Family Fun in Evergreen- Denver Family Portrait Photographer

The S family planned their Thanksgiving weekend in Denver and it was time to get some updated family photography. We planned to meet at Evergreen Lakehouse and the weather was to be mid 50's, Perfect! Well, that morning, the snow clouds started rolling in and so did the cold temperatures. They also informed me how "unphotogenic" they were.  I couldn't beleive it because as a photographer, that is what everyone says that about themselves. People think I am looking for something specific.  But really, I want to capture them and the essentce of their family. This family was no exception! And looking at these photos, I can say that we didn't get  shots of an "unphotogenic" family. Not nearly! And they didn't even look like they were freezing...which they were. They are delightful people and I am happy to have captured these images for them to cherish forever. Thank you to the S. Family, you are all awesome! And a big Thanks to Laura S. for the refferral!

Denver Family Portrait Photography- Fall Family Portraits

It's that time of the year, changing colors, warm clothes, cool-crisp air, and trips to Starbucks for Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Oh wait! That was all about what I like during the Fall. Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year!!! As a professional portrait photographer, I LOVE when families want to bundle up and get outside in the morning for Fall Family photography. The colors of the leaves contrasted with green grass, make the PER-FECT family photo. Here in Denver, we have a vast amount of landscape to pick from too.

Every year, AND I mean EVERY year, families miss the perfect time for Fall photos. My clients call Lori J Photography in December and rush to get pictures in the FRIGID December snow, rush the family off to a photography session, rush print their Holiday cards, RUSH, RUSH, RUSH!  I feel their sense of urgency! Lets face it, you have a hard job as parents and Holiday cards probably do not enter your mind until Thanksgiving. By then, it's cold, you are swamped with family gatherings, holiday shopping, baking, and keeping the kids occupied inside. So instead, you settle for a general holiday card just to say hello, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year.

Be on top of it this year. Take a moment to evaluate what you desire in your family portrait. Let Lori J Photography take care of your photographs and your holiday cards and enhance your family look.

Your photography session is customized to your families personality and interests. It's not just a picture! Anyone can take a picture. Family portrait photography is about capturing a moment in time and capturing the essence of your family. This year invest in more than just a picture. Invest in an experience!

Take a look at some other family sessions that I have blogged on in the past.

The Beauty of Art

I am pleased to say that all of my searches last year and endless hours hunting online and in person paid off. I have found so many wonderful distributors and vendors that make awesome products that I can offer to all of you, my clients. I believe this is very important because, not only will you get awesome photographs by yours truly, but you can have an array of products to choose from to display your FAVORITE images on your wall in your home! That is exciting.

My job as a photographer is to bring art into your home. Most of the time that art is of you BUT, that doesn't mean that you don't need to hang it up! It is a way for you to relish in your life and all of the emotion that it brings. All you will need is a hammer and a nail.

If you had a shoot from me in the past and would like to find out how your home can be decorated with beautiful canvas prints or lovely photographs, please contact me.

Sneak Peak: Ohh December Babies

We started off the newborn session photo session with a baby not loving that we put her out in the air with no comforts of her warm, fluffy blanket.  But between breaks and cute snuggles with mom and dad, Baby McKenzie settled for a swaddle from Daddy and was off to sleep.  Newborn photography can be tricky and really stressful for new parents, but the M family rocked it. Enjoy the sneak peak!

Tossed in the air

Being carefree is something that comes natural to kids.  When on my photo shoots, I like to have fun with kids and do things they love to do. On this day, it was having fun playing into an imaginary bear Fuzz and his owner Leili.  All dolled up with a pink, pressed coat, matching Converse, and a sequined heart shirt, Leili and Fuzz were all pepped up for a day in the park in Denver shooting with yours truly. Remember, having fun is important!
