Once Upon A Time...




I just love these first words to a story... I think it's because for me, really good stories usually started this way!  In July, I had the priviledge of photographing the sweet girl pictured above and I'm also lucky enough to call her my great niece!  Her session was so much fun and so precious... it also turned into an awesome new idea for children 4-10 years old called storybook sessions that include up to a full 2 hours of on location photography time, provided costumes and props to wear and play with...




...and the best part!!!...

... a 12x12 hard cover album that includes a one of a kind story custom and personalized to the child with all illustrations being the best images from the session!  





I did this for my niece and the reviews just from this precious girl were enough for me to want to do this for more children!  She loves her book and the only time she is quiet is when she is watching her slideshow of images set to music and transitions.  :)

Boys Will Be Boys!! - Senior Spotlight 2017

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!

On the sunnyside of the street... Abling Family

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 fun, challenging and rewardin

Becca and Gwen

With my all new Once Upon A Time storybook sessions and services, I wanted to try out a couple looks and costumes.  These two beautiful girls fit right into it perfectly!   Once Upon A Time sessions are for children 4-10.  Gwen is a sassy 9 year old that knows how to work the camera!  I just can't get enough of that sweet smile!!  As a princess, Gwen looked amazing in a crown! I have known Becca for almost 6 years now and she is certainly blossoming into quite the beauty inside and out!   Didn't I tell you this one is sassy?  Her mother had this idea for a pose... I think it's perfection!   It was in this costume that Gwen really let loose and started to have fun!   Becca couldn't believe I asked her to kiss the Frog Prince... but she did and looked beautiful doing it!!  What fun!!
