Kate, Lauren & Matthew at Silo Park

Kathy Daly — Wed, 09 May 2012 04:57:12 +0000

Followers of my blog know that I have been photographing Debbie and Brian and their three children for a couple of years now. And each session has been a great experience, but this last one was pure joy. The girls are now old enough to direct me where to go for their favorite shots, and big brother Matthew is simply delightful. I added some special effects to some of the photos just for fun as well. Thanks, Debbie and Brian, for letting me help document the growth of your children!

Jack Turns One!

I love shooting toddlers. (And infants. And families. And weddings. And…) But, seriously, toddlers are so much fun because they NEVER hold still. They are always looking for the next world to conquer, and sitting on mom or dad’s lap simply does not allow conquests. And Jack is the perfect example. From climbing the stairs to finding the Easter egg patch in the neighbors’ garden to running across the yard, Jack was so much fun to photograph. And seeing Bob and Cindy is an added bonus! Happy birthday, Jack!

As always, I love shooting birthdays with a favorite possession of the child’s parent. Here Jack models his dad’s baseball glove. I can’t wait to see what he does with it next year!

Emma & Bailey in Stapleton

When Candace contacted me about taking photos of her daughters, eight month old Bailey and four year old Emma, I was thrilled. I had shot Emma before and couldn’t wait to meet Bailey. Both girls were amazing, smiling the entire time (which is hard for adults over the course of an hour and a half, let alone two little ones!), and just owning the camera. Each personality shone through, and I’m so glad I was able to capture them at these ages. Following are just a few of my favorites.

Krishan & Nina in Stapleton

Kathy Daly — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 21:55:08 +0000

Once again, I was blessed to photograph the children of another student I taught in my previous career. Nisha was one of those incredible yearbook editors who made a difference not only for the book and the staff she worked with, but in my life as well. And to see her and Brennan interact with their adorable Nina and newborn Krishan is such a treat! Now that they have moved into my neighborhood (and once the snow melts and the weather warms up!), I hope to see lots more of all of them. Congratulations on your darling new addition!

Parent and Child

Kathy Daly — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 21:11:34 +0000

In the next week I am going to make up for lost time and blog about so many of the wonderful photo shoots I have done in the past several months while I was taking a blogging break. I have lots of excuses for not blogging regularly (a trip to Europe, finishing our cabin in the mountains, playing apps on my iPhone), but mostly I just needed some time to think about life. And death. And how much I cherish having the chance to photograph so many families and friends and life altering events.

And so, instead of blogging about individual photo shoots, I’ve put together a series of themes (my yearbook background just keeps asserting itself!) and pulled samples from my shoots of the past few months. The first one was going to be called “Mother and Child” because I cannot stop thinking about my beautiful daughter Janet and her husband Andrew whose baby was stillborn this past August. They are truly my heroes as they continue to heal over these past few months. But every time I capture a mom or a dad (which is why the title had to be expanded to include them as well!) in unguarded moments with their children, I can’t help but think of Janet and Andrew. I know they will someday be that mother and father; in the meantime, I would like to share just a few of my favorite candid shots.

These last two are extremely special to me. The first is of Karlyn and Nolan, my first grandson. The second is of Janet and Miller, my second grandson.

Kosta, Joanne & Sean

Kathy Daly — Sat, 02 Jul 2011 04:23:24 +0000

Kosta is Joanne and Sean’s miracle baby, as he was born three months prematurely weighing only two pounds, eight ounces. As you can see by the photos that follow, he is thriving! And watching Joanne and Sean with Konstantinos Ioannis (yes, it’s all Greek to me!) was the best part of the photo shoot. He was so happy and adorable the entire time that it was tempting to put down the camera and just hold him. And the other highlight was seeing Joanne again and meeting her wonderful husband. All in all, a great day!

Matthew, Lauren and Kate at Silo Park

Kathy Daly — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 21:10:38 +0000

I love photographing families. And Debbie and Brian have done such a great job with their three children, big brother Matthew and twins Lauren and Kate, that spending time with them is even more delightful. When I first shot them in the fall, the girls were a little shy; this time, we all explored the wetlands, the playground, the toolshed, and every inch of one of my new favorite locations, Silo Park. I think we captured every mood of this wonderful family; following is just a small sample. Enjoy!

Angelina Turns One!

Kathy Daly — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 22:15:15 +0000

I loved photographing Angelina and her parents, Marie and Nick, last winter, but had even more fun this time around as Angelina just turned one. She is such an adorable little girl, as you can tell by the photos that follow, and Marie and Nick were great about trying out different settings at a park in Stapleton. And Marie was nice enough to let me photograph Angelina a few days later in her grandmother’s coat, as each year Angelina can be documented growing into this special heirloom. I loved all the moods Angelina showed in this shoot, as you can see. Enjoy!

Happy First Birthday, Nolan!

Kathy Daly — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 17:28:59 +0000

There is nothing like that first bite of birthday cake. For Nolan’s first birthday, Karlyn and Chris invited friends and family to celebrate at their home and provided a cake just for Nolan. I’ll post lots more photos of the darling kiddos who attended the party, but for now, I just wanted to share a little of Nolan’s first taste of cake. Enjoy! (He certainly did!)

Hmmmm. What is this?

A boy and his birthday balloons. Life is good!!

Nicholas Turns Two

Kathy Daly — Sat, 21 May 2011 02:55:39 +0000

When Nicholas was born two years ago, I had the privilege of shooting his newborn photos. And this last photo shoot marks my fourth time capturing Nicholas and his parents, Melissa and Chip. I swear this beautiful baby has grown into one of the cutest two year olds I have ever seen. (Take a look at his parents, and it is easy to understand why.) But even better is how he warmed up during our photo session, allowing me to capture him in so many different moods: shy, sad, exuberant, cuddly, and thoughtful, to name just a few. For those of you who know my tradition of photographing birthdays with a special object, you’ll find it in Chip’s baseball glove. Thanks, Melissa and Chip, for allowing me to spend time with you and your “little man.” Following is just a small sample of photos from last Saturday’s shoot.
