Ever see a photographer who starts out with a 365 day project, or even a 52 week project and never finishes? Yeah, me too. Well, I recently joined a group of a few other busy photographers who decided to commit to a 12 month project! If we fail this, we’ll be taking donations for a time management seminar. The best part is that it will be totally candid, lifestyle shots of each of our own families/lives. We don’t even have to dredge up random people or make our kids pose for us. We’re calling the series “The Story of ________” and we’ll each be filling in our own blanks. At the end of this post is a link to another photographer who participated and she’ll be linking to someone else. It’s a whole big circle of stories in pictures. Click through and enjoy!

This was a very special family for me. There is a long back story about them (you can read their blog here) but basically the amazing mama of this baby girl had a miscarriage around the same time that she unexpectedly lost her sister. The mama got pregnant and shortly after started the process of becoming the legal parents of her niece (the middle girl on the left).  They are a sweet, amazing, caring, and fun family. I’m so blessed that I got to take the new little miracle’s newborn pictures. What a sweet time that probably is too crazy to even take stock, but at least they have these images to cherish forever.

I had so much fun with this little guy!  He has two older sisters and they are totally in love with this little guy. His mama was so wonderful to come up to Denver for his pictures. He was a cute little guy that was a surprise breech…and a homebirth to boot!  Yup, his mama is amazing. She’s also a good friend of mine. Meet her new little guy, Trevor:

I had so much fun photographing this family! They not only dressed well, but they were so easy to pose and shoot. I caught some of my favorite images of this family just interacting together. They were not only a really sweet family, but their handsome little guy stole my heart with his shy and endearing smile. Swoon!!! Meet the K family:

Back in August I had the fabulous opportunity to attend a workshop on baby posing. I’m so incredibly excited to have new skills and tricks for getting those amazing shots that parents love of their new babies!!  Besides getting to meet two awesome photographer teachers, I also got to meet some other photographers from around the country.  I feel like I have an even better understanding of posing (mostly little details, etc.), and an overwhelming urge to go out and hunt down my very own loft studio, lol.  Here are a few shots from the workshop:
