About a month ago the Bohon’s welcomed Micah to their family… and what a beautiful boy!  He was wide awake when I arrived and talk about wiggles this little man had.  Hardly a moment still for photos – but doesn’t matter.. we got some of those big eyes and then with a little patience he fell to sleep for us in the last 10 minutes so we could get some sleeping shots too.   This little guy was already lifting his head… and not just for a few seconds – you could swear he was going to take off crawling at any moment.  Very precious, very beautiful, and Micah will be very well loved – wonderful parents!

Super excited that we had such a wonderful  session this past weekend.  We beat the heat of the day and got some great images of one of my favorite families on Sunday morning.  I have been lucky enough to photograph Katie & Ryan’s wedding, maternity, newborn… and as you can see their daughter is getting bigger all the time over the past few years.  2 years old and as beautiful as can be with those natural curls in her hair!  Full of energy and curious… but look out – Malory is so quick on her feet and wanted to be chased!  We caught her between sprints to get some great images and had such a fun time with everyone. 🙂

So, if you photograph children or… well… if you even have multiple children – you know that a portrait session with multiple children involved can be a bit of a challenge.  It can be quite a game getting everyone in the right position and looking the right direction.  Honestly, it can be a challenge just getting any child just to come within range of the frame.  Don’t get me wrong… that is a large part of why I love photographing toddlers.  They make it new, fun, different every session I have – it is impossible to get bored!  The family photo was all in position… minus Finn, as he has the super energy that every 2 year old boy typically does and didn’t want near anyone.  So we plopped him down with his blanket and nuk (binky, bubble… whatever you choose to call it), and luckily we had grandma’s quick hands close by – with a little giggle from Finn and everyone else in the family each time.  Pulling the nuk & blanket between every shot so that we could get him to stay in place.  You have to laugh… he is one of the cutest kids I’ve met and a personality to match.  Ewan hung in there and was the “big brother” and we couldn’t have done it without his great cooperation too.  I want to set a big congratulations to the Clements on there newest addition to the family Duncan!!!!

What could be better than a beautifully sunny morning at Chautauqua Park in Boulder.  The wildflowers are wonderful still up there this summer… and I was so excited because they usually don’t hang around this long into the summer.  But, Reed wasn’t interested in the wildflowers at all – he is on the move and wants to discover,  and was finally happy when he could get his feet wet and play with a rock – the typical boy.  And although he may act like the typical boy… he is beautiful – and when you look at those big eyes it would cause anyone to say WOW.  His sisters Sophia & Anna are also a couple of the most pleasant girls to be around, with their big eyes and sweet smiles.  The best end to the session was watching Anna chase a butterfly around the park.  Nothing dull about this morning… the ladybugs and grasshoppers were out in full force giving any child plenty to discover.
