Fall Family Mini-sessions were a hit! {Parker, CO family photographer}

2010-10-07T17:17:00.000-07:00

I had the pleasure of getting to know 5 new families this weekend, during my Fall Family Mini-sessions at Hudson Gardens. We had a great time, and the weather was just perfect! The colors at Hudson Gardens right now are just wonderful! The flowers are still in bloom and the leaves are starting to change, so I really couldn't have asked for more. Here are a few of my favorites from this weekend.

Photoshoot Winner~Sneak Peek~ Parker|Denver family photographer

2010-09-24T21:39:00.000-07:00

A few weeks back you will remember I was giving away a 90 min photo session. I met this great family tonight at Hudson Gardens. We had a great time, and I couldn't get enough of their little girl! The camera just LOVED her.
Here are just a few from tonight.

Adorable baby "R"~ Parker, CO Newborn photographer

2010-09-18T16:31:00.000-07:00

I had a newborn session today with the sweetest little boy! He was so good, and just couldn't stop smiling :) I've never done a newborn shoot with a little boy, and I'm so used to having baby girls to dress up, with bows, and skirts, and wings. There was something so nice about the simplicity of taking pictures of just a baby....
Here are a couple of my favorites from today.

Mandy and Ryan Tie the knot~ Denver Wedding Photographer

2010-09-12T20:49:00.000-07:00

This weekend I had the honor of photographing a beautiful wedding in Montrose CO. Mandy and Ryan were such a humble couple. As the maid of honor put it in her speech "who knew that my sister would marry the farm boy down the road." I had such a great time and was so pleased that they choose me as their photographer! Here are just a few of my favorites, and I have so many more to go through so keep your eye out for more! I was also given the opportunity to photograph their Rehearsal Dinner, which was a "Cowboy Black Tie Affair" I will be posting some of those in a few days.

Mandy and Ryan were married at St. Mary Catholic church, this was how it was lit up at night. I thought it was just beautiful!

The girls got ready in the ladies locker room at the Bridges Country Club, the reception was also held there. It's a beautiful location!

The ceremony was a Catholic Mass, the inside of the church was beautiful with some amazing stained glass windows.

A tearful sister watches as her brother begins a new chapter in his life....

Ryan surprised Mandy with this great car as their ride from the church to the reception

We were given access to the entire golf course (and golf carts to boot). We were able to use this great shaded bridge, and it just added so much to the pictures.

Some beautiful bridesmaids

I had been wanting to catch a shot like this for so long, everyone in this group was a great sport!

After a few with the group, we were able to steal Mandy and Ryan away for a few of just them... My 3 favorites are below

Just a couple from the reception..

Stop Motion Video~Magic

2010-08-31T20:41:00.000-07:00

So I saw this video on The Maternal Lens yesterday, and I just LOVED it so much I had to create my own... I've wanted to do a stop motion video for a while now and thought this would be perfect. So Lilly and I set out with my new camera, and here is what we came up with....
The music is by a band called Rabbit, and the song is titled Magic. It can be downloaded on Amazon, and actually their entire album is great...

Oh yeah... I took about 800 pictures to make this, and below is one of my faves from the night.

***If the video shows up below as a red x, then watch for the faint yellow bar to pop up at the top of your screen... you may be asked to run and add-on to view it... it's totally safe I promise!

A BIG thank you!

2010-08-27T22:31:00.000-07:00

I want to send out a huge THANK YOU to Amanda Lamb of Lamb Photography for letting me tag along on a wedding shoot a few weeks ago. The Bride and Groom, Mike and Tina, were so welcoming. They were married at Crooked Willow Farms in Larkspur CO. This has got to be one of the most gorgeous places to get married in Colorado. They seem to have thought of it all.
I learned so much from Amanda, and I can't thank her enough for taking time out of her busy night to answer any questions I had.
Below are a few images I got from the wedding. As soon as her blog post is up I will link to it, but if you would like to check out more of her work, just click on her name above! the
Enjoy!!! I sure did, and can't wait to do more :)

Here are a few of my favorites from our shoot yesterday

Sneak Peek ~ Becky~ Parker | Denver Senior portraits

2010-08-11T21:14:00.000-07:00

Here is a sneak peek of a fun senior session I got to do tonight. I hadn't done a session with a girl in a while, and it was a refreshing burst of fun! Ok so it's a little more than a sneak peek... I kinda got carried away picking my favorites :)

I saved my very favorite for last! I just love this one.

"C" Family ~ Parker|Denver Familiy Photographer

2010-08-07T12:58:00.000-07:00

I've finally caught up on editing, and am excited to post a few more pics from this great family session!
This family was so much fun and they had the best little hidden spot picked out! They brought their really cool old truck!

Christie~ Back in the Dress Parker|Denver Photographer

2010-07-27T20:19:00.000-07:00

This beautiful bride has been married for about a year and a half. She didn't get all the pictures she wanted of her dress on her wedding day. She called me up and we decided it would be perfect to go out to a beautiful location and get some of the shots she wanted! Another plus was that she was married in the winter so these pictures had a totally different feel to them. She made a great model and had a blast in front of the camera. I posted a few of my favorites last night in her sneak peek if you want to check those out~!

