If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I’d save every day like a treasure and then
Again, I would spend them with you
Jim Croce, Time in a Bottle
I have a confession to make. In my work as a Colorado family photographer, there’s one thing I enjoy more than photographing a moment in a family’s life…
…and it’s having the privilege of following a family over the years through multiple kinds of photography sessions!
It’s such a joy to see people go through engagement and wedding photos, then newborn photos and family photos as kids are born and grow. I think it’s one of the reasons I prefer to take natural family portraits. Working outside lets me capture each person’s unique personality and the fun dynamics among all the members of a family, whether it be between spouses or parent and child, or among siblings.
When the Perry family wanted me to be their Colorado family photographer in honor of their daughter’s first birthday, I couldn’t resist. I’ve known them for the past 10 years, and during that time, I’ve had the pleasure of photographing Andrew and Leslie for their engagement, their wedding, and then as their beautiful children have come along. And as a bonus, fall family photos are some of the best when it comes to lighting, textures, and colors – they’re irresistible! I couldn’t wait for our session, and the results were worth it.
What a perfect fall day it was for Boulder family photos. The lighting was glorious and soft, yet the weather was unseasonably warm and so totally comfortable for just having fun (and letting me capture the joy their family obviously experiences together) in our outdoor photography session.
Capturing a moment in time…that’s what it’s all about when I get to photograph a family. In this moment, sweet 1-year old Louisa has just gotten in a couple of bottom teeth, taking a tiny step toward the world of childhood and away from the preciousness of the baby years. Her big brother Archer is 3, looking every bit the little man as he protects his little sister and loves her so well.
The glorious Boulder, Colorado area was in fine form – these mountain family photos showcase such a stunning backdrop that shows off this family’s playful spirit and abundant love for each other. Thanks, Perry family, for the opportunity to spend this time with you in such a lush setting!
Well, there is a reason that they keep coming back to you. These images are beautiful! It must be so wonderful to get to watch a family transform and grow like this. To create their most precious memories. I love this style of natural family portraits!
