Some thoughts

 
I have a favorite photographer in Ireland (Rinkadink Studios) and this morning she posted a picture of herself with her son.  She talks about how she wasn't loving her hair that day and how she felt fat - but she says that all the smiles and happiness make up for all that. I have been thinking about this all summer! I have blogged about it before, but I think it is wonderful coming from a photographer from a picture she was in! I have had so many mom's tell me they will book a session when they have lost that last 5 pounds, they never have. Your kids are only this age once and if you wait until you have lost such and such weight, your kids will have moved on (because that's what the little buggers do!) I have a few mom's that know this and I celebrate them to the moon and back! Even though they are uncomfortable, they know that this is important to do now! These times - whether it be babyhood, toddlerhood, that big middle kidhood or teenagehood, these times are not permanent and will be gone as quick as you make dinner. When your kids are losing teeth and there's that gaggle toothed smile - it will be gone in a month and when you see that picture you took at the zoo wishing they had more teeth years from now, you will wish you had taken more. Because it is adorable! And if you happen to be in that picture, your heart will melt. And you will wish you had taken more. Because it is adorable!
 
Janine, from Rinkadink, said it best, "Give your kid the gift of the happiest moment with his mum, to make him feel safe and secure and LOVED every time he sees it. Get in the damn pictures!!"
 
And so, I share a few of me and my kiddos (and one with my marvelous husband, the photo bomber.)  I could point out all the things I don't like.  Instead,  I will say that I love my kiddos and am glad I have these pictures!

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 ...