This was the greatest barn! I just love this shot of her peeking out!

Her hubby was there and even got in on the action! What a great sport :)

Loved the cowboy hat! It was such a great touch, and added to the rustic feel.

So cute!

Sneak Peek~ Christie, Back in the Dress

2010-07-26T22:40:00.000-07:00

Did a Back in the Dress session tonight and had a blast! I have SO many favorites, it was hard to choose just a couple to put up for you all to have a glimpse....more to come in the next few days!

I just love this pictures of Hanna in her Great Grandmothers hat, and thought it would be the perfect entry. I processed it using Flora Bella's Milk and Honey Action.... I really love how it adds to the softness of the picture. I had a very hard time choosing which photo to enter, but if you like, you can see more pictures of beautiful Hanna by clicking here.

Parker|Denver Special Needs Photographer~ Hanna

2010-07-05T14:07:00.000-07:00

A few more.......

2010-06-27T22:06:00.000-07:00

Here are just a few more favorites from my session with Marcus. We were up bright and early this morning to get the rest of the shots. We had some great light!

Sneek Peek~Marcus {Parker/Denver Senior Portrait Photographer}

2010-06-26T21:44:00.000-07:00

Marcus will be a Senior at Ponderosa High School in the Fall. We started our session in Parker, with hopes of finishing up in Lone Tree. The lighting was great, due to the clouds, but needless to say we were rained out. So we are meeting up early in the morning to finish up his shoot... Marcus was great in front of the camera, and easy to shoot. Enjoy just a couple of my favorites!

This next one is probably one of my favorite shots I have ever taken. Marcus came up with the idea for the pose, so props to him!

Check back this week for more to come!

Parker | Denver Special Needs Photographer

2010-06-17T19:47:00.000-07:00

So one of my aspirations, is to specialize in photography for people, and families with children who have special needs. Being a Special Education teacher, this is something that is close to my heart. Often times families who have children with special needs are reluctant to get their pictures taken, because they are nervous about how the session will go. My goal is to make these family session just like any other family session.... So Jesi is a former student of mine who I spend time with during the summer. She and her family were nice enough to let me take some pictures of her today. They turned out great and we had a blast! So.... this is Jesi, one of my favorites ;)

Ms. Viki~ Parker / Denver Senior Picture Photographer

2010-06-16T22:43:00.000-07:00

OK, so this poor girl had been rescheduled with me 3 times due to our crazy Colorado weather! We were supposed to go tomorrow and when I heard about the 80 mph winds we are going to have, I called her up last minute to see if she could go today. She was game, thank goodness! We had such a blast, she is a natural in front of the camera! I went up all ready with my cheat sheet of poses, and turns out I didn't even use it! She knew just what to do. I can't believe how hard it is to pick my favorite few for a sneak peek, but here goes..... Enjoy

We found this awesome red door, a perfect place for Viki to do some modeling!

This is my favorite of the bunch!

Viki danced for a very long time, and it was a huge part of her life. I wanted to find a unique way to honor that. We also got some great shots full on in her shoes!

I seriously don't think it gets more "natural beauty" than this!

Just love the sparkle in this one!

I love my new chair!!! I was so glad to be able to use it today!

I have to tell you what a huge help Viki's mom was! I asked Viki to climb up this hill in her heels, and all of a sudden her mom swoops her up!

OK so that's a little more than a few, but it was so hard to choose!!!

Parker, Denver Newborn photographer.... Baby girl "E"

2010-06-14T13:08:00.000-07:00

I have been waiting to get pictures of this baby since January when she was still in her mom's belly! I did her parents maternity session (click to view post) back in April.

Baby "E" is just about the sweetest thing I have seen. She was so calm, and the perfect little model. We did these pictures in her home. Her mom has some great rustic looking furniture that lent itself well to this shoot.

Enjoy a couple of my favorites...

Denver Area ~ Children and Family Photographer

2010-05-31T19:43:00.000-07:00

My half sister is in town this weekend, and I had an opportunity to do an impromptu shoot with her, her husband, and their 10 month old son.... He is just adorable! These were taken in a field next to my parents house, and it's just so green and beautiful. Enjoy!

2010-05-24T18:29:00.000-07:00

Even though our first session had to be cancelled because of the horrible wind on Saturday, we managed to squeeze in a great session on Sunday. We headed over to the Botanic Gardens at Chatfield, and then over the Chatfield Reservoir! This family is beautiful, and so easy to work with. The kids were adorable and so well behaved! Just a dream.

Enjoy a few of my favorites, there are really to many to pick from!

I'm learning so much!

2010-05-04T19:43:00.000-07:00

I can't believe how much I'm learning! I have been spending a lot of time working with my photo shop program, and tonight I wanted to put my skills to the test. So.... I took my daughter out for a walk, snapped a few pics, put her to bed :) then spent a few hours editing. Here are the results. Enjoy! I'm also very excited that I booked my first senior portrait session today, along with two family sessions for the summer!

family

2010-05-03T18:01:00.000-07:00

I had some time to spend with my grandparents this weekend, and wanted to get some pictures of them. They are both in their upper 80's and go back and forth in their health. They have done so much for me, and I love them so much! I wanted to honor them in some way. So here are my Nana and Poppy....
