Lauren & Tim | Engagement

Lauren and Tim are such a special couple.  We had a great time getting to know these two a little better during their engagement session.  Lauren and Tim are so sweet and genuine, and the kind of people you just love to be around.  You can tell these two are deeply in love.  They cannot stop smiling around each other.  On top of photographing such a beautiful and loving couple, the location and lighting for this session was just spectacular.  We had the best time photographing Lauren and Tim; we could have kept shooting for hours.

Lauren and Tim are getting married this summer at Ellis Ranch, and we have no doubts that their wedding day will be anything short of incredible.  Congratulations Lauren and Tim!

Acksa & Jon | Engagement

Cheeseman Park was the perfect setting for Jon and Acksa's engagement session. I absolutely loved how the structures and even the colors of the flowers perfectly complimented Acksa's gorgeous Indian sari. Jon and Acksa are so sweet with one another, it is so fun watching the two of them together. Being around the two of them, you can tell they have so much joy and happiness simply being together.

These two are getting married in September, and we absolutely cannot wait! Congratulations Acksa and Jon!

David & Janessa | Wedding

David and Janessa share their passion for aviation, and both are pilots.  There was no better place for their wedding than Centennial Airport.  These two were surrounded by incredible planes for their entire day. 

Janessa was exquisite.  There was not one moment she didn't have a smile on her face.

The simple aviation details throughout their event were a perfect touch. 

After the ceremony, the newlyweds were introduced at the reception and immediately went into their first dance.  Janessa is a dance instructor, and the two of them danced a choreographed routine, complete with lifts and flips. 

They topped off their reception with a surprise choreographed bridal party dance to "I'm Sexy and I Know It". 

David and Janessa, thank you for allowing us the honor of photographing your incredible wedding day.  We are sure your life together will take you on many adventures through marriage, and we wish you all the best!  We pray God blesses your marriage greatly!  Congratulations!

Averie || Colorado Newborn Photographer

I loved photographing little Averie's newborn session. She was the easiest baby to work with. Despite being wide awake when she arrived at the studio, she slept so well through her entire session.

I love photographing little girls. It is so much fun dressing them in frills and a flower headband.

I already cannot wait to watch this beautiful little girl grow up.  She is simply precious.  Welcome to the world Averie!

Hayden | 1 Year

Watching the babies in our Baby Steps series grow up before our eyes is so much fun.  I love being able to see each of these little ones every few months and marvel at all of the growth and development between each session. 

Hayden was so adorable for her 1 year session.  She learned to stand on her own just prior to her session, and she was so proud of herself. 

I just love all of the outfits Hayden's mom picks for her.  How precious is she in her little petticoat and cowgirl boots?  Love it. 

And of course, Hayden loved having a chance to smash a cake for pictures.  This was her first bite of cake, and she was definitely enjoying it. 

Happy Birthday Hayden!

2011 Photo of the Year Contest

2011 was a year full of incredible photography. Scott and I consider ourselves truly blessed to share our passion for photography with such wonderful clients. Our clients in 2011 were fabulous, and we had our best year yet.

With so many beautiful images from 2011, we found it nearly impossible to put together our favorites. We decided to have our clients choose a few of their favorites from their wedding or session. It has been wonderful to see what images mean the most to our clients. We love the images they have selected. Reading our client's comments about why these are their favorites was so touching. We love sharing the gift of photography with others, but hearing how much our clients treasure their images is so touching.

Now we need your help to decide the overall best photo of the year for 2011.  The images in the contest are those selected by our clients who chose to participate. 

The winner from each category will receive the winning image as an 8x10 print, and the overall winner of the 2011 Photo of the Year will receive the winning image as a mounted 11x14 print.

The Photo of the Year contest will be a little different than years past. To cast your vote, please visit our Facebook page. Then, simply "like" and/or comment on your favorites. Only one comment per person per image will be counted as a vote.

Voting will continue until midnight on Friday, March 16th, and winners will be announced on our blog and Facebook page by Monday, March 19th.


We cannot wait to see which image will be the Photo of the Year!
