Nick and Rachael

I'm in Seattle right now visiting my brother and his family, and I got set up with their friends for a photo shoot. This couple was absolutely perfect. They interacted so naturally and we got some stunning shots. It had been raining all day (all week, actually) and we just prayed and prayed it would stop for the shoot. It quit raining about ten minutes before the shoot, and started up again ten minutes after the shoot. It was a miracle! The lighting was gorgeous, and the locale (Robinswood Park in Bellevue) was perfect. Here is a preview of the many incredible shots of this adorable couple.

The Hurricane

This past weekend I got to photograph a little girl who is affectionately called "Hurricane Hadley" by her mother. The antics of this child have been profiled on Denver's Mile High Mamas, which her mother founded as a resource for parents in the Denver area. The site has a new article every day, lists of all the fun things going on in Denver, and forums where parents can connect with each other. The site will soon be featuring a giveaway of a free photo session and free 11x14 mounted and textured print from me! This should be coming some time in the next few days, so check the site often!

In the meantime, please enjoy these sweet pictures of this adorable girl, who was anything but a hurricane for the photo shoot. Much to her mother's delight.

So excited!

I am so thrilled to announce that Blue Prints Photography is now offering coffee-table albums! There is just one word for these albums: STUNNING! These albums are 10x10 inches and have 20 pages. What a GORGEOUS way to display the portraits from your session. Below are some sample pages. As a special bonus, the first two people to book a session will get $50 off the price of an album!

Little Tommy

I met Little Tommy's mom two-and-a-half years ago just after she'd had Tommy's big sister. She was visiting her mom in Denver and was referred to me by her aunt (a good friend of mine) to take pictures of her baby. Several months later, we moved to Los Angeles. My husband left on a business trip one day after we got there, so I was left in a strange, huge city, all alone with my two girls. Then my oldest got very sick and I didn't know what to do. I called my aforementioned friend back in Denver. She asked me if I had called Tommy's mom. It turned out that she lived only five minutes away from where we were staying. She and her husband came over that night, and she picked my girls and me up from the hospital the next morning. (The paramedics are happy to transport you to the hospital, but they don't provide return service). I consider it Divine Providence that in a city of ten-million people, where it takes literally two hours to drive from end to end, Tommy's mom was there for me. Literally the only person I knew was five minutes away. Thank you, Tommy's mom! Now here are some pictures of your beautiful baby.

Another blue-eyed beauty

I got to take pictures of this five-month-old today. Her mom told me they hadn't had much luck and weren't very happy with pictures they had gotten at a certain photo studio which shall remain nameless :) I think they'll be much happier with these ones! They really show the personality of this baby in her natural setting. The black and whites were gorgeous. Look at those huge eyes! And, I worked up a cute little personal card just for fun. (Names have been changed).

New Personal cards!

Blue Prints Photography is pleased to offer custom-made personal cards. Have you ever found yourself at a park, scrambling to find a piece of paper and a pen to write down a new friend's name and phone number? Use one of these chic and beautiful cards instead! All the rage, these new "Mommy" cards are a great way to pass along your information while showcasing your adorable children. Ask about them at your next photo session!

First photoshoot with my new camera

I just took this camera out of the box today, and I think I can say I am officially in love! All of these pictures were taken with this camera, except for two, which were taken with my old camera, which I also love. This gorgeous little girl is one of my daughter's best friends. The last picture is one of my "fine art" pieces. I absolutely adore it, along with all the rest. Enjoy!

Easter montages

These were so fun to put together. I love getting a wide range of expressions from kids and then making these montages. Parents love them, too, because they can see all the different sides of their children. Click on the pictures to see them larger. Enjoy!

Look at those blue eyes

You must click on these pictures to enlarge to get the full effect. The eyes of this little one are so beautiful and captivating. She has a rare kidney condition and has to have dialysis every day and will eventually need a transplant. Her adorable brother will probably need one, too, as they suspect he has the same condition. In the meantime, they are happy, beautiful children, and I'm so glad I got to do portraits of them!

Kate

I don't know how this baby could get any cuter! Here are some favorites from our photo shoot yesterday. She is four months old.
Look what I can do with my feet! Pretty cool, huh?

Wait, wait, I heard the FUNNIEST joke the other day!

Look at all the angels up there!

For my next trick, I'll put my entire fist into my mouth!

Maybe that wasn't such a good idea afterall....
