One Word…

…frees us of all the weight and pain of life:
that word is love.
- Sophocles -

I’ve done a lousy job of blogging this summer.  Every time I turn around another week has pasted.  I’ve had some completely amazing session lately though, I’m just in awe at the couples that are finding me.  The love and giddiness is so contagious, I can’t help but feel overwhelmed with gratitude.  Stellar Couple’s Session yesterday with Stacey and Joe.   More to come.

Della Terra Wedding; Kate and Kevin

There names just scream cute don’t they?  I mean who wouldn’t think Kate and Kevin were meant to be when all you know about them is there names.  The more I learned though the more and more I knew without a doubt that Kate and Kevin are totally and completely meant to be together.  And oh my god the chemistry between them is….well HOT.  More then once I felt the need to pull the camera away from my eye just to catch my breath and let the steam cool off.  There are just so many photos from their wedding I want to share, it’s going to be a long post.  Kate and Kevin thank you so much for inviting me into your day of bliss!  You are sweeter then pie and I just wished you lived in Colorado. 

I think Kate has been blessed by the hair gods.  Seriously just simply stunning.

Bridesmaids in cream with red accents…oh yea GORGEOUS! I just couldn’t help myself, the shoes and just fabulous.Who can do a rubik cube in under a minute?  Oh yea Kevin can!  The day after their wedding was Kevin’s birthday, so of course there needs to be a cake just for Kevin.  And what could possibly be better then a rubik cube cake?Sometimes there’s sun at sunset and sometimes there’s sunlight from heaven.  We lucked out and had the ladder.  A perfect end for a beautiful couple.

Botanic Garden Family Portrait, Dasler Family

How is possible to love two little boys when you just met them?  Their curly hair, the infectious laugh, the bright blue eyes.

When I first decided to start the venture of photography almost 5 years ago, I had no idea where to start.  But mothers always know how to help.  My mom offered to call a lady she knew that had a daughter in Denver. (I know crazy small town Minnesota connections)  And that daughter was Cheri.  She extactically let me into her and Nathaniel’s home that first year to photograph Devon when he was just 6 months old.  And now he’s a bright, loveable 4 year old with so much energy!  And they have one more to add to their adorable little family, little Vince.   These little boys captured my heart in an instant.

Nathaniel is such a great dad to watch in action.  And Devon just eats up the attention!The dynamics of family are so an amazing to photograph.   I just can’t get enough of them!
