Below are some of my vintage-inspired images from last week’s family portrait session. I photographed Kristen and Dillon’s wedding last year in December and they have since moved to Virginia but were back for the holidays! The bride’s family and I have become great friends, so we kid around a lot which made for such a relaxed and fun photo session in spite of the frigid temperatures that day! Here in Colorado we had a white Christmas this year as you can see in these photos, but today its in the 50′s again. Typical Colorado weather of course and thank goodness. I love the beauty of the snow and skiing, but I’m not a huge fan of cold weather, even after all these years.

Here’s a few images from my shoot with Sarah and Mac and their family last weekend. I’ve done their family photos since their kids were born and I can’t believe how much they are growing. So fun to see them every year! This year Grandma came along and we both had a laugh too.

I can’t believe we’re already into the middle of October. I’m still able to photograph a few more families for fun holiday portraits and they make wonderful gifts, so if you are interested give me a call at the studio. Email me via my contact page at A Fine Photographer or call me at 303-768-0381! Sessions are limited but I’d love to work with you.

A couple of weeks ago I got the chance to take a family over to Daniel’s Park in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, for a variety of  family portraits. When we first arrived in late afternoon, we had what looked like an ominous storm coming on, but it soon cleared and we ended up with sunshine, which is typical Colorado weather (although this summer has been kinda crazier than usual it seems, even more unpredictable if that’s possible). Anyway, here are a few images from the session.

It looks like I’m making them climb on the side of a cliff here. See what we go through to get the pictures! LOL. It really wasn’t that steep.

Here are some black and white images from a family portrait session I did recently in Parker, Colorado. Not one, not two, but three dogs makes for a really funny session. We had a great time and I think I like the outtake shots the most sometimes. Especially when pets are involved.

"Got it."

"Try again."

"LOL."

"Awwh."

I really enjoy shooting holiday photos for families this time of year. Luckily, we’ve been pretty fortunate with the weather and I’ve been able to do quite a bit of outdoor shooting still!  We have a great holiday special – receive a $50.00 gift card when you book a session through Dec. 31st, 2010. Contact (click here) my studio if you are interested! You can use the gift card in 2011 as long as your session is booked in 2010! This is also a great gift idea for grandparents or for someone who has everything!

 Below is a recent session with mom and dad and the cutest little blonde sisters. Its always interesting to see which one is going to behave and which one isn’t when there are two kids very close in age.  Wait a minute, they are usually both perfect angels because they love to sit still… too funny.

Happy October. I’ve been really busy with family portraits this fall here in Colorado. The weather has been exceptional really for October and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the cold weather will hold off a little longer. If you are interested in scheduling a family portrait session, contact the studio. We still have time for some great holiday photos and family photo treasures. Here are a few from last weekend. Enjoy.

Here’s a recent portrait session with two sisters, Jessica and Amanda. One sister lives here in Colorado and the other one lives in Florida.  These are a Christmas gift for their parents who live in Kansas, so shhhh, its a surprise. Contact me if you’d still like to get holiday photos done. Visit our website and click on the Contact Us page. Mention you visited my blog for a special gift: Holiday Photos with A Fine Photographer - good through the end of 2009.
