I want to thank everyone who came out this year for the Mommy & Me mini sessions! I truly enjoyed these sessions as they mean so much to me. As a mom, I know that molding my little people into respectable human beings is a hard and thankless job! But we do it because we ADORE their sweet little faces, stinky little toes and melt-your-heart giggles. Yet, we often forget to get in front of the camera and share in the fun WITH them! I want my kids to look back and see that I was present in their lives and that I did actually enjoy being around them! Happy Mother's Day to all you WONDERFUL mommas out there! ~ Nickie

Oh the wind is lashing lusterly
And the trees are thrashing thrusterly
And the leaves are rustling gusterly
So it’s rather safe to say
That it seems that it may turn out to be
It feels that it will undoubteadly
Looks like a rather blustery day today
It seems that it may turn out to be
Feels that it will undoubteadly
Looks like a rather blustery day today

For this family, we had an incredibly windy day - it is Colorado after all - but they were fabulous, and we got some great images. (It's doesn't hurt that they are a gorgeous family!)

Here's one of my favorite families! We had a perfect day for pictures and they brought the most fabulous prop! It was a full session; the van, the beach, some paddling and finally a cake smash! SO much fun!

I had the pleasure of meeting this gorgeous family at an equally gorgeous location. They were expecting baby number three so I was able to sneak in a few maternity shots too!! I loved the spirit of their little ones, they were such sweethearts! 

Welcome to the Nolan Family! They moved to Colorado, and Colorado welcomed them with beautiful weather for their session. 

A little over a year ago I was fortunate enough to witness something magical - the arrival of Nikolas! It was a highly anticipated and nerve-wracking experience as with any arrival of a baby, only this one was extra special, as Nikolas was part of an adoption story. 

He was so TINY! So tiny, and squishy and handsome and PERFECT!

And now one year later, he is EVEN MORE ADORABLE! How is that even possible! I had so much fun at his one year session, and he had SO much fun with his cake!!! Happy Birthday Niko!

Recently I had the pleasure of photographing this gorgeous family. It felt special to me because little Miss A was my first Newborn I photographed as NJP and it was so great to see her SO BIG!! Happy birthday little one! 

I just love spending time with families. I love capturing the special moments and their personalities, but I also love it when they let go and show their silly sides.....we had so much fun on this shoot!
