Holiday Photos {Ohio Family Photographers}

Hello everyone! Happy New Year!! I don't know about you but I'm so excited for 2011. So many new things for us and we can't wait to share. But you'll have to wait:)

While I was back in Ohio for Thanksgiving Chelsey and Kim got ahold of me to do some family photos of them with their siblings. Perfect present for their parents. I was so excited to photograph them. It was so much fun. Cold but fun:) I have to get my brothers to do this but that's like pulling teeth. One day. 

How cute are Kim and her sisters??

And Chels with her siblings...

I love that Mitchell is the only boy. And the youngest. :) He was such a good sport during the whole shoot.

Holiday photos new tag line is: making moms cry one present at a time. Both Chelsey and Kim's moms teared up after receiving the framed photos. Is it wrong to get so much satisfaction from hearing that? :) Keep that in mind and call us for Mothers Day. We'll set up some tear-inducing photos for you, too.

Here's to 2011 and all the great things to come!

Annie, Katie, & Josh {Virginia Children Photography}

Each year, as Thanksgiving approaches, I'm reminded of how special familial bonds are. This is the second year that I've been invited into the Bellows' home in Virginia and had the chance to photograph their beautiful children, Annie, Katie, and Josh. I am loving this tradition! It's pretty cool to be able to document how these kids have grown and progressed over just one year.

Can't wait to share more of this family! Remember to hold your loved ones tightly this year. You can never give out too much xoxo, right? :)

Rejoice with your family in the beautiful land of life!

Merry Christmas!

Lots of love & joy to you and your family,

The Pretzler Family {Denver Family Photography}

Last month I had the pleasure of photographing an adorable family in one of my favorite towns in Colorado thus far, Evergreen, CO. Evergreen is a small, spread out, quiet mountain town where families build their homes along the stretches of mountainside. It is so picturesque! There's a lake at the center of the town towards all the shops/restaurants where they have different seasonal community events including ice skating during the holidays. I'm hoping we can photograph people skating along that lake with the mountain backdrop very soon! (hint hint: photo shoot contest idea??? :))

I met this particular family from Evergreen, The Pretzlers, while photographing there house so they could eventually put it on the market for sale. The house is a gorgeous Tuscany style home that sits atop a 35 acre ranch, snowcapped views, ponds, streams, and rolling hills. (I'm still saving my pennies so maybe one day I could make them an offer lol). Anyhoo, their home is the perfect location for a Colorado outdoor shoot and they were so gracious to invite me back to their place for a family shoot while there were still some golden Aspen leaves showing!

Hope these photos entice you to visit beautiful Evergreen. And book a family shoot! I would have loved to do something fun like this with my family growing up! I love how you can understand the big sister-little brother relationship through some of these. Ahhh I always remember being so annoyed by my little brothers when we were young, but looking back, life would definitely not have been as FUN without them!

Introducing The Pretzler Family...

Angela & Shaun engagement session {Denver Wedding Photographers}

We had the pleasure of photographing Angela & Shaun this month along with their cute little baby boy! I sometimes like to write in outline format because it reminds me of my school days and makes me feel young again...sigh...(another birthday hits Sept 6th people...I'm feeling old) so here goes amusing myself. English buffs, feel free to submit your gripes/corrections with my grammar in writing.

All you need to know about this session is right here in beautiful outline format:

I.  Angela & Shaun are a pretty dang cute couple.
    A. The way they played and interacted with their son was awesome to witness.
         1. I feel like I'm unable to use the word witness anymore without thinking of Lebron James (yuck).
II. Angela had some pretty awesome pumps.
    A. It was super cute to watch Shaun help Angela remove her heels everytime they got stuck between the wood planks of the bridge.
    B. The little man had some pretty awesome kicks as well.
         1. "Whatta man, whatta man, whatta man, what a mighty fine man....yes he isssssssss" (Salt n Pepa) should be this guys theme song?
III. The Platte River area in downtown is a pretty sweet location to photograph at. You've got your greenery, your urban/industrial look, and gorgeous bridges over the water to work with.
    A. Platte River gets two thumbs up in my book.
IV. I'm hoping I can become their future babysitter/photog of choice.
V. In conclusion, we loved the results from the shoot. You two are beautiful. Best of luck to your new life together and your cute little family.
    A. xoxo :)

A big thanks to Alexandra from Flawless, Timeless & Blue for sending this lovely couple our way!:)

Kimothy, signing out. You stay classy Denver.
