Wow – still trying to catch up with posting my favorites from last year…..Here’s another one. I love that smile! For those who saw the “Studio Tour” posting, this was taken in the “Sunshine Room.”
Did you know that shy children often feel more comfortable if you give them something to hold during photos? It just has to be something that will look good in the photo! 😉

Here’s another of my favorite portraits from my last Holiday Mini Sessions for kids.
This little girl likes trucks, her favorite color is blue and she has a smile that will met your heart!
She also recently became a big sister – I think that’s pride I see in her eyes!
Broomfield portait client’s final art, hanging in their home.
Last last year, local Broomfield Mamma Jenny bid and won a photo session with me at a local charity auction.
About two weeks after a portrait session, I meet my clients in my North Denver studio to share their final portrait gallery in a lovely movie format, set to music. As you know from my studio tour, I’ve got comfty couches, beer, wine and soda, as well as a playroom if the kiddos come along. This Move Premier lets portrait clients see all their images in their full resolution glory, as well as allows me to assist them in selecting their favorite images for wall art, albums, and gifts for family members.
Jenny and I had set up the viewing appointment for 5:30pm on a weekday, not really thinking about rush hour traffic. We each encountered traffic getting there (note to self: no more appointments during evening rush hour), but we decided that some wine would take care of that…..I even had a really nice bottle of red ready. And then…TRAGIC! I couldn’t find the wine opener anywhere! Argghhh. At least we managed to open the sparkling cider for her girls. And I have since made sure we have two! wine openers in the studio kitchen.
With our non-wine drinks (tragic!), we settle into the couches and chairs and I start their Preview Movie. This super cool and fun Mamma started tearing up at the first image (which is normal – most Mammas tear up when they are seeing portraits of their precious children.) But then her reaction was even better….. by the third image, she leaned forward with this look of..joy and disbelief. It looked like she was in shock at how stunning her girls’ portraits were! I was smiling from ear to ear!
The adorable girls, well they loved being “movie stars” but I think their favorite was the playroom @ my studio with an Xbox, or perhaps it was the Martinellis apple cider they got to sip out of wine glasses.
After much discussion about which images to get for her wall collage, I helped her select her final portraits. And here, without further ado, is the iphone snapshot she sent me of the final wall. Isn’t it wonderful?
A word of advice for my fellow Denver parents – get your grocery shopping done today! Tomorrow and Wed are going to be crazy crazy @ the grocery stores.
I went yesterday during the Denver Broncos game (yay Peyton! 39-36 over Miami), which is usually a quiet time to go, but it was packed!
Ok, my PSA for Denver parents is done, and now on to my posting:
I love this detail/behind the scenes shot from my recent Holiday Mini Sessions for kids.
That’s me in the center, reflected in the holiday ornament.
Any of my fellow photogs laugh when they happen to catch a photo or a reflection of what they look like while shooting? I am always amazed at how much I bend down, lean over, etc. No wonder my back hurts after a few hours. Esp if I’m using Thor (my 2.8 70-200)
Anyway, I just love all the sparkly silver in this scene! One of my very favorite clients commented over on my FB page that this will be a fun photo to look back on once I have retired.
I responded, “Didn’t you know? Photographers never retire, they just loose their focus.” 😉

Boulder and Broomfield have a nice dusting of snow today. Perfect weather to share this lovely holiday portrait of the most beautiful little baby girl.
As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, we created a variety of sets for this year’s Holiday Mini Sessions for kids.
Here’s a photo from one the mini sessions, on the set that ended up being the most popular.
Doesn’t this little girl have the most lovely eyes?
