Kendall, Joey and Grant in Stapleton
I learned a great deal on this photo shoot with one of my favorite families; the first is that you can’t take pictures at Park Meadows Mall without getting permission first. (Luckily we had already taken as many as we needed before the security guard arrived and explained this rule!) It was actually a blessing to have to move outdoors as we returned to Stapleton and explored some great locations right in our own backyard. And that leads to the second lesson: stay away from boys with snowballs. 
And lesson #3: two year old adorable girls have personalities to match. Thanks, Tony and Tonette, for letting me share part of your day!
One of the things I love to do when shooting landmark birthdays is to photograph the child with something important to the parents (a baseball cap, dad’s shirt, or, in this case, grandmother’s pink beads). Kendall had a blast trying to hide the necklace from me, but I managed to capture this one with it on; I can’t wait to see how she wears it at three!
Elsie & Duane & Family in Douglas County
Several years ago I was blessed to photograph Kathy and Ryan’s wedding, and when Elsie and Duane gave me the opportunity to capture the entire clan (now that Tyson has joined his beautiful cousins), I was thrilled. Not only are Elsie and Duane incredible people who have raised three children and are now enjoying four grandkids, but they are a delight to work (and play) with as well. We recently met at a park in Douglas County to capture all three generations of the family. I had too many favorites to choose from, so I decided to showcase the grandchildren and grandparents in my blog so you can all see just how beautiful their family is. Of course, I also had to add one picture of Kathy, Ryan and Tyson!
