Welcome to the World!

August 26, 2010

It’s always such a special honor to go into a home to photograph a newborn, especially when the little one is only a week old!  I enjoyed meeting sweet Kaden last week.  He was nice and sleepy for most of my time there, which was great.  He did need a break to eat, so I had a blast with his big sister, Ashley, in the back yard while we waited on him…she was adorable, as you can see below.

Congrats to our friends Scott and Liv on their new addition to one beautiful family!

Meet sweet Mr. Kaden

a very proud daddy

Miss Ashley and I went in the back yard while Kaden ate and she totally charmed me!  Spinning, showing me all of her dance moves:

This child is a knockout!

beautiful.

seriously??  I could have taken her picture all day!

what a great smile!

Then I went inside and got to hang out with sweet Kaden some more.

He’s just perfect.

Oh, the adorableness was abounding…

He didn’t mind being in a bowl…

It even made him smile just a little.

A sweet moment with daddy…

and mommy…

and finally, with big sis, who is so proud.  Such a great family!

Welcome to the world, Kaden.  We’re glad you’re here!

Catherine and Jay met in college at CU-Boulder.  Fast-forward approximately a decade, she is a successful attorney, he is a successful engineer.  They meet again, and sparks fly.  These two world travelers planned an incredibly beautiful wedding celebration at Ten Mile Station in Breckenridge, Colorado, and I was thrilled to be able to capture their day.  Everything was perfect, from the brightly-colored flowers, to the weather (just a few quick sprinkles before the ceremony, then party-cloudy skies for the remainder), to the outstanding food, to the Bluegrass band and dancing into the night.  They obviously adore one another, and I kept finding them sneaking in cute glances at each other. It was quite simply a fabulous, perfect wedding.  I am excited to present them with these images…and there are many, so get cozy and enjoy!

Umm, did I mention that Ten Mile Station, located on Peak 9 in Breckenridge, is awesome with views to die for?

The details were amazing and so colorful!

I love this shot of Catherine as her dress was fastened up.

Ah, the anticipation…champagne…last minute primping…

…and some more champagne!

simply gorgeous bride

Catherine, you are stunning!

enjoying some laughs on the ski slope before the ceremony

Jay and the guys were as cool as could be.

Hello, fabulous ceremony location.

Husband + Wife!

We enjoyed lots of yummy light for the portraits!

They are so sweet together!

It was time to head inside and let the dinner and dancing begin!

some heartfelt toasts…

a fun first dance…

…a very cute and meaningful father-daughter dance, lots more dancing and a sparkler farewell.  It was a fabulous wedding!

And I will end on this one:  Catherine and Jay’s way-too-cute Yorkie, Winston, was even there, dressed to the nines.  :)

Congratulations, Catherine and Jay!  I am so glad I got to document your day!  Enjoy the rest of your adventure in Africa!

I had the pleasure of doing little Mr. Brooks’ two year photos recently.  I found him particularly adorable, not that all the kids I photograph aren’t adorable, but he was especially cute.  I think I have a thing for redheads…perhaps because of my cute little redheaded nephew.  :)   I also enjoyed this session because his mom and grandma were so cool and fun to be around – it was a great time!
Thanks again, Tracy, for the great time photographing Brooks and chatting with you!  Without further ado, here is some adorableness:
