This shoot was one of my favorites - for obvious reasons.:) This girl turned 2! I love her to pieces. She is so full of energy and spunk. 

Here are some of my favorites:

Love this family. 
Shooting them was so much fun. They are a beautiful family and they were so relaxed and were so easy to shoot. 

Photography Tip: If you are shooting a baby that can't sit up yet, have them lie down and shoot from above.

I had the privileged of shooting our neighbors down the street. He is a fireman here in Fort Collins. One of our very first interactions with this family was when he let my boys shoot the fire hose off his fire engine. From then on, he has earned the spot of "cool guy" in my boys eyes.:)

They are a beautiful family and it was a easy shoot. 

I have found a favorite spot to shoot lately - the Tiny Forest right behind our house. 

I also noticed lately that the color pink shoots really well.

I love this family. I have shot this family for many years in a row. Not only are they a beautiful family to shoot, they are our dear dear friends and they are like family to us. 

This year we decided to take advantage of "wide open spaces" and was able to take advantage of the sun setting.

It was a fun shoot (like always).


 I sure love LOVE this family.

The more I do Senior Pictures, the more I enjoy them. This girl was a dream to shoot. She was super photogenic and there was not any touch ups on any of the photos. She was up for any pose, any location and just wanted to have fun. 

She chose to shoot in Old Town and we found some fun spots. 

Photography Tip - Get the sun behind the subject. It allows for some great sun spots.

I had the privledge of shooting this sweet baby boy. 2 years ago this mother lost a baby boy right after delivery. This was a sensitive and emotional photo shoot, but we could all feel the love in this amazing family and the strength they have and the joy they have with this new addition to the family.

Photography Tip: I have been told that the best time to shoot a newborn is within the first 9 days.

The arrival of this sweet baby girl was so joyful and such a relief after a hard pregnancy and trials that were sent this family's way. It was my honor and joy to shoot this sweet baby girl and my beautiful friend.

We just shot in baby girl's room - the natural light from the window was perfection.

Easy Photography Tip - Find the biggest window in your house - open the blinds/drapes and shoot right by the window - afternoon window light is the best.
