the mccabes: newborn and family.

I adore this family. I've been photographing them for the past two years, and I was thrilled to have the chance to document the newest addition to the family, baby Claire. 

I loved watching Liam play and talk about how he wants "new golf clubs" for Christmas, Claire slept like a little angel the whole time, and Andrew and Katie are always so wonderful to be around. What a joy to be a very small part of such a wonderful family!

Thank you again McCabe family for choosing me. It is definitely an honor to be trusted with such sacred memories. I hope your holiday season is full of good sleep and grace as you navigate this new world affectionately known as "two under two." 

the powells: family.

The Powell family was just about as fun and sweet as they come. We met last Saturday afternoon, and I loved the chance to chat with Tamara and Aaron and let the kids run around. Sienna and John loved the sticks, logs, and ducks (a bit more than smiling on command), but I think we were successful either way! 

It was so wonderful for me to watch Tamara and Aaron play with their kids. You can tell they love them dearly and are creating such a happy childhood for them. What lucky kids they are! 

Thank you Powells for spending your afternoon with me. I love what we were able to capture together, and I hope you are able to cherish these photos for years to come.

the dougans: family.

The Dougans have been one of my most loyal families over the past few years. I've photographed them when Knox was the lone ranger son, and now baby Jay is on the move and in the mix. For this shoot, they brought their adorable pups too!

We spent a Sunday evening together at Red Rocks, hiking stairs and climbing rocks. The boys loved the chance to get a little dirty, and I think the dogs loved the space to run around a bit. 

Thank you Dougans for spending another year with me! I hope you will treasure these photos for years to come. 

the stocktons: family.

The Stocktons. What a great family! I adore Jenny as a friend, and the rest of her clan is just as fun, easy going, and hilarious as she is. We're going on 6 or so years of friendship, and it was wonderful to photograph their family for the second time (last year, Naomi was just a newborn).

We spent the afternoon walking around downtown Denver admiring the trains and enjoying the beautiful and warm weather (this city has yet to hear that winter is coming). Abe's personality is the best and Naomi let hers come through a few times. They were the perfect kids to photograph.

Thank you Stocktons for hanging out with me. Tell Abe he can be my sidekick any time.
