...Here are just a few of the sweet and adorable kiddos I photographed today...
...I am quite exhausted:)...I think I photographed about 40 kids in 2.5 hours...
...And, I don't usually post any fundraisers I am a part of or donate to as it is my personal belief that giving should be that-giving, but I thought I would share this one as I would love to help raise awareness for this school as it will be here for a long time and it is a part of our community...
...The Riverhouse Children's Center is a non-profit school for children up to 5 years old.  It is a wonderful school and I adore the teachers and staff that work there.  And since they are non-profit, they rely solely on grants, donations, fundraising and tuition to allow the school have the best learning environment with the best teachers & staff available. Early childhood education is SO important and we need to foster education in our lovely town as much as we can to maintain the already amazing people and families that are here. This school really does need the community to take notice to help it reach it goals...If you would like more information on how to help, please contact the school (click here) to see how you can help.
...I feel so lucky to live in a community that has so many wonderful pre-k schools & families that focus so much on the importance of early childhood education...Durango is so amazing...

**To the families~I will have these ready soon...I had a hard time just posting a few!!  They were all WAY too sweet!**

...little ~n~ and her family are so wonderful...
...I will share more from their session soon...

...

...From December 21st through some time the first week in January 2010, I will be taking time off to spend time with my family & enjoy the holidays...
...I will still be checking e-mails and listening to messages for any emergencies or newborn sessions along with regular session appointments, but will not be returning messages until after January 4th (unless it is something that needs to be attended to right away)...
...I am booking into February 2010 at the moment with a couple spaces left in January...So, please contact me to schedule your appointment if you would like to get in with me next month...Winter sessions are SO fun...
...Have a beautiful holiday and Happy New Year!...
...p.s. Keep on the lookout for new blog posts over the next few weeks as I will be posting some special images as well as dates for mini-sessions & much much more...

Lots and lots of love!

xoxo-heidi

How adorable is this family! These boys were so great and I was in awe of how calm the parents were...Some days I am an absolute train-wreck with just my two girls, so it was so great to see a close family with such calm parents to three boys!...I have to find out just how they do it...:)

...I love that they chose me!  It was a great afternoon and I am so glad we got the session in before the snow came...Phew!

I look forward to showing them their entire gallery.

*the last photo makes me giggle & just had to share*

...I love this family!...And I am so glad & honored they chose me to take their photos...
...~Little m~ is just about the cutest one year old boy and has the most amazing blue eyes...
...And we had the best weather for the photo shoot with the leaves managing to hang on just one more day so we could get that beautiful golden glow...love that...
...And well, I thought I had a great job...but ~little m's~ parents may have me beat...
...They own Southwest Adventure Guides where they offer guided courses and expeditions all over the world...a-m-a-z-i-n-g...
...Take a look at their site to see all the have to offer...It makes me want to learn to ice climb and go on a skiing expedition to the French/Swiss Alps...
...Now THAT is a cool job...
