Without even knowing why, you’re remembering a family dinner from your childhood. Everyone laughing, your grandmother bringing out that one specific dish that always made your mouth water and your belly warm. Then you’re remembering when she made it for you when you were in college, or a birthday. You remember wanting to learn how to make it and sliding up next to her in the kitchen asking to help and watching her every move as she carefully pulled all of the ingredients together. You remember making it for the family after she passed away. The smiles and joy that showed up that night as everyone shared their memories.

What's your Personal Project?
Creativity is important because it accesses a part of our brain that doesn’t get a lot of activity when we’re busy reacting and doing things. It is one of the highest forms of self-expression. Something we all may feel like we’re missing at different times in our lives.

Little Baby Theo visited me recently in the studio to try out some new set pieces. I had an amazing time with him and his sweet momma. Baby T had some nice sleepy time and also some very awake moments. His parents have nicknamed him “Teddy” so the adorable handmade teddy bear was perfect to slip into his pictures.

I had the pleasure of photographing the Dimmick family recently at the beautiful Hildebrand Ranch Park in Littleton, Colorado. I absolutely love summer evening photo sessions!
The sun was bright, then clouds filled the sky, and then the sun peeked through again. We photographed in front of the barn, climbed and sat on some big boulders and then found the trees by the stream.
It was a joy to see the girls running around in the open space and the sweet moments with their grandparents and uncle and of course, mom and dad.
Kids grow quick and the moments can be fleeting as time continues ticking. What’s that saying? “The days are long but the years are short”. Schedule your family photo session today, you won’t regret it! Email me to get on my summer schedule before the busy fall rolls around.
More on the location of our photo session. Hildebrand Ranch boasts a beautiful scenic view of the valley originally homesteaded by Frank and Elizabeth Hildebrand settled in Deer Creek in 1866 on 160 acres. In March 1973 Denver leased 750 acres from Chatfield and 67 for the Denver Botanic Gardens which included the ranch's original buildings and is now owned and operated by Jefferson County Open Space for the public to enjoy. Check the website for the hiking trails around that area. Lots of wildlife and beautiful sunsets in a pretty secluded location. A Jefferson County Open Space photography permit is required to photograph on the property.
Until next time, cheers ~
