Chelcie and Brayden are wonderful!  I now totally understand the sentiment that photographers talk about when they say that they SERIOUSLY LOVE their brides and grooms.  I can't really quite describe it.  I have done 2 weddings now and I can honestly say that I don't think I will ever forget either couple.  There is something about being a part of this part of their lives that makes your heart want to burst for them and know you could never forget them.  I love Brayden and Chelcie. What an amazing benefit to this job!  I get to find more people to love! I read a quote today...."in the end I want my heart to be covered in stretch marks"  I think it applies.  If I do this my whole life, think of how many people I will get to love!  Brayden is quiet, loving, kind, and looks at Chelcie the way all girls dream of being looked at. (oh, and he's a pilot! hence the airplane tie clip :)...)  Chelcie is genuine, easy to talk to, bubbly, and the sweetest girl you ever will meet.  Their personalities fit together perfectly.  This session was up above Sundance right at Aspen grove trailhead.  He saw her for the first time in her wedding dress looking as perfect as a woman can, they danced to their wedding song, and I am the luckiest because I got to be there!  Truly a privilege and something that I do not take lightly.  

My sweet babe is 1 year old!   This little shoot was interesting to do  :)  He wasn't super cooperative, but he sure made up for it in cuteness! I ended up with 3 different kinds of light cause we attempted a couple times throughout the day.  All the props are things people have made for him.  The light green blanket was made my my mother in law, the quilt and pillows were made by my mom, and the feather canvases in the background were painted by my sister Laura for his room.  I bought the bird but I included it because he LOVES it.  Every time we pass it  in the hall he get excited and wants to touch it and he says, "tweet tweet tweet!"
