This is another girl that makes me smile. I met “J” in college. We were in the same sorority and became friends instantly. She can always bring a smile to your face and make you laugh. Now she is married and lives in CO with her 4 children and her hubby! They have a nanny who is super sweet too. She came along for the photo shoot and I even captured an image with her and the 4 kids (watch the slide show).

We met at the same cute little town outside of Red Rocks for the start of our images. Then we headed into the mountains for the rest and a little blue cow eatery for ice cream at the end! We had great light and just a beautiful day. The kids did such a great job and I even got all of them looking at one point with smiles on their faces (all of you photogs out there know how hard it is to get a 5,4,3 and 6 month old to look at the same time and smile… I had to be extra silly for this session!).

Thank you guys for a great session! I will see you when you come back to KC in Dec for your family session. Enjoy your images and slide show HERE!

they might not all be looking at the camera, but I love how they are all doing their own thing!! I just love kids!

I just love this gal and her little girl. “J” and I go way back to college days when she played softball and I ran track and we met just doors down in our dorm. We have been friends ever since! Now she is a dentist in CO for kiddos along with her hubby. She would like to come back to KC and start a practice someday so when they decide to come back here we will just give them our house and we can take theirs b/c my husband is DYING to move back to CO someday. He told me he wanted to put us on a 5 year plan to get there when we came back from vacation (every time we go there he says the same thing when we come back so don’t get scared… I am not leaving… just visiting the beautiful state). BUT, if I ever live there people better watch out b/c the place is amazing and oh the pictures I could take there…… we won’t go there. I was only allowed to do a few sessions when I was there (we were on vacation and my camera was supposed to take a little vacation too!).

We had a great session. We met in this little town and then headed up to Red Rocks for the end of our session. I am not from there so I had to find a place that would accommodate two sessions one of the mornings we were out there and this was middle ground. I just said a prayer on my way to the session and it worked! The little town had all this character, vintage benches and stores. It was perfect! The light out there is perfect too and so was little “L”. She was so happy and we had so much fun together. She was such a good listener and we ran around the little town (when I say little it was literally a street long and so cute) and then took some pictures on a few rocks for daddy.

Thank you for a great session. I will be back and we will have to capture her again! I love you guys. It was so good to see you. Enjoy your sneak peek and slide show here!

For all you photogs out there I shot this entire session with my 85mm/1.2 lens on 1.2 the ENTIRE TIME (except when mom joined the images then I shot 4.0 with the two of them). I love the results. There are images here that have NO photoshop done to them whatsoever!! (besides the sharpening I do for web). I LOVE this lens! LOVE, LOVE prime lenses….
