Newborn and Baby Photography

I photographed Baby J almost 3 months ago.  He was brand new and did not want to sleep for his newborn pictures.  He was obviously tired, but surely didn't want to miss a minute of his first photo shoot.

Last week, I photographed this sweet baby again for his 3 month pictures, and we couldn't get him to stay awake.  Go figure.  Although, I was lucky enough to grab a few shots of his charming smile before he closed his eyes.

Have a wonderful day!

Camping ... Episode #1

We had a great time camping on our land near Walsenburg, CO over Fourth of July weekend.  It was really hot ... and there was a fire ban in the area due to dry conditions (which meant no s'mores ... why else do you go camping???), but we had a lot of fun together ... hiking, swimming, camping, biking and enjoying being together.

The ranch sits at the base of the Sangre De Cristo Mountain range.  The Spanish Peaks overlook the property ... absolutely gorgeous.

Hiking around the ranch ...

More to come tomorrow.  Thanks for stopping by.

Denver Children's Photography

Such a beautiful dancer.  This little girl LOVES, LOVES, LOVES her mommy.  I do too, she's been a dear friend of mine for many, many years.

This next series is really sweet.  She completely fell in love with my assistant (aka "Lucas", my younger son).  I have to say she has great taste.  Don't you just love the compassion and interest she shows?  Maybe she'll go into psychology ...

Cherry Creek High School Senior Pictures

 This girl is beautiful and was so much fun to photograph.  Pictures taken at Sterne Park in Littleton and Foxridge Pool in Centennial.  It's always fun to do swimming pictures!  Great memories.

Second Wind Fund Ambassadors - Denver Teen Pictures

I had the BEST time working with this amazing group of teenagers.  They are ambassadors for the Second Wind Fund of Metro Denver.  They have been trained to speak to the media and educate the public about teen suicide and all of the issues surrounding it.  They are volunteering their time for such an important cause ... and as you can see in the photos, they have a lot of fun too.

my philosophy and values ...

I love ...

the sweet, wholesome and genuine spirits of all children

family connections that nobody else understands

the art of photography

photographing the pure souls of children and adults with special needs

being creative

that I cared for children as a pediatric RN for 15 years

... most of all, my family

I know ...

that children grow too fast and that soon all we will have left are memories

photography is a passion that comes from my heart

every person and family has a unique personality and story

that children are the true treasures in life

I promise to ...

preserve the memories you have of your family at this particular time

be sensitive and to honor the needs of your children and family

tell the story of your family through pictures highlighting the connections that you share 

create timeless images that touch your heart ... now and forever

I believe ...

photography is the art of expression

in being dedicated to my community

I am meant to do this for a reason
