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 :)

Miss K has the best shoes.  Tall black heels, purple pumps, cowboy boots – what else could you ask for?  Apparently she’s got quite the collection at home.  I envy her ability to walk in these heels (I look like a robot.)

Happy Friday!

I always get a tad nervous anytime I blog about boudoir.  I spend hours analyzing whether something is to risque to be posted.  Those of you who have done a session with me know I don’t do much that could really be considered risque, but I’m super paranoid anyway.  The last thing I want is for the person in the photo to feel uncomfortable, or someone visiting my blog to get the wrong idea.

This shot with the cowboy hat makes me nervous.  It’s a great shot, and not really that revealing (imagine she’s wearing a bikini – not too different.)  So I opted to post it.  I hope I’m not offending anyone’s delicate sensibilities :)

Thank you to Miss W for letting me share some of her photos!

Sexy Little Bride indeed.  Just a few shots from Miss M’s session last weekend.  Keeping it under wraps until her groom to be gets to see.

More boudoir sessions to follow!

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!

The class of 2012 has already started their senior year of high school.  (I refuse to let that make me feel old.)  Jake and Damian are friends who go to school together at Chatfield High School.  They weren’t too thrilled about having their senior photos taken (boys rarely are), but were nothing but cooperative during the process.  It helped that we could do their sessions together so they each had some moral support when I made them pose in weird places :)

Best of luck to these guys for the upcoming school year!

How beautiful are fake eyelashes?

I know they are an enormous pain to wear (and make you feel like Betty Boop or something), but they photograph amazingly.  Anyone doing boudoir should absolutely splurge for them.

Miss S’s friends chipped in to give her a boudoir shoot as a gift before her wedding. What nice friends :)  Just a couple from her shoot, keeping her identity under wraps just in case.  I hope her wedding goes off without a hitch next month!

Mrs. M was working the sexy secretary angle.  I think she nailed it.

It took a lot of scheduling for us to make this shoot happen, and I’m so glad we finally got it together.  Many thanks to Mrs. M for letting me post some photos from her shoot at The Magnolia Hotel.  She did an amazing job and we had a fantastic time.  I hope the gift for her hubby goes over well!
