Event Photography, Aiden's First Birthday

Aiden's first birthday party was quite the exciting party, there was cake, fabulous Korean food, great people, wonderful little kiddos and an adorable Pug!  I really enjoyed the party, especially the Korean tradition of Doljabi (forgive me if that is wrong, I looked up the name on the internet).  It is where some items that represent various professions are placed in front of the child and whatever they pick is what they will become.  Aiden picked a microphone and toothbrush - there was lots of joking that he would be a singing dentist.  Having visited the dentist today, I had to giggle when the dentist came out to explain why he took 4 of my Aidan's teeth out, I half expected him to break out in song.  He didn't.  I guess he picked something else when he turned one.
 Look at the smiles and the cakes!  Mmmmmmm!  Cake!



 Aiden is very in tune with the dogs (obviously) and tends to play with other children like the dogs play with each other.  It is hard not to think it is adorable when he head butts other kids in play - he is only 1.  His mom says that he also rolls over on his back, shows his tummy and growls.  I hope she has that written down so that when he is older she remembers this adorableness!
 We did not allow the dogs to help with the cake, somehow I think it would have been a bigger mess.

 He hadn't quite realized that his hands may be more efficient...
 I give you the singing dentist!


 Pugs, smiles and really good food!

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.                                                 ...
