Denver Portrait Photography, Broddy and baby Paige

So as I try to muddle out of my turkey comma and get some work done...  I thought I'd start small and do some blogging.  As much as I didn't get what I really wanted out of this session, it was wonderful.  Broddy, being 2 and non-cooperative is very lucky to have such a marvelous mom!  He wasn't cooperating, and she talked to him in a calm voice, never lost it and just said well if we don't get him we'll get some of the baby.  I really appreciated that.  Mostly because he is a kid and could care less about what we were doing and he shouldn't be forced into doing it.  And secondly, she just saved Broddy from a life time of hating family pictures.
  I thought she was amazing, I'm pretty sure I would have been so frustrated and raising my voice - especially being sleep deprived.  So kuddos Julie!
 There were probably 3 minutes of sweetness and I should have brought out my super powerful 1,000 frames per second camera (I don't really have one, but sometimes it would be nice.)
  Canon please get on that!

 There was also some sharing going on!  Hopefully Paige likes Clifford.

 As tired as Paige seemed, she would not go to sleep.  I guess picture taking was just too exciting.


 I was trying out my wonderfully creative friend Sarah's black chalk board, I thought it was such a cute idea!  What I didn't plan on was that Broddy LOVES to color!  And he wanted to color on the board... and his sister.  Luckily it was chalk and not marker or I would have had a lot of photoshop work to do!
 Isn't she just adorable??  I thought for a brief moment, that I would like...  Well, I like to sleep, so I won't finish that.

 I so love this image!
 And this one too!
 And this one!  I may have to publish a book of feet...  Mmmmm...  Maybe a calendar?
 I would just like to say that these kind of images are my favorite!  I love photographing kids do what they do!  And Broddy was more than willing to show off his kitchen utensil collection.  I so loved it!
 If he grows up to be a chef, I sure hope this image hangs in his kitchen!


 We were hoping for one last moment of cooperation.... but when we asked him to look at mommy, he kind of did this sidewaysIcan'tseeyouanywhere look.  I do remember that look from my own kids....  Funny how that's universal to toddler's.

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...

Grace Senior Pictures, Boulder Co

  Sometimes the best things are worth the wait—and Grace’s senior session was definitely one of those moments. After rescheduling thanks to Colorado’s unpredictable rain (seriously, the rain wasn’t acting the way it’s supposed to!), we finally landed the most beautiful day . There was just the right amount of sparkle in the air—it was perfect. Grace is such a delightfully beautiful young lady, inside and out. Her energy is gentle but radiant, and from the moment she showed up, she was so excited to be in front of the camera. That kind of enthusiasm? It’s contagious—and honestly, I was just as excited as she was! We had a great time exploring by the creek, Chautauqua and the top of Flagstaff   Mountain and soaking in that golden light, and creating portraits that felt so her. And then…I brought out the mylar. 😄 I had this fun, artsy idea to play with reflections and light using sheets of mylar—something a little different, a little sparkly, and totally dreamy. Turns out...

Alex, Senior Pictures

  When I talked to Alex's mom, she said he really didn't want to do pictures and she thought the best thing to do was to do family pictures and then sneak some senior pictures in.  I don't usually do that, but I figured that she knew how he would be the most comfortable and what would be the most successful.    I am so glad that we did it this way, she was definitely right!  I hope Alex at least had a decent time, but I could tell that he was not really into it - maybe if I'd had another hour with him....  just kidding, I think that would have made him super anxious!  I just hope in the future he keeps allowing himself to be photographed for those he loves.  Because even though he didn't want to do it, he did a great job and didn't complain at all.                                                 ...
