sooooo...we all knew this day was coming...just was a matter of when it would actually happen!

Let's rewind to the first time we {meaning my family} ever met Jason! We were playing sand volleyball at the pool. When I saw Riley's smile when she looked at him, I said to my husband "riley's got a crush on that one over there". We giggled cause she was gitty! But then I saw him look at her & I was like "that boy is SMITTEN"!

So the rest is history...thats all you need to know...SIKE...I cant leave out the rest!

We knew from the start that Jason was a super nice, genuinely nice guy and Riley was definitely deserving! She is an awesome young woman and we love her dearly!

It's been so fun being able to watch their love grow for each other! Riley's face lights up every time he calls. She flys out the door into his arms when he comes to pick her up!  They each are just both so in love. It really does make my heart smile!

Jason just keeps growing and growing on us as well! He is AMAZING with our kiddos just like Riley is! Someday the two of them will make outstanding parents!

Fast forward a bit to 2015! I get a FB msg from Jason saying he is going to propose to Riley and he wants all her family to be there! Of course...I am like HECK YES we will be there!

The day of the proposal there was a ton of excitement and jitters from both families as we all waited quietly in a room at his home! I have to add that between the two families we had 10 kids under 7 that we had to keep quiet...not an easy task! But once he got her outside to the fire pit we all flew out of the room to the window to watch from inside! Lot's of emotions in that room between smiles and sniffles! Once we got the clear we were able to run out and congratulate the two of them! We finished the night with dinner and getting to know our new family!

I was honored to be able to take their engagement photos for them! From shopping for new outfits with the two of them to shooting day!

I cannot wait to be with you on your special day and stand by your side!!

Hope you enjoy your photos!

Love you sis & you too Jason ;)

Welcome! Wanted to put this post together to quickly share some of the many 2015 session we took! 2015 was a year of adventure and I was able to meet so so many new awesome families! We added our third little one and that left me little to no time to blog!

So please take a look at a bunch of photos taken by me in 2015! I am so excited to see families again from 2015 and meeting new families in 2016!

Best Wishes to you all!

so so blessed to have been able to spend my morning with these two excited new "soon to be" new parents! The morning was just a wee bit chilly...but you cant hardly even tell with all this beautiful warm light coming from the sunrise! So easy going and I almost didn't even have to help them pose...they just went right into position, so natural and beautiful they are!

...and that beautiful quilt...this little mama made that for her sweet new additions nursery! So talented!!

I cannot wait to meet little Hunter when he arrives, I think any day now! Promise to share those with you as well!

Enjoy! I could not be more happy for the two of you!

In Colorado you can never predict what the weather will do until actual day of shooting. For Jordan and Steftany,  Jan 25th turned into a beautiful day and was the perfect setting for the romantic engagement session they hoped for. We had so much fun laughing, joking and changing outfits mid field. We had warm sun (yummy light) with no wind--YES, lots of snow on the ground from a recent storm (a day ago-colorado!), a little muddy which made our ventures fun and messy at times while hiking up hills. We choose Chataqua in Boulder, Co for our location and it could have not been more perfect, ENJOY!


Congratulations you two! I cannot wait for your big day...its coming FAST!

I just love this little family and cannot wait for them to become a family of 4! Seriously am counting down the days until I get to meet that little sweetie pie!

We took their gender reveal photos awhile back and found out they are going to be blessed with a little girl ;)

Big brother Kingsley is so full of life and always on the GO...but when he turns on the charm he turns it on high...such a doll! He even gave me a hug at the end of our session...such a sweetie...MELT MY HEART!

Loved how this session turned into such a fun lifestyle session...love when families just be themselves! That is always the best time to capture their precious moments...you certainly can feel the love in these pics...

And seriously Randi...you look absolutely amazing...i cannot even believe it! I thought so during the session but I think even more so now! STUNNING!

Here are some of my favorites from our session! Stay tuned for little girl swenson to be on the blog soon!
