Three months old and she already works it for the camera. The furrowed brow, little smiles, and small pouts were a few of the expression she showcased during her first photo session.
This is the first of many 2009 posts. Over the holidays, I took a little break from the blog to spend time with my family and take some photos of my little two year old. Keep checking back to see more new work during the next few weeks. 
Reflecting on the past 365 days, I am amazed at all that happened. My daughter, Maddie, was just walking at the start of 2008 and now she runs circles around me while singing happy birthday to her babies. After living in Colorado for five years, I finally made it to a Red Rocks concert to see My Morning Jacket. I traveled to Costa Rica, Santa Fe, Alaska, New Hampshire, Ohio, and West Virginia. On my birthday, I had knee surgery which was really the worse birthday present ever. And I am still recovering from it. Spent Thanksgiving with my husband and Maddie skiing at Wolf Creek. I had hoped to get her on skis but she was content doing puzzles and eating dried blueberries in the lodge. Not even the promise of a lollipop could entice this two year old onto the slopes. Christmas was celebrated with my mom and brother who are so loved by Maddie. Uncle Jamie is always a favorite due to his willingness to be transformed in a horse at any given moment. New Year's Eve was quiet at our house but the food, lobster risotto with beef tenderloin and an avocado tomato salad, was delicious. Rang in the New Year with our neighbors playing Wii.
Hope everyone had an amazing 2008. Happy New Year.
this was the best way to spend my sunday morning - outside photographing a seven year old. having a love of hannah montana and eloise, she could strike a pose at a drop of a dime. jumping, running, laughing, ellie was busy and was willing to try just about anything.
at times, i felt i was working with a model for the garnet hill kids catalog. check out the second photo down.
don't you just love being a girl. you have an excuse to love the color pink and wear it. these two little ones were so sweet and happy.
I met up with this little one on Sunday to capture her for the family's holiday cards. She was simply too much. So many smiles, expressions, and sounds from this stylish little one. Look at her pink retro car! 
this first portrait is one of my favorites from 2008. i love the matching expression on the dog and the little guy's face. too much. the weather has been beautiful in boulder and we played both inside and outside on saturday. a few different outfits gave this little model many different looks. such a sweet little guy.
It was another gorgeous fall day in boulder and Truman was so handsome in his fall outfit. I have been photographing this little guy since he was 10 days old. Now he is 14 months. During the session, Truman would bust out a loud contagious laugh. It was one of the cutest things.
I look forward to seeing which photo ends up on your holiday card this year.
