Okay, this is a long post, but I couldn't help myself as there were too many adorable photos of this little fashionista.  Her mom's pearls entertained her most of the shoot, which doesn't surprise me as her mom loves creating beautiful jewelry, but her dad might be in for a bit of trouble as I see her wanting an extensive jewelry collection very soon:).

What girl doesn't love fabulous accessories?!

I love that my daughters kissed my cheeks for this image.  I love that they actually listened to what the photographer asked them to do. Trust me, this is a rarity for these two little munchkins to listen to one of us on the first request.  I was so proud.  They probably didn't listen for the rest of the day, but at least they did for that one millisecond so I could have a photo that will last me a lifetime.

Thank you to my talented husband, Daniel, for taking this photo. He is an amazing artist, the best husband and a wonderful father to our girls.

I love this family.

Sweet ~m~ is already fabulous at being a big sister.  She was so gracious and let her new baby sister have the limelight. Here are a few of my favorite images from the photo shoot.  It took place in Durango (right before we moved our family to Denver). And I secretly like to think that little ~e~ came early just so I could photographer her right before the move. Ha! But in reality, she more than likely came as she knew she was causing her mom's body a bit (okay, more than a bit) of discomfort and it was just time.  I am very happy I got to meet her so soon after her birth day. Big hugs to this beautiful family.

Where do I even begin?
I love this family so much and am so honored they wanted me to come all the way to them in Ruidoso, New Mexico, to photograph their sweet new son. Words cannot even describe how I feel about this & the time spent with them, so I will keep it simple and let the photos speak at how sweet the day was.
These are a few of my favorites. More to come in their private gallery.
love.love.love

I love that I get to watch my clients grow up.  I have had the privilege of photographing little ~m~ for over the past year and love love love seeing how much she is learning and how her personality is evolving.  She is such a sweetheart. These are some of my favorite images from her mini-session.

Enjoy.

...sigh...
Welcome into the world little ~i~.
I have had the honor of photographing her older sister and parents last year, so it was such a joy to hear they were expecting again.
And what a perfect addition to the sweetest family.
My heart just melted at this adorable 5 day old and I enjoyed this photo shoot (in Durango) so very much.

To little ~i~'s parents, I hope you love this sneak peek...more to see in your full gallery soon...

This oh-so-sweet one month old was just a joy to photograph.
Her adorable big brother made the session very entertaining too. 
While mom, an amazing yoga instructor, rocked his sister to sleep, he created a masterpiece: a portrait of me taking photos. 
I was amazed at his talent and all the other drawings he had on display at home. 
The one below was just "in progress" as the final one had even more thoughtful details...(don't you just love the yellow hair and Nikon logo:))...
I enjoyed this family immensely...
And I can't wait to show them the full gallery.
