Little Taylor was such a joy to photograph! She has this sweet little shy smile and is so giggly and curious. It was a little chilly this day, but Taylor was a trooper and kept smiling for me even when her nose turned pink and her cheeks got rosey.

I met Andrea at a friend’s birthday party and soon discovered that we share the same last name! Perhaps her husband and my husband are distant relatives. I was so excited when she asked me to take photos of her pregnant belly. She’s adorable pregnant and her husband and two boys are so excited for baby Zoe’s arrival. I had a really fun time photographing them!

Little Elina was such a treat to photograph. She’s such a mellow, good-natured baby, and was happy to just chill out and let me take her picture. Her mom and dad are pretty mellow and good-natured so that must be where she gets it from.

I had the pleasure of spending a crisp Sunday morning keeping up with the Joneses: two adorable boys, two adoring parents, and two very well-behaved & photogenic doggies.

w, x & z {family}

I hope that if William and Marzerlena (Z) have another baby, they chose a name that starts with “Y”…then it will be complete, W, X, Y & Z! However, even without the letter Y, William and Z have the most adorable little almost-2-year-old, Xavier! He’s head strong and knows exactly what he wants, and he’s also super sweet and really smart. I had fun photographing him playing around in his room last weekend.

What a sweet baby girl Katherine is! I’m pretty sure she has her mommy and daddy wrapped around her little finger, it’s obvious that they adore her. I had the pleasure of photographing them on two occasions in the past month!

matthew, sara beth, jack & noah {family}

Sara Beth and I have been friends since about the 5th grade. We grew up in the same neighborhood and we had our children within 6 months of each other. I’ll never forget the first time I met little Jack and Noah, Sara Beth & Matthew’s twin boys. They were so tiny and precious! Now they are rambunctious preschoolers who have so much fun together! Sara Beth is a budding photographer herself, so I was honored to spend part of an afternoon photographing such a fun family.

libby, ann & daniel {family}

Ann and I have been friends since we were 4 and 5 years old! We were classmates through college – we both got degrees in Architectural Engineering from CU Boulder. So, it was my pleasure to take some family pictures of her with her husband Daniel and their adorable little girl Libby. We had fun wandering around a little pond near where we grew up, finding neat spots to stop and pose.
