Sweet Addison

I photographed Terri and Mike's wedding in 2007, and now I've had the opportunity to photograph their sweet daughter. Addison is about 7 months and we caught her in the middle of a teething time. Nevertheless, we got some beautiful shots of her more serious side! To see more of our shoot, go here.

Liv-It Fit

I met Becky last weekend to get some shots for her new personal training business, Liv-it Fit, named after her daughter Olivia. Her philosophy is that we need to be strong enough to manage the various challenges of our lives. We depicted that in this beautiful shot of her lifting up the sweet ballerina, Olivia. If you live anywhere near her in Aurora, I would absolutely recommend getting involved in her inspiring training regimen!

Nalia

Nalia and her sister were another instance of 1-3 year olds doing exactly what they want during a shoot, and we still come away with some precious images. I cannot say every minute was easy breezy, but two very patient parents and adorable faces all around made this shoot a success. My favorite are the first and last, but they're all so adorable!

Evan and Ellie

Its spring, nearly summer, and as much as I'm looking forward to all the weddings this season, Im also looking forward to enjoying all the kiddos this year. Above all the subjects I photograph, they're the most real and honest of all. Lets face it, if you're between 1-3 years old (which both Ellie and Evan fall into) you're going to smile when you want to, laugh when you feel like it, fall as often as necessary (in mud preferrably) and be enticed by every thing in sight. And with parents as laid back as Nancy and Eric, there's no pressure to get the "perfect shot". We all agree, the best shot is the one that captures that little personality, on good days and bad.
This is just a taste of the day, but you can view the full gallery here.

Baby Month!

April is baby month around me, and it has been a joy catching photos of these little ones posted on facebook and family blogs. But this week, we got to meet little Jonathon Michael, less than a day after he entered this world. I brought my camera along to catch a few shots of proud new parents, Dan and Kate. Here are a few to share, including my favorites: Jonathon and his great-grandmother, and one of Kate’s mother stealing a proud glance at Kate, who looks on in awe at her son.
