McMahon Family Portraits at Red Rocks

A few weeks ago we had the pleasure of meeting the McMahon family up at Red Rocks for a family portrait session. They were referred to us by the awesome Kristie & Matt so we knew they were going to be a great family to work with. Anyone who has worked with us in the past knows we never put timers on our sessions. It's something that makes us different than many photographers out there but I feel it's important to give people whatever time they need to get comfortable in front of the camera. Kids especially need that time every now and then so we make sure to allow for it at every session we do. The McMahon family warmed right up to the camera though- the kids were great! We had a wonderful time with all of them at their session. It's was funny to watch their youngest, Rileigh Rose do whatever her older brother's did, she could jump off the rocks just like the boys. Here are just a few images we caught throughout the day. If you'd like to see more samples of family portraits check out our portrait website.

Leonard Family Photos

A couple weekends ago we met up with our friends Jennifer, Nick and their adorable daughter Lexi. Lexi was born in January and we'd been looking forward to meeting her since we heard the news that they were expecting last summer. It's crazy to think 2 years ago at this time they were planning their wedding and now they have a little girl to complete their family. At first Lexi wasn't quite sure what to think of us and the big camera pointing her direction but she quickly got used to us and we got so many great photos with her and the entire family. They have such a good looking family! We took the photos at their house which makes things so much easier for babies instead of bringing them somewhere they don't know and feel uncomfortable. We even got some smiles out of her! We are so happy for Nick & Jennifer and grateful for the opportunity to take these photos for them. Here are a few images we shot from the day.

Lyndsay, Josh & Baby Nug

The other day we had the opportunity to photograph some maternity photos for Lyndsay & Josh. These two crazy folks decided to wait to find out if they are having a boy or girl- I have no idea how they can possibly wait the suspense would kill me! Since they don't know the sex of the baby yet he or she has the cutest little nickname... baby Nug. Baby Nug is going to be one lucky little boy or girl with Lyndsay & Josh as parents. We had so much fun with these two! Our take on maternity photos may be a little different than the traditional look most people recognize but who says they have to be all black & white and in a studio anyway? I think the traditional style misses a very important aspect to the pregnancy- the excitement, love and personalities of the parents. It's apparent that Lyndsay & Josh are so happy about adding this little one to their family and we got so many awesome pictures showing just how overjoyed they are. We had a difficult time choosing which pictures to post there were so many we loved but here is just a peak into our day. I couldn't leave out Josh's #1 to Penn State though. These two crack me up- enjoy!

Mooney Family Pictures

It's amazing how much things can change in just a few years. Only two years ago we photographed David and Beverly's wedding. They were one of my first weddings I ever photographed, in fact they were one of my first paid jobs as a photographer. I was using film in those days and was just making a start in the photography world. Beverly was a little hesitant to hire me as their photographer, after all it is one of the most important days of your life. However, David told her "trust him, he's a fellow firefighter". I'm so glad they trusted me to photograph their day! It was so much fun and was the start of my career. Now two years later they have little Ethan who is an adorable little man! He was so good the entire time and LOVES having his picture taken. Here's a few from the day.

Lindeman Family Photos at Bear Dance

A week ago Sunday we met up with the Lindeman family for some family photos out at the residence of the owners of Bear Dance Golf Course. The owners were so nice to allow us the opportunity to photograph on their property- it was absolutely beautiful! They were such nice people and brought beverages and snacks out for everyone. We had a great time taking photos for the Lindeman family. The fall colors in the second to last photos is one of my favorites of the group. I'll just share a few for now from the day. Enjoy!
