Mothers Day Shoot

As I have been pushing moms to get in front of the camera I wanted to share a little session I recently had. Mom was visiting and was nice enough to give us all hair cuts in exchange for pictures of her son. Being the week before mothers day, I had to have her jump in with them :)

The best part, we took them right by my house, no traveling required. 
Challenge for today: Where ever you are, you can always find a little spot that is picture worthy!

Happy Mothers Day!

I hope that you had a wonderful mothers day! Mine was the best I've had (I will probably say the same thing next year :) Very relaxing, love pouring out of my children and husband and an overwhelming love for motherhood.

This year my goal is to be in front of the camera more. This is hard for me, because I am SO much more comfortable behind the lens :) So for my mothers day gift this year I decided to get some pictures of me and my kids. I got together with a local photographer, Corrie with CLB Photography. It was so much fun and I now have SO many great pictures to cherish :) Thanks Corrie!!

Here are a few of my favorite:

I LOVE, love, LOVE these pictures! I am so happy I had them taken. And, moms, when you schedule with me be prepared to get a few more pictures taken of yourself :)
Believe me, you will be SO grateful!

Hot Mama! {Thornton Colorado Photographer}

This was a really fun session for 2 reasons. 

1. It is nice to take pictures of adults, they are fun and all you have to work on is getting them comfortable and bringing out their personality in the pictures.

2. This is a really good friend of mine that has had an amazing weight loss journey. She lost 65lbs in less than a year and became a LIFETIME member of weight watchers for doing so.

Meet my friend Ashley, she is the kick-off to a new package I am offering which I call "Hot Mama". 

All too often moms get put behind the camera and seldom have pictures of themselves. If you are like me the only pictures I have are ones that I hand the camera to my husband and ask him to snap a picture of me with one of my kids on a memorial event (eg. birthday, first day of school, Easter, etc.) I think it is so important for moms to get in front of the camera so they have something to pass on to their kids. Remember the pictures of our ancestors? Black and white images, stern face, proper pose, only them (no children). How lucky are we to have pictures of them that will last a lifetime! Unlike our foremothers I want to capture moms style, personality and beuaty so they can pass that onto the ones they love.
