This family was SO much fun! (As you can tell by some of their photos). All of them had a great time, and even though the weather was just “so-so”, they made the best of it and I think we got some great photos to really capture them as a family.

Thanks again Caffee family! I had a great time with you all!!!

This last weekend I took a trip back to my hometown of Hutchinson Kansas. Yes, I am from the midwest, the heartland. I love love love living in Colorado, but there will always be a special place in my heart for “home”. My hometown is also home of the Kansas State Fair, which comes yearly. And in my family it has become a yearly tradition for all of us to go home and spend some time together….eating as much overly fried, fried food, as we possibly can. And we did. And it was wonderful. And I felt sick afterwards. (Come to think of it, I still do!).

While I was home, I also got to take some photos of this little one, Miss M. M’s mom is one of our long time family friends, so I was so glad when she asked me to take some photos of her. We were originally going to do them at the fair, but after going there on a Saturday night, I’m sure glad we didn’t as it would have been NUTS trying to take pictures of a 2 year old at the fair. So, instead we decided to do them at one of the local parks. Much easier, and no risk of losing her! And here she is. Miss Maddy. What a CUTIE!

Thanks again Angie and Jason for asking me to take some photos of your little ones! I had so much fun!

Onto why I’m really blogging! One of those good friends that I was talking about, had her baby in June and she called me up and asked if I would do some newborn photos before Olivia got any bigger. And I said “of course”. .

This is Olivia. 

She is a REALLY pretty baby.

She is a really good baby.

She is only 5 weeks old, and can already almost hold hear head up and smile.

This is Olivia’s parents.

What an adorable little family. I just love them.

And they are already great parents. You can tell simply by how much they love their little “Livey”.

Thanks Bryan and Steph for asking me to photograph miss Olivia. I am honored and had such a great time with you all! Can’t wait to finish up our shoot in Boulder in a couple of weeks!

(**side note, we were going to do more of the 3 of them in Boulder, but there ended up being a pretty gnarly storm that came through with a “flash-flood” advisory. So, we decided it might not be the best idea to take an infant into a flood zone…So, check back in a couple of weeks for some more photos of the 3 of them! I can’t wait!!!).

Well, now onto what this post is actually about! After my last day of work, I headed to Hutch to spend a week with my parents for Thanksgiving. While I was in town I had the honor of getting together with the Millers for some family portraits. I knew Jill and Kevin back in high school. They were high school sweethearts, and might have been one of the best looking couples around. So, of course they were going to have some of the best looking kids around! They now have 4 kids…that’s right 4!!! But, they are all SO well behaved and SO cute! Here are some photos from the day.

See what I mean?! B-E-A-UTIFUL!

And now you also see what I mean about the kids being WAY cute!
