the rubys: 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. 

josh and kalyn: engagement.

josh and kalyn just might be the sweetest couple out there. they have midwestern roots and hearts of gold, and i feel so lucky to have been the one to capture their love.

we first met josh and kalyn at church a few years ago and have loved getting to know them more over the years. kalyn is a nurse and josh is an editor/writer (read his blog here), and when my husband and i were talking about them after our session last weekend, we decided they are 
"the good ones." they love each other well, are so easy to spend time with, and always have the sweetest smiles on their faces. oh, and it helps that josh and nick can talk about football for hours.

we spent the evening together at city park and confluence park in the company of the changing fall leaves. we ended the evening with pizza downtown, and i couldn't have asked for a better session.

these two are planning their wedding for the end of june at a beautiful spot in evergreen, and i have no doubt that it will be absolutely gorgeous.

the zuerchers: family.

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.

baby sloan: family.

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.
