The Finegan Family

I was so excited to get to take pictures for the Finegan family again this year! The last time I took their pictures I was wobbling around -- just a couple weeks away from having a baby. This year's session was much easier! :) We met on a really cold morning up in Longmont, and I loved that there was snow on the ground for the pictures. They came prepared with hot cocoa and coffee, which helped them all stay warm (even when they were taking pictures without their coats on), and the girls were really good sports in the cold.

Susie and Steve, I hope you guys enjoy your sneak peak -- I loved getting to walk around and catch up with you again!

The Byrne Family

This was such a FUN session! I have to admit, I was a little intimidated for this photo shoot because I was taking pictures for a friend and amazing photographer. Lea Ann did my family's portraits this fall, so I was honored that she asked me to take some for her, as well! We met in Longmont at Lone Hawk Farms, which, if you haven't been there before, is an incredible place to visit. I loved getting to spend the evening with Lea Ann and her family -- the weather was just perfect, there was still some color on the trees, and seriously -- is their son not the absolute cutest? I'm sure he could get away with just about anything with those blue eyes and that sweet smile! :) 

Thanks for letting me take pictures for you, Lea Ann -- I hope you guys like your sneak peak!

The Wallace Family

Last weekend I had the privilege to photograph the Wallace family. We met at Chautauqua Park in Boulder, and I had a great time following their two-year-old Kai around. He is such a sweetheart, and I loved watching how much fun he had snuggling up with his mom and dad!

The clouds weren't really cooperating with us, but the temperature wasn't too bad and it made for a cozy afternoon. It always amazes me how different Chautauqua Park looks with the different weather. I've done photo shoots there in every type of weather, from bright summer evenings to snowy winter mornings, and it is just as beautiful every time.

Thank you, Kristin and Glenn, for making the trip to Boulder and letting me take pictures for you guys. I hope you enjoy your sneak peak!

Beautiful Brielle, 5 days new

What a treat it was to get to meet sweet little Brielle! Brielle was born into a family that is very special to me -- I have had the privilege to photograph both of her big brothers as newborns, and I have gotten to do a couple family shoots for them, as well. In fact, her oldest brother Jack was the very first baby on this blog! Now a girl has joined the Morris family, and I was thrilled that they asked me to do her newborn pictures, as well. They are always so much fun to photograph, and I think we have as much fun visiting as we do taking pictures! It was so cute to see the boys with their new little sister, too -- you can tell that they are naturals. It was just about the sweetest thing ever to see Jack holding her in his lap, examining her hand and giving her kisses. If that doesn't melt your heart then I can't imagine what would!

Thank you, Erika and Kyle, for letting me be a part of so many special moments for your family -- Brielle is one lucky little girl! :)

I can't get over how much she looks like her big brother in this one on her mom's lap -- I took a picture of Jack with the exact same expression! :)

Tiny little Asha, 2 weeks old

When little Asha decided to make her appearance into the world, she was a little earlier than everyone expected. Luckily, her mom and dad made it to the hospital in time, and Asha came bouncing in at 4 pounds, 11 ounces. She's a tough little girl, though, so after a little time in the NICU, she came home and is now doing great. I was so excited get to spend the morning with her -- she is the smallest baby I've gotten to take pictures of and she is SO sweet! I also got to spend a little special time with Jordan, her big sister, while Asha took a little break. Jordan is so funny -- she just turned 2 and she's a total little monkey, playing around on her bed and her rocking chair and just giggling away the morning. 

Asha is one lucky little girl to have such a sweet big sister and amazing parents! Congrats Ruben and Melanie -- you guys have a beautiful family! :)
