Photos with the Segurs

Poor Stephanie and her family have had to deal with me putting them off time after time because of conflicts and bad weather in Denver. (I don't get there often for shoots.) But after a year, I finally got to meet then and do a shoot for her - and it was a blast! This beautiful family was so much fun - they were hilarious and so much fun and very willing to hike all over the property to find the best locations. And dealt with the cold like troopers! (It was much chillier than we expected!)

At one point, I had to run back to my car for a minute and got back to find them playing hide and seek - Stephanie had lost her husband and kids! (I found them - man, am I good....) They cracked me up.

Here is just a small sampling of the photos I took of them...

The Brahlers - again!

Julie and her family are probably my most loyal customer. They are so awesome to shoot... and just wonderful people. Mark is an amazing dad, Matt is hilarious and Zack is adorable. And Julie is not only beautiful, she's always saying the nicest things about my photos... Hmmm, could that be why I like shooting them so much? Heh!

We met up at my old house (the owners were nice enough to offer it as a place for the photos) and wandered around taking a few photos where we'd done them before. Matt definitely loved to mug for the camera. And Zach loved climbing on the rocks!

Just a small sample of the photos we did that day:

Jessanne is Graduating!

Jessanne, a senior from Hotchkiss, called me out of the blue to do a senior photoshoot for her. Now, I had been debating on whether or not to do senior photos as I'd heard some interesting stories. But Jessanne was an absolute delight to work with! She was willing to try anything and she was so animated and dynamic I felt as thought all I had to do was press the shutter!

Here are a few of my favorite shots from the session:








Thanks, Jessanne and Laurie, I had a blast! And congratulations...

The Rutherfords and the Eldridges

Jess,a good friend who also does a simply amazing job running Little Red Schoolhouse in CB South, bought her sister, Molly, a photoshoot for Christmas last year. After being way too busy for one in the flowers this summer, we scheduled it for the fall. Personally, these are my favorite photoshoots - I just am in LOVE with fall here. And I adore these two families. I had a blast taking photos of them!

Alan and Molly's boys, Alex and Ian, are such great kids and all boy that it was a joy following them with a camera. And Amelia, Tom and Jessica's daughter (my daughter Ellie's good friend), is just so adorable with eyes you can just get sucked into. The camera definitely loves her!!

Here are just a few of my favorites from that shoot:







And just a few more of them....

Thanks again, Jess and Molly. I had a GREAT time with your families!

The Michaud Family

With things so busy for me lately, I almost missed out on this shoot. I had a last minute cancellation and was able to work the Michaud family into my schedule - and I'm so thrilled that it happened! They were so much fun and the setting was just gorgeous. I got to just take photos of the children doing the things children do - my absolute favorite was to photograph! They made it so easy to have such a wide variety of photos... and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute.

Without any further ado, here are a few of my favorites...














And because I just had so many favorites, here is a small slideshow!



Oh! And your Fallöbst wine you gave me was amazing!!! Thanks so much.

The Williams Family

After looking around for the perfect spot for Carol and her family, I came across the Woods Walk. I was stunned at how gorgeous the flowers were there! I literally have never seen that many columbine all in one spot. Amazing!

We did a few family shots and then I concentrated on the kids, Maggie and Jack. They were hilarious! So full of energy and so much fun. Both just wonderful children. They ran around in the columbine, blew dandelion clocks at each other and had a good time - and I had a blast shooting them!

Thanks for such a great photo session, Carol and Stan! It was a delight meeting your family. Have a wonderful stay here in paradise.








The flowers were amazing!

Neelley and John - Engaged!

I knew this was going to be a fun shoot, I just didn't realize how much fun! Both Neelley and John were so sweet and had such easy going, fun attitudes about the whole shoot. Even when it started dumping snow, it didn't dampen their enthusiasm for each other - or for trying some new, fun shots.

These are just a few of the many photos I got of them! I think you'll agree - it's obvious how much these two truly love each other.

Congratulations, Neelley and John! I'm so happy for you and wish you the best....
