What's Hot in Clothing

LOVE this under Dad's button up shirt. LOve it any which way, actually.

How brilliant is this with boots? You can wear the pettiskirt with anything. Dresses up a Sunday dress ... and adds a funky edge to the rest. Claire just might be getting this soon. Very soon.

Check out their great ties!!!

Pictures: The Silly Wagon

One of my very favorite online clothing boutiques is the Silly Wagon. They have fantastic clothing that is unique, well made, and ... fresh.

When you want to dress your Littles in something a bit different. A bit special. Check them out!

Photographer Capturing the Birth ...

I came across this blog | website tonight that I had to share.

The photographer specializes in photographing births. Her gallery is just amazing. I love the idea of this because usually it is Dad with the camera ... who should be in the moment with Mom | holding the baby | talking to the Doc ...

So let someone like this capture all those moments for you. I just love this.

P.S. I didn't look to see where she is located, but I am sure there are others doing something similar?

What to dress her in for her portrait?

If you are into this sort of thing ... (I most definitely am!)

Oospy Daisy Baby is a site I oogle over. I have three different ones for you to use for portraits. But if you are the type that needs your own (ahem, I mean for your daughter), you can find them here: Oospy.

Baby Announcements

Beyond Red and Green is a company that does ... you guessed it! Cards. These are from their brand new line up ... and it makes me want another!

Inspiration for Clients ... and Me, too!

The world of photography is small. A lot smaller than you think. But that doesn't make it any less overwhelming! Where to find the BEST Holiday cards ... ideas of how to decorate your studio space ... your office space ... your mental space ... Who is the up and comer? The seasoned Pro? Where do you go for all things photography?

The Savvy Photographer. The site is ah=maz-ing. And not just for me. For you, too! Look at this:


Doesn't this idea just open up a whole new world over your sofa?! (It also makes me want that sofa!) "Ahhh, OK. 8x10 is not going to cut it if you want impact. If you want drama." This picture shows you why | how to get the look you want... and there's 6 different examples on the site.

Here's something brilliant. An office space designed on a budget. ALL of what is included in this storyboard was found at TARGET. If you visit the site, you will see a bunch more storyboards with different color palettes (this just happens to be "me.") Don't you just love when someone takes the work out of designing for you? And that aqua chair ... sigh. Love that chair.

Anyway, eye candy is always fun. But if you are into great photography (and I know you are!) or design, this is a really fun website to check out...

More tomorrow!

I love the frame display!

Latest Addition

I know I won't sleep tonight as I put together this project! This is a canvas showcasing 46 different images with different frames, different shapes, different orientations.

Absolutely fantastic.

This option will be available with canvas sizes 16x20 and above.

What an incredible way to see each and every proof you were presented with. No need to leave any behind!

Children's Photography Session | Parker CO | In the Moment Photography

It can be a bit intimidating to photograph a friend's family. I do get nervous, even when I shouldn't. That top picture just makes me SO HAPPY! Who doesn't love Peek a Boo?

Nerves keep me on my toes, though. My job was pretty easy with such photogenic subjects.
I mean, come on! Beau-ti-ful!



I love these kinds of shots. Probably because I love the look on his face and his Mama's rockin' jeans.

This one is my favorite.


And this one. This one for sure.

Family Photography Session | Parker CO | In the Moment Photography

I had so much fun with these guys. A total blast! This family was so much fun to hang out with. They were perfect at just "being," and I have the shots to prove it.


Can you believe she is due in a matter of weeks? Best looking pregnant Mama ever. She doesn't seem to have 35 pounds of "baby" all over her BODY like I do at that stage. Totally jealous of that Mama.

Totally.






So stinkin' cute. Cute. Cute! The boys were a blast and so happy just to be outside - free to roam. Well, free in the sense a crazed woman with a camera followed their every move. But still. Good sports, those sweet boys.


And this one, her Dad said, "She looks mad." Really?! I love that serious look on her face. Love it.

Sneak Peek | Denver Photographer | Child & Family

The other night was so much FUN! A family of 5 ... soon to be 6! They were up for anything and the kids were so, so fun, sweet ... and cute!

Pictures like this really make me realize how important it to capture the moment. Because, how long will she let you play peek a boo with her? How long until the boys are too big for a shoulder ride?

How long?

Sneak Peek | Denver Photographer | Child & Family

The sweetest little boy who is as smart as a whip. A precious baby girl who didn't love the tutu as much as Mama wanted her to ... a gorgeous Mom inside and out.

What a fun day! I can't wait to show you what I saw. It was beautiful.
