Boulder, CO Engagement photographer, Susie + Tom

Almost every afternoon, we have a thunder storm and this day was no exception. Susie, Tom, and I met on Pearl, Street to take their engagement portraits last week and we had about an hour of sunshine before the rain, thunder, and rainbow. Good thing for weather proof cameras because mine definitely got wet playing in the rain.

Thanks to The Face Lab for helping Susie with her make-up before the engagement session. She looked beautiful.

Can’t wait for your October wedding at the Oxford Hotel in Denver, CO. Looking forward to all the details you are planning and one being the invitations with Bird Dog Press. It is going to be amazing.

Thanks for playing in the rain!

Brian and Stacy own Dish, a delicious spot for breakfast or lunch on Pearl Street in Boulder, Colorado. It is yummy! Besides having a fabulous restaurant, they also have the cutest little boy, Toby, and Penny the puppy. We spent the early evening playing outside and exploring the open spaces of Boulder.

Thanks for taking the time to play with me outside and capture your family this summer!

Boulder Baby Photography, Colorado | Violet

10 days old and Violet did not want to miss a thing during the photo shoot. Most little ones with a full belly will sleep most of the session allowing me to play. However, Violet was awake the entire session despite our many attempts to have her sleep. I loved her company and she was just about the sweetest little pea.

Mom and dad are also the proud parents of Lillabee, an amazing allergy friendly baking products. If you want to taste their goodies, stop by and say hi on Saturdays at the Boulder Farmer’s Market.

A fabulous place for a kid birthday party is Clementine Studio in Boulder, CO. Glitter, glue, paints, beads, are just a few of the fun projects for the kids to do during the party. I would highly recommend it.

Mariah, 37 weeks |Denver, Co Maternity Photographer

I love it when a good friend asks me to photograph them. Mariah and Derek are some of my first friends in Colorado and they are expecting a little girl in just a few weeks. Our plans changed a little bit due to an afternoon thunderstorm and ate dinner first at Protos, my favorite.

After a delicious pizza, we headed out to capture their expanding family. Linus and Jasper were all too curious to what was going on with their parents.

If I can recommend one thing to do before the baby arrives, it is spoil yourself. Go out to dinner, get your toes painted, and see lots of movies!

Keep me posted! I can’t wait to meet her. Hugs.

Beckett, 10 weeks | Longmont, Colorado baby photography

Last November, I photographed Keira and Joe’s intimate wedding at Dunton Hot Springs where I met Kristin and Matt. Five months pregnant, Kristin was very excited to meet this little guy who was due in April. Beckett arrived on 4-20-2010 and he has to be one of the sweetest little ones ever. There were no clothes involved in this shoot as we wanted to capture the beauty of his little baby body. This was one of those shoots where I could have stayed all day and made pictures.

Kristin + Tim | Broomfield, CO Wedding Photographer

Kristin and Tim invited me to Standley Lake in Westminster for their engagement shoot. We had a blast wading through the tall grass and exploring the nooks of the park this morning before it got too hot.

A photo session is a two way street. As the photographer, I can art direct, pose, and encourage to a point and then the rest is up to you. You have to be willing to climb, bush wack, explore, and play to get the good shots. These guys did exactly this. There was a lot of bush wacking through the fields at Standley Lake at 8:30 am this morning with only big smiles on their faces. Thanks for being such good sports! Can’t wait for your September wedding at the Boulder Country Club.

How many chocolate chips does it take? | Boulder baby photographer, Boulder, Colorado

juliav — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 03:06:47 +0000

Obviously, it took six chocolate chips to convince my 3 year old to allow me to make some pictures of her in this fabulous get-up. Who can beat ballerina pjs, a happy new year diamond crown, pink rubber kitty boots, and red popsicle stained lips at 8:30pm on a Friday night? Not me!
