I think she was the happiest bride I’ve ever seen.  All day, right from the moment I first saw her, Kristin had a big smile on her face, and it was obvious that she was on cloud 9.  And why shouldn’t she have been?  After all, she was marrying the man of her dreams.  You probably remember Kevin and Kristin from their engagement pictures earlier this year.  I’m pleased to announce that their wedding was even more fun to photograph than their engagement shoot!  :)  They were married on 7/11 at the Lionsgate Events Center in Lafayette, Colorado.  I was totally prepared to be rained on all day, but as luck would have it, the clouds just gave us a beautiful backdrop for their gorgeous wedding.  I had such a blast with these two and their families!  I’m sad to say that I don’t have time to show you all of my favorites, but here is but a selection…

My wonderful friend Nicole came along for this wedding as well.  She had a LOT of really great shots, but this one of hers is my favorite:

In addition to being an absolute joy to photograph, I think Kristin and Kevin hired models to be a part of their wedding party.  It’s the only explanation for having that many beautiful people!

Rawr.

I’ve been busy working on a wedding and a senior session for you guys to see, but I have to take a break today…because it’s my son’s birthday!  Breckin (aka: Mr. Bean) is 1 today.  It seems silly to tell you how much I love him.  He’s my son!  Of course I love him.  But I really do.  I love that his favorite game is peek-a-boo.  I love that he has his dad’s eyes and his mom’s nose.  I love that his ears stick out the perfect amount from his head.  I love that his hair always stands straight up.  I could go on and on and on.  As a beginning teacher, it was no secret that I often struggled with boy students and discipline.  There might have been one or 2 girls who were a challenge, but really, it was always the boys in those first years.  I struggled to no end with the usual suspects, the class clowns…you know the type.  So, when I got the news that I was going to have a boy…I was worried.  I was worried that my son would be one of those boys…the kind that is popular, outgoing, a little bit of trouble, and tough to discipline.  I think it’s safe to say that this little guy probably is going to be all of those things, but I think it makes me love him more.

Happy birthday, Mr. Bean!  Your family loves you SO much.

If you’d like to tell Breckin happy birthday, leave a comment.  I’ll be sure to pass along the message!  :)

These last few weeks have been extremely busy for me, which has been such a blessing.  I feel so incredibly grateful that I get to take pictures and capture peoples’ memories for a living!  However, it was extremely rewarding to have the opportunity to photograph the newest member of my own family, Landry Jo.  She is absolutely adorable, and I’m absolutely thrilled for my brother Austin and his wife Jill.  They are great parents, and they’re so thrilled to have little Landry be a part of their family.  But, with how sweet she is, I’m not sure who wouldn’t be thrilled to have her around.  :)

Sweet Landry was only 6 days old at the time of our session.  I was so excited that I got to photograph her when she was still so new!  Those little babies change so quickly so it’s always very special to get to photograph them in the first 10 days after their birthday.

Austin and Jill…thank you so much for letting me come photograph your sweet little girl.  Love you guys!
