Eating up every moment of life as a family of 3. Wild, always changing, lots of laughing, hard at times, but most importantly, always loving life.
PS. Thank you so much for your patience with my blog-hiatus. It’s good to be back. 
I am hoping to make an effort to catch up on the blog, but for now, I’ll start with my most recent session. There is so much I could say about the laughter, energy, love, and amazing connection that this family shares, but I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves. Enjoy a glimpse:

Amber & Charlie: I loved watching the two of you interact and love each other and your boys. You guys make a great team and definitely have the making cute kids thing down.
Ryan: Ka-chow!
Tristan: Keep smiling and can’t wait to play again!
Google tells me that a snapshot is “A photograph, especially one taken quickly or in a moment of opportunity; A glimpse of something; a portrayal of something at a moment in time.”
The photo of our daughter below is just that: a snapshot. It wasn’t staged. It isn’t a stunning piece of art. And yet I can’t take my eyes off of it. We were playing on a blanket on a family day away in the mountains, and I saw something beautiful. I reached down and grabbed my camera to shoot this frame, and I’m so glad I did. I love it.
I love it because her eyes are dancing.
Because when I hold the photograph in my hands, it is timeless. Something I would find in my grandmother’s own baby album.
Because when I look at it I see everything about the moment, even what isn’t pictured.
The way she was wrapped up and squealing with delight in the autumn breeze.
The way the leaves were dancing in the sunlight above her, for her.
The way the clean mountain air brought refreshment.
The way our hearts were full.
This is what I want to give you. Captured moments in time that you can look back on and say a resounding, “Yes. That was it.” Would you be so brave as to move past the posed shots and invite me in to take snapshots of your life? Of what is now for you and your family? As I sit here holding this photograph that is now one of my favorites of our daughter, I can tell you that you won’t be disappointed.

I have so much to catch up on, but I did want to share a few frames that caught my eye this morning as I am working through a session from the weekend. Real laughter and family interaction is what I love most. I would display these just like this in my house.
I knew I was going to have a great time at this session when I was first contacted by this couple several months ago. They have been married for several years now and simply wanted some updated photos of the two of them. I love that. No crazy occasion or holiday. Just a desire to have photos taken of them during this stage of their life. One of my passions is providing authentic images that my clients will cherish for generations to come, so I was thrilled to get to provide them just that. Enjoy a glimpse:

PS. I am almost booked for the remainder of 2010! If you are interested in getting photos done before the holidays (think Christmas cards!), be sure to contact me soon!
