Family Photographer in Castle Rock, CO

 I am loving these spur of the moment clients that want to come out and play with me in the snow 

(enter song from Frozen here… "Do you wanna build a snowman??"

 Today was perfect because the snow was gorgeous and the temps were quite pleasant (on like last weekend where the frost was gorgeous but we were freezing!)

 Brock and Beth are right at the tippy top of my favorite people list, they have been such loyal client and I so blessed to know them and have the opportunity to watch their kiddos grow up! 

 They even invited me along on a family vacation to Vail for photos… Rod and kids came too and we had a fabulous time!

 But this year… Beth wanted snow (smart girl) so, we waited and plotted and finally it happened!

All the pieces fit together for a beautiful winter time shoot!

 Maddie and Gavin were… well, STINKIN' PERFECT!!

They make my job such a JOY!

 The snow was falling off the trees like crazy and Gavin got dumped on!!

 You got love Colorado!  It just doesn't get any better than this!

 LOVE LOVE LOVE this photo of Beth and her kids!

 Of course, we wrapped up the shoot with a snowball fit and some fun in the snow!

 Thanks, Kanes!  What a great way to start the weekend!

Senior Pictures in Castle Rock, CO

Yesterday it was freezing… but that is what made for such a beautiful day!

The frost coated every branch and it was perfect!

So… I texted Jaelin, who was waiting for snow to take her senior pictures and said 

"Today's the DAY!!" 

 Two hours later we were out in this winter land of beauty taking pictures of a true beauty.

Not just any one would be willing to brave the frigid temps and I had to be careful to shoot in between her breaths so you wouldn't see all fog but we did it!  And it was worth every 

chattering tooth!

 This was a super fun shoot because she was willing to do whatever I asked, although she was a little concerned about the mutant giant rabbits...

 and at one point there was a concern over being shot with an air soft gun; but we managed to escaped unharmed.  I can not say the same thing for her heels, they have definitely seen better days.

 Another one of my favorite moments was when I warned Jaelin to be looking for cactus, she assured me she would.  After walking quite a ways I said "Oh, see there, cactus" and she replied "Oh, that's what a cactus looks like?"  Oh… Jaelin.

 I often say how much I like winter shoots… Could this contrast be any prettier!?

Oh man… I just heard the garage door go up.  That means the hubster is home and I better get this kitchen clean so I can start thinking about dinner!

 Jaelin, I had an awesome time with you!  You are truly a beautiful girl, even more so where it counts… on the inside!

Kid's Photographer in Castle Rock, CO

 I got to spend the early morning hours of my Valentine's Day with this handsome fella.

 Ben was marking his 2nd birthday!!  Frankly, I find it very hard to believe that Ben is already TWO!

 I brought Lauren's trusty wagon along just incase he might be interested in having a ride.

I think he like it!

 That is one SWEET FACE!

If you listen really hard… I think you can almost hear the giggle in this photo!

 And of course there is always a little discovery time with the boys!!

Happy Birthday Ben!!!!

Newborn Photographer in Parker, CO

Meet Mr. Ethen!

This is my have photo of the day!  Piggies, lips, chubby cheeks all in one photo!

I like this one a lot too… the airplanes belonged to his Grandpa and his God-Mother made the beautiful blanket!!

 Another hand made blanket and hat!  There were booties too, but Ethan was not entirely happy with me moving him around, so we had to skip the booties.

 Poor little baby boy had a serious case of hick ups!  

 Sports was the theme of his nursery… and this soccer ball what the prop of choice to highlight.  I gotta say I was quite happy that Ethan gave us this shot!   And I LOVE his little mouth!!!

Thanks Sara, Kevin and Lois ( Grandma) for allowing me to photograph this sweet baby boy!

Children's Photographer in Castle Rock, CO

 I know… right!  I mean seriously!!!!  

I can't even stand it.

Yes, Kensington is uber adorable! (Need I point out the lower lip!)

 Of course I am always happy when one of my shoots involves the Cozza girls, because in addition to their fabulousness, I get to see their mama!

 I am loving the headband, I even broke out in a little of Olivia Newton John's "Let's Get Physical" (I am not even kidding!" and on a side note, isn't that totally weird about her husband???) I had a very stylish headband myself… it was white, navy blue and gold, a simple braid, oh so chic'! 

 Now, here's the fun stuff on the left you have Kensington, on the right her big sister, Keeley at her 1 year old shoot a couple of years ago!!

 Oh yes, very fun shoot!!  

 Today was also a very fun day!  The girlies and I went downtown to see the Colorado ballet's performance of Cinderella and then afterwards we hit Steve's Snappy Dogs for lunch.  My friends seemed a little less excited about my restaurant, but I made them power through… it was d-e-licous!

I will definitely go back again. 

 Now we are back at home, back in the real world and it's time to figure out what's for dinner.

So until next time!!!
