Autumn, Broncos & Family

 

It was obvious the first time I met Diane that her family was her first priority so when she asked me to take her family photos, I was thrilled!  Her kids, Erin and Sean were darling and I loved that they were all decked out in their Bronco gear... down the shoes and jewelry.


  
 
 
...and these kids.  Could they be any cuter?!
 
  
 
 
 
Before we finished we had to have some "we love mom" shots.  Thanks so much, Diane, for sharing your family with me!
 
  


 

Let him eat cake!


Kyler'Rhys was turning one and his mom (and grandma) were so excited to have his picture taken.  Once I saw that smile and those eyes, I could see why!

They brought the coolest antique whisky crates, a banner and hat the grandma made and... you guessed it, a CAKE!  Ky was such a happy guy, he was so easy to photograph.  Although, as you'll see, he wasn't so sure about this whole "eat" cake idea - let alone, get messy!  :)
 
 
 
 
It didn't take long before he caught onto the idea and decided that this was YUMMMMY!



  
 
 
Happy Birthday little man...  may you have many, many more!!
 
 

 


The Piersons



Last Spring I was honored to go to the Ohana School for Early Learning and photograph all the students ages 6-weeks to 5 years.  It was a long but fun day full of smiles and some "hidden" smiles.  One of the boys that was all smiles was Carter.  It was so fun to be able to go his house and photograph his entire family - are they cute or what?!

  
 
We had a fun time in their backyard and he introduced me to his sister... can you stand those cheeks and that grin?  So adorable!
 
 
 
 
Carter's Dad does obstacle course races (for fun :) !) and Carter was excited to show me the lay set he has in the backyard.
 
 
  
 
 
Once we saw the backyard and took some pictures, it was time to bring the puppy (said lightly) into the pictures.  Although I said they may want to look for a saddle, I was told that she is just a puppy and this European Great Dane is still many pounds away from full grown. 
 
 
 
Before we were done, we had to get some shots on their porch and the green grass in the front yard.  This brother and sister duo are adorable and obviously love each other.  Thanks so much, Pierson Family, for sharing your family with me!
 





Tyrus and Tucker

What a fun day I had with Tyrus & Tucker and their Mom & Dad.  This whole family was so laid back and easy going, it was a joy to photograph them.



Everything I asked these kids to do, they did.  I mean really, take a look at these sweet faces...

  
 
 
One thing that always makes kids smile and show me their true personality is.. BUBBLES!  Tyrus and Tucker were no exception!
 
  
 
 

Thanks for being such a fun family - I am sure you'll have a great fall and a happy Halloween!

Guess Who is ONE?!

.... have you guessed yet?  Did you guess Brayden?  If you did, you're right!  This little pumpkin is one and he is ready to celebrate!!


 
 
 
 
Once that shirt came off and the tie went on, it was time to P.A.R.T.Y.!  What's a party without cake?  NOTHING!  Sooooo, bring on the cake!

 
 
 
 
At first, Braydon wasn't so sure about this whole cake idea. 
 
 
 
 
Once he got the hang of this cake thing, well, as you can see, he was ALL IN!



 

 

It was so fun to photograph him - he has a fun personality, a sweet smile... and...  a sweet tooth! Happy, Happy Birthday Brayden - and many more!

Joseph John Audie IV

That is quite a name, isn't it?  Well, this little one definitely has what it takes, I can already tell!  How, you ask?  Well, I had the honor of capturing some of his first moments in our Fresh 48 session.  When I arrived he was just 3 hours and 45 minutes old.  And, he was amazingly handsome!



This was extra special because I had the privilege of taking the maternity session for this special family.  Kerry and Joey were so much fun and we all seemed to just "click".  


I was so happy when they asked me to do a Fresh 48.  One of the little onesies they brought the to maternity session was also at the hospital. 
 


There were some very tender moments and it was a JOY watching these first-time parents with their son!







 He was such a little peanut and so photogenic, already.  :-)



Welcome to the world little man!  I hope to get to photograph you through the years...
