Miss Emerson

Emerson needed some new pictures done, so her mom and I got together for a quick session today. It was cold outside (in June!) so we set up inside. Here are a few of my favorites:

Can you believe this pose? She already knows how to work it for the camera!

Hiking Devil's Head - Sedalia, CO

Okay - this is not a business related post. Instead, it's a proud-mama post. I can't help it...

This weekend my family and went hiking and Soren climbed his very first mountain! We went to Devil's Head, a little Southwest of Sedalia. We weren't sure how well the kids would do, but they really surprised us. Amelia sat contentedly in her sling, and Soren powered up the mountain like a pro!

He kept stopping to comment on hhow beautiful the views were.

The path is pretty well laid out. The part that goes through the Aspen Grove, and beside a small creek was my favorite part. Soren was a fan of the little rocks he could sit on for a break. We had to stop several times for Amelia to gt down and play. She thought it was so fun to be outside of her element, and really wanted to explore. I have to admit it: the stairs to the tower terrified me. I've never been scared of heights, but I was terrified to have my kids up there. The figure at the tower is my husband holding our baby.

The view was so worth it. I'm not really a landscape photographer, but I was happy with this one. Amelia slept the entire time we were at the top.

Soren was quite impressed by the view - and by his accomplishment. He told everyone we passed, "I went to the tower, and I'm only four-and-a-half!"



It was a great day! It also made me realize what a great place the mountains would be for a family portrait session - if you are interested, I'd LOVE to customize a package!

Family Photos

I had the pleasure of taking family photos for a family I've known for a while now - we met in Child birth class about five years ago. Amazing how much everyone has grown!!

Here are a few of my favorites from the session:


The cherry blossoms in Denver are in full bloom - and make for a great photo backdrop

Aren't her eyes incredible?

We did some more traditional family shots as well, but I love the looks you get on the kids' faces when you do a pose like this. You can't ask for more natural smiles.

Something about this one I just loved - not sure why. Maybe it's because it looks like she's setting out for an adventure, all on her own.

Thanks for letting me photograph your beautiful family - it was truly a pleasure!

And my own...

I thought I'd put up a few of my own little ones. Here are some recent favorites. All of them are from a trip to the park, except the second, which my husband took (he's getting over his fear of my camera) and I processed.

Brand New Baby "R"

Isn't he cute!

Website!

My new website is almost done. I picked the two images for my front page yesterday. I love both of them. Here they are:

Family Session in the Mountains

This weekend I was lucky enough to photograph this beautiful family at their home in the foothills. Here are some of my favorites - their little girls were darling!
