After a few months in transition, I am finally ready to get caught up on blog posts and what better way to kick things off with this cutie pie. Everyone, meet little Trenton! He was the first baby in the new studio which is now located in Rifle, Colorado.
Baby Trenton was born on January 28th, 2016 at 8:07 pm. He weighed in at 6.12 lbs and measured 19.5 inches tall. Oh my goodness he is so darn handsome!
Welcome to the world little man and congratulations to mommy and daddy!

This little sweet pea is a St. Patty's Day baby! Little Pernille Tove was born on March 17th @ 2:55 pm weighing in at 6 lbs 15 oz. and measuring 20 1/4 inches long! Pernille and her adorable sister, Lena, made a visit to the studio and we captured some amazing shots. Pernille was the perfect model and she did almost everything I asked of her. I really enjoy getting to work with all these cute newborn babies!
Welcome to the world, Pernille!

A while back (several months actually) I spent a chilly afternoon with one of my dear friends and her super adorable family. Oh these little men melt my heart! And the faces they both make are just to die for!
All hats off to this young lady who just graduated from DeBeque High School! Alyza is such a sweetheart and I had the pleasure of photographing her twice during her final year of high school as she was one of my senior model reps. Alyza is a country girl at heart and has always been active in HS Rodeo as well as a member of the volleyball and basketball teams. I am so excited to see all that she accomplishes in her bright future!
Congratulations Alyza!

Folks, meet Krista! She is a recent high school graduate of Fruita Monument. I've never met such a sweet young lady with such a playful sense of humor. I had so much fun photographing Krista and helping her to step outside of her comfort zone. We giggled and joked around throughout her entire session and let me tell you, this lady can come up with some real knee-slapping wise cracks! Her awesome work ethic and humorous antics are sure to take her far in life!
Congratulations, Krista!

It's a BOY!
I am pleased to formally introduce you all to little man Kaizen Wesley Field who made his way into this big world on February 12th @ 1:39 pm! Kaizen weighed in at 8.5 lbs and measured 21 inches long, such a handsome little fella. Proud parents Chris and Aspen are the perfect loving parents and I was so tickled to have them visit me in the studio. Kaizen was an absolute angel during his entire portrait session! I look forward to watching this little guy grow up!
Welcome to the world Kaizen!
Congratulations, Chris and Aspen!

Why plan a winter wedding?
As a wedding vendor I know that the busiest months for marriage are May through September and you can be sure that couples book the vendors they want up to a year in advance. Couples often miss out on the perfect venue or wedding photographer or even the most popular DJ because the summer months fill up so quickly. So, why not plan a winter wedding?
Here are a few reasons you might want to consider holding off until the snow flies!
~ A winter wedding provides a magical feel of "winter wonderland"!
~ Guests schedules are less busy during the winter months because most people plan family vacations throughout the warmer season. You are sure to see a lot more RSVP's from your guest list!
~ The snow and dreary backdrops are surprisingly beneficial when planning out your color scheme as they pretty much go with anything. You can add as much contrast as you like without worrying about whether or not your wedding colors will clash with the freshly mowed green grass.
~ If you are a holiday fanatic then you have the option of planning for a Christmas or New Year's themed wedding
~ Most of all: Winter weddings can be much lighter on the pocket book and your budget as most vendors offer discounts during the slower seasons! (That's reason enough right there!)
Check out the video below to see what myself and the pros at I Do and Parties Too and The Bride and Bloom Design Company can do to help you plan the perfect winter wedding!
