St Baldricks 2012

denver colorado family portrait st baldricks fundraiser Those of you who have followed this blog through the years will recognize this sweet family. And therefore you may be familiar with Tuesday and her battle with neuroblastoma.. (for a little backstory or to view a few of my previous posts through the years, click HERE. HERE. and HERE. and HERE.)

Last Friday marked the third year that Team Tuesday has participated in Denver’s St Baldrick’s event at Fado’s. Team Tuesday consists of an incredible group of kids and teens and men and women – and I am in so completely in awe of each and every one of them. Proud. And inspired. Each year I am reminded of the LOVE in this world, and I am filled with hope for our future.. and for our kids.  Team Tuesday has managed to raise $24,948. (and counting!) towards the fight against pediatric cancer. So. AMAZING.

oh baby ~ Introducing Lila

colorado portrait newborn babyThis is Lila. Tiny. Sweet. Beautiful.

And a story. Because I’m still in awe at this small world we live in.

Lila’s mom is Erika, the owner, baker, and mastermind behind the delectable bakery in the Highlands called Living the Sweet Life. Erika and I met for the first time this summer when we happened to be working together at Lauren & Rian’s Chatfield Botanic Gardens wedding.

And this is where the ‘small world’ comes in..

Because when she introduced herself, Erika told me about her man JP – the same JP who happens to be a long lost dear friend of mine from days of yore, back from those years spent gallivanting around the globe. I met JP while living and working in Switzerland, in the tiny alpine village of Crans-Montana, where I worked for 8(!) summers (JP was there for two of them) It is a place that is so important to me, and the friendships formed during those years hold a special place in my heart. So to be able to reconnect in this circuitous manner is incredible. I’m still in awe. And honored to have the opportunity to photograph their newborn baby girl.

A few of my favorites from our session..

Denver Children’s Portraits ~ Stu Stu Studio

denver colorado portrait studio kids familyFor portrait sessions I typically shoot outdoors – I love natural  light and being able to use our beautiful state of Colorado as my backdrop.. But occasionally an opportunity arises to do work in the studio, so I get to transform my little boutique in Wash Park into a portrait studio and work outside of my comfort zone. It’s a different kind of experience, allowing me to shoot clean, beautiful portraits – keeping my background simple and really allowing these little personalities to shine.

I have worked with this family for several (5+!) years now.. and I just adore them. I love being able to get a glimpse into their lives over time, documenting these kids as they change and evolve, and I still can’t get over how grown up they are! (I even did a baby’s first year package when A, the youngest child, was born)

These are some pretty wonderful kiddos, with some pretty wonderful parents. A few faves..colorado children's portrait photographer
