My husband’s family and this family go back almost 50 years!! They are loud and fun and always surrounded by a flurry of activity! There is always a smile and a good hearty chuckle involved when spending time with them. This summer, Gene and Cindy celebrated 50 years of marriage by having a small ceremony […]

This Denver extended family session is all about resilience. 2020 was a tough year as this family lost their patriarch.  Renee and her husband would have celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary this year.  However, she has pushed forward with the love and support of her beautiful daughters. It is so nice that Diana and Marlena […]

Donna frantically called me the Monday before Christmas to see if I could do an extended family session.  Their other photographer had cancelled on them and they had a limited window to get family pictures.  After some creative planning we managed to get a session booked for just a few days later! One of the […]

Meet one of the newest LiLo Families!  The Smiths came to me via Instagram and I was thrilled to get to know them. They are a big ol’ blended family!  I love seeing two families come together in a beautiful way. When I asked Leana to describe her family she said “half shy….half wild”.  I […]

As I have been looking back, I realized that I never shared these photos from last spring.  Time to share them now! Each year my sister and I get the kids together and do a photo session for my mom for Mother’s Day.  In 2019, we missed it!  Between the two of us, we have […]

Extended family pictures have always been a favorite of mine.  Some other photographers cringe when they hear “big family session” but I rejoice!   This extended families is near and dear to my heart! In high school I called Pat “mom” as she was like a second mom to me and I was best friends with […]

Whew.  I am going to try to get through this post without crying….but no guarantees.   Last year our church merged with another church from Lakewood and we got a whole new bunch of AMAZING people.  This family was part of this wonderful group.  I started noticing a comfy chair at the front of the […]

Memory making sessions have a special place in my heart.  I loved getting an email from Emily asking me to do a photo session as a gift for her extended family while they were all in town for Christmas. At the time I didn’t realize that I knew everyone in her family (except for her….isn’t […]

This family has been faithful friends and clients for so many years!  We have done ministry alongside each other, celebrated together, mourned together and enjoyed friendship for years and I am so thankful!  At the time of this session we were trying to add up how many times they have been behind my camera and […]
