I’m a little ashamed that it is the last day in February and I have not updated the blog!
The first few months of every year is usually pretty consumed by Boudoir (which I don’t post on my family site)
but I had the pleasure of mixing beautiful women with this handsome brand new baby boy.

Welcome to the world, Baby H!
It is so transparent how much you are loved.

 

I fuged a little again today. One of my favorite families called for a last minute session this afternoon before I had time to think up my daily photo.
I can’t ever say no, they’re just wonderful.

You’ve seen them all over my site, no doubt.

This photo just warmed my heart, all the elements of Christmas I could think of. Mother & Child, Newborn, Lights, Peace, and of course friendship.

Cause honestly, you’re pretty freakin’ special if I drive 30+ miles to your house in -5 degree weather for your family pics <3
Love you {MFam!}

My blog today is all about new life.
Because isn’t that truly the reason we celebrate on December 25th?

On December 1st, my beautiful niece (second born to my big brother)
Entered this world happy, healthy and loved.

Thanks to the snow storm that day, I wasn’t able to see her until yesterday.
Of course, I’m in love.

He won’t admit it yet, but I think my little man is too.

I had the pleasure of meeting this beautiful new family about a week ago.
I love photographing children, but this little guy stole my heart

Can you blame me?

 

Huge thanks again to this beautiful family who invited me to share a few minutes of their new life together.

It’s been a few years since I had seen the {OFam}

Thanks {OFam} for inviting me back.
It was so great to see you all again and catch up!

This is the story of Baby C!

And just a few of the NB pictures!

Thanks {MFam} for continuing to let me be such a huge part of your lives.
I’m looking forward to having some awesome baby & brother photos and new family photos next month!

Meet the {BFam}

They just welcomed a brand new baby girl into their family

who is absolutely adored by both her sisters

and of course, by her parents.

Thank you so much {BFam} for inviting me into your home to share the joy of your new addition!

The {BFam} is incredibly special to me.
In respect to their privacy, I won’t get into detail why exactly, but having the opportunity to meet and photograph their little miracle was an honor.

I don’t typically do most sessions in b&w and there are a ton of beautiful color photos from this session. It just happened my favorites were in B&W.

This little guy was also our very first visitor to The Studio (303)

 

 

Sleepy Bear

Thank you {BFam} for continuing to entrust me with your precious memories.
It is so wonderful to be a part of this little man’s entry into the world.

The last month has been an absolute roller coaster for me.
I promise to spare too many details…

In early June I took two back to back trips; the latter of the two was a trip out to California to photograph a beautiful simple beach wedding

Shortly after arriving home (very shortly…like, the next day) I photographed yet ANOTHER wedding

You would think, with all these weddings lately that I’m a wedding photographer. How deceiving I am!

No joke, only the week after we had our grand opening at our new studio.
Honest to goodness, I’m not sure how I haven’t fallen over yet.

The Studio 303 is our cute little spot in Downtown Castle Rock. All of my favorite places to shoot are nearby!
A lot of people have asked me if this means I’m “going back to studio work”

To answer everyone’s questions- no, I’m not “going back to studio work”. But, I do now have a dedicated space to show products, do sales (curse the horrible online shopping cart!!) and have a cake smash that the parents don’t need to clean out of their living room.

That being said, I still see the value in studio work and I know that for some clients it’s easier to come to me.
I had just as much fun getting this new adorable gerber baby inside of my studio and I was happy to accommodate.

Have I totally overwhelmed you yet?

I promise that the weddings, the cake cutie, the beautiful gerber baby and all of the oplove sessions I’ve done over the past month will get their own blog post.

In the middle of all of this chaos, I’ve been dealing with my own personal issues at home.
I want to say thank you to every friend, client and colleague who has reached out during our times of struggle.
I believe my business has led me to the most amazing people and kept me strong.

Thank you to all of you for your understanding, patience and love. I’m looking forward to a new month and lots of happiness.

 

I had the honor of being asked to come back and experience the joy of the B Family’s newest addition.

I could go on for days about how amazing these new parents are, how much love is in this home and especially what a little gerber baby this one is…but the pictures really do speak for themselves.

Thank you, B Family for allowing me to share in the pure joy of your new baby boy.
