Baby M. and Family

This week I spent a fun afternoon photographing baby M. and his family. His grandparents were in town for a visit, so we got pictures of him with everyone! Here are a few of my favorites:


Loved this one of M. and his parents.

Got your nose!

His grandmother is beautiful, isn't she?

His family has beautiful rose bushes. I loved the way they looked in black and white.
...and in color
look at those eyes!
Hmmm...family resemblance?
I love the look of pure joy he has here.

Thanks for letting me spend the afternoon with you!

Today I got an awesome little package in the mail: a CD with my photography on it! The very talented Jazz singer Heather Marie Philipp and I got together several months ago for a photo shoot - I am so excited to see the end result.

She's beautiful AND talented: check her music out at www.heathermariephilipp.com


Any of you musicians out there in need of something like this, shoot me an email! I love to give fellow artists great deals :)

J. and P. are getting married!

J. and P. and I got together Saturday afternoon for their engagement session. We met up at Addenbrooke park in Lakewood, right by the church where they'll be holding their ceremony. While we were getting some great pictures of these two, we scouted the park out for good locations to photograph their wedding party in August.

These two are so sweet together, and so clearly in love.

J teared up a few times at the sweet-nothings P kept whispering in her ear. I'm such a sucker for that kind of romantic stuff - I'm so excited to shoot their wedding!

Thanks for sharing your afternoon with me, guys! Can't wait for the big event in August!

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 in Littleton

This Saturday I had a great time taking photographs of this lovely family in Littleton. They have two gorgeous little boys, and I had lots of fun following them around in the backyard and in the beautiful open space near their house.

Here's the littlest one - he has seriously amazing eyes

here they are in color - told you they're gorgeous!

Big brother kept giving me the most adorable crinkle-nose grin. I couldn't resist putting one up here.

He also has beautiful eyes...

Very cool field near their house. I love the tall grass.

Mommy and babyI love the look he's giving his brother here

here they are together - I really loved this field by their house.
Awww, big-brother hugs!
Thanks for letting me spend the afternoon with you beautiful family!

Natalie and Thad's Engagement Session

This Thursday I met up with Natalie and Thad, whose wedding I'm photographing this August. We met up at Coors Field to start with, because the two of them are big Rockies fans.
They were willing to get a little adventurous on Blake Street... I knew we'd have a good session after they were game for this pose!Aren't they a beautiful couple?We headed over to Riverfront Park for a few shots. One of my favorite things about photographing weddings and engagement sessions (and family sessions too, actually) is seeing how much these people love each other. It just makes me happy. I don't always notice these sweet little looks while I'm shooting away, but then I get home and open up a gem like this one. *Sigh* I love my job!Thad has a great eye! He spotted this awesome little spot of white water along the Platte - it was a perfect spot for photos. They're gorgeous together.


This was my favorite from the whole day, I think. It was also one of the very last shots! I think Natalie looks like an old-Hollywood movie star - can't wait to see her as a bride!!
