My Three Sons/Colorado Children’s Photographer

One of new favorite clients lives right in my neighborhood. Hope Cassel is an ob-gyn and mother to 3 fantastic boys.  She is so great with them and lets them be, well them. Their smiles really were the sweetest when she was around, and I think it is a testament to just how much they adore her.

I have gotten to have a portrait session with 2 of them at a local park and I  am anxious to get her oldest on the other-side of my lens as soon as we can fit it in to her busy schedule. (She is in the process of opening her new office which I have no doubt will be very successful.  She is a great mix of knowledge and compassion!)

The boys and I  had fun exploring and getting to know each other. One of them is in the same kindergarten class as my daughter and the other is in the same grade as my son.

Here is “H” her youngest, he had a skateboard and the most practical way I’ve ever seen to ride it ……

And her sweet middle child “G” who was really into leaf collecting while on our shoot :)

Soccer Pics-Colorado Youth Sports Photographer




These are C’s soccer portraits.

He has been on the same  team for 2 seasons now.

They are called the Pirates, and there are some really great kids on this team.

A good team atmosphere makes all the difference – win or lose.

Sunday Family Fun with Go Carts – Colorado Family Photographer

A new indoor Go-Cart track has opened up by us.

C was so excited,  just look how big his eyes are …

My hubby was a little excited himself…

Poor little Beauty was not tall enough to ride or drive yet…


But first they had to wait their turn for the track….

C was up first, with 3 other “little” boys…


He pushed that pedal to the floor and was off… and he was awesome!

Then it was the “big”  boys turn…

A wave for his adoring fans ….

The boys had a great time. I had fun taking pics and cheering them on.


As for Beauty… try not to feel too sad for poor Beauty.

She got to go shopping for a new dress after lunch!

Winter Time Gamer – colorado family photographer


It has been cold and generally not fun to be outside (unless you are on the mountain)  as of late.

C has been immersed in the world of personal video games.

He plays soccer in the spring, swims and goes to sports camp in the summer, and resumes soccer again in the fall.

But this time of year is rough on outdoor sports.

He makes a weekly appearance in Karate class, but the usual afternoons spent at our park just don’t happen when it is this cold.

After a long day at school he really enjoys zoning out with the video game for a little “me/down” time…. 7 year old style!

Look at his concentration :)

Valentine Beauty – Colorado family photographer

Here she is, sassy little smile and all.

It took a little bribe of some Valentines candy, but I got her to pose.

Valentines are the best, they feel like a little hug.

Nothing beats a personalized card, and with a photo it is perfection !


Happy Valentines Day!

My Little Heart Breaker – Colorado family photographer

Handsome isn’t he?

He says I am his Valentine and that Daddy has to share me.

Soon enough there will be other Valentines,  but for now it is just me……

School Days


I spent some time this morning at Beauty’s preschool.

She works so hard and I am proud of the progress she is making.

As I watched her I noticed something… all her work, pictures and paintings are done in just one color—hot pink.

She is a girl who knows what she likes, that is for sure.


Too Cold To Play

I know it is only January , but enough with the cold already.

My kids are dying for some outdoor activity.

We tried going out this afternoon, but quickly changed our minds.

I need the fresh air for my sanity, so do my kids.

But when it is so cold the fresh air actually makes you gasp, that is no good either.
