Sweet Little One

I had the opportunity to photograph in studio the same sweet little baby girl I had photographed in her home last week, but this time her grandparents were in town visiting with her for the first time, so they came along for the session! It was just so sweet seeing them with their first grandchild. Here are some of the images from that session.

I had a great time this weekend photographing Kelsey and Joseph's wedding at the Mt. Vernon Event Center in Golden. It was a gorgeous day, the details were beautiful, and Joseph & Kelsey were just the cutest couple. I cried 3 different times during this wedding - When the girls were all crying as Kelsey was getting ready, during the father daughter dance (the song was 'Butterfly Kisses'), and when Joseph surprised his bride and sang "Grow Old with You" by Adam Sandler from the movie the Wedding Singer. That is one of my all time favorite movies, so when Joe broke out in song, it had me laughing and crying at the same time!! What a blast!! I was hard at work but definitely felt like I had attended a celebration! I practically danced my way home in the car! What an honor to be part of such a special day!

Love is in the details!

During the ceremony.

I love this shot taken just after they had put the rings on each other, but before the kiss!

Husband and Wife share a quiet moment.

Its tough to hide that excitement!!

It's official!

This was just **too** sweet when Joe serenaded Kelsey. For those of you that don't know the lyrics, check this out. But if you haven't, I think you really just need to check out the movie!

The First dance.

The father daughter dance really had me crying. It was BEAUTIFUL! (For those of you that don't know, my father passed away a few years ago, so this particular part of the wedding day is not only my personal favorite moment, but also always has me teary eyed!)

Beautiful Baby Girl

I photographed a beautiful baby girl yesterday. I swear she knew what she was doing posing for the camera with some of these! I had a hard time choosing my favorites, but here are some of them.


I love her little wink here! Such personality! :)




If you look closely here, you can see Mom and Little One in the reflection of this piece that mom made for baby's room.

Perfect day for a wedding!

We had a great time this weekend shooting Meg and Chris's wedding up at Lionscrest Manor in Lyons, Colorado. We had so much fun a few months ago doing their engagement session at Lakeside, and it was so great to watch them get married. I promised myself I wouldn't tear up, but when it came time for the first dance..well...I couldn't stop myself. It was so sweet. Here are some images from that beautiful day! I also had a hard time choosing only 5 images...so here are some extras!! :)

A moment of quiet before the ceremony.


The wind really kicked up and started playing with Meg's hair - I love these images.

I love the look in Chris's eyes as he looks at his beautiful bride during the ceremony!

Busy May

Well I have promised myself that I would post at least twice a month, and include images from my favorite couple of sessions from the past month. This month has just flown by so quickly I can't believe I last posted May 1st! I spent a bunch of this month on vacation, though, and you know vacation time *always* goes too fast!

One of my closest friends came up for my birthday earlier this month, and without the kids around we were able to take our time and take some photos of her!! Of course, these are some of my favorites from the past month!

Miss Broomfield

Yesterday we had a great time photographing Miss Broomfield 2008, Jamie Dukehart-Conti, who will be competing in the Miss Colorado pageant this June 22. I am proud to be a sponsor for Jamie, and we had a great time with all the different colors and fancy clothing and jewelry that she brought. What a beautiful young woman! We will be rooting for you, Jamie!

Sweet Love

We did an engagement session this weekend for a young couple whose wedding I will be photographing in June. Brendan goes to The School of Mines, so we did this down in Golden. I have to admit, as I was editing these images they brought tears to my eyes (anyone that knows me knows that isn't TOO hard to do) because the photos are so sweet and the love between them is clearly visible. Such a sweet couple!

One of the Highlights of my life

The past few weeks have been so busy for me both professionally and personally. One of the high points of my life occurred on April 22nd when one of my closest friends gave birth to her first baby. She and I have a history going back to 1994 when we met in college, and since then it's been no looking back. We have been though everything together including moving out to Colorado, my dad passing away, marriage and now her first baby!! I was lucky enough to share this event with her in the delivery room. She actually had a c-section and it was just amazing to be able to experience this with her, and also to capture this event that she 'kinda' remembers, but can now experience again through my images. I know this is alot, but here are a bunch of those images, all taken within a few hours of birth from our own personal collection of images.

This is me SO EXCITED before being let into the OR.

SURGERY! I couldn't take any images of the actual surgery, so this doesn't actually show anything.

The little guy's first photo!!
