What fun it is to see the evolution of a family, honestly it’s one of the best parts of my job! I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to photograph Lindsey & Jeff’s beautiful wedding at Ten Mile Station in Breckenridge and then when they contacted me last fall I was thrilled to hear that they were now living in Colorado and were expecting their first child. When we met in January for their maternity session, their family had already grown by one. Miss Annie dog was their first great addition. And now when we… Read More »

Boy was there ever a chill in the air for our shoot…yet we braved it! Thank you to this adorable family for braving the cold and heading out with me to get some family photos of all of you together. You may remember Kelley and Jason from their beautiful Telluride wedding 3 years ago.  Kelley is an amazing photographer herself…so she takes lots of fabulous photos of her brood…but she needed to be in some herself (I know that struggle all too well). So once their sweet new addition was awake we headed out into… Read More »

Look at these two darling kiddos.  No, they are not twins- one is about 2 years older than the other.  The wonderful thing for me was that I was invited down to Denver to photograph both of them when they were both roughly 4 months old. So big brother is on the left in the next two images, and his pictures were taken about 2 years ago. Little brother’s photos were taken just about 2 weeks ago and he is on the right in the next two images.  It is so fun to see the comparison of… Read More »

Just because it’s winter, that doesn’t mean you can’t get great outdoor portraits, especially here in Colorado!  The key is to pick a place that has some non-deciduous trees or a great background to take away from the lack of green grass & leaves on the trees. Then you hope for one of Colorado’s wonderful 40-50 degree days full of sun. With that combo you can get a great day of winter portraits! (Or you can hope for a light snow or snow on the ground and that too can make for a perfect backdrop!) With… Read More »

What a fun, gorgeous evening in Denver! And what a stunning family to spend the evening with! You may remember these cuties from a few years ago…wow how they have grown and they have gotten even cuter- which I didn’t think was possible! Here they are now… And here they are a few years ago… Thank you so much for inviting me to spend time with your wonderful family- I can’t wait to see how much bigger these cuties are at our next shoot!  Cherish this time. Best, Rachel

Could it possibly have been another year? This amazing family is one of my favorites (because I am lucky enough to call Megh one of my besties!), but it is so hard for me to believe that another year has slipped by. Is that possible? Well, yes…in the chaos that is called “life”…I can see why a year slips by before our eyes, without us really noticing.  Honestly, I think that is why I love photography so much.  It forces me (us) to capture moments in the craziness of life, in order to document time… Read More »

I had a wonderful evening in Denver photographing this darling family. You may remember these beautiful girls from last year…now they have a little brother to join in the fun. And check him out- he is a cutie! They had a great idea to meet at their pool for some fun family portraits.    And then we had to hit the pool! Thank you for such a fun idea and a wonderful evening! Enjoy the few remaining days of summer.  Best, Rachel
