Family Portraits | Photographer Denver

My son and I recently hopped on board the California Zephyr (yes, the TRAIN!) from Denver to Chicago for a long overdue, low-scheduled, high quality-time visit with family!

One of the afternoons, after a dramatic, Lake Michigan-style storm rolled through, we gathered for a few rather impromptu portraits in my sister's garden. There's nothing quite like the soft light of overcast skies, combined with a bunch of people you love to create a memorable, beloved set of photos!

Here's to celebrating the ones we love!

Autumn Family Portraits { Family Photographer, Denver }

Within seconds of picking up my camera it was apparent exactly how accustomed this awesome family is to having their photos taken. What I loved most, though, was loosening them up after the "expected" photo, and watching them enjoy each other (and their pets!), and capturing them in more candid poses. And hello?! This family is just beyond beautiful in every way!!

I do honestly learn something new on every single shoot, and my favorite moments from this shoot were, as is often the case, the unscripted ones. So much of my best work happens, as Annie Liebovitz says, "in the moments in between the main moments."

Baby! | Newborn Photography Denver

It is so FLIPPING MUCH FUN to photograph a couple's wedding, then their maternity session... and then get to meet their amazing little newborn for more photos!!  This precious little guy has the sweetest disposition and was simply delightful to photograph -- and can you get over his HAIR?!

I love my job!!
