We’re beyond words in excitement about being pregnant. The baby is due in January (thanks, Baby T, for coming in between wedding seasons!) Lynn is feeling great having carried through her first trimester….we already feel the “time flying by” of having a child. Regardless, we’re so happy and wanted to share the news with all our friends, family, and clients out there. Thanks for your support!
Here is Lynn’s 8, 9 and 12 week belly shots. As expected, there’ll be many more images to come!
Ten Mile Station on the mountainside of Breckenridge, Colorado was the perfect location for Todd and Katherine’s wedding. Two words come to mind….beautiful and relaxed….the mountain weather couldn’t have been more spectacular (three days before the wedding Lynn and I were there to scout photo locations and it was snowing)…their dog Lucy was very well behaved during the ceremony….and the flowers put together by Bloom were amazing.
Thanks and Congratulations to Todd & Katherine, we’re so happy for you both!
Sometimes, the most amazing, magical experiences fall into your lap…..
As you know through Illumine Photography, I am able to express my love for expectant mothers and children, and this has become such an important part of our lives. Additionally, we are constantly finding our path to a greener, healthier world through our lives & our business. So you can imagine how thrilled we were to discover “Mindful Mama,” a magazine that will soon be launching in print and on the web. Their mission is so inline with our own, that it truly felt like we were meant to cross paths with the magazine’s creator & Editor-In-Chief, Sarah Kraft. (Have a look at Mindful Mama here!)
Sarah is so passionate about a mother’s right to be educated about birth choices, that you can’t help but be moved when listening to her. Sarah is one of those people who not only has a vision, but acts on it and makes it a reality. Being in her presence is so inspiring and uplifting! This weekend, we were gifted with the opportunity of joining Sarah in Telluride for an interview with Ani DiFranco!!
We’ve always wanted to experience the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, and what a way to do it! Dave videotaped and I photographed the interview. Ani is such an inspirational mindful mama herself, and being at the interview was just amazing. She is so down to earth and REAL. We had a great time listening to Sarah interview Ani about motherhood, touring as a musician and mother, and life in general. Afterwards, we were treated to her performance and the rest of the bands that day at the music festival. Music, mountains, moms….what an awesome time!
Check out these photos from the Ani interview and performance. We’ll have many more images from the Telluride Bluegrass Festival posted soon, so check back!

P.S. ~ If you are a parent or on the road to becoming one, we know you’ll love this magazine, too. Here are a few of the things Mindful Mama believes in:
• Simplicity
• Products that are non-toxic and produced using sustainable practices
• Companies that make efforts to be green, reduce their carbon footprint and donate a portion of profits to a good cause
• Mother-owned businesses or parent-friendly workplaces
Check it out!!
Tom & Julie met in the dental industry, both practice dentistry in Iowa, and had bubble gum at their wedding reception. How cool is that? This was our first wedding for this year, and it was great to photograph such a fun and relaxed couple! They had a beautiful wedding at St. Elizabeth’s, and a super fun reception at the Brown Palace downtown. Congratulations Tom & Julie!!
We had the pleasure of attending and photographing the Highlands Mommies annual picnic on Sunday. The Highlands Mommies is a parent networking group in northwest Denver with over 1000 members! There must have been 3-400 at the picnic, with lots of awesome food, face painting, fire engines spraying water; the picnic works.
We were there photographing for Lynn’s Illumine Photography , so we held a series of mini photo sessions with families and their kids, and shot a ton of candids throughout the afternoon. We left there with well over four hundred great shots of all the incredible cuteness. As you can imagine, picking our favorites from that many is an impossible task, but here’s a large handful of favs to make you say “awwww”…
