Family
i had such a great time photographing kim, chris, and their little guy william this last weekend at city park. william smiled and laughed the entire time, and i'm convinced he's one of the happiest toddlers i've ever met.
we made our way around the park together in the beautiful sunshine, and i am so happy i got the chance to meet this wonderful family.
enjoy some of my favorites from our afternoon together.
i first met nancy through my friend kari a couple of years ago when i got invited to a wonderful girls club where we shared a meal and products we were loving at the time. i've always thought nancy was so wonderful and had such a beautiful family, so i was thrilled when she asked me to take their family photos for this year.
i was extra thrilled when she said that they wanted to change it up and do something different. i knew that larimer street in rhino would be the perfect location because of it's interesting murals and urban feel.
so this saturday we headed out and explored together. their boys, charlie and emmett, loved searching for "treasures," so i frequently overheard things like, "don't pick up that broken glass," and "leave the rusty nail," and "put down that liquor bottle." it was truly city life at its finest.
i had a wonderful time spending the morning with the zuerchers, and i hope these photographs will be memories they can cherish for years to come.
ann, luke, baby sloan, and i met at crown hill park last thursday, and despite the intense wind, we had a wonderful time together.
sloan is completely adorable with an amazing fashion sense (i practically died when ann brought out her hat and jacket), and i couldn't get enough. oh, and when i saw the little rocking chair was going to be included in the photos, i totally lost it.
i feel so lucky to have the opportunity to photograph such amazing families, like the riches.
sloan is a beautiful little one year old with great parents, and i am so thankful to have spent a little time with them.
enjoy a few of my favorites from our afternoon together.
one year ago, i was holding noah and lila in the nicu. i watched the machines monitor their breathing and saw all the cords and tubes connected to their little bodies. they were so small and fragile, but they were little fighters too.
i think that's why it was so special for me to be able to photograph their first birthday. they are so strong and healthy now and have some of the most expressive little faces you've ever seen. their time in the nicu is only a small part of their story, and we are all so thankful.
we celebrated them on sunday with a safari themed party, burgers on the grill, a quick torrential rain storm, and a pretty epic first cake eating experience {lila wasn't exactly a fan}. sam and becky, their parents, are two of my favorite people, and I'm so glad i could be a part of the celebration.
enjoy!
