Just Because

Lately I’ve been inspired by so many friends that get in the frame with their children. So the other day I decided to shoot just for me. I didn’t care if I had makeup on or if my hair looked perfect. I just wanted some pictures of me with Jaxon before he grows up and is too cool to snuggle with Mommy. I want to remember how at 2 years-old (almost 3!) he always grabs my hand to walk up the stairs. He says, “I love you Mommy” in the most adorable little voice and gives me hugs at the most random times. He has a fascination with trucks and all things that move but he also loves his stuffed animals Buddy and Ducky. Sometimes I wish he could stay little forever but I also realize what a gift it is to watch him grow and discover this great big world.

10 on 10 | May Edition

This month I had two rules for myself: 1. All images will be black & white 2. All images include Jaxon. As I was editing each one I couldn’t help but notice how fast my little man is growing. This project has allowed me to take time to photograph these little moments that will always be big moments to me.

1. Jaxon and Toby watching the snow fall (in MAY)

2. Channeling his inner Rock Star

3. Smile! We love Cheerios

4. Oh my sweet little man

5. Doin’ a jig in the park

6. “Mom..ANOTHER picture?!”

7. Brushing our teeth is SO exciting!

8. This is how I roll in the bathtub. Go Broncos!

9. Laughing with Daddy

10. Morning smile

Here is the May edition of Kids Were Here. Stop by our blog Kids Were Here to check out my photography friends and their amazing work! Enjoy!

10 on 10 | April Edition

This past weekend I met the most amazing family. They chose me to photograph them as a growing family as they recently adopted a newborn baby girl. During breaks for baby and mama, this little girl just stole my heart. She was one of the sweetest little girls I have ever met and such an amazing big sister. For this month I wanted to share images of big sister Kalea. If this is what it’s like to have a daughter – sign me up!!

Head on over to Rebecca Chalmer’s blog and see what amazing images she has in store for this month!
