      We photographed this fun family in their ultra-cool neighborhood of LoDo last week. It was their daughter’s first birthday, so they decided to celebrate with a portrait shoot. Mike and I loved exploring this urban area with them, which was a fun change of pace from our more typical mountain settings. We started out in their fabulous loft condo, and then wandered through the streets and parks nearby. These guys were so much fun, and I loved how they were up for anything!


      This was a candid moment that I managed to capture when I wasn’t expecting it. He just ran up to greet them like that.


      I love this one of her feeding the baby.


      One of my favorites

      This was just a funny moment… This dog and its owner wandered over to the baby while we were taking pictures. The owner held up a doggie treat to encourage the dog to sit still for a photo. I laughed when both of them reached for the treat!


      These guys were total rock stars. Here they were singing a hilarious song they had written for the baby.

      captured personalities

      I’ve known this family for many years now. I have to say you’ve caught each of their unique personalities so well. Really nice stuff.

      Good Day, sorry for my english, if there are any mistakes. I,m from Tomsk, Russia. My name is Alla, I manage the site for parents http://mama.tomsk.ru/
      I’m very fond of these photos, they’re marvellous, they’re full of warmth and tenderness. Since I have seen photos, I can’t forget them.
      Can you help us to ask for permission to take photo of this man’s wife feeding the baby? We’d like to make a poster for breastfeeding support in our town.
      It’ll be wonderful, if they can support our initiative with their photo.

      That kid looks like it was born to be in front of a camera. Good job all around.

      Those two made me laugh, just the expressions and everything. 🙂 They seem like such a fun family.

      What a beautiful family.
      It’s so pretty out there, and your pictures always make me want to visit the west.
      Also, Rich and I have songs for all of our animals; it can only get worse when the babies come.
      LOL.

      So cute!

      They look like such fun!

      I literally laughed out loud when I saw that first picture of the baby sticking its head through the railing. 🙂

      Oh and that DWF site seems really awesome. I signed up immediately!

      The one you said is one of your favorites…I’d have to agree. What cool pictures 🙂

      i’m loving the urban backdrop! you captured the essence of this family wonderfully! 🙂

      That is seriously the happiest baby EVER… such a cute family! Perfect photos as always!

      When are you coming to Texas again? 😉

      What a fun family! I love the one after the candids because it seems to showcase all of their personalities, esp. with the baby’s nose wrinkled up. The last is my favorite though.

      they look like such fun people!!!

      The baby has such an range of expression! it is great. I agree, I love the urban setting, some of the black and whites have such a different feel from many of your pictures!

      Very nice portraits!

      A friend told me to add your journal, and I’m glad I did. I’m a very amateur photographer–just starting out doing a few jobs–and I love seeing other peoples’ work. I’ve mostly done portraits of friends and their pets, and am still learning my way around a lot of the technical aspects of photography, so I’m sure your journal will be inspiring for me!
