Ice Castle, Silverthorne

We went to the Ice Castle in Silverthorne this weekend, it was one of the greatest days I've had in a long time!  We took our old foreign exchange student - perhaps I will stray from this story for just a bit to explain why she is "old".  We had a foreign exchange student, Michelle.  She and our son Nick decided to date...  Not a great idea in the eyes of the foundation that brought her here, so she had to go live in another home.  It was a very hard time for all of us, especially Makaela and Aidan (they were really too young to understand why.)  I really wish it could have been a different way, it is very hard to see her in another home doing the things we planned on doing with her.  We do try to spend time with her, but it has been hard between our schedule and her new families schedule.  So, that is why she is our "old" foreign exchange student.
 This is Michelle (on the left) and her friend Sophie (on the right), aren't they so cute???

 Makaela took this shot and I think it is fabulous!

 There are a few things that I find I love to photograph, things I never thought about photographing until I do.  One of these things is candy apples.  I LOVE to photograph them!  They are so colorful, creative and yummy looking.  The funny things is I haven't eaten a candy apple since I was a kid.  I had promised Makaela one before she got braces, but then we couldn't find any and now she can't have one - so sad!  I may just change my focus and open a candy apple photography studio...  Yeah, probably not....  It sure would be different though.

Tanner's Senior Pictures, Boulder

This young man! He is fantastic! I loved that he knew what he wanted and we were able to find some marvelous spots!  Look at those colors!  They were so amazing!   I did Tanner's  sisters senior pictures  a few years ago and these two are just wonderful kids!  I really love working with their family!  They are just wonderful people! I love this one! I just love this one of these two! We were done and on the way back to the car when I saw the sky and I was I like we have to do more!  I ran to my car, got a light and we did a few more pictures! I love this one! I absolutely love this shirt!  It is so awesome!

Cecilia, Andrew and their adorable children. Oh and a few alpacas. Franktown, Co

Photographing with alpacas has been sooooo much fun! They are just adorable, sweet and have the cutest faces! And this family made it so much more enjoyable! These kids are downright adorable! And full of such personality - I was in love!   These kids!  Their reactions to the alpacas were just adorable!  There's a video on instagram about it too, I encourage you to go check it out!  So cute! Those sweaters!  They were so cute!  Hopefully they were warm because it was cold that day!  And out in the field with all the snow was so much cooler!  But those kids were amazing leaving their jackets off while we took pictures!  I personally would have frozen and just fallen over without my jacket! I love LOVE this light!  If the kids hadn't been warmly bundled in a wagon, I would have thrown them in to the image too, but to make them get out in the cold was a little cruel.   For more information on High School Seniors, Portraits and Weddings...

Tim and Rachel, Hudson Gardens

Tim and Rachael come highly recommended from the people who them to me. I always love these cross connections to people and then I get to see them through their friends eyes. I have always adored the people who gave Tim the recommendation and then hearing him and his kids talk about them made me more fond of them. Photography really is a special gift to everyone, including the photographer! Tim and Rachel showed up a little early to do just their pictures and it was a good they did!  By the time the grandkids arrived, there was craziness all around!  I love how these two care about each other!  It was so apparent in how they were with each other and that just makes me so happy! Uhhhhhh.... trying to get 2 cousins who adore each other in movement is not an easy thing to get them to sit!  From the beginning to the end of attempting to capture these 3 together, it was 3 minutes and that included some rearranging.  For adults that's fast, but for toddlers that's an ...
