::Visiting Kara in Colorado::

I finally planned a trip out to Colorado to visit my dear friend Kara. Kara lives outside of Denver in a town called Parker. We had such a fun, relaxing, full, funny weekend together (along with her golden retriever Sadie)! Somehow the whole weekend passed and I didn't get one photo of Sadie, so maybe Kara will email me one I can add to this post. If you ever want to feel loved all the time no matter what you do, you should adopt a golden retriever. Each morning I awoke to a dog sighing outside of my bedroom door just waiting for me to wake up. Apparently she enjoys having guests and wants to be with her guests all the time. As soon as I would wake up and open the bedroom door, she would be so excited and wiggly and happy. I couldn't help but smile. :) Kara and I did a lot of fun things... I included photos from out trip to the Crepe place that made the most heavenly crepes ever! We also drove up to Brekenridge and stopped in a few towns on the way up. Overall, I had a great time visiting Kara and Sadie! Thanks guys!

TWINS!

These precious little ones are four weeks old and barely five pounds each! They were so much fun for me to photograph and try out some new ideas. Thanks for trusting me with your babies, Tammy & Todd! I still can't get over how tiny they were. ;) These are just a few of my favorites.

Family Session

I had the pleasure of photographing Kelly's family. There are two brand new babies in the family. Kelly and her twin sister had baby boys within a few weeks of each other. They were such a fun family to hang out with and photograph. Thanks guys!

WPPI Print Competition 2008

WEDDING & PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHERS INTERNATIONAL
Professional wedding and portrait photographers from all over the world gather together in Las Vegas every March to take classes, see new cameras and gadgets at the tradeshow, network with other photographers, AND view the photographs in the print competition. When I began my pursuit of photography eight years ago, I entered many competitions in the category of black and white fine art photography. The more involved I became with weddings and portraits the less I participated in art shows. This year I decided get back to my photo roots and enter WPPI's 16x20 Awards of Excellence competition in the category of "Engagement." Although this is a completely different type of photo competition for me, I stayed true to my love of black and white photographs. Enjoy the shots below:

::Baby Judah::

Baby Judah is so sweet! I had the pleasure of photographing him this past Monday when he was eight weeks old. He was so snuggley and squishy. ;) I love photographing newborns, so please contact me if you or someone you know would like baby photos taken of your little one.

So sleepy at the end of his photo session. Being cute is really hard work. :)
