Portraits ~ Spinnato Family

Love, Love, Love The Spinnato Family... Brian and I have been friends since our early "waiting tables" days and it has grown from business associates to a lifelong friendship that has since come to include Allison and their daughter Ava! It had been over a year since I had seen any of them so really glad I got a chance to see how much Ava has grown! She's a little heart breaker! I hope they had as much fun as I did! A beautiful family for sure!

Portraits ~ Gomez Family

I met Mary through my new business networking group with Team National... very excited to be a part of this group! Can you believe that this photogenic family had never had a professional family portrait done! Exciting for me because I got to be their first and hopefully their last family photographer! We had a lot of fun... so I hope they come back in the future!

Portraits ~ Lechman Family

Another beautiful Fall day in Boulder... headed out with Angie, Matt & Paige to take some family portraits in the 70 degree+ weather! Amazing! I think the beautiful weather has been driving everyone to want and do family portraits! I had a lot of fun with these guys! Paige moves quick so I had to take a lot, but we still got a lot of wonderful photos! Thanks... Hope you love the photos!

Senior ~ Holly

Holly actually graduated in 2010, but never got her senior photos taken because she was still wearing braces. The Goins sisters recommended her to me and she kept my number for over a year! Awesome! So I received a call from her mom on a Tuesday and we did her photos the next day! Using a lot of the beautiful Fall colors to make some very colorful and unique portraits!

Portraits ~ Wheeler Family

Ah, Fall... the wondrous time of year when the leaves change color and the temperature starts to get colder! And I start to get many family portraits in anticipation for holiday cards! Getting to photograph the Wheeler family has been exciting to me! I photographed Anthony & Colleen's wedding back in 2006, so this is the first time I've met their new edition! What a handful! But also so much fun! The more photos I do of little guys the better I get acquainted with their little quirks! Here are some suggestions I have for making their photo sessions run smoothly whether they are with me or someone else: 1.) Try to make nap time as close as possible to their session time. If they wake up refreshed and ready to go, more than likely they will be much happier in their photos. 2.) Bring something that grabs their attention: a favorite toy, something that makes noise, etc. 3.) Let the kids be kids... and don't rush them, some of my favorite photos are of children having fun. If your session is going to run an hour plan on 2 hours just to make sure you have plenty of time in case your child gets cranky so you can allow for time for the crankiness to wear off. 4.) An extra shirt or outfit is also always suggested in case of spills or getting dirty!

Engagement ~ Jennifer & Brian

Fall colors are upon us! A perfect time for family portraits and engagement sessions! I'm working feverishly to get as many portrait sessions as I can in before the leaves are all gone! I have plenty of dates available during the week, but weekends are filling up!

We met Jennifer at a bridal show in August, surprisingly she wasn't a bride yet! She was there representing the company she works for Red Rocks Country Club as their pastry chef! And I guess we just hit it off... and then wow, Brian proposed to her and we were booked to do her 2011 wedding! I actually had a lot of fun photographing this couple... they were very playful and even Brian had suggestions for shots! I love it when the couple really get into the photo-shoot.... I'm really looking forward to their wedding next year! Enjoy their engagement session photos and their forthcoming photo guest book!

Portriat ~ Landon ~ Cake Smash

Got to photograph one of my favorite little guys today for his 1st Birthday Cake Smash... My first experience with a photo-shoot of this type so I didn't know what to expect! Landon was just adorable and so careful! He didn't really like smashing into the cake although I did think he liked tasting the frosting! Lots of fun and awesome images!
