Emily :: Senior Portraits :: Denver, CO.

Okay, I might just be a tad bias, but this gorgeous girl just happens to be one of my(and definitely my kids) favorite person. This is, of course, my niece and the first one to make me an aunt. I remember how excited I was when I heard she was born and now I can't believe that she is a senior and ready to graduate high school! So crazy! But I am so extremely proud of her and the woman she has grown up to be. 

We made sure to have fun capturing some senior shots while we were in Colorado over the holidays. Being a big Broncos and Rockies fan, we made sure to go downtown and get a few fun shots and capture this sweet girl's fun and sporty personality. I loved that it snowed while we were there. It made for a beautiful scenery.

Enjoy!

I absolutely love fun senior sessions!

Wishing you a wonderful week!

Carter Family :: Aurora, CO.

i was so excited that my last family session of 2012 would be back in my hometown of colorado capturing my best friend's beautiful family. i have known her since the seventh grade! we went through high school together. became college roommates together. i was a bridesmaid in her wedding and we  even became "aunts" to each other kids. she has been my greatest supporter when i began my passion for photography and when she asked if i would do her family portraits i literally squealed with excitement .. because i was that excited!!

love her and her family.

so blessed and so grateful to have such amazing friendships with such amazing people!!

hope you all are having a beautiful week!

wow. is it just me or do the days just seem to fly by for everyone? i can't believe that it's been almost two weeks since i took my solo vacation to denver! it was such an unbelievable trip. catching up with old college buddies, hanging and laughing with my best friend since the sixth grade, and just relaxing and enjoying my family. 

 yes, it was a wonderful trip.

  I haven't seen Steve in Steph in over five years! Since that time they have gotten married and had this cute little girl who is just over one! how did we let so much time pass by before catching up? It was so worth it though!

And seriously? I love this cute kid. My best friend since the sixth grade has the most fun and adorable little boy and i got to spend the day with them, tagging along for the bbq challenge up in Frisco, Co. Not only was i in the best company, but i got to eat the yummiest food all day long. Score!

love spending time with them!

  And nothing beats a relaxing day just hanging with family. And you can count on my niece and nephew to always be there to keep you laughing and entertain you. 

Love the special trips I get to make back home. Even though I was missing my kiddos the entire time, it was so nice to catch up with old friends, play with little ones and just be with family. Nothing beats family!

hope you all are having a good week so far!!
