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!

Sage's Senior Pictures, Boulder

 When I first showed up for Sage’s senior session, I just knew it was going to be something special. She was a little shy at first, but right away I could tell what a sweet and genuine young lady she is. And once she warmed up, she started to shine—it was such a joy to capture! The locations she chose were absolutely perfect, and they fit her so well. And then, as if the day knew how amazing Sage is, the sun came out just for her. It had been hiding behind the clouds for quite a while, but suddenly it burst through, lighting up her gorgeous hair and giving everything this beautiful, glowy warmth. It honestly felt magical, and I couldn’t have been more excited. Photographing Sage was such an honor. She’s kind, authentic, and absolutely radiant—I just adored every moment of her session! She has the greatest smile! I love these in the water!  It was such a beautiful day! I love this one!  It is just magical! Her and her brother are so cute! I love these in the grasses!...

Avery Senior Pictures, Denver Botanic Gardens

 Avery is one of my incredible Senior Influencers, and she totally rocked her session! From the very beginning, she was ready to go!  Every pose I put her in, she made look amazing — it made photographing her an absolute joy. We started at the Denver Botanic Gardens, which was the perfect backdrop for her session. Everywhere we turned there were stunning plants, colorful flowers, and hidden little corners. Avery looked so natural — it was like the gardens were showing off just for her! After exploring the gardens, we headed over to Cheesman Park to slow things down a bit. The vibe there was more relaxed, with gorgeous light. It gave us the perfect mix of elegance and laid-back charm, and Avery’s personality shone through every single shot.   This session was such a fun combination of vibrant and chill, and Avery made it all look effortless. I can’t wait to share more from her senior year as one of my Influencers—she’s truly a star in front of the camera! I just l...

Elli, Senior Pictures

  I was so excited for this session — my very first full Senior Session! These types of sessions are always my favorite!   It means I am getting back to work and there is always something so special about capturing a person right on the edge of everything new. And with Elli, I knew it was going to be a great one. From the moment we started planning, her energy and excitement made it clear: this was going to be one for the books. And it was — even with the weather throwing us a little curveball. About halfway through the session, the skies opened up and we had to pause for a solid 45 minutes. But honestly? Even that didn’t take away from how amazing the day was. The rain gave us a chance to slow down, laugh, and reset — and when we got going again, everything felt a little more magical - and the lighting post-rain? Gorgeous!   I was hoping for a rainbow, but sadly we missed that! Elli is such a joy to be around. She’s incredibly sweet, the kind of person who makes y...
