Ken Caryl, Colorado

One of my favorite mamas with all of her fantastic boys!

Callum is One

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.

Emerson & Zoe

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.

Ben

Baby Ben has no idea yet just how much joy he brings to his family.  His big sister has been waiting a very long time for a little sibling to take care of.  His adoring parents couldn't be happier.   I hope the images convey just how warm, loving, and peaceful this new beginning is.

Rosalie

Gorgeous Rosalie with her remarkable blue eyes!  I am so fortunate to have spent Christmas with my extended family...twenty-one adults, four young kids, and this beautiful new addition.  This was my first opportunity to meet my cousin's daughter.  She's as stunning as her mother and has her father's to-die-for long lashes.  Now, if we find out that she also inherited their personalities...watch out world!

A Twelve Month Retrospective

I love all the images I've posted of the families I've worked with in 2012.  When I'm not photographing for others, I am blessed to be with my incredible husband and kids. I started this entry trying to choose one photo to represent each month, but after some editing, I decided that I was being very unreasonable with myself.  I looked back at this last year of documenting my children's lives and I'm thrilled with what I have, however, my New Year's resolution is to capture more of the small everyday moments in life.  I struggle with the balance of making sure I have this visual memory of them, but also wanting to be present and be participating in the current adventure.  Well, I have an entire year ahead of me to practice!  It's amazing to look back and see how we've grown.  A fascination with firemen and playing in boxes has been replaced by a love of everything superhero and fairy princess.  They may be fighting evil doers, but one thing has stayed the same - their excitement for cupcakes!  I thoroughly enjoyed my 2012 and I am excited for the adventures of 2013.
