This summer has gone by so fast! Perhaps the saddest part of the turning season was my brother's departure back to school in Orange County, California. It was wonderful having him here with us. Eric and I love him so very much and we were sad to see him go yesterday but we know he is off to do incredible things! Zach is a film student at Chapman University and a gifted filmmaker he is! We couldn't help but get some shots of him (and his camera too!) the other night.
We hadn't known Marisa and Randy very long before the phrase "made for each other" popped in my head. There was something about the way the held each other, the way they walked together and the way they laughed at each other that was truly breath taking. We met them at their cute home, which is adjacent to an elementary school's playground. We had to take advantage of the gorgeous open spaces and massive trees. Then we met up in old town Fort Collins where we strolled around and found many beautiful backdrops. Marisa, Randy... thanks for spending the afternoon with us. I hope these photographs truly capture your amazing energy.
Although we did this shoot back in January I felt that Amy's beautiful face deserved a post. We were so lucky to have such a lovely woman as our model. Her classic beauty is undeniable and her wonderful personality certainly shines through. What a gift! Thanks Amy, you were a joy to photograph.
Earlier this year we got to work with the coolest three kids, Meghan, Nick and Tessa. We played in a field in Severence, Colorado. It was still a little chilly out but they were such good sports. We were able to get some great shots thanks to some bright smily faces and a bouquet of red balloons.
Just look at that smile! A few weeks ago Eric and I had the delightful opportunity to photograph Little Miss Cecilia. What a doll! A bubbly and cooing baby, she definitely kept us moving. We had so much fun capturing her special little spirit. She reminded me of a cabbage patch doll with her cute dimple, just on one cheek. It was a beautiful day, although I believe we were all 'pushing' the season... ready to wear flip flops and our shades. Even Cecilia was wearing her itty-bitty sandals, and what a wardrobe that girl had! Mom had fun playing dress up with all of Cecilia's precious little dresses. However, nothing was as adorable as her big purple bow.
Spring is upon us… or so they say. The vernal season is apparently in bloom with the passing of the equinox. However, with the weather we’ve been having it seems these past few days have called for hot chocolate and a cozy fire as opposed to lemonade and one’s hands toiling in a planter box. The snow fallings have found me house bound and anxious for an out of doors excursion minus the wool coat. There was a glow, a ray of light, if you will, that made its way through the clouds the other day. It whispered to me until I picked up my camera and decided to catch it. This time my beautiful mother played the muse. We played around the house and in the barren backyard, which is also waiting for what spring will bring. In the frigid desert that was this Colorado afternoon we captured our little ray of light. And what a metaphor I discovered once I uploaded my photos because I found my most luminous glow to be my mother… for she is one of my true rays of light.
