Emma & Kaylee in Denver
One of the best aspects of multiple photo sessions with families that include young children is watching them grow into their distinct, amazing personalities. I began shooting Emma as a newborn and did the same for Kaylee when she was born just eleven months later, and I so enjoy just studying and following and capturing their moods. And watching Tonya and Josh parent these two darling girls with such love just warms my heart. Emma had a cold during this shoot, but that didn’t even begin to slow her down, and Kaylee was content just to be held (especially when she was wrapped in her bug blanket!). I can’t wait for the next photo shoot! (If any of you have been following their story, the yellow truck has appeared in almost every shoot; as a newborn Emma fit in the truck’s bed.)
And I just HAD to try out my new fish eye lens on a couple of shots!!
Our Australian Family
One of the highlights of our trip to Australia was reconnecting with our nephew Andrew and finally meeting Maddy and Sam and Max. We spent a perfect day at their home nestled in a Sydney suburb high on a hill and surrounded by trees and birds and huge insects. Andrew cooked up “snags on the barby” (I have no idea how to spell that one!) and we spent the day visiting and laughing and getting to know each other. (Maddy, not only are you a wonderful addition to the family, but you have raised two incredible, delightful sons.) I can’t wait to see you all again.
Smiling in Aurora
When Pam called to ask me to shoot an extended family portrait for J’s big birthday celebration, I was thrilled. And having known Kristine and Alison since they were toddlers, I had to keep checking my camera viewfinder as it captured not the girls I know so well, but two stunning young women. I know that Don and Char are extremely proud of their family; I think you will see why when you look at the pictures below. (Note: I promise to post some of my favorite photos from our New Zealand/Australia trip in the next few days; there are simply too many gorgeous ones to choose from!)
