A few more of my cute little guy...

Last Friday, my mom and Erica spent the day with me and the boys. During Xavier's naptime, we set up the black backdrop outside on the patio and here are a few of the photos! My dad came over to surprise us by cutting our grass for us...luckily we got inside before this little guy was covered in grass :) Thanks, Mom and Erica, for being great photo assistants (holding the diffuser...and oohing and aahing)

It is a "gift" that God has entrusted you with...you see through a lens, what is in the heart...and captured it for us to treasure for a lifetime!

You captured the bride, groom and so many who were at the wedding in such a beautiful and truly personal way. I can't tell you how many times I heard Sara say that she was so very glad that you took her pictures because you are truly gifted at what you do. As the groom's mom, I am so grateful to you, Rachel, for photographing our son's special day in such a wonderful and professional manner.

**Maternity Session Add-On - $150** If you are booking a newborn session, you can add on a 30-45 minute maternity newborn session. This includes at least 15 edited, high resolution photos on disc with copyright release to print. Most women like to schedule their maternity photos when they are 7-8 months pregnant.

Your photos will also be featured on my blog in a sneak peek and in an online, password-protected gallery where you can order professional prints or share with friends and family.

Session fee is due in full at the time of your session.

Professional prints in virtually any size are available. Specialty items such as storyboards, gallery mounts, cards, announcements, albums, standouts, and canvas gallery wraps are also available.

The Pass family

This is my final session to blog from Colorado! This cute family was another repeat client from about 2 months back. It was great to do an outside session with them! Carter was almost 6 months old and almost ready to sit up on his own...but we had to get a little creative...like propping him up on a tree! He looks a little confused on that one, huh? It was so much fun to get a chance to take his pictures again when he was a little older!




This is not a very traditional shot, or maybe one that you would frame, but I love the way Carter is looking at his parents here!
I think he looks so much like his daddy on this one!

Gabe and Heather--just a few more!

(Click on any of these to see them bigger!)

Worshiping together during their wedding

Their first kiss...ever!

For some reason, I really liked a vintage look with these wedding party pictures. (By the way, when you book a session/wedding with me, you receive the pictures in both color and black and white and sometimes other edited versions like these).





Bubbles!
God's blessings to Gabe and Heather as they begin their married life together!

The Fraser family

The Frasers are one of my repeat customers--and I love it when someone likes their photos enough to come back for more pictures! I photographed baby Ian just a month ago, and then got together with the whole family a couple of weeks ago! I loved the girls' white dresses and they were willing and beautiful models!
