A quick peek for the Malott family who had a warm, wonderful session in the middle of a field … at dusk. It creates yummy pictures and I am sure they are going to love all their images. I am scrambling to get ready for a last-minute trip with my mom and kids (decided last night!) so I made a moment to pick just the right image to share with you …   Aww. There’s my little guy. I love this picture! You do wonderful work. All of their pictures were absolutely terrific! CUTE baby! This image makes me smile!
3rd period. Choir. My saving grace in high school. The one place I could walk in every day and everything else would fall away when the first note rang out. Every child should have something like that. Something that inspires them to reach into their soul and give everything they’ve got … to be a part of something magical. Several years ago I had the opportunity to attend a fundraiser for an organization that provides just that kind of opportunity for children here in Denver. That day, Ballet Nouveau Colorado showed me how they touch the lives of children every day. And now Ballet Nouveau Colorado needs our help to stay alive. I received an e-mail a couple weeks ago talking of the difficult economic climate and how it has affected BNC. Without raising what seems an insurmountable sum by the end of July, the organization will have to close its doors, and hundreds of children will have to find other dance programs, and a few may not be able to dance anymore. This is a story that sings to me … it tells of the kids at Ballet Nouveau Colorado who have been touched so deeply, changed for the better and who may be cast aside if this organization doesn’t raise close to $190,000 by July 30th. Perhaps you will be touched, too. If you have ever been inspired or touched or saved because of the arts, please consider helping BNC now. They provide full scholarships to children in the Denver metro area … I have seen first hand the positive impact this has on kids who may otherwise fall through the cracks. Visit my Lenses of Love page to see a slideshow of a few of the kids who have been touched by these scholarships : lensesoflove.org. If we all come together and give what we can, BNC will be around for years to come, helping our community be a rich and vibrant place that helps our children reach their dreams … give a little or give a lot, it all helps: bncdance.com.

     no comments It is quite an honor when a talented photographer calls to have their family portraits taken. So often, photographers are the last ones in front of the camera. Many of us are either preserving memories with our cameras or are taking a break from holding a camera. It is so important to take the time and make the investment in having pictures taken and memories preserved. Life is fleeting and the images we have of our children and family are so much more than beautiful art. They provide memories in the best of times, but also when life takes unexpected turns. It is important to make the time, save the money and find someone you love to create images that will last a lifetime. Mary Elizabeth Graff called me for just that reason. She is always behind her camera creating beautiful images for other people … it was a joy to create images for her and her family. Take a peek at her gorgeous boys …       2 comments saw the slide show with the music- wonderful!- and a beautiful family!- from one photographer to another, these are fabulous!! i adored my session with the graffs and i see you did, too! Wonderful. Isaac is a big brother now. If you have been following my blog, you’ll remember Stephana, the adorable little girl that Isaac’s family adopted from Haiti. Stephana joined Isaac a little sooner than expected, due to the devastating earthquake in Haiti this past January. It has been a delight to watch as Stephana adapts to her new family and home … she is definitely coming out of her shell (and is completely in love with her big brother). I am posting a couple sneak peeks here, but will continue the story over on my Lenses of Love blog … dedicated to giving the gift of photography to others. So click on over to see even more images of Isaac and Stephana!
