Northern Colorado Wedding & Portrait Photographer | Denver, Aspen, Boulder, Longmont
Last week Jim and I photographed this crazy cool family (friends of ours, actually, from our church). Special huge shout out to Nancy, who let us borrow her farm for the session, which provided the backdrop for some fantastic shots.
I’m pretty sure Olivia has the sweetest face I’ve ever seen.
Hooray for spring! The grass is green, the weather is warm, and the SUN is still up after 5 pm!! Perfect conditions for a great photo shoot. Here are a few favorites from last week’s family/newborn photo session.
Aaaah….newborn baby….so precious……
How to look like you DIDN’T just have a baby, right after you have a baby?? I have NO idea. Ask Daynia!
Throughout the 25 years that Noella and Steve have been married, they have bought and fixed houses (12 of them!). Even today, they are living in a 100 year old house in Old Town Longmont (jealous..? I am.) that they are still in the process of fixing up.
We took the traditional family portraits, of course, but my favorites come from the last set we did, of the family sitting on the scaffolding outside of their house…because, in a small way, it defines who they are and their lives together.
After the family shots we let beautiful Emma run (crawl) wild in the yard. I very easily could have stayed there all night snapping photos of her…
Emma has tons of personality…isn’t it obvious??
When Dani first contacted me about photographing her daughter Zoe, we discussed a few possible options for photo session locations. Midway through our conversation, Dani told me a few of the tremendous events that have already happened in Zoe’s life…the biggest being open-heart surgery at four months of age. In every photo session I make it my goal to capture the personalities of my subjects, so we decided to shoot the session where Zoe has spent a portion of the first year of her life–the Primary Children’s Hospital in Aurora, Colorado. Our goal there was to capture Zoe’s courageous spirit and cheerful personality.
This one, to me, screams of Zoe’s courageous spirit. So beautiful, so brave, with the scar to prove it.
…and these ones, of Zoe’s cheerful personality.
I think Zoe’s parents are equally courageous and amazing.
This one was probably the analytical Art Historian in me coming through…
Looking ahead toward a bright and beautiful future.
Remember back in September…the drawing I held for a free photo session??? The winner was Erika, who gave me the privilege, last week, of photographing her awesome family:
Doesn’t it seem as though it is statistically impossible for 95% of my recent clients’ print orders to all come in within a few days of each other??? Yeah…I thought so too….but here I am with a fat stack of print orders that need to be worked on…
Sorry blog. :)
Lots going on this week…print orders, graphic design projects, and friends and family in town for THANKSGIVING (whoop whoop!), but I thought I’d share just a couple of photos from the family I photographed last week.
It’s November and the weather was amazing. We had planned on scarves and mittens, but it was sunny and warm. Sometimes Colorado surprises me like that!
Trust me…no one did what you might be thinking. She likes to talk holding her nose though…it sounds funny.
They remind me of myself when I was that age. I LOVED stickers!!
These two brothers are awesome. Period. What else can I say?
This is what happens when two brothers sit together a couple seconds too long…
Owen and Keegan love playing football with eachother. Seeing how much fun they had together makes me super excited for the day when Colin can run around with James without getting completely trampled.
Owen’s smile here…priceless. :)
