One thing I love about photographing families is that I often become friends with my clients. Sarah came to me for her maternity photos just shortly before I had my own daughter. I am so honored that they have chosen me to do their family photos and Gigi’s one year pictures. Are they not the most beautiful family?
We went on a hunt for a praying mantis that I had seen earlier in the prairie during the maternity shoot I did today. We did not find it, but Elijah and I are now planning an entire habitat now for a praying mantis and hope to catch one soon. Either way, a good time.
I have the most beautiful baby in the world. She really is, I just adore her. She is such a bright part of my life, how did I get so lucky? And we live in utopia. Really, I think we are some of the luckiest people in the world. This is our front yard-filled with sunflowers and vegetables. Our front yard. I don’t know, I just feel like I really lucked out in this life. Not just where I live (Boulder is good), but my children, our friends, my husband, my ability to take photos that people like…I got really lucky this time round’. Hope I can keep up the good karma.
What a beautiful family! They are from Australia, and wanted to get some photos done in Colorado while they were living here. We started off at Eben Fine Park on Arapahoe and 3rd, and let me tell you, Sunday night is NOT a good time to go shoot there. I have never seen any place so crowded before in Boulder, except of course the Pearl Street Mall. So, we took a few photos there and then headed over to Wonderland Lake-which, in my opinion, is one of the most beautiful parks in Boulder. If you go at just the right time in the evening, the prairie will be lit up by the sun-it is breathtaking. It’s like taking a bath in pure light-which to my photographer’s eye is the most luxurious and calming thing I could think of doing.
Ruby is just 7 months and Max is 3 years. They were so sweet together! I really enjoyed photographing this family, and hope they stay long enough that I get to do Ruby’s 12 month photos too!
Voicemail still does not work-if you have called me recently please email me too at boulderbabyphotography@gmail.com.
More from San Francisco! I can’t believe I am still putting up sneak peaks! But I almost totally caught up with everything, so that is good:) I LOVE this family. This is my perfect family-they came ready to have FUN. I honestly think dad burped the whole time just to get the boys to laugh-and it worked. What else are you supposed to do with three boys? I also engaged in lots o’ burping. The whole thing was a good time, I was sad it was just a mini session. And I love their outfits from miniboden.com! So full of life. Like them.
Yay for today! Even with five shoots this week I had today off just to catch up on office work and I am actually making headway! I have gotten so behind with our move. But Kellie, my office manager, is finally back from England and she will be sending out all print and cd orders tomorrow! Yay! It is such a relief to finally be moved in (even though we are still living out of boxes). I have my computer set up, I found my camera, and I know where all my props are! I almost had to rent a camera last week for Max’s newborn shoot bc I could not find mine in this mess. But, things are finally coming together. And we moved to this co housing community so that I could get more support and so that we could live a more simple life-and I can already tell it is going to be just as we hoped. With things settling down, and Kellie getting back to all the office work, everything should be moving more smoothly now. I am still having voice mail issues though, so the best way to reach me right now is to email me. Boulderbabyphotography@gmail.com TONS and TONS of photos to be blogged here soon. Here are just a few of sweet Novi’s second session at Rancho San Antonio in California.
More from the mini sessions in the Bay Area! I just loved this family. I got to do two sessions with them. This first one was at Wunderlich Park in Woodside, Ca. The other was at the Golden Gate Bridge (sneak peak for those to come soon too!). I just loved all the props mom brought for this one-a radio flyer wagon, a “hot air balloon,” a tricyle. I wish we would have done a full session so that we really could have had time to play! Such sweet kids, and Kylie is so good to her little brother. More to come!
Jen, my wonderful friend from grad school, was so awesome to organize all these mini sessions for me in the Bay Area. It was so much fun planning with her and also getting to know her sweet little Novi, who is now three years old. Dad was soooo sweet with Novi, too, you could tell they had the best connection. They actually did two sessions, more to come!
This was another mini session from the Bay Area with two beautiful little girls! I love their dresses, too! Mom found them on etsy.com, maybe she can send me the link to the crafter as I know that people will want to know where to find such cute dresses! Ava was such a good big sister. Even though Mia could not sit up yet she was a little trooper and sat and help her up for us as long as it took:)
The sweetest little three year old ever! Lauren was so happy and alive during our entire mini session. It was amazing because she looks like my son’s age-5, but is only three and just carefree and so whimsical. And dad really knows how to throw her up in the air. Love dads like that! many, many, many more blog posts to come in the next week! Did I mention I shot a wedding last night as well? Lots o’ pictures to come!
