Baby Ellis was born to fantastic parents. I've known Justin and Elizabeth for a few years, ever since they purchased the home my husband and I spent a decade remodeling, located in a neighborhood that we love and still return to so we can visit with old friends. We brought home our first two babies to this house, and our first memories as a family are here.

Here is one of those families that is just as sweet and joyful and loving in real life as they appear in these photographs. It truly was a session of twirling, whirling, laughter and dancing.

There once were two amazing photographers who lived in Colorado with their son. Then they moved on to Boston, and everyone they left behind missed them a great deal. To my dear friend, Jamie, I miss you. Thank you for all your help, critique and encouragement. And thank you for letting me capture your last moments here.
We just wish you were still down the road.

Two of the most insightful and unique thirteen year olds out there. Here are Kenny and Helen on the day they have been preparing for.
A special thank you to the family for allowing me to capture this special day for them, and to Rabbi Evette of B'nai Havurah for helping me be in the right place at the right time.

This family of five becomes seven. Andy and Monica brought home their son and daughter today to Colorado. Here at the Denver International Airport, brothers and sisters finally meet one another for the first time.
Callum is one and I can't believe I've been taking his photos for an entire year. It has been such a treat to watch him grow and watch his parents just dote on him. It is obvious from the get-go just how much this little guy is loved and is the center of their worlds. I have been friends with these two since long before Callum came in to their lives, and I'm honored to have been asked to document, and be a part of, this time in their lives.
Two gorgeous little girls. Their eyes are striking and their hair blows so perfectly in the wind. To date, this was my most difficult session to edit since I captured so many amazing moments with this loving, and truly happy family. Every movement from these sisters was so sweet and fun and beautiful.
This month's Project 12 theme is Fire. My natural response was to capture the 4th of July events. It was pretty low key, but oftentimes the small things make the biggest impact. We roasted marshmallows in a makeshift fire pit, and lit the sparklers that Grandma brought. We drove down the road, parked, and watched fireworks from a distance, and then the kids slept in a tent for the first time ever. As I was thinking about fireworks and the 4th of July, I was surprised that I have so many memories of this event throughout the years. I grew up in Bay City, Michigan, which boasts one of the most spectacular fireworks events in the country. Every year was special. I can remember watching the fireworks from a boat docked at the marina, in a dingy out in the river, on a picnic blanket in a park, and even the time that I refused to go with my parents and sat on the roof of my house and watched what I could through trees. There's a void of 4th of July memories through my twenties. Now I have children, and this time is significant again. I remember the brilliance and excitement of running with a sparkler, and how special it is to roast marshmallows. Everything is momentous through a child's eye, and I'm blessed to be able to see again.
I told my son this morning that someday he and his sister would be bigger than his Daddy and me. He said to me, "I miss myself already. I miss my body." I just smiled at him, constantly amazed at the extraordinary things he says.
So I try to catch the light because life moves too fast.
