Shanti | Children’s Photography, Boulder Colorado

Shanti’s mom contacted me earlier this year to set up a family photo session. Recognizing that her daughter is quickly growing up, she wanted to capture photographs of Shanti still as her little girl. We shot the session at the beginning of February and lucked out with a beautiful sunny day. I love this triptych arrangement they ordered to display in their home:

Colin: My Little Dental Floss Eater

This afternoon while I was placing a couple of my clients’ print orders I decided it was time for me to get some of my own printed out.  Colin will now have his very own wall of glory featuring his crazy smiles and shaggy hair. :)

And if you’re not already friends with me on Facebook, you missed this status update a couple of days ago:

“This morning I was flossing my teeth. Colin was watching and asked if he could floss his teeth too, so I gave him a piece. Then he ate it. Should’ve known he was really looking for a morning snack.”

Denver Family Photo Session

I had such a great time photographing this family of five.  Yes. Five.  Count them carefully. :)

Photographing a Photographer

A little while ago Brenda contacted me about shooting her family photos.  I was a touch more-than-usual nervous about the session, as Brenda is also a photographer!  Thankfully it all went well–and now I have a new friend who shares my obsession with apertures, large prints and all things Canon. :)

And of course, a couple of new portraits for her bio page. :)brla4

If you look this cute when you come to pick up your prints…

…I MIGHT just have to take a photo of you.  Again. :)

Remember Zoë, from her family photo session last year?  They came back for more this year, and I’ve got lots of great ones that I can’t wait to share as soon as I get a chance.  For now, here’s a cute detail from the session:

Colin’s 2!

Last week Colin turned two (!!), so I took the afternoon off to get some photos in our backyard:

James enjoyed Colin’s birthday just as much Colin did (he “helped” him blow out his candles AND unwrap his birthday presents)cwbd3

I know I’m biased, but I’ve never seen someone eat a peanut butter rice krispie treat and look THAT cute.cwbd4

My Boys, Summer 2009

I realized recently that with the craziness of business this summer that I’d taken very few photos of James and Colin. Last week we decided to fix that.

This one is my new computer wallpaper. I love it.  It’s so James. so Colin.

I have a journal for both James and Colin that I’ve written in since the day they were born.  Thought I’d share a funny entry from James’:

 

Sunday, July 12, ‘09

Today I was complaining how hot it was in our house/how hot I was.  James said, “Do you want me to get you a cold blanket?”…

 

….James was telling me stories tonight.  It was about a boy who liked to climb mountains, but then fell in a hole…there were spiders in the hole…and they bit the boy, so he had to go to the doctor.

“Did he have to get shots?” I asked.

“Yes.”

“Did he cry?”

“No,  because he didn’t have a head…the spiders bit it off.”

Colin is a funny guy too….he just has less of a vocabulary to be funny with.
On Sunday when we were driving home from church, Colin was pointing out things that were exciting to him.

“moto-cycle daddy…! see it?!”

“trash truck mommy…! see it?!”

Then we drove passed a house with a fair amount of garbage/broken everythings in their front yard.

“garage sale daddy…! see it?!?”

Ha! (it wasn’t a garage sale)
