"It's simple, they say, and you too have come into the world to do this, to go easy, to be filled with light, and to shine."

here's hoping you (and I) will do even more of these things in 2012.

wishing you the best of the best new year's wishes.

Christmas.Day - Fort collins portrait photographer

If you were in our home on Christmas day, it would have looked a lot like this.

I think we managed to keep Christmas well, dear Scrooge.  

May we remember, as you admonished, to honor it in our hearts the whole year long.

among many others, these two really do that for me.

love you, brother.  love you, nephew.

and the rest of you (you know who you are) that shake all my nonsense out in the name of love.

This beautiful pregnant woman is a gifted large format photographer.

I have seen some of her prints in person and they are truly gorgeous.

Hoping to get my girls in front of her lens one of these days.

{Portra 400 film}

I had the good fortune of getting together with Kiera as well as meeting a few new photographers (many thanks Leslie & Alisha!) over Thanksgiving break.  I forced myself to shoot film (ya like how I put that?) and I really wished I hadn't because the lab (which I will graciously not name) royally screwed up the developing on both rolls of film I shot.  The color balance is so off that it looks like a kindergartner may have been behind the wheel ... big ugh.  I repaired the image above, but it took quite a bit of monkeying around in LR and PS.  So much for the time-saving feature of shooting film!  Go here to see some of the fun photos Kiera took of me that day.  Also?  I'm so in love with this series she took of Leslie's laugh.  Wishing I had a series just like that capturing the laughter of my own girlies three.  Thanks to all three of you for the fun afternoon.  Would really love a repeat.
