This year we are indoor trick-or-treating at decorated doors throughout Grammy and Gramp’s house, carving a pumpkin and eating way too much candy!

Happy halloween from my family to yours! 

I just got a new macro lens and decided to try it out at the Denver Botanic Gardens. The gardens on York street have been an escape and oasis for me this summer. I feel comfortable walking past the limited number of people attending in masks and can forget about the problems in the world and enjoy all the beauty of the incredible blooms. No to mention, they have incredible brick over pizza at the Hive Garden Bistro.  

These photos were all taken in late August. If you go looking for butterflies, Lainie’s Cutting Garden was a great spot for me!

If you are considering planning your wedding at the Denver Botanic Garden please contact me, I’d love to work with you!

Our little Colorado baby is here! Augie came into the world on June 14, 2019. He is a ray of sunshine and we are so happy that he has joined our family.

Ollie turned three years old on March 26! It was a cold, rainy day that we spent inside playing with his brand new train set and eating ice cream with sprinkles!

Soooo… his birthday photos were taken a little late, but still worth sharing. We went to the Evergreen Lake House to hike and have fun with some balloons.

Ollie is sweet and silly and crazy. Full of giggles. Likes to ask “why?” He knows his alphabet. He likes to read 2 books and sing ABCs and twinkle twinkle before bed. He loves to dance. He is TALL! He says yep and nope. He is stubborn and gets frustrated. He likes to be independent, but will ask for help when he needs it (mostly!). He is mischievous and loves to play. He loves trains, cars, garbage trucks, blocks, submarines, octopus, dinosaurs, Mickey Mouse, buzz lightyear, balloons, airplanes, spaceships and play doh.

 He loves fruit especially oranges, strawberries and grapes. He also loves ice cream, jelly beans, sprinkles, lollipops and chocolate. He does not like cake and just wants the frosting.

He melts my hearts when he tells me I’m his best friend (he tells daddy the same thing).

He makes us laugh when he says:
Alien = “Anenen”
Octopus = “opopus”
Elephant = “elfanent”
School = “skeeeew”
Banana = “baNAna”
Helicopter = “hepipopper”

We ended the shoot by asking Ollie to give his brother a hug. He is very excited to be a big brother! Life is about to change for him BIG TIME!

Happy birthday sweetie pie!

We’ve got BIG NEWS to share! I am due with our second child on June 19. It’s a boy! Ollie is super excited to be a big brother (but worried about sharing his toys). And we are over the moon!

I’m still busy working through the beginning of June and excited about some upcoming weddings at the end of August and into the fall in Colorado and in New York!

Stay tuned for a baby announcement coming soon! We are so excited for him to arrive!
