Handsome Boy – Washington Park Portraits for Stylish Families

(You can always follow me on Instagram and/or Facebook, where I tend to post a bit more often.) Today, I have time to quickly post just one image from a recent family session in Washington Park. The family portraits are AMAZING, but for this first posting I decided to do it of their 8 year old boy. His big sisters and his mother are beyond beautiful – like drop dead gorgeous. And of course lovely and stylish women – they have it all! And Dad is super handsome and very nice. Oh! And super connected in all the ways it matters if you are shooting @ 6am @ Wash Park, when the city tends to water the landscaping. Speaking of, have you seen the flower beds @ Washing Park, the ones near the boathouse? They make me a Sad Panda. I know what happened is that the Spring/Summer hail decimated the flowers there. But I sure do miss the lovely flowers that usually grow there;-( Back to this kiddo –  I worry that when I post the entire family photo, the ladies’ beauty might eclipse how handsome and cute this boy is, in his own right. So his portrait goes up first. (Anyone recognize that tree trunk? It must be the most famous and photographed tree @ Washington Park.) Meet Mr Personality: (oh, I can’t wait to share his “zoolander” look in a future posting.)

Best Bag Ever (Family Portraits in Red Rocks, Golden, Colorado)

CF card wallets and specially padded cases for our lenses. Basically anything that allows you to transport your stuff and access it easily while you are on the go.  I really believe that having just the right bag (from a functional perspective), with a few key/relevant items,  will make any endeavor easier. When I travel, about 20% of my suitcase has the various bags I think I might need at my destination. I was so thrilled a few years back when a friend of mine started working at Ebags. Yea, that’s what you call an obsession. And here is the story how I came to find my newest favorite bag: Last fall I had the honor to photograph Jennifer’s family. All my photography clients get detailed preparation tips, so she knew to bring a change of clothes, a few accessories for herself, and her son’s favorite sports balls. This is quite a bit of stuff, and you want an easy way to gather it together, carry it, and also easily access just what you want without digging through a dark bag.  They love Red Rocks, so that’s where we met for their family photo session. Unlike my Denver studio or a few favorite local parks, where I typically meet families for portraits, Red Rocks had us hiking very far from our cars.  Sounds like just the job for a good bag, right? 😉 As soon as she showed up with this Thirty One Gifts Large Utility Tote, I knew I HAD to get one (or two or three…well, Ok, I ordered four, but some of them in smaller sizes!) It comes in different colors, it’s $35, and you can personalize it with your name (for an additional fee.)  I use one for my newborn session props, and we use another as our pool bag. Click HERE to order your own. During the Month of May, you get to order a second one for $10.   Best Tote Bag Ever from 31 Gifts
