Some thoughts

 
I have a favorite photographer in Ireland (Rinkadink Studios) and this morning she posted a picture of herself with her son.  She talks about how she wasn't loving her hair that day and how she felt fat - but she says that all the smiles and happiness make up for all that. I have been thinking about this all summer! I have blogged about it before, but I think it is wonderful coming from a photographer from a picture she was in! I have had so many mom's tell me they will book a session when they have lost that last 5 pounds, they never have. Your kids are only this age once and if you wait until you have lost such and such weight, your kids will have moved on (because that's what the little buggers do!) I have a few mom's that know this and I celebrate them to the moon and back! Even though they are uncomfortable, they know that this is important to do now! These times - whether it be babyhood, toddlerhood, that big middle kidhood or teenagehood, these times are not permanent and will be gone as quick as you make dinner. When your kids are losing teeth and there's that gaggle toothed smile - it will be gone in a month and when you see that picture you took at the zoo wishing they had more teeth years from now, you will wish you had taken more. Because it is adorable! And if you happen to be in that picture, your heart will melt. And you will wish you had taken more. Because it is adorable!
 
Janine, from Rinkadink, said it best, "Give your kid the gift of the happiest moment with his mum, to make him feel safe and secure and LOVED every time he sees it. Get in the damn pictures!!"
 
And so, I share a few of me and my kiddos (and one with my marvelous husband, the photo bomber.)  I could point out all the things I don't like.  Instead,  I will say that I love my kiddos and am glad I have these pictures!

Denver Family Portraits, Kalani and Todd

When Kalani called and said she wanted to do pictures at her house, I was so excited! I love doing pictures in people's homes! I worry about toddlers in their own homes, they tend to be a little too comfortable and sometimes don't listen, but this little guy was amazing! He was definitely the star of the show! If you can't tell by this image, he likes attention!  And I just love how loved he is!  It is very heartwarming!  This little guy and his grandpa have this very special relationship, they can just look at each other and laughter commences.  It is super extra special!       For more information on High School Seniors, Portraits and Weddings call Natalie at 720-837-5378 or email natalie@nataliebeckphotography.com.  You can see work at www.nataliebeckphotography.com

Boulder Senior Pictures, Sonny

I did Sonny's sisters Senior Pictures last year, she has been friends with my son since kindergarten and I wasn't even thinking that Sonny would be next! And so close to his sister, I should have known, but I was still remembering him as a little middle schooler! When he got out of the car, I couldn't believe how tall he had gotten! All I could think was where was I last year?!?? And then I remembered, it was mostly inside and away from people. I am still like how did he grow up??   When we were in this spot there were a lot of people looking out over the point, I really wanted to do pictures here and I was hoping they would all clear out.  And they did, just long enough for us to do some pictures before the next group came in.  I love these!  And I love that the sun was right where Sonny was! Sonny's sister did her pictures here and it was covered in snow and I had no idea how close we were to an edge that just dropped off like that (ahhhhh!) or that there was this be

Fort Lupton Senior Pictures, Isaac

I was so excited to be doing another session with baseball! And then we got to the field - that is usually unlocked - and it was locked and the sprinklers were on. So that was slightly disappointing. We were still able to do a few on the outside, but I still wished we had been able to go inside and not get soaking wet! I love this one!  This one was my silver lining to the gates being locked.  I wouldn't have thought to do  if we had been on the inside.  It totally reminds me of endless summers and having fun! When I first arrived Isaac's mom told me how she found me and at first it all made sense... and then I was so confused.  She said she found me on Zillow, at first that sounded perfectly reasonable.  And then I thought, Zillow is a site for houses...  I am sure my face went from pleased to confused... But thank you Zillow for listing my business name because otherwise she wouldn't have called. I love this one! Isaac has such a marvelous smile!  And he is such a wonderf
