Expecting ~ Brighton Custom Portrait Photographer

J and I met back in High School, but for some reason she and I lost touch with each other. We reconnected via Face Book this past spring, and immediately met for lunch to catch up on each other’s lives. I told her that I had married the guy I was dating back when we last hung out and that the two of us have a darling daughter, and she told me all about this sweet guy she had been dating. Since then they have gotten engaged and pregnant! I think she thinks I jinxed her :) but isn’t too upset about it. This past weekend was the first time I met B, and let me tell you these two are one Hawt couple! Well you can see that for your self… Their little boy is going to be D.A.R.L.I.N.G. and I can not wait to meet him! Their lil man is due on Christmas day! J you do pregnancy well and look absolutely fantastic!! I hope you Love your sneak peek as much as I do :)

Little Man ~ Brighton Newborn Photographer

I met Lil R’s mommy back in May, I believe, at Thornton’s annual Thornton Fest. This session has been planned for some time now, and let me tell you it was great! R is such a chill Lil Man and I spent 5 hours w/him, because he was so relaxed, mommy and I put him and on just about everything I brought with me. R’s big sister Hanna, who makes an appearance in two of these images :) was SO well behaved that I often forgot she was even there. R was just 4lbs 12oz when he was born two days past his EDD, so next to the twins I reticently spent some time with he’s one of the smallest babes I’ve photographed.

Mom, Dad, it was fantastic to see you again, thank you for inviting me into your home to spend some time w/your Lil Man! Sorry that I loitered for so long, but I still say it’s all your fault :) I will work on a few things/products we discussed this afternoon and get your gallery up shortly!

In the nick of time ~ Brighton Senior Portrait Photographer

Last night I met up with K at her Grandma’s house for a quick, last minute Mini Senior Session. K’s mom stopped by my booth last month and we were able to set up, as K’s school’s deadline for their yearbook images is next Friday!

I had a great time last night ladies! Enjoy your sneak peek, I’ll have your gallery up by the end of the weekend!

Tough Crowd ~ Denver Metro Area Children’s Photographer

OH LORD!!! This was my toughest session to date! X wanted absolutely nothing to do with my camera, and beautiful J wasn’t too sure about it either. Mom booked this session during the Market Days event here in Brighton, the last time I had a booth, and since she took advantage of booking that very day she scored the AWESOME same day booking gift. She will receive a complimentary set of Mini Accordion Albums with her completed order. Don’t worry, I’ll announce another event taking place next month where you too can take advantage of this awesome offer! But back to X & lil sis J for now :) There was a period of time during our session when X ran around (away from me) with his tongue sticking out, how it made me laugh! When mom would set J down barefoot she LOVED it!!! I’ve never seen a baby react to the ground as she did, and OMG was it ever cute! She would kick her feet back and forth in the dirt, rocks, bark, or grass, did I mention how cute this was?!?! Mom enjoy your sneak peek, and I’ll have your complete gallery up in just a few days.

This was one of the first photos I took of X. It pretty much sums up what he thought of the entire session. :)

New kids on the block ~ Denver Metro Area Newborn Photographer

Little L & L are the newest addition to my neighborhood, well as far as I know but I only know about 8 families in the area ;-P
These lil guys are so sweet and content, mom and dad got lucky! As most twins are, these guys were preemies and spent some time in the hospital after they were born. Both are doing quite well and it will be no time before they are chasing my little girl around.
Mom & Dad congratulations on your new addition, I know it was a long road to get here, but so worth it! Enjoy your sneak peek.

Twin Two ~ Denver Metro Area Senior Portrait Photographer

Last night I meet up w/J for his Senior Portrait Session, and let me tell you it.was.a.blast! J was really into his session, as was I. We started in one area of our location to get some shots with his twin sister, then we moved to the best part of the location. I scouted out this area when my Grandma was in town a few weeks ago, and couldn’t wait to come back w/a client. When J’s mom said he had suggested this location I was THRILLED! Tho his other location choice would have been cool too :) J was a natural in front of my camera and I just love that he was full of ideas and suggestions. J you were a blast to work with! And J it was nice to see you again, my camera loves you :)

See you all again soon! Enjoy…

P.S. If you go to school with these two, your yearbook submission is due September 10th! That is RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER! I have some openings thru Aug 15th. If your session is completed by then I can meet the school’s deadline for your yearbook image! Contact me ASAP!!

