Remember Anna? After we had so much fun twirling in the park, we went back to her house for a little tea party. She was very serious about making her tea just right!

Then her mom showed her how to sip her tea like a lady. I am not sure if she listened!

Teddy Bear’s make for excellent company, don’t you think?

Then Anna had enough of being prim and proper. It was time to bring out the cape. And the superhero goggles. It makes me want to be three again!

Yes, it is good to be three. You play all day. You drink tea with your mom, and go exploring with your dad. You get to wear capes, or tutus, or even a crown. The sky is the limit, and the laughter never ends. I know Anna will look back on these pictures someday, and even if she can’t remember being that young- she will know she was loved and she will know how special she was right from the start. And maybe one day when she is having a bad day, she will look at herself as a little girl and be able to once again see the world through those green goggles. Simple and perfect and fun.

Last time I was back in Colorado, I had the privilege to photograph this beautiful family. The weather tried to fool us, and rained up until our session began. Then the clouds broke and the beautiful Colorado sunshine made it’s appearance. No wonder they were all smiles!

This one warms my heart-siblings are the best!

Isn’t she beautiful?

I love the mischief hiding behind his smile!

A few weeks ago had I the pleasure of attending Cheryl Muhr’s Secret Workshop in Phoenix. It was an amaxing experiene, and I left not only feeling like a better photographer, but a better person. This is just a small sample of the amazing kids I had the opportunity to photograph.
