an artist true…{art for sale!}

lynn is one of the sweetest souls i know.  and she is an artist true.  she radiates color, light and art in everything she does.

i’ve known her for quite a few years now and have seen her deal with some very difficult times in the past.  and despite everything her smile and her amazing laugh remain.  i love being around her now… there is a sweet and comforting light that surrounds her and her art.  i am so excited for where she is going with her creations.

so when she asked me to photograph her new pieces i jumped at the chance.

she paints these beautiful large pieces (also for sale if interested) and then makes them into fun, one-of-a-kind wearable art!

i wear my necklaces proudly (i own two) and wanted to feature them on my blog. she is offering a special this month where each piece sells for $35 plus tax (regularly $45)

simple days….ice cream days…

as a photographer, an artist and a mom i adore simple days.  i find such strong meaning in everyday experiences and feel like my photography is moving in that direction.  i feel such strong passion about documenting our lives as they unfold rather than primping and posing for portraits.

i’d LOVE someone to contact me to document some everyday moments.  and i’d even be willing to offer a BIG discount for purchasing such sessions.  the artist in me craves it!

so here’s ours.  we had an early release day this week.  it was so beautiful outside and i’d just gotten some much needed good news so we went out for ice cream to celebrate.  so many smiles and so much laughter.  sometimes i think we forget these moments most of the time and concentrate on the BIG things in life.  but to me–it’s always the small moments that are biggest in the end.

check out what some ice cream did for us and how we celebrated a simple day.

i dare you to set up a simple day shoot for your family.  i’m ready and willing.






























12-12-12 update on 2-1-13…. {denver birth photographer}

life has been so swift lately for me.  for lots of reasons but no valid excuses not to post what i do best….photos!

take a look back a few weeks ago if you don’t remember this post: 12-12-12:

a few days before my personal abdominal surgery (not to extract a beautiful baby i might add) i got to spend some time with one of my VERY favorite families…..and their newest little one to follow up on my 12-12-12 blog post.

i waited a few days to zip over to the hospital hoping to avoid the crowds and to get some simple sweet time with just darcy, ryan and the baby.  and my timing was perfect (aside from not getting to see big brother inevitably swooning over his new baby sis).  the calm and peace that surrounds this family is so addictive.  i so enjoy watching their sweet glances and smiles and hearing the fun stories that connected them and connect them still.  it was perfect.  just us, the new baby and the lovely smells of fresh cut flowers filling the most charming of birthing suites.

a perfect afternoon spent with the loveliest of families.

OUR black and white christmas (with a bit of color and a lot of light)…

it’s been a rough christmas and a blessing of one at the same time. i feel surrounded with love and that has been pure magic.

but this year’s images will remain black and white and even a bit grainy…as that i just how i want to remember them.

thanks for a wonderful year of business and personal relationships. over the past year…”i have taken the road less traveled–and that has made all the difference.” i am wishing all a wonderful, happy and healthy new year. thanks to ALL who have reached out to our family with kindness and friendship during this time of crisis. i am humbled and so so grateful for your kindnesses. you know who you are!

(and on a personal note: shelley–to the most selfless, giving and loving sister in the world–the light you spread to us this holiday season will last for years. i love you more than words can ever convey.)

a ‘colorful’ gray day…{littleton family photographer}

a few days before my surgery i had a little LOT of fun with my camera with this family.

of course as a photographer i adore overcast days and the light is casts. but this day was especially gray. and that turned out to be just perfect for the bright colors and smiles from this group. they made me laugh–which is just what i needed. looking at the photos now i still have a huge smile on my face from the fun we had.

hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. thanks for trusting me to be your family photographer each year!

happy 2013!

cheers,
