Love Personified | Fort Collins, CO Family Photographer

I have been itching to share these images and while they straddle fall and summer alike and I am still technically blogging our Summer season-I just can’t wait any longer.

This Mama is a bit of a soul sister to me. She is a reminder that you can find a supportive soul and a kindred spirit in this industry and wholeheartedly just support other artists, even on a local level. Unless you are IN this industry I am sure that doesn’t quite make all the sense, but goodness me… she is just a breath of fresh air. Lindsey makes me proud to be a photographer in this community. I am truly so thankful for her friendship. We met some years back when we partook in our What ___ Looks like personal blog project and things truly blossomed from there. We got on the phone one day and what seemed like a good hour later I knew I had found myself a comrade. We spoke of trading sessions and then I got pregnant with my son Ezra and things didn’t quite pan out right then but she came out to the hospital and documented those first precious hours with our sweet boy and our growing family. She is also going to be photographing my birth if this little one should wait long enough this time for her to reach me- and I am just so honored to have gotten to spend this beautiful evening in the mountains with her and her sweet family. I know I am likely gushing, but I adore her. You will never meet a more genuine kind soul. I know we will be forever friends even if we don’t get to chat daily or weekly.

The Essensce of Family | Fort Collins, CO Family Photographer

I am still sharing lots of Spring/Summer sessions. Can you believe it? I know that the color has long been changing here and I have so many beautiful families that I am photographing and have been sharing alike on the fan page. Many of these families I still have in production and am processing and I am bursting to share every image possible with you all. But nothing gives me the feels like connection. I love when a family just lets their guard down and lets me in. My sessions are not typical I admit. There is a lot of snuggling and hugging and kissing and playing and laughing. I want all the moments and none of just the poses. I sound like a broken record but I don’t even want eye contact. I want you loving on your babies and your husbands and your wives. I want high fives and twirls and flower picking and frolicking and even the moody toddler glares. Those are pretty cute too.

And this. Gosh. This is just what I love.
So I will have some pretty Autumn sessions up soon but for now this PRECIOUS family is being featured this fine Thursday.

Also, as a note I will be in the mountains teaching a workshop this weekend and my signal will be hit or miss so I will be playing catch up when things get to somewhat normal on Monday!! If you e-mail or message that is why you don’t hear back right away.
