We love that our job allows us to meet and remain friends with so many wonderful people.  One of the best things for us is to to watch as their families grow. This fall we seem to have had many new babies join us – which we absolutely LOVE! We love photographing another milestone in their family history, seeing our couples again and best of all cuddling a new baby.

Meet…. Miss Lily Joy. We were so fortunate to have photographed her parents wedding in 2009, so being able to meet the newest member of the family is a blessing. Such a cutie with her parents beautiful red hair. (A small cheer for another redhead in the world!) We look forward to watching Lily grow into an amazing and beautiful young lady.

Chelly is an actress from New York City, you may have seen her in a local Taco Bell commercial. This fall when she was in Denver visiting relatives she decided it was time to update her portfolio with new head shots. Here’s a selection of what’s she’ll be presenting producers and directors!

We love being in on secrets – especially when they involve our favorite couples! AnaLisa had planned a romantic weekend for their first anniversary beginning with photos of the two of them to celebrate their first year together. We met David and AnaLisa at Red Rocks to surprise him with a photo session for the two of them and ended the day with the final shoot at the little B&B where they spent their honeymoon. Which was also the beginning of their romantic anniversary weekend.

Congratulations you two! We hope next year is just as wonderful and brings you much happiness.

We love it when our couples contact us to say they are having a baby! Brandy and Danny were married two years ago up in Breckenridge. We had an instant connection with them they are so much fun and so relaxed to hang out with. When Brandy called to say she and Danny were expecting we were over joyed. We are now up to 6 month photos with little Sienna (maternity, newborn and 3 month photos all ready taken) After an hour and a half of shooting this girl was still all smiles and giggles! Can hardly wait to see her again!

Meet Troy! We shot his parents wedding several years ago. Last week we did family portraits for them at Hudson Gardens. Troy brought his trusty, bright blue camera with the big red “clicky” button so he could help us. This little man has a great personality, so much curiosity, an abundance of energy and really…. how do you resist those beautiful eyes!

One of the greatest things about our job is watching our couples become families. Justin and Mindy were married last summer and welcomed little Oliver into the family last month. Justin is completely wrapped around this little guys finger – total Daddy Love. He couldn’t take his eyes off of Oliver or Mindy. They are so comfortable being parents, very relaxed and easy going about the whole process. It was so nice to meet Oliver and see Mindy and Justin again.

I found this little suitcase with Oliver in mind.

We’ve gotten very far behind on our blog. Seems life, the flu and a host of other out of our normal day to day experiences had gotten the best of us. But all things have just about come full circle and we are now getting back on track. So to show you just one of the wonderful photography opportunities we’ve had lately – I give you Thomas at 10 days old. Thomas is adorable with massive amounts of hair and the most wonderful parents to grow up with. We look forward to watching Thomas grow into a handsome toddler. We can only imagine the joy he will bring his family,

We met Lisa and Aaron at Hudson Gardens a few days ago. This was the second time we’d tried to get their son Jack’s photos taken. The first time a wind storm screwed up our outdoor location and Jack decided he really didn’t need a nap that day. Tired babies don’t make for great photos. We rescheduled a second day at Hudson Gardens. This time the weather was great and Jack was well rested. An added bonus – with the cooler weather this summer the gardens are stunning.

Lisa and Aaron had worked with Jack to get him to smile for us but Jack is a very inquisitive boy. There was so much going on around him and Jack didn’t miss anything! He’s one smart little guy…. you could just see his mind at work. It wasn’t until the end of our shoot when we found the magic solution. What made Jack smile was to just lay there in the grass…. doesn’t that make everyone smile?

As many of you know, one of our interns, Jeanie, is in the hospital having suffered a closed-head injury. She tripped and fell down a flight of concrete steps during a party with some of her friends- just a simple freak accident. We’ve received lots of inquires about her situation, and I wanted to give everyone an update.

Jeanie is stable and her condition is slowly, slowly improving. The doctors are taking very slow steps to bring her out of her induced sedation- they’re just allowing her time to rest and recuperate between every procedure, every move they make, and allow her to heal herself as best as she can!

Thank you, everyone, for your continued thoughts and prayers- I know her family really appreciates it!

Jeanie and her niece, Elise.

I had one quick minute to finally sit down and go through photos from our shoot with little Jack and his family. I love “moments” photos. Jack’s grandma clearly adores him and you can see how much in this moment.

More later….  but I really wanted to post this sweet, sweet photo.
