This afternoon, I was with a fabulous group of sisters. I have 3 girls of my own, so I kept thinking about what my life would be like with 3 more. Complete and total chaos!! But WOW!! what an incredible blessing to be surrounded with so many girls! That is one lucky mommy!
Oh how I wish I could remember all their names!!! I tried really, really hard! But the girl in the blue sweater tripped me up! (I hate getting old!)

This is Jolene...

Suzanne...

Say Hello, to Kim,

Jennifer and...

Jacklyn!!

What a fun shoot! Their parents are gonna love this Christmas gift for sure!!! Dinner is calling! Until next time.

Family Fun in Littleton, Colorado

Yesterday, I was with the Becker family. It was a tiny tad bit chilly but in the end the shoot was a huge success! Isn't little Shae a cutie! I just love shooting at different locations and this outdoor shopping area was completely fabulous! Well, I am going to make it short tonight, it's time for the bedtime routine at the Cooksey house. I hope you enjoy this sneak peek!!

Chasin' the Storm or Runnin' from it...

Well, today our luck ran out with the weather. I had a shoot scheduled for 3:00pm today, but heeding the forecast we bumped it up to noon. This of course was not an easy thing, the kids had to be taken out of school and Jeremy had to rearrange his appointment and all the while the clouds were growing darker and darker overhead. But we gotter done! Erin told me she wanted a good family picture (code for "posed") oh, Erin... your killin' me, remember the line from Pretty Woman, "I'll meet'cha in the lobby but only cuz your payin' me too", well, my line would have been "I'll do the posed picture but only cuz your my friend!!" Of course, in my mind, if I was a really good friend I would have convinced her to bag the posed photo and let me "do my thang". Well... the couch and my hubby are calling so I am outta here! I love you, Erin!!

Okay, one more post tonight and then I am off to bed. I have to be to church early and stay late but then I am off to see Mama Mia!! That should be tons of fun! So, say hello to the Kasten Family. Ya know what? Just today I had two clients that sometimes go by their initials C. J., how funny is that? The dad from this morning shot and the little girl from this evenings shoot, just a little side note. So I am very excited, Flat Ryan from Oregon is coming to visit (if you have an elementary age child, you probably know what I am talking about). I can't wait to take Flat Ryan out for a photo shoot!! Stay tuned... I will have to post some pictures from that shoot. Okay, I'm going to wrap it up, clearly I am getting tired and starting to ramble. Nighty Night! Cija

Sometimes, I forget that I started this blog as a way to showcase some of "my favorite" pictures from each of my shoots; but often times, I find myself combing thru the pictures looking for the pictures I think the clients will like the best. You know the "just so" pictures, everyone looking at the camera and showing off their best smiles... but that is soooo not me. Take the picture above, I love it! There is nothing traditional about it... but I think it tells a story and you get to write the ending. Another favorite of mine... I love the pictures where families are just being families, every expression is familiar and part of their every day life.

But this one... well, it's my favorite shot of the day. Ally was having a very typical photoshoot for her age (18-36 months can be very interesting sometimes). She was... well... not having it, and pretty upset, right up until daddy pulled out his wallet and asked her "Hey Ally, Do you want daddy's money?" Instantly... problem solved! So funny!

Well, it was another beautiful day in Colorado... I hope you enjoyed this sneak peek at the Jenkin's session! Until next time. Cija
