This is my absolute favorite image I have ever taken.  I feel a connection to it as a mom with two children.  This was not staged.  It is real life.  Real life with children.  Real life that does not stop to pose.  Real life is hard, is beautiful, is fun and is just plain unexpected. My favorite photographs are ones that tell a story with just one click.  I am so grateful that my lovely client allowed me to put this image here.  I love this family as they are amazing clients (that have become friends) that have trusted me to take their images again and again.  That is the best compliment ever and has made it where because of that they allow me to capture images I love just as much as they do.

Newborns are so sweet.

 We molded him into his parent’s Nambe silver bowl on their dining room table.

So many images to post from this newborn and family session in Denver…full posts coming soon.

I was lucky to meet another new beautiful baby a few weeks ago. His family was so lovely and his mobile was too cute. More to come from this shoot soon.

To be a member of the WPJA (Wedding Photojournalist Association) is already so wonderful. In order to be a member, an artist has to adhere to photojournalism and have “a distinctly artistic vision toward wedding photography,”  have a portfolio review and then be accepted.  Every quarter, members from around the world can submit a small amount of their favorite images to be judged by a panel of the finest wedding & photojournalism photographers.  Never did I expect to ever win an award.  After being in the WPJA for less than a year now, I was shocked and incredibly honored to see that one of my images had placed in the top ten for a category (9th place for Details found).  I can only imagine how many images the judges went through and to be among amazingly talented photographers from around the world. I am floored and so elated. Thank you to the beautiful bride, Liana.

I love documenting life. I love documenting weddings. I love that our clients trust to let us capture their moments through our point of view. I love that I am lucky to have an amazing husband & talented artist as a partner. We are honored to have amazing clients. This award is the cherry on top.

I just wanted to share this moment of happiness on the lifestyle portrait blog.
