Wedding at Arrowhead Golf Course Colorado - Jennifer and Keith

I was a second shooter with Stebner Photography for Jennifer and Keith's wedding this summer. Scott Stebner was really great to work with.  I was impressed with his professionalism and positive attitude.  He kept everyone smiling throughout the day!

Jennifer and Keith had their wedding and reception at Arrowhead Golf Course.  I couldn't have asked for a better backdrop for a wedding, and Events Unwrapped did a fantastic job, especially as day-of coordinators.  I'd recommend them to anyone.

I could really see all the love everyone had for each other in this wedding.  Jennifer and Keith were all smiles, and Jennifer's dance with her father blew me away.  The dance started as what you might expect, but they surprised everyone when they suddenly began a rehearsed dance, including Michael Jackson's "Thriller" dance and the dance to Soulja Boy's "Crank That."

Braeden's Birthday

My nephew Braeden just turned 3, so our family held a little birthday party.  I couldn't stop photographing him, as well as my 7-year-old niece Makenna and another family member, Eastynn.  Kids are so much fun to photograph!  They rarely notice a camera, which allows for some really natural portraits and candids.  The relaxed kids coupled with some gorgeous light made me one happy photographer!    

I love providing natural, non-posed portraits for families because they're not the kind of photos most people take.  They provide a sense of what it felt like to be present in that moment.  This type of portrait is also how we often remember people as time passes.  Braeden has a love for certain toys over other ones, and he and Makenna spend lots of time playing together, and that's what the portraits reflect.  He's all over the place and full of energy, so that's what I hoped to capture.

Braeden's toy of the day was this flashlight!

Cutest hide-and-seek I've ever seen!

Braeden's so full of conversation!  

Braeden and Makenna get along so well!  I'm amazed whenever I spend time with them of how considerate they are of each other.  If one gets something to eat, they won't start until the other one has something too.

Braeden was SO excited to hear the siren of a passing fire truck.  Daddy's a firefighter, so he knows that sound!

Makenna wanted to hold Braeden like a baby for this photo, and Braeden lets her do whatever she wants!  Such a great pair!
