You may remember this cutie from past blog posts last October and last January. Heather is one of my oldest best friends, and to all my besties, I give them a portrait session as their baby present – which we did in January. She wanted more as Khalil grew, so she and her husband, Darwin, hired me while I was in Chicago to shoot another session.
Khalil is a baby of a 1,000 expressions. He started walking at 8 1/2 months and is already testing his parents patience. He knows what he wants and is on the go at all times. Although sometimes he annoys his older brother, Matias, he’s too adorable to stay mad at for long. And seriously – how freaking cute is he with that curly blonde hair? He’s more tan than I’ve ever been in my life!
Heather makes motherhood look easy, which I know is not true. I am so lucky to get to watch this family grow into its own.

Double trouble with these two! Just kidding – I had so much fun chasing after 18-month-old twins, Daniel and Kenzie. They have such distinct personalities that (I hope) shine through in these photos. Kenzie is a determined little girl – knows what she wants and isn’t going to let anyone stop here, least of all her mom! Daniel is a bit more of a mellow, go with the flow kind of guy. They are definitely loved big time by their parents, Sue and John. Thanks for letting me capture a slice of your busy life!

Anna, aka Lil’ Miss Blue Eyes, is a happy 3 1/2 month old baby who just loves being cuddled and snuggled and loved on by her parents, Sean and Sarah (who’s Denver wedding I shot 2 years ago). She is such a cute baby – smiling at her parents being goofballs and then she finally had enough (as any of us would have).
It was a challenging first month or two as Sean and Sarah adjusted to having this new being in their life, but it seems they’ve now gotten the hang of it and are going to be wonderful parents. Sean’s mom was visiting, so we snuck in a few photos of her with her first grandchild.
Anna, you are one lucky girl with a family who adores you. Click to view Anna’s gallery






My lens lost its focus, but I like the dreamy quality of this image.

Kathleen is one of my besties – it was friendship at first sight our first week at college when we met each other with our messy ponytail buns on the top of our heads ala Marge Simpson. Her husband, Steve, is a giant sweetheart and their 6-month-old son, William, is cute enought to almost make me want a kid of my own. I said ALMOST guys.
I was home in the Chicago ‘burbs for my grandma’s 90th birthday (post on that later) and went over to Kath’s house for the portrait session. We had a lot of fun – the three were naturals. This family can’t take a bad picture. Thanks for making my job easy guys!

I used to work with Stella’s aunt, Emily, who bought a portrait session with me to give to her sister as a birthday present. I then found out that I go to the same church as Stella and her parents, Liz and Tom. Denver really amazes me how small it is sometimes!
Stella has these huge, beautiful eyes (just like her mom) and is a very happy baby. As soon as her dad starts playing with her, she gets the biggest grin on her face. It really is adorable to watch.
Lucky for me, I’ll get to watch Stella grow up on Sundays. What a cutie! Click to see the rest of Stella’s gallery.



Doesn’t this look like a Design Within Reach ad? (you know, the place with the cool chairs?)



Now that’s a happy baby…


And that is the look of a mother’s love on Liz’s face

Time for a nap…
