A dream is a wish your heart makes!

I was all about fulfilling wishes this past weekend with this sweet girl!  Larkin won a full storybook session after 300 of her Facebook fans voted on her picture taken by yours truly in a Princess Mini Session early September.

Oh, I can't wait to begin writing her special story and including images in it to complete her very own happily ever after!



I hid a prop nest in the crab apple tree we were shooting under and her Mom thought it was real with real eggs!  I meant to surprise Larkin and surprised her Mom instead.

8 arrows to represent 8 years... this little miss just had a birthday!



Her favorite character is Merida from Brave so this had to be done.. complete with wisps!



A play on snow white but with a bit more drama, suspense and adventure!  This was fun to imagine and play along with her as she walked through the dark woods!

 She loves horses and wishes for a horse of her own someday.  A real was not realistic (I mean come on) so we went with the smaller, less needy version and voila...happy girl!!



This was another request of Larkin.  What is more fun than dressing up like an American Indian.  She was pretty excited about getting her feet in that cool water too!


A true red head dressed like a viking!  I had to do it!!  She looked very cool and even got to hold and play with a new "stuffie".... yet another wish granted... more stuffies aka stuffed animals!


What could be better than snow on an 80 degree autumn day?  This was too fun and I think looked pretty awesome too!


Great shoot, sweet girl and wonderful Mom... couldn't have asked for a better experience this side of the camera...

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!

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!!
