Sweet Baby Boy, Jayden James

Image
Welcome to the World, Jayden!! As with all sessions I do, the photography design truly starts with a combination of observing personality traits, client requests, and choosing the overall tone of the backgrounds or surroundings. In this mini session, Jayden, his parents and I had fun playing with his first stuffed bear, his Daddy's love of the Philadelphia Eagles and adding a Star Wars theme to complement this little one's perseverance and strength. Jayden was born weighing 5lbs,7oz and definitely proves that LOVE comes in all sizes!!  He did so well with his photography debut (even when I changed his position, he remained patient and only told me to "stop it" a couple times :) He may be small now, but it won't be long before he catches up and he will begin to explore and learn all sorts of new things!  It will be so much fun to watch Facebook and see how this little boy develops and grows over the next year!! CONGRATULATIONS...

On the sunnyside of the street... Abling Family

Image
Meet Mark, Shaunna and little Theo!    I had the funnest time with this family trio!!  Shaunna requested a family portrait session for Mother's Day and we couldn't have done it on the a better day here in Colorado.  We met at Hudson Garden in the late afternoon (after Theo's nap) and he was such a charmer!  Theo found a new cuddle friend in the teddy bear I gave him while his parents enjoyed their time watching their little guy explore and taking in some beautiful warmth and sunshine! Little man, on the move! What's a garden without butterflies?! Can you spy the butterfly in the lilacs??  I don't know what Mark was saying but Theo and Shaunna thought it was amusing...  just look at those smiles!  Mark and Shaunna have a long history together (no pun intended...lol... they are both history teachers!)  Their story has taken them on many adventures together bringing them to one of the most ...

Boys Will Be Boys!! - Senior Spotlight 2017

Image
The only word that comes to mind when I think about Isiah's session is FUN !  I've known Isiah since he was little and boy has he grown up!   Isiah came all the way from Pueblo where he goes to Central High School and is quite the athlete.  He is looked up to by his friends and his parents couldn't be more proud of this superstar! The only stipulation to getting his pictures taken was that he could bring 2 of his closest friends... of course, I said "YES!" It was a beautiful fall day and we couldn't have asked for better scenery.  Isiah is quite outgoing and not very shy about anything!   When he isn't poking fun at his sisters, he is hanging with the guys.  Although, their sense of fun is a little different than what some might think!  Maybe we should have had second thoughts about getting all of them that close to the side of a canyon!  However, these 3 friends sure know how to show a girl a good time!   ...

2017 Senior Spotlight - Jmarie Portraits and Design

Image
See why I say.... "SENIOR'S ROCK!!"  Meet Brianna... Brianna is one of my Senior Models representing the 2017 graduating senior class and her high school - Castle View!  Brianna is an amazing, beautiful young lady who aspires to go to college after graduation this May and plans to major in Pre-Med. The day of her session, it was very windy and so our location changed from downtown Castle Rock to a dance studio her Mom got permission to use.  It turned out to be perfect for us!  Brianna brought several outfits and I transformed a corner of one of the vacant dance studios into a portrait studio!  We did venture outside for a bit where we had cover from the wind and as you can see, the camera absolutely loved Brianna!! As we got to know one another, she shared that when she was young she used to imagine herself as a veterinarian.  She loves animals and wanted a job where she was around them all the time.  Her favorite class is Human anatom...
