Last time I saw Joey, he was 3 months old.  Now he is 6 years old.

Wow.  I usually don’t get that much time between shoots :)  And now he has two fabulous little sisters, too.

A whole household of cute.

We took these photos at the family’s greenhouse, which was such a great idea.  It is so personal to them, and a lot more fun than a park.

Have a great weekend!

How adorable will these holiday cards be?

Playing in the snow and decorating the tree were Sarah’s ideas for their winter shoot last weekend.  Brilliant.  I love everything about it, but especially the purple snowsuit that Anna is sporting.  I’m not sure she can move in it, but it’s completely adorable.  And it kept her far dryer than the poor snow-covered kitty :)

Just a little time left to get your family portraits taken before the holidays.  Contact me if you want to fit in a session!

I have a special affinity for this little guy.  His mom was my college roommate at Mizzou, and is still one of my close friends.  She found out she was pregnant with this little guy the day before my wedding last year, which was the last time I saw her.  Last weekend I traveled three hours north of St. Louis to visit and meet her little guy, who is now 3 months old.

Bravo my friend, you have a cute bambino.  Graham is such a happy and chill baby.  This was just a quick portrait session we managed to fit in during my whirlwind trip to Illinois (I had to be back for a wedding in St. Louis and only stayed for about 12 hours!)  I love the one of him hugging the teddy bear – the bear was a souvenir from a college spring break trip to Disney World that his mom and I took.  So cute :)

Somehow, Summer disappeared.  John and I had been so looking forward to returning to warm, sunny Denver (after hanging out in freezing cold Yellowstone for a few days and sleeping in 28 degree weather.)  But the warm sunny weather seems to have left Denver, at least for the moment.  I wasn’t quite ready for this fall weather, but at least it has brought with it the return of the Pumpkin Spice Latte.  Not all bad.

Fortunately, we did this family shoot before I left town, when the weather was a bit warmer.  Although it was quite windy that day, and a huge thunderstorm loomed in the distance for the entire shoot.  Ah, Colorado weather.  Kris, Sabria and Kienna were all super patient with me as we waited for the wind to die down, and even the pups behaved pretty well when they had to wait for us.  I suppose the treats had something to do with that :)

Happy (rainy and cold) Wednesday!

Anna just started walking, and she still kinda looks like Frankenstein.  I love it.  She’s also easily distracted by puppies.  When we went to the park all she wanted to do was chase after the dogs that were running around playing fetch.  Fortunately, she’s not fast enough to catch them – yet.  Next time I see her I suspect she’ll be running at full force. :)
