One of the things I love about being a photographer who works for myself is that I don’t always have to be paid in cash! I do barters on Craigslist all the time, and one of my favorite barters every year is barting sessions for Broncos tickets as my husband and I are really big fans. I met Mr. I and his parents last weekend, had a great session with a little one who had SO many wonderful expressions, and then the next day, I got to watch the Broncos beat the Steelers. Win-win all around, and I LOVED the shots I got of Mr. I. He was so sweet!

This was such a fun mess! I can’t wait to do it again!

…Did NOT want her picture taken.

Luckily, she is so cute, it didn’t even matter.

Recently, I’ve decided to try and focus on newborns. I haven’t had much luck with newborn shoots in the past, but I LOVE working with babies, so, I’m learning new techniques and new ways to approach doing the itty-bittys.

I gave Megan and Julian a free session to help me practice. Megan was convinced little Julian would be totally tuckered out and would be the perfect sleeping baby for me. Julian, of course, had a different idea. He was so cute though that it just didn’t matter. His big blue eyes were amazing, so, perhaps we got lucky that he just wanted to stay awake! Towards the end, you could tell he was really fighting the sleep, and he did close his eyes to give me a shot that I really wanted! Thanks Julian!

Here are some of my favorites

Jaxten Elijah is my friend Kelly’s little boy. This picture was taken months ago, but it’s one of my all time favorites.
