Triple the fun | Colorado Triplet Baby photographer

My good friend Stacey of Stacey Potter Photography had a triplet shoot last week, and I got to go help!  After all, 3 babies = 12 limbs to keep organized, and they are all boys- so add 3 other parts to keep hidden!  We had a great time- and the babies were wonderful.  They all took a turn fussing, then they all slept, then they all melted down together.  It was fun!  Stacey took a couple of photos of me working- thanks Stacey!!  And yes, my baby comes with me to shoots right now.  Eventually I will teach her to use a bottle, but for now she is my little assistant.

Just have to share a few more | Fort Collins Baby Photographer

I am having so much fun editing these photos.  What a stunning family!  I just have to share a few more!

Different is good | Timnath, Colorado Baby Photographer

I had the honor of photographing this beautiful family and newborn on Valentine's day in Timnath (which is just outside of Fort Collins) this past weekend.  They already had one stunning little girl, and now have added a beautiful baby boy to the family.  He did NOT like my bean bag, and made sure that he didn't have to stay there long!  As different as it was to leave my bean bag behind- it was good!  This family is beautiful and I was blessed to take more photos of "togetherness" that I usually do.  Their DARLING little girl had me giggling through the whole session!  I wish I had gotten video of her animal sounds and fantastic expressions- it was a hoot!!

As long as he was swaddled and in mommy's arms, or listening to daddy play his guitar, he was happy.  What a beautiful and lovely family to spend time with.

7 Weeks | Englewood, Colorado Baby Photographer

We are only a few days away from announcing the winner of the Best of 2009!  It is a close race- so be sure to vote for your favorite!

If you have children, you know how quickly they grow.  The first couple of weeks after they arrive seem to drag as you adjust to less sleep and a new routine- then suddenly when it seems like you might lose your mind, they smile at you.  Then someone hits the fast forward button.  It gets faster with each child.  Teagan has grown so quickly.  We celebrated 7 weeks together yesterday.  SEVEN.  I feel like I was just at the hospital having her last week.  Of course, I feel the same way about my 4 year old- and my parents say they feel the same way about me.

It teaches me to value each day to the deepest extent.  I am blessed to be able to capture them often.  I wish that I had participated in a Belly-2-Baby or First Year plan with my oldest.  I have a million snapshots of her, but I wish we had gotten professional portraits every couple months for her.  My younger 2 kids just kind of fell into Belly-2-Baby, and I know that someday they will love to look back in their albums made just for them.  They change SO fast.  SO fast.

My children and husband are my heart.  I love them beyond what words can convey.

I had so much fun doing her 7 week pictures yesterday (yes, I do weekly portraits their first year-- they look different every day!)  I even made a flower clip to use in that pretty hair of hers- and it will be fun to use with little girls in the future.

Comfy Joey | Denver, Colorado Commercial Photographer

I had SO much fun shooting the Comfy Joey Spring collection!  The mommies and babies all looked beautiful and did a great job- not to mention the fact that these ring slings are STUNNING!  The colors are vibrant and they are amazingly well made.  I am an avid baby-wearer, but had never tried a ring sling before- and I have to tell you, after getting to try these, I think I'm sold!  My 2 year old thinks they are about the coolest thing ever and has LOVED riding in them the last couple days.  I think he missed being worn.

Could I have had more beautiful models?  Lucky lucky me!  And to top it all off The owner of Comfy Joey had an experience ring sling wearer come and help style everyone.  It was wonderful to have the help and knowledge.  I hope to work with Ayesha and her sling again in the future!

Thank you | Denver Photographer

To all of my past an present clients, to those who I will meet in the future, thank you.  I am thankful for all of you.  You all allow me to have the very best job in the world; helping make memories for all of you.  Thank you for your business, your friendship, and most of all for trusting me with capturing you and your loved ones. I am so looking forward to the next year with all of you!  I wish I had more words in order to express my thanksgiving, but without getting emotional, that is about as far as I can get.

All shiny and new | Denver Portrait Photographer

It's a blog!  I am so excited to present to you the all new Brink Street Photography blog.  Here you will find sneak previews of recent sessions, new products, special events, and many many other fun and exciting things that we just couldn't present on the flash website!  It will be a continual work in progress, adding new features as Brink Street grows.  I hope that you continue to join us! So lets get started by introducing my family (my most captured "subjects"!)

This is me, Kim... and that little bump is our soon to arrive 3rd kiddo.  She will be here before we know it and can't wait to meet her.  I can assure you that you will see plenty of her here on the blog just as soon as she arrives.

I am blessed with the most amazing family in the whole world.  I have a best friend and husband all rolled into one- which is fantastic because we can talk for hours, be complete goofballs (something we are exceedingly good at), but we get to hold hands and snuggle too!  Doesn't get much better than that.  Plus he's really really good looking....

We take care of my lovely grandmother, a wonderful addition to our lives.  She is 86 and my kids are nuts about her.  She is a loving and gentle soul and we are so happy that we get to share this time of her life with her.

And then there are my babies...  God lent them to me for a little while, and I promised to enjoy them to the fullest!  My oldest daughter will be 4 in January, and my son will be 2 in January.  Yes, they will all have birthdays within 2 weeks of Christmas.  Go us for timing!  They are the most amazing kids- little balls of energy.  They are the truest photographer's children- simply meaning they see the camera and RUN!  You'd be amazed what we have to do to get their pictures.  I admit it, I'm not against a tiny bit of bribery.

And of course, we cannot forget our oldest, our sweet doggy daughter- the one who loves all of us with everything she has, tolerates the kids clambering on her, and gets WAY too many table scraps.

Now for the fun part!  Here's where you get to play along, and maybe even win a prize!

We have THREE prizes up for grabs!
