It has been an amazing full year thus far. I have spent many evenings in the Colorado sunshine with the most beautiful souls. This family was no exception.

We had an insanely wet Spring here and had to reschedule session after session in May, so when we FINALLY got together in June this Mama didn’t have much long to go before they met their precious baby. She truly looked like a princess. People stopped in their tracks to let her know just how much so. The sun was out, her boys were just so incredibly sweet and her husband couldn’t be more obviously smitten with her. I was excited to learn that their little babe was going to be a surprise. It was all worth the wait.

And we learned when we got home from our travels in early summer they welcomed a little girl into their family. I have no doubt she will be well protected by her big brothers. I feel so fortunate to have been able to document their family this day and hope so much to meet their little lady!

This past October I had the honor of teaching at a workshop just outside of Nashville. It was amazing to not only network and get to know so many wonderful people, but to share my passion for Photography and hope nurture growth and inspiration among other artists. One aspect of this workshop was a live shoot. This Mama volunteered herself and her DARLING family as models. I couldn’t have been more ecstatic to not only photograph them, but to give this sweet gal a real life hug. She also happens to be one of the testers for the resources I make for other Photographers. I know our paths will cross again one day. If you have a moment check her out at Jamie Faulkner Photography. She is awesome!
