Three!

Happy Birthday to my favorite little three-year-old!

Contest Winner!

This little cutie was the winner of my Facebook contest and yesterday was the day for his photosession!  He was a joy to photograph... six-month-olds are so much fun because they're so happy and can't yet crawl away!

He was a little unsure of being in the grass at first, but soon warmed up to the idea and gave some great smiles.

Such a great family!

At this point, he was so ready for a nap, but patiently posed for a few more shots.  I love this classic black & white!

Outdoor Girl!

I have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of this little one- her mom is a friend of mine from elementary school.  She agreed to bring her 10-day-old over to me so that we could take advantage of the open space behind my house.  And that we did...

Then we came back in...

She looks so content in daddy's arms..

And the special hats in these next two were knitted by her grandmother...

Congratulations to all of you- she is such a beauty!

I had the pleasure of photographing this little beauty yesterday.  She was 16 days old, which is a little older for a "newborn," but she slept great!  Her mom was so easy-going and up for anything!

Proud big sister!

Thanks again... I had so much with you guys!

Senior

I was so excited to photograph this beautiful girl- my first high school senior.  Clearly, she has an awesome smile and was a natural in front of the camera!  After venturing around downtown Denver, we headed south for some more pictures in the open space.  She was such a trooper... we did a lot of walking and it was hot!

Love the colors here- she and her mom paid attention to every detail, including the jewelry.

I hope you enjoy your preview and wish you all the best during your senior year!

Great Family, Great Location

My friend, Lisa, and her family were in town from Florida. Since the whole group was together, it was the perfect opportunity for a family portrait at Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs.

Here's Grandma, Grandpa, and all of their grandkids...

Lisa's sister, Julie, and her family...

and Lisa with her family, who just welcomed their baby girl in May.

So good to see you all... hope your visit in Colorado was great!

9 Days

I have been eagerly awaiting this little guy's arrival and photo session.  Here he is at nine days old with an amazing head of hair...

He was awake for quite some time...

but then he gave in after a few "white noise" tricks and posed for some sleepy shots.

It's a... Girl!

This sweet five day old was the first newborn GIRL I've had the opportunity to photograph.  She was "practically perfect in every way" and a complete dream to photograph!

Once we got her settled, she was so peaceful in this basket.

Boy Oh Boy!

This gorgeous mama is due with a baby boy in just a few short weeks.  We took a couple quick shots in the open space behind my house so she could remember her growing belly!

Bis sister is pretty excited for her baby brother to come!

Special Little Guy

Baby Will was born just six days ago and I was so excited to photograph him.  He was so sleepy and very cooperative!  Here are a few favorites...

I was so excited to capture this little "smile."

Congratulations Amber and Charlie- Will is definitely one special little guy!

Happy Memorial Day!

Thank you to all of our service men and women, past and present.
