What a difference a day makes! With Laura and Dan I was tromping around in the snow but a day later we were stomping through mud! Luckily it was still a beautiful day and the mud didn’t stop us a bit!
These two didn’t need much coaching–they were pros at looking like they love each other! :D
My favorite!!
Vanessa and Jarrod’s wedding is coming up fast! You’ll be seeing these two again in a month and a half!

If you are super observant, you might remember Laura from her brother Andrew’s wedding last summer! She was the beautiful best (wo)man, and I was so excited when she emailed and asked us if we’d be available to shoot her wedding this winter. I knew she would be so much fun to photograph again, and I wasn’t wrong!
My Colorado readers of course already know this, but for those that live in less freakish areas, on Thursday the recorded high was 71 degrees…but that night a winter storm rolled it and it was snowing by Friday morning and by Friday afternoon it was bad enough that Nic was on a snow release from work! (Gotta love spring in Colorado!) We had about 5 inches of snow at the studio and I asked Laura and Dan if they would be interested in taking advantage of it. They were, and I can only imagine how much fun they didn’t have driving down here to the Springs and then out to the studio. Snow is always so exciting to catch, though, so I’m so glad they made the trek down here Friday night!
Who doesn’t go swinging in the snow?!
How perfect are Laura’s boots for this shoot?! (She had the perfect heels at Ellie and Andrew’s wedding, too. I never forget good shoes.) 
When I suggested a piggyback ride, Laura said yes…but then confessed that she has a fear of being picked up. I figured things would go one of two ways: either it would be HORRIBLE and we might all end up in tears, or it would be ridiculous and awesome and full of laughter. It went the second way. :)
They totally belong in a J Crew catalog! (And I love Tess’s “snow beard” so much!!)
Earlier it was just a snow goatee….
Tesla got off her leash for a few shots…but she soon showed us that she would much rather run in the snow than pose for pictures! (Which was just fine with me–she didn’t even know what perfect shots she was creating!) I love that it’s so cold that you can see Dan’s breath in the fourth shot!

I had the best of intentions to be a better blogger during my maternity leave–scheduling some baby posts to keep the crickets from chirping too loudly around here. Needless to say, I didn’t do such a good job. I’m trying to be a better blogger, though, and since my two month break from shooting officially ends this weekend, that won’t be hard! But before I get back to posting sneak peeks, here are some of the things I’ve been meaning to share!
Prior to Ellie’s birth, I got a little crazy with the projects. Nothing keeps a woman from sitting around waiting for a baby like some good old fashioned projects! Here are a few of my faves:
Some of you know that before I was a photographer, I was a scrapbooker. (I somehow manage to turn all my hobbies into jobs.) So for Will’s early days and my pregnancy with him he has all of these amazing scrapbook layouts. I knew that Ellie wasn’t going to have that, so I got her this baby book from etsy. I got all of the extra packs so that I could fill the book with journaling and photos and she’d have it just as good as Will, just in a more time friendly format! I love this baby book and highly recommend it. I keep it handy on my desk with a pen and have been jotting down little memories as they came up since the very early days of the pregnancy.
Since we have so many amazing photos from her birth (courtesy of Charlotte Geary Photography), though, I knew I needed to have an album devoted to JUST birth pictures. (For our brides deciding on their flushmount album covers, this is the rothschild cover and it is such a cool purple. I don’t even like purple and I totally adore this cover.)
A few spreads from the album:
