Jacob & Nathan

I had so much fun photographing Jacob & Nathan this afternoon! We did some portraits in the studio and then went to a lake that is a special place for their family. My friend Betsey told me tonight that she is passionate about relationships ( she is!)  and I think that I must be a bit, too, at least in my photogrpahy. My favorite images of siblings is usually of them looking at each other, laughing together, or some special captured moment.... true of my wedding and family portrait work also. The one of Jacob & Nathan with their arms around each other I just love, it's a classic brothers pose. I photograph men on their wedding day and they have a picture taken with their brother and this is what they do! Anyway, I had a lot of favorites from tonight's session and am posting a few here. Thanks, Jeannine & Dan for allowing me to photograph your boys again, they are wonderful!

Darcey & Brian

We photographed this wedding at  The Historic Crags Lodge in Estes Park on August 16th.  This was the weekend of the rain here in Colorado so Darcey and Brian moved the ceremony inside. It was the kind of day that makes you want to curl up with a hot cup of coffee .... or marry your best friend! The Crags Lodge has a nice cozy feel to it, there were fires in the fireplaces and the ceremony was lovely - the couple even wrote their own vows! An awesome Bluegrass band called Oakhurst was the highlight of the reception! It was really fun for us because we are friends with Brain and now Darcey, too. Thank you both for allowing us to be part of your wedding day! And speaking of friends ... can't post this without a "shout out" to Boogie & Mickie, our friends who introduced us to Brian. Sometimes I feel like we wouldn't have a wedding business without you! Let's see we did your wedding, Boogies brother's, Mickie's sister's, Boogie's best friend from growing up, now Brian's... one every year for the past 5 or 6 years I think. Thanks for always recommending us!

"Scoop"

We photographed Dave & Karen's wedding about four years ago - actually just Paul photographed it as I was on maternity leave with our son Luke - but today we got to meet their one year old son Ian. What a cutie patootie! I asked if he had a nickname and they said "Scoop", I love it!

Elaina & Kyra

We have been photographing Elaina since she was a baby and today we got to meet her new sister Kyra, too!  The girls did great! Elaina is the same age as our son Luke and I can't believe how fast they've grown. Thanks for bringing in your beautiful daughters, Laura - we always love to see you!

Lindsay & Ben

Paul had a lot of fun photographing this couple's engagement photos over the weekend! He knows Lindsay from his gigs at Johnson & Wales University when she was a culinary arts student. Lindsay & Ben were up for some fun shots and I think they look great!

kayaking

Here is a picture of Paul and Sophia kayaking on Turquoise Lake this weekend. The kids both loved it. Thanks to Oma and Papa loaning us their inflatable kayak we were able to all get on the water as a family. Wonderful! The kids weren't so sure about tent camping only because it got cold at night. Luke told me this morning he wants to go again where there is warm water ( for swimming) and warm camping ( :

Family Portraits

Paul and I met the Sherr Family on Saturday morning at Red Rocks for their family portraits. It was a beautiful morning and this kind of shoot always makes me so thankful for my job - I get to go to beautiful Colorado locations and photograph great people!  Thanks Sherr Family for making this so easy - you guys were great!
