Colorado family portrait
      Heather, Eloise, and Leon, with Rubix the dog
      Cripple Creek, Colorado
      November 13, 2009

      Last week I photographed this fun and fabulous family up in Cripple Creek. 2009 has been a huge year for Heather and Leon, with the completion of their dream house in the mountains, and the arrival of gorgeous Eloise. I was happy to be able to help them document such an important year!

      I LOVE this one. I want to eat this photograph.


      Eloise is very attached to her grandmother, Julie, and the two of them spend a lot of time rocking together with Paris by their side.

      I am in love with this family!! Eloise has the most beautiful little face and her sweet little head of hair takes my breath away with its cuteness.

      It goes without saying that the house is insanely amazing!!!! Great photos!

      That last photo is the icing on the cake, Charlotte.

      Beautiful, as always.

      These photos are amazing. The family is beautiful, and that house is extraordinary.

      What an amazing house! WOW. And the one with the baby and the pug is precious!

      aw I also love the one where she’s grabbing her feet! and wow your clients have a GORGEOUS home!!

      All photos are excellent. The last photo is one of most impressive and touching images dedicated to the adoption I’ve ever seen.

      So BEAUTIFUL! I am so impressed w/ these pictures of all of u guys. So wonderful.Give Eloise hugs &kisses from her “girls” in Ohio.

      All photos are excellent. The last photo is one of most impressive and touching images dedicated to the adoption I’ve ever seen.

      The coolest part is that they designed their house themselves. Truly impressive.

      I can’t remember what kind of dog Paris is, sorry! I asked, but it has slipped my mind.

      Sure, you’re welcome to link to it, thanks.

      I love your pictures so much!

      And I love their house, adorable daughter, and pug too!

      Many thanks 🙂

      Rubix with Eloise! I cannot handle the cuteness.

      I love babies AND Pugs! Beautiful as always:)

      Love the pics…what a cute family. That baby is ADORABLE. And that house!!! I want.

      Paris is an English Shepherd (border collie) most are black and white; she is a clear sable and white; she herds.

      Amazing shots…

      but

      …THAT HOUSE IS GORGEOUS WHEN CAN I MOVE IN?

      Actually, that house seems inspired by the Denver Art Museum, New Addition — any idea who designed it? Beautiful pics, anyway . . . .

      This is a beautiful set!

      Oh my goodness! Talk about DREAM house!

      You did a wonderful job!

      Beautiful pictures. Their house looks awesome.

      OMG..

      what gorgeous photos of a gorgeous family & home.

      ok, so the HOUSE… i’m drooling over here! lol.

      and this one… http://charlottegeary.smugmug.com/photos/715428457_HwHGV-O.jpg
      is my absolute fave. that should be in a magazine and blown up huge on canvas!

      and that wall in their bedroom?? so freakin’ awesome!!

      Lovely family, excellent aesthetics. Lovely puggy, too!

      Round rooms are the best. I managed to begin a conversation with a librarian at one of the archives at which I was researching by saying: “your office is AWESOME!!! Round rooms and curved windows are so COOL!”

      And I don’t usually gush, but this was the “woah!” factor for me.

      oh my gosh…

      what a beautiful family!

      what lovey dogs!

      Amazing passion in your photos as always!

      Look at that round office! That’s so amazing! If you like architectural photos, i’d ask to go back and photograph the whole house. It’s stunning!

      Any idea what kind of dog Paris is? She looks nearly identical to our dog and we have no idea what she is.

      What a great looking family and you can see how much they love thier little girl. I adore that last photo

      Beautiful house, beautiful child, beautiful family. 🙂

      Oh my word! I could just eat that baby with a spoon!!! The photos of her with each parent and her grandma are *so* sweet! But that view…wow!

      that last photo makes me cry — such love and trust and comfort and sweetness.

      That house is fantastic! Baltimore has a serious lack of awesome contemporary houses, especially with views like that. Their bedroom is to die for. (can you tell that I wish you’d done a bunch more house only photos?!?)

      I have officially exploded from the cuteness of all those pictures!

      This is so gorgeous and touching and full of love!
      Thank you so much for sharing those kind and tender emotions through photos.
