Laura and Dan: Expecting

March 15, 2011

Dan and Laura are good friends, and I was so excited when they asked me to capture this beautiful time in their lives.  As you can see from the photos, they are just gorgeous, and I am so excited to meet this new little one who will be here very soon.  Laura is just glowing right now, and she even wowed me with some difficult yoga moves while we were shooting – she is one amazing mama!

Enjoy these images of my time with Laura and Dan – I know I enjoyed capturing them!  :)

just look at that perfect belly and beautiful mama!

Laura & Dan – you guys are amazing and I am SO excited to meet your little one.  Thank you for hanging with me and being rock stars during the shoot.  :)

Love,

This family is one of my all-time favorites.  Not only are they some of our dearest friends, but they are some of my best clients.  :)   We decided to meet up in Wash Park for some photo fun, and they did not disappoint!

Nothing like a little silliness to get things started!

How great is this?

Sweet little guy climbing the tree…

…and an oh-so-handsome older brother!  Love those blue eyes!

And I have to end on this…so much fun!

Lauren, Ryan, and the boys – we love you!  :) Thanks for the fun and for the opportunity to capture your beautiful family!

Love,

more City Park adventures

November 9, 2010

I love photographing this gorgeous family.  Last year, I had the pleasure of doing their photos before sweet baby sister arrived, and this year it was so fun to include her.  The two boys are close in age to my guys, and I just love watching their fun together – it reminds me so much of my family.  They really enjoyed  running/rolling down a big hill over and over towards the end of the session – jeans were dirty, but it was the perfect activity for these boys.

Bronwyn and Scott, thanks so much for the great time capturing the fun and adventure of your family!

Gotta love being thrown in the air by daddy!

And hanging out with mom is super fun, too.  :)

So sweet!

Love,

miss g

This fun family is special to me: Ryan and I have been friends with Jimmy, the dad, since college.  We were friends then, and somehow we all ended up in Denver despite mid-western roots.  Ry and I were at the party Jimmy and Amanda, his wife, went to on their first date, and I remember liking her immediately.  We enjoyed their mountain wedding a few years ago.  Now, years later, they are parents to one ADORABLE little guy who completely rocked this photo shoot.  I was impressed by his big, abundant smiles and sweet demeanor.  I am so happy for them and loved so many of their photos that I had to do a few story boards to incorporate more of them into my blog!

How much fun are they?!

Can you say “gorgeous?”  Love this one – even the sweet doggie cooperated!

This is one handsome little guy – I can’t get enough of those blue eyes and big smiles!

I know I’ve already mentioned how fun they are, but here are a couple more examples – this little guy is in for some good times!

Finally, I had to show these sweet daddy/son moments…great times!

Jimmy and Amanda, thanks so much for the honor of capturing your beautiful family in photos.  It was such fun!

Love,

Doggone Fun!

October 12, 2010

I am an animal lover, and lately I’ve had several opportunities to photograph dogs.  When Mary contacted me and said she’d like photos of her husband and her AND their two dogs, I got excited.  It’s always such fun to capture the spirit of dogs, and I so appreciate their excitement to meet someone new!  :)   These two, Bitte and Danke (what clever names – “please” and “thank you” in German) gave me a happy welcome and proceeded to show off their numerous tricks for me – I was in love!  Plus, their owners, Mary and John, were not so bad themselves – a very kind and welcoming couple.  I shot these images in their beautiful back yard!  Enjoy!

What a great couple.  I love this photo.

Danke, looking as cute as can be.

Bitte, charming me with those big eyes.

I got to witness some of the pups’ “school.”  They rolled over, stood up, and crawled.  I’d say they definitely deserve a passing grade.  :)

I’ll end with these two of John and Mary – such sweet images.

John and Mary, thank you so much for welcoming me into your home.  I enjoyed being with you and your two little ones!

Love,

miss g

sweet siblings

October 8, 2010

When the mom of these three adorable kids contacted me for photos, I was so excited.  We’ve known them for a few years now, and they are all just beautiful.  They recently added a third baby – a boy – to the family, and he is well-loved by his two big sisters!  I had a blast with them recently, as you can see below.  Enjoy!

The girls started out by showing me their play room – which had some lovely light.

Here is the oldest telling me about her favorite toys.  I love those lashes!

Gorgeous little sister was curious about my camera!  Those eyes are stunning.

More lovely lashes…

Look at this guy – he could not be any cuter!

I had to do a story board of each child because there were just too many fun shots!  Here is the little charmer.

This girl is simply adorable!

Beautiful and sweet oldest sister…

These photos below totally crack me up – you never know what you’re going to get with three little ones! (Don’t worry, mom, we did get some of them all looking at the camera – this just made me laugh!)

Sweet sister moments!

What a fun session!  I am so thankful that I get to spend my work time with people like them!

Love,

miss g

One of my favorites!

September 30, 2010

This family started out as clients (friends of our friends) and I am so thankful to say that now they are dear friends and cycling/triathlon buddies!   I am always so honored to do their photos, and I think their two kids are some of the cutest I get to work with.  We enjoyed some great sunset light/sun flare, and I had such a hard time narrowing down photos of their kids that I did a big ole collage of them!  :)

Ahh…I love me some pretty light…and a beautiful family!

Um, can you say cute?!

What a handsome guy!

Gorgeous little girl!

I love these photos…they are so real and adorable.

How sweet is this?!

A sweet moment with daddy.

I realize this one below is a little unconventional and not in my normal style, but I love playing with alternative toning and textures.  Plus, just look at his face – pure joy!

What a fun session!

Thanks, guys, for such a fun time!

Love,

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!

A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of flying to Boise, ID to do the one-year photos for my dear friend’s little boy.  Oh my.  He is so cute, so smart (not a surprise, given his parents both are Ph.D.’s), and just a pleasure to be around.  I stayed with them for the weekend, and had to pull out my camera on several occasions to capture his cuteness.  I also got some good down time with my friend, and really enjoyed Boise.  There is an amazing running/biking trail just outside their house that goes for miles and miles, so I enjoyed some good runs.  We went downtown for dinner one evening, and I had the biggest, best bacon cheeseburger west of the Mississippi.  All in all, it was an awesome trip, and I was so thankful for the time with my friend, her husband, and their little cutie.  If only my guys had been there!

This was shortly after my arrival – he wasn’t too sure about me yet!

Showing off his “SO BIG” moves for me.

I love this collage.  You can see that he warmed up to me!

They have an awesome little stream behind their house, so we had the little guy sit in the grass.  He was mesmerized!

These next few family shots are so fun.

I’ll end with these two – playing in his nursery. :)

Love,

family fun in the park

July 16, 2010

I’ve known this family since I had my first son and joined a playgroup – the mom, Lisa, was so kind and welcoming to me as I waded the unknown waters of playgroups, and we’ve been friends since.  She and her husband now have three gorgeous kids with huge brown eyes – check them out!   We enjoyed playing in the park at sunset (once we were properly covered with bug spray, that is), and I caught some great moments of their adorable family.

The oldest, Brooklyn, is such a pretty little lady now…she showed me some of her dance moves!

A.J., who is my older son’s age, was full of energy and charmed me with his talk of dinosaurs.

Sweet little Kamryn – those eyes!  I just wanted to eat her up!!

They just played around as a family – it was so sweet.  I love my job!

I love this little moment between Lisa & Kamryn!

The big kids had a good time looking for fish in the pond – cute!

Until next time,

miss g
