Personal, Our wonderful trip to California

We were so lucky to go to California after the holidays and see family! It was wonderful to see everyone, hang out and not do much of anything. We did go to San Francisco one day and the kids had a blast!

Here are some of the kiddos on the Golden Gate Bridge. Aidan didn't make it all the way across... A big truck came across and shook the bridge a bit, we were about a quarter of the way across. Aidan took about 20 more steps and then he couldn't do it anymore, so he and I turned back and went to the car.

Makaela still doesn't like to have her picture taken.... not sure why, I tried not to over do picture taking when she was little... But perhaps, I did....

I got a Holga lens for Christmas and it is my new favorite toy! Here some of the images I took with it! I am so in love!

The kids swam a lot! The thing that was perhaps the best about this was that there was at least 1 kid from every family that was sick. So there were 2 from Colorado, 1 from California and 1 from either Texas or Tennessee (not positive on which state they found it in). So it was great to see them all swim in the pool together, mix up their sicknesses, dip in the hot tub to warm it all up and then they passed it off to the adults. Fun. I am still fighting their concoction. Most nights I sound like I smoked 5 packs of cigarettes that day and some days I sneeze so much I can barely breathe. I'm sure if they were in a science fair, they would have taken first place.

This is 1 branch of my nieces and nephews.

Here is another branch of nieces.

Here would be part of my branch. Part of our branch got left behind. I kept purchasing food for said child and I would look for him where ever we went. Some would say I was in denial. And I would perhaps have to agree with them. It is very hard to get used to not having 3 kids where ever we go. I wasn't quite prepared for just having 2 kiddos yet.

We were missing an entire branch, they had to leave the day before and we had meant to take a picture with all of them, but never got around to it.

Denver Family Portraits, Kalani and Todd

When Kalani called and said she wanted to do pictures at her house, I was so excited! I love doing pictures in people's homes! I worry about toddlers in their own homes, they tend to be a little too comfortable and sometimes don't listen, but this little guy was amazing! He was definitely the star of the show! If you can't tell by this image, he likes attention! And I just love how loved he is! It is very heartwarming! This little guy and his grandpa have this very special relationship, they can just look at each other and laughter commences. It is super extra special!

Fort Lupton Senior Pictures, Isaac

I was so excited to be doing another session with baseball! And then we got to the field - that is usually unlocked - and it was locked and the sprinklers were on. So that was slightly disappointing. We were still able to do a few on the outside, but I still wished we had been able to go inside and not get soaking wet! I love this one! This one was my silver lining to the gates being locked. I wouldn't have thought to do if we had been on the inside. It totally reminds me of endless summers and having fun! When I first arrived Isaac's mom told me how she found me and at first it all made sense... and then I was so confused. She said she found me on Zillow, at first that sounded perfectly reasonable. And then I thought, Zillow is a site for houses... I am sure my face went from pleased to confused... But thank you Zillow for listing my business name because otherwise she wouldn't have called. I love this one! Isaac has such a marvelous smile! And he is such a wonderf

Boulder Senior Pictures, Sonny

I did Sonny's sisters Senior Pictures last year, she has been friends with my son since kindergarten and I wasn't even thinking that Sonny would be next! And so close to his sister, I should have known, but I was still remembering him as a little middle schooler! When he got out of the car, I couldn't believe how tall he had gotten! All I could think was where was I last year?!?? And then I remembered, it was mostly inside and away from people. I am still like how did he grow up?? When we were in this spot there were a lot of people looking out over the point, I really wanted to do pictures here and I was hoping they would all clear out. And they did, just long enough for us to do some pictures before the next group came in. I love these! And I love that the sun was right where Sonny was! Sonny's sister did her pictures here and it was covered in snow and I had no idea how close we were to an edge that just dropped off like that (ahhhhh!) or that there was this be
