Ryan, Heidi, & Elsa-Denver Family Photographer

Posted on August 30, 2010

This summer we spent a few days in Minnesota visiting family, and I was so excited to have the chance to photograph my cousin Heidi, her husband Ryan, and their daughter Elsa. Elsa is Heidi and Ryan’s second child; their first child, Carter, unexpectedly went to heaven when he was eight months old. My heart broke for them when this happened–I can’t imagine how hard it would have been to have experienced this loss. I have really admired the courage that Ryan and Heidi have shown in the midst of their grief; God’s love radiates even more strongly from them, and they continue to have hope despite experiencing tragic  circumstances.

Their daughter Elsa is such a happy, easy going baby. She has the most beautiful red hair! Here are some of my favorite photos from their session:

Thanks so much, Heidi and Ryan! It was so great to spend time with you and meet Elsa.

Carter, Kathy, Roman, & Lucia-Greenwood Village Family Photographer

Posted on August 7, 2010

You may remember Carter, Kathy, Roman, and Lucia (and their adorable pug Stella) from these posts. I had done a family session with them during the winter, but Lucia got sick and we weren’t able to finish. So, I recently went back to finish their shoot. This time we focused mainly on Lucia, who is just beautiful! Here are some favorites from their session:

Thanks Carter and Kathy! It was so fun to see how much Lucia has changed in a few short months!





Nathan, Gudmunda, Isold, Finn, Frodi, & Briet-Colorado Springs Family Photographer

Posted on August 3, 2010

This session marks the first time that I have photographed a family of four children! Nathan met Gudmunda when he was stationed in Iceland with the Air Force, and she left her home to make a life with him in the United States. And what a full life it is! I’m sure that there is never a quiet moment in their home, as it is filled with their beautiful children Isold, Finn, Frodi, and Briet. I had a lot of fun doing this shoot and enjoyed the challenge of keeping up with the kids! Here are some favorites:

I felt the same way after this session was over :) :

Thanks Nathan and Gudmunda! It was so nice to meet you. I hope you had a great trip to Iceland!
