30 Little Fingers and 30 Little Toes!

When I saw a request come in on Thumbtack.com for a special photo session, I knew I had to reply with a quote.  Thumbtack is a great website for finding and offering professional services.  I normally only actually quote a few jobs that come in from that site but this one spoke to me. 

The requester was a mom of 3 boys and she didn't have a chance to get newborn photos of her son Cortlan because he had some complications.  She explained that he had a G-Tube and he was 9-months old but she still wanted to try and get some of those "newborn" poses.

I quoted it immediately and was thrilled when, after some messaging back and forth, she chose me.

Her other 2 boys are twins and they were all very fun!  Please enjoy some of the moments I captured at their Littleton home.

Dylan's Senior Photos

 

Martha found me on Thumbtack.com, she was looking for a photographer to take her son's senior photos.  I was thrilled when she clicked the "hired" button and we set a date.  Her son Dylan was so fun to work with - he was a natural in front of the camera.



 

 

 

 

 

 

Dylan plays Ultimate Frisbee for USA Frisbee.  As we were taking photos, a man stopped us and asked about the Frisbee.  Turns out, he is a coach for USA Frisbee.  What are the odds?!

 

 

  

 

 

 

About half way through the session I told his mom that I wanted my daughters to meet a nice boy like Dylan.  He was kind, respectful, and funny.  She told me that this isn't even an act, this is how he is all the time!  

 

Before we were done, we had to get a few shots of Dylan with his car.  He said that he is almost done paying back his parents.  Then his mom said, that it was his choice to pay them back.  By getting a 4.0, he earned a car.   By being a young man with integrity, he is repaying his parents.  Great job Dylan, have an AWESOME senior year!

Rain, Rain, Go Away...

 

Haruko contacted me in hopes of getting family photos done when her oldest child was home from Japan - they had a very small window of time.  I was so glad that I could make it work for them... as you'll see below, they are a fun family!

 

 

 

 

Their 3 amazing kids....  the oldest in Japan, the middle in Fort Collins, and the youngest.. a soon-to-be senior in high school. 

  

 

Such a great family.....

 

...that also likes to be silly and have fun!

 

 

We started at Lair o'the Bear Park, got rained out and sat at Raccoon Creek for nearly 40 minutes waiting for the storm to pass.  Thank goodness it did.  Thank you, Haruko, your family is awesome!



 

  

Mountain Vista Class of 2017

A huge congrats to one of Mountain Vista's 2017 graduate.  Although he wanted to just "get it done" and was doing this session mostly for his mom, he was a good sport and was very natural.  After hearing that he has 4 other siblings and being told I'll be her kids' photos for years, I left smiling... and I think they did too!

Congrats again - the world is yours!

 

 

Celebrating 50 Years of Marriage!

Wow!  50 Years!  That's right - 50 years of marriage, what a milestone! 

Chrissi and I met when she was interviewing for a job at the company where I worked.  That was some 10 years ago, and a few weeks ago, I had the honor of taking her extended family photos to capture the special milestone of her parent's 50th wedding anniversary.

 

 

They had two girls...  my friend Chrissi, and her sister, Annie

 



 

Chrissi and Annie both found love... Chrissi with David, and Annie with Dave.

 

 

 

Chrissi's boys are all grown up now, it's hard to believe!  In fact, her son Matthew is married.  His beautiful bride is Julia.

Between David and Annie, they have 3 kids...  Ezra, Aurora, and together, Ella. 

 

 

This family is quite a crew and I am thankful I know them!

Congratulations to a very special couple - here's to many, many more!



Miss Ava and Mr. Colt

After photographing Ava and Colt earlier this year, in my studio, I was thrilled when their mom called to do some outdoor photos.  I could believe how Colt had grown - he wasn't walking when we first met.  Ava is so sweet to her little brother -

Now that Colt can walk, he was "bustin' a move" at Lair o'the Bear Park!  We couldn't hold him back, he was on his way....

 

 

 

Ava (who is now 6, see below) isn't just a great big sister, she is a sweet girl with a beautiful smile.   It was such fun and my honor to capture these moments in time.  Thanks for trusting me to do so!

 

 

Until next time Dolan Family, until then...



The Thompson Family

Raccoon Creek Golf Course is one of my favorite places to do family sessions and this one was no different.  This boy... and this girl...  could they be any cuter?!

 

The weather was perfect and kids were full of energy!  The loved loving on their mom and dad, they were all smiles! 

                         

 

 

 

We were able to reign in some of the energy and got some great family photos.

 

The kids did great and so did mom and dad.  I hope to photograph this family for years to come!  Thank you for trusting me with your family memories.
