We had an absolutely wonderful time as a family enjoying a small town celebration on the 4th of July in Durango, Colorado.  There was so much going on that day throughout the town that we could hardly decide what to do.  We finally went out to eat, watched the parade, went to the street dance and listened to music, then watched fireworks from downtown.  It was definitely a spectacular fireworks display too.  By far the best Durango has put on…ever.  Nice job Durango!  We were very impressed.

Daniel documented our day of fun as a family.

Blu is THE fabulous clothing boutique in Durango, Colorado.

This was a shoot for their website portfolio and marketing materials.  It also showcased the gorgeous Nina and the generations of her family members and their style.

It was fun to work on this with Nina and her Blu girls.   She has created a lifestyle following and it is perfect for Durango as she brings a world-traveler vantage point to her boutique.  She and her team always showcase beautiful Blu-girls around the world in their athletic and fun endeavors.

Nina is a giver of style, her passion, and her time.  She also participates in Richard Branson’s  Virgin Unite.

Blu’s philosophy says it all:

“We are small town fashionistas bringing chic style to the mountains. Contemporary fashion is our trend.  Premium denim is our obsession.  We play outside.  We give back through charity.  And we do all this with a glass of wine in hand.  Our store is located in the heart of Durango, Colorado and offers only the best for our Blu girls.”

While I catch up on blog posts from family sessions from last year through now, I will also be posting snippets of recent sessions and our life.

Over Memorial weekend, Durango is in full swing with the Iron Horse Bicycle Classic along with loads of fun things to do for families.

We decided to take the girls to the carnival and it was a blast.

We had so much fun and Daniel documented the girls and I having fun.

Here is the link to the old children’s blog if you want to peruse the years past.

I have been wanting a new lifestyle blog design {featuring my children & family clients} for a while now. This year seemed perfect for the change. It feels that I need to evolve once again while still maintaining our aesthetic, but progress to something that makes our photography shine. We hope you like the new look.  It is not that different, but just a few tweaks here & there to make it more ours. If you don’t want to have time going to the years of work on the old blog, then the video is a little glimpse into the past year at least. We have a portfolio to peruse too, but the blogs ( wedding & art blog & old blogs ) show so many more images.
