Lil' Rascals Preschool - Part 5

And finally, the great educators at Lil' Rascals, Cindy and Mickey. Thank you ladies for letting me be a part of these children's lives. They are a blessing.

Lil' Rascals Preschool - Part 3

Brother and sister. As if you couldn't tell! Too sweet.

Lil' Rascals Preschool - Part 2

More cuties!

Lil' Rascals Preschool - Part 1

This is the third year I've photographed the kiddos at Lil' Rascals. This week we will see some of their portraits. (Back to blogging regularly!)

Miller Family - Part 3

And finally, their main family portrait. Enjoy.

Miller Family - Part 2

Here is another. Daddy and Son.

Miller Family

Before the Miller family left Cortez, I had the opportunity to photograph them to help them remember their times here. We will have a few of these this week.
Sure do miss you guys!!!

Hannah & Taylor - Part 2

Today is Taylor's portrait. She never enjoys getting her portrait done. She gets very sober as soon as the camera, but sober or not, I feel this is a beautiful reflection of who she is.

Hannah & Taylor - Part 1

Every year I am blessed to photograph my friend's twin girls for their birthday. Today is Hannah's portrait.
Enjoy.

Janeth - Part 5

And finally, probably my favorite of the group. She looks wonderful and it just shows what a great place we live. We are blessed!

Janeth - Part 4

Intense eyes. Love it!
P.S. Happy birthday, Dad. A great father and mentor. Love you.

Janeth - Part 3

And another. We really had a fun time!

Janeth - Part 2

Here is another. Isn't she gorgeous? She has the most beautiful hair I've seen.

Janeth - Part 1

I missed putting this up yesterday! Thought I had pre-posted for all this week, but I didn't. OOOPPPS!
This week we are going to look at Janeth's senior session. Janeth and Lauren (last week's senior) are very good friends. It was so much fun creating different looks for them when the both had a lot of the same ideas.
Enjoy.

Lauren - Part 3

This is what her mom ordered. I think she will look back at this in the future and be able to remember the different aspects of her daughter. Gorgeous!

Lauren - Part 2

Here is another from Lauren's session. Quite playful!

Lauren

A couple weeks ago, I photographed Lauren. As you can tell, she is BEAUTIFUL! We had a great time. This week we will look at her images. Enjoy.

Lawson Family

When Chris and I got engaged, I always loved to hear stories of couples married for many years. Mr. and Mrs. Lawson are a great example. Next month they will be celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary. Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your celebration by commemorating this special time with a beautiful portrait.

Dr. Karen Libsch

Earlier this week, I photographed our primary care physican, Dr. Libsch. Like most adults, she wasn't too gung-ho about getting photographed, but I think as you can see, the end result was great!
Cortez will not be the same when she moves in a couple months. I am so glad that she was our doctor with Amita's birth. She is a wonderful and caring doctor. IRREPLACEABLE!

The Gustafson Family - Part 5

And last but not least, I also photographed Wilda's children together. I think you can really see their relationship in these portraits. Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

The Gustafson Family - Part 4

And here they are with Grandma & Grandpa. What a lovely family. Thank you Remetha for your desire to do this portrait. I was happy to be a part of capturing your family!

The Gustafson Family - Part 3

Now for the portrait of the grandkids all together.

The Gustafson Family - Part 2

Today we'll look at Carl Jr's family. SInce they don't live in the area, I enjoyed getting to know them at the session on the Dolores River. What cute kids!

The Gustafson Family

This summer, I had the opportunity to photograph all the Gustafson grandchildren and each of the family groups. Today, we'll be looking at Wilda's family portraits. I have had the opportunity to get to know Wilda and her children at church. They are a wonderful family and I couldn't find nicer kids for my children to be around. I feel blessed having you all a part of my life!

Rylee - Part 4

And finally, my favorite of the group. Very dramatic!

Rylee - Part 3

This one was inspired by some of my dad's work. (However I could probably say that about a lot of my stuff!)

Rylee - Part 2

Here is another...

Rylee - Part 1

I photographed Rylee for a photogenic category at a teen pageant in Denver. This week I will be showing the four portraits she took with her to the pageant. Hope it went great Rylee. You are a beautiful girl, inside and out.

Maurice - Part 3

And finally...

Maurice - Part 2

And another...

Maurice - Part 1

Back in March I was on the hunt for some senior reps. Here is Maurice, another one of those reps. We had a great time working together on these portraits.

Denelle

Earlier this month I photographed Denelle Eknes for a business portrait. Denelle is a local resident who does energy healing. She is about to embark on a new venture implementing energy healing as an alternative health care possibility for those who are injured. Denelle has a wonderful spirit and was a joy to work with. I hope you can see her healing spirit in her eyes in this portrait. If energy balancing is something you are interested in, you can contact Denelle at denelle.eknes@gmail.com. As her business card says, "Be Well".

Belt Family - Part 5

And finally, Alisa and Kelly together.

Belt Family - Part 4

Here is another family portrait.

Belt Family - Part 3

Here is another of the family. This has become one of my signature looks for families with little ones. (Especially active little ones!)

Belt Family - Part 2

Alisa wanted an intimate portrait of her, her husband and their 10 month old daughter. I feel we really accomplished that with this one.

Belt Family - Part 1

This week we will be looking at my session I did with the Belt Family. They were so much fun to photograph! What cute kiddos.

2010 Seniors

As you can tell by the portraits of Ronni, we had a great time during her session. If you have a teenager who is about to be a senior, or know someone who will be graduating in 2010, be sure to tell them about this blog.
Have a great weekend everyone.

Ronni - Part 4

And this was my favorite of the group. Just LOVE her eyes!

Ronni - Part 3

This was her favorite of the group. So playful! Just love it!

Ronni - Part 2

Here is another one...

Ronni - Part 1

Ronni is one of my 2010 Senior reps at M-CHS. We really had a great time at her session as you will see this week.
Enjoy!

Facebook and Myspace Portraits - Part 3

Wrapping up the facebook and myspace portraits are some individuals. You might be asking, "why the black and white?" Well, for good reason. Before I photograph someone for a full session, we sit down and do a design consultation where we discuss clothing and other things. Of course for the facebook portraits, we didn't have a design consultation so I converted everyone to black and white to take away all the clothing distractions. Hope you have enjoyed them.
If you are on facebook or myspace, find me and let's be "friends!"
