Recherche Holiday Portrait Sessions with Santa

Recherche's First Annual Holiday photos with Santa this year were a smashing success! It was so wonderful to see familiar faces and meet new ones. I had underestimated the fear factor little ones have with "Santa," but our Santa was unfailingly patient and flexible with the variety of reactions he elicited! All in all, it was a very magical and bustling experience and we're so looking forward to this becoming a Recherche holiday tradition. We loved being able to help support such a wonderful local organization (Habitat for Humanity) and it was a sweet way to add in a little quality family time in the midst of the holiday swirl. Hope to see you next year! (And be sure to watch the video- it's super cute!!)

We were so thankful for Santa & Mrs. Claus volunteering their time for this event! They were wonderful! If you are looking for a Santa for your next holiday event, they come highly recommended by Recherche! You can contact them by emailing: santa@Simply-Santa.com.

Just a few more images of my niece, Ellyana

OK, I am employing a great deal of self-restraint in not blogging about my gorgeous sister and niece every five minutes. But I cannot resist just posting a few images I took today when they came with my mother to help decorate the Recherche studio for Christmas. These images I hope will be passed down for many generations. I love them- the photos and the girls.

The very proud and infatuated "nana". (my mother!) Ellyana is already gaga. Babies sure know their grandmas!

Recherche Engagement Photo Session with Krystal & Chris

Krystal & Chris have opted OUT of a big complicated wedding and are eloping to Belize. And they are bringing their photographer with them so that their ultra simple & romantic ceremony among the beach-side Mayan ruins will be forever documented. And THIS is my specialty! Included in all my wedding packages are a set of engagement photos. Serendipiously we had a gorgeous December afternoon in Louisville the day we shot these images!

Oh boy, do I love dogs! And so do Krystal & Chris! (Actually, is there anyone in Colororado who doesn't? I think it may be a pre-requisite.) These gorgeous pups were a lovely addition to our photo session!

MAX Holiday Fashion Show this Friday!

Twin Portraits Plus One!

Twins seem to be my lot in life these days, however, I am much happier about them than Anne Shirley was. We created wonderful maternity photos for Christine a couple months ago and here we are with these little gentlemen front and center! I'm always very *curious* to see how family portrait sessions are going to turn out since I really never have a plan and never know how the little ones are going to react so it's feels a bit like Christmas each time I do an edit. I love these images!

And this is our cue that the session is OVER! That's a wrap!!
