End of Summer

  • Comments Off on End of Summer

Summer is my absolute favorite season, I love the warm weather, I love that the kiddies can do all those fun outdoor activities (they’ve all become quite some swimmers this year) and I love the long, long days. I guess all good things come to an end at some point, yesterday when I dropped Anya off at school, it was the first day where I thought now summer is over. While it was still very warm, the wind blew and with that there were lots of leaves on the ground. We haven’t been at the pool for weeks either, so I guess fall is finally here, if I want it or not, haha! BUT our friends and we decided to have one more perfect summer night (after all, it was this perfectly warm day). The kiddies had so much fun reading some of their favorite books to each other and running around with their flashlights, I can still hear their giggles. Good, good times 🙂 Here are just 2 from our last summer night, and with that … good-bye summer, until next year! 🙂

Back to School! :(

I know some parents feel relieved when they little kiddies go back to school … maybe I’ll get there someday too, but right now I mostly just miss my little monkeys. Holding tight to Sophia for an other 2 months, but Anya just started Kindergarten this week (and was SUPER excited about it!!) and Miss Amelia is gone a few mornings a week too. 🙁

Look at these sweet faces! <3

Sweet little Miss Sophia was SO excited when mama allowed her to draw with a big girl pencil, haha! I just kept hearing “I did eeeet”! <3Fort Collins Family Photographer

Little Miss Bubbles (how mama liked to call her since she was a baby) 🙂 As for the photo below, I did something similar with Anya when she was about 3, so Amelia has been looking forward to her “painting-photo”. I tried to incorporate something that they particular like to point out / talk about … while Anya always LOVED talking about the moon and the stars, this little one LOVES rainbows, and unicorns 🙂 I couldn’t find a good way to incorporate a unicorn, but I thought this would fit 🙂

I decided I need to get my creative juices flowing during this super busy time. Not maybe people know this, but I usually work until 1/2am sometimes even until 3/4am, as my work day usually doesn’t start until my kiddies are put to bed. But since I have them all day, every once in a while I treat myself (and them) to a little photo treat and we usually do something fun/ny 🙂

Here’s one from our little sports series 🙂 This photo just puts a smile on my face, hope it will do the same for you 🙂

Oh do I have a treat for everybody this week. Photos of 6 super sweet cousins up on the blog next!! I can not believe I’ve known mommy for over 7 years when I shot her and her hubby’s engagement photos. Since then they’ve grown a beautiful family, with 3 super sweet boys. I persuaded them to go back to the same spot where we took last year’s photos, the Bradley Estate in Canton, MA as the light there and the backdrop is just so yummy 🙂

Thank you so much for sticking with me despite our move, Nicole! LOVE seeing you guys and watching your sweet little boys grow <3

Here are just a few from their set. Enjoy! 🙂

2,000 likes, wow! If you would have told me 10 years ago that I’d eventually have 2,000 people follow my work, I’d have told you you are crazy! 🙂 I used to be a pretty shy person, that would have never wanted to stand in front of a bunch of people asking to look at her, haha! I met SO many wonderful clients thorough the years, and I feel so lucky that I am still in touch with so many, yet alone call some great friends! I LOVE seeing families grow, and document precious memories that I hope you are all treasuring for forever. It really warms my heart when I see your photos pop up as  your facebook profile photo, and it breaks my heart when I see you post a photo that I took of you and somebody that recently deceased … but I am happy I was able to create those memories for you. Thank you for staying in touch with me and letting me be part of your lives!

Thank you for being part of my life too! Every once in a while I post photos of my little loves and I’m so happy to open up to you and let you into my life. I hope I can put a little smile on your face with my little cuties 🙂

All that means so much to me! Even if we never met, and you’re just following my work, I appreciate you! I love staying in touch so thank you for clicking on that *like* button, and thank you all for your sweet words throughout all those years!

Thank you for following my journey <3

My goodness, where do I start? Considering how long I’ve been thinking about this blog post, I have to admit, I’m still out of words.