Cousins ~ Denver Metro Area Children Photographer

These two beautiful kiddos are not cousins to each other, but they are cousins to Miss Mia. So that makes them my niece and nephew. This evening we hit up two of the awesome locations I found when my sister was home, but they had changed quite a bit in the month since I’d been there with her. The first location’s weeds were so tall we couldn’t do anything, and quickly moved on to the second. Here there were not any more wild flowers, and some of the tall grass had been mowed. It has been hot the past few weeks and things were also dryer, but that didn’t stop us. We spend the rest of the evening there and played a bit at the playground after the sun had gone too far down to shoot. Enjoy your sneak peek, I’ll have the rest ready shortly!

Third time's the charm ~ Denver Metro Area Children Photographer

You have NO idea how many things I had X’d so that I could use this title! This is the third time we have scheduled these lil cuties for their session. I’m thrilled it all worked out this time. My last blog posting w/these three was very long so I’ll keep this one nice and short.

Mom, Dad, it was nice to see you again, hope you love the sneak peek!

A Dream~ Denver Metro Area Family Photographer

When Mom e-mailed me about family portraits I got super excited, and even more so when she was up for an urban session at a location I have been wanting to shot again.

I am LOVING where we live, there are so many awesome places that just beg me to have my next set of clients to.
I could have spent all morning with these three down town, they are a photographer's dream, but sweet lil S was getting tuckered out and let us know that the session was over. It wasn’t over soon enough for Dad, he isn’t a fan of “pictures”, but he is my cousin and would have stayed as long as I wanted him to. He and his brother both, have the most photogenic better halves, with smiles to die for!
Thanks again for breakfast! And see you at Christmas, hehe!

Rain Rain Go Away ~ Denver Metro Area Children Photographer

I was supposed to meet these lil cuties two weeks ago. Three days before our session, I just happen to drive by our location and see a huge CDOT sign saying the road would be closed all weekend. When I got home I called the city who called CDOT for me and confirmed the entrance, to the perfect location I just found earlier this month, would be closed. ACK! I drove around the park for about 20 min and determined that we would just have to walk too far to lug my toy chest and a few other props around. I was so in love with the location, and mom knew it so she sweetly suggested we reschedule for this weekend. Our first session was destined to be canceled, as the entire weekend was full of awful weather!
Fast forward to yesterday. Mom makes a lil comment about the sky early afternoon. Being only 5 mins from our location I wasn’t worried. It was hot out, and overcast w/beautiful fluffy white clouds and heavenly blue skies. We were to meet at 6pm but I saw it may shower at 6; it had cooled down and was overcast so I called to see if we could move our appointment up, and we did by an hour.
I leave my house with the same beautiful skies we had a few hours ago and head to our location, when I see awful skies just past the park and it was moving our way. “ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!” I was saying in my head as I called mom to suggest another location on the other side of town that had nice clear skies.
Long story longer… We both change directions and meet up at the new location. Mom and Dad quickly get the kiddos ready, we unloaded the props, headed to a field and put the kiddo’s backs to the pretty blue skies. But after only a short while we started to get sprinkled on, and with the skies rolling in from the west we decided to pack it up. We looked at samples and contemplated weather or not the sky would clear up or not. In the end mom decided it best to reschedule, as it was getting closer and closer to bed time, and we really want nice skies and pretty light.
The upside to all of this?!?! I got to meet these three blond darlings, and… we found yet ANOTHER fantastic location, that we are going back to next month when we meet again.
Mom spent all the time getting the kiddos ready for the session (and if you’ve ever had a custom portrait photography session with little ones, you know what that can entail, from clothes shopping, to hair cuts, to ensuring kiddos are well rested, packing up the car, driving across town to the perfect location your photographer is in love with) it would be cruel not to share some of the moments I was able to capture.

Mom I hope you enjoy this lil peak, can’t wait to see you again next month!

It's Fun to be One ~ Denver Metro Area Baby Photographer

Lil Miss E turned One last month, and today couldn't have been a more beautiful day for her One Year Portraits. I have photographed E since she was born, and it's been so fun to see her grow over the past year. E is always so serious, but today I caught some smiles! Baby smiles (other than those caused by gas as infants) are always so funny, and way over the top. None of these images are of her smiling, but promise I finally got some! This session has been my most favorite by far w/Lil E over the past year.

E liked my lil baby chairs...

How cute are her lil jacket and bonnet?



I wonder what the ppl who work at this place are going to think when they see lil hand prints on their front door. I hope it makes them smile.





Thanks for coming over Auntie and Cousin E! Hope you enjoy the sneak peek, I stayed up extra late cause I was so excited to post it for you.
