Sneak Peek for the Forbert Family : {Parker, CO & Denver, CO Family Photography}

This family has such a special place in my heart! I have been lucky enough to have called their mom, Mandi, one of my closest friends for the past 5 years. I am blessed to know this family. Our kids love each other and she is an amazing pianist who has taken on the task of teaching my girls piano as well. Tom is also one amazing guy! He has such a funny sense of humor and is as easy going as can be. We love our Tommy-Bear :) Well, I have officially embarrassed this family enough! Love you guys tremendously!

Sneak Peek for the talented Miss H : {Senior Portrait Photographer, Parker & Denver, CO}

I can't speak highly enough about this BEAUTIFUL lady! She is stunning both inside and out. We took off to downtown Denver near Union Station and had an absolute blast. From being able to slip inside an impressive looking car to being able to listen to her sing a spot on rendition of "Mean" by Taylor Swift

the original

Here is Miss H's rendition (it's brief but I LOVE it!) And I'm still working on my skills as a 'videographer' :) Obviously not really my skill set and the fact that the airplane flying over nearly drowns out my sweet friend...but all that aside : ENJOY IT!

A Few Sneak Peeks! Craig & Jessica and Tianna & Justin

I have been able to really enjoy my last few sessions. Two engagement sessions and I absolutely loved both of them! For the first, we headed over to Castle Rock area and had a great time exploring. Craig and Jessica are a stunning couple visually, but they are some of the kindest individuals too. I was having the best time with them. Here is just a small sampling of their session.





Later that evening I ran around downtown Denver with Tianna & Justin. Tianna works with my husband and so I've known her on a very casual level - but never really gotten a chance to hang out with her. Tianna is a sweetheart! And so is her fiance, Justin. The two of them have been together since high school. They were troopers as we even managed to endure a nasty downpour of rain - and still they kept on smiling!

Sneak Peek for Erin & Wade : {Engagement Photographer, Red Rocks & Denver, CO}

This session was so incredibly fun! I can't say enough about how great these two are! We ran from Red Rocks in Morrison, CO to Union Station in downtown Denver. I am always impressed by how well dressed and coordinated people can be! Seriously, I try to think through wardrobe outfits and make great choices throughout the day and yet NOT ONCE have I ever put together outfits as cute as these! Erin is a true diva, in a good way! Wade held his own too! He is an impressive guy - they make an amazing couple!

Enjoy the sneak peek!







This series is one of my VERY FAVORITES I have EVER done! And this idea was one that required some serious work! Erin went digging in the recycling bin for the newspaper and Wade came up with some of the BEST shots in here!

Sneak Peek for the M. Family {Stapleton, CO & Denver, CO Family Photographer}

I have to thank this family again and again for how wonderful they were! We wandered all over downtown Denver with them. Poor J kept running back to get his car and repark it only to have me walk back to where it was originally parked ;) But, it was so pleasant to be with you and your beautiful children! I hope you will allow me the chance to photograph your family again in the near future!

Enjoy the sneak peek!

I have to say, little M. C knows how to pose!! It was so much fun!

Urban {Children Photographer, Denver, Colorado}

I always find myself trying to 'sell' the idea of the downtown, urban look in children or family portraits. Obviously and most importantly, I want my clients to go where they want to go and get the images they are hoping for - but, sometimes giving them an option that they wouldn't normally consider or even think about is fun. So, just to give you and idea of how fun/cool an urban setting can be, check out the images below.

Finally ~ Updates {Denver Children Photographer, Flower Me Pretty}

Flower Me Pretty by Amy Almeida - This was a great photo shoot downtown at Union Station. Amy sells these beautiful bows and has recently gotten really involved in this business. She asked if we could do a shoot to highlight the bows - I think the bows are gorgeous and the images captured how many ways you can use these with a variety of outfits and hairstyles. Such a fun day. The girls were wonderful and were helping pick where to take different shots and what poses they wanted to do...so stinkin' cute!

Brandon & Jeri! {Denver, CO Wedding Photographer}

There are those times in your life that you are so truly thankful for two people lucky enough to have found each other! Today I witnessed the joining of two such people in marriage. Jeri and Brandon are such a beautiful couple to begin with, but more than that ~ I was beyond impressed by the sheer magnitude that each of them saw this day meaning for them. It wasn't that the details of the day didn't matter...of course they did. They always do. But, more than that - they grasp what the day was really about. It was about the dress, the flowers, the hair, the hall, the reception, the pictures...nothing more than the joining of the two of them as man and wife to love and look out for each other above all else. I felt so lucky to have been a part of their day!

Being now 32 weeks pregnant, it's hard to hide the obviousness of my situation. I am pretty good at keeping up with my typical schedule, but it doesn't hurt that others are so willing to look out for your best interest. Thank you for making sure I was well taken care of throughout the day Brandon and Jeri!

I know this isn't much, but here's a sneak peek at some of the special moments of the day! Enjoy and have a great time on your honeymoon!







Congratulations again!! I am thrilled for the two of you!