Caroline & Peter’s wedding was just breathtaking! What a way to stat off life together! I can say with no doubt that everybody had the best time, and I mean the VERY best time! Tuscaloosa people sure know how to celebrate a couple and the band did such an *amazing* job – honestly … best band I have ever heard at a wedding! Caroline’s mom did such a beautiful job making everything look SO beautiful and making everybody feel so welcome and the venue … my goodness!! I really don’t know what to say, I know this wedding will stick with me for a long, long time, I hope everybody will enjoy the little peek into their huge set.

Caroline & Peter, you are a wonderful, sweet, caring couple, I wish you nothing but the best! Congratulations again and thanks for having me! 🙂

Enjoy!

Caroline’s beautiful dress:

My goodness, everything looked just so beautiful, the dress, the glamorous shoes … even the hanger! Can I please have a hanger like that?! Ha!I can’t get over the shoes!!Meet Caroline, the beautiful bride 🙂 Good times, with good friends 🙂 One with her sweet mom too 🙂 Ahhhh, so gorgeous!!I mean, seriously! How gorgeous is she?!?!Soooo beautiful!!And the flowers! Oh my!!! No words!Ahhhh!Meet the handsome groom, Peter 🙂 Caroline & Peter decided to do their photos before the ceremony, so we sneaked to NorthRiver before the reception:Love these!!Ohhhh my gosh!! That look!This one might be my favorite, but then … I like them all!There she is again! SO gorgeous!!Love this one too! 🙂 Meet their HUGE bridal party! That’s 29 people!Handsome group of friends!Don’t blame the photographer for all the photos, haha! I have no idea what happened here … Anybody feeling like being the King of the world on the Titanic? 🙂 Or maybe we got a little breeze? It sure was a HOT, humid day, and the guys (and the bride!) got all my respect staying cool while we were taking photos 🙂 Ok, group hug! Uhm … what’s happening here?There we go! 🙂 And don’t forget … hands in your pockets … it only took a few shots 🙂 There we go 🙂Handsome! 🙂 Everybody likes a casual, chatty photo, right? Uhm guys … hello … anybody still with me? Ha!It’s the ladies turn 🙂

Aaaaahhhh, so beautiful!!How about a chatty shot? 🙂 What should I say? They’re pros!! 🙂 I love all the photos! I have a feeling you girls will be all over my website 🙂Sister! <3BEAUTIFUL sister!!Caroline & Peter celebrated their ceremony at St. FrancisAaaaaaand the photographer is tearing up. Since I have daughters on my own, dads walking their daughters down the aisle make me all teary eyed. What a beautiful church! I am still a little sad that we had to stay in the back, I’ll just never get used to it. It’s sad that some photographers were so disruptive that in some States it’s just not allowed to be on the side / front, but it makes me sad I didn’t get to document any close-ups. 🙁Yay! 🙂 Congrats again!! 🙂

Ahhhhhh, excuse the venue-photos-over-share. Eeeeek, but everything looked SO gorgeous!!!Are you speechless yet? I know I was!!

Those flowers!!My gosh!!!Look at that!! What a place!I know, I know … I’m still not done … I could keep going an going … The cake! My goodness!!!!Ok, last one!These two!! 🙂 Mr. and Mrs. McLean! 🙂 Father / daughter dance … with a dance-crashing grandpa, but I think nobody minded 🙂 Mother / son 🙂 Fun!Ok … are you guys ready for some serious dance shots?! I LOVE a good party! And with that band, backdrop and that AWESOME crowd … I was in heaven 🙂You know it’s a good party if grandpa gets on the dance floor 🙂 Sorry, 3 of these I already posted above … but … in case you missed them, ha!Fun, fun, fun!!Well, that’s it! With 3300 photos I’m calling this a wrap! What an awesome couple, bridal party, venue, day, evening, EVERYTHING! I feel like I need to go on a vacation now, haha!

Hope you enjoyed the photos. I’ll upload some of them to their facebook gallery, so feel free to (re)-visit if you want to leave a comment on a certain photo 🙂

Thank you Caroline, Peter and Suzie for having me … and for everybody for all the smiles, especially to the bridal party, I know it was hot, hot, hot that day (sorry I looked like a red tomato, haha!) AND a very special thank you to Amanda for flying out from Florida and second shooting with me that day, thanks girl!!
