Grace was itty bitty- but still a moose compared to her brother. Just a touch less of a pistol too ;)

I think Sarah and Jim are really good at choosing baby names. Sam is such a fabulous name (I have a Sam too). I think little boys named Sam are some of the cutest babies in the world. Not that I'm partial or anything ;) These are from when Sam was 2 months old. Below are some from his 8 month photos too!
The cradle was hand made for Sarah when she was a baby. Isn't that an incredible heirloom? I really love things like that. They have their own story that is wrapped into what we are capturing. I can't get enough of the suit either. He looks like a little baby boss. It's awesome.
I feel like I just did Carter's newborn photos- and here he is turning TWO and about to be a big brother! *sigh* it passes too quickly.
I think it is so neat when babies are given special handmade gifts. This little man had an entire hockey outfit crocheted for him! It was so fun to dress him up- I am certain that he is well grown out of it by now, but what a special keepsake- something that you can give to them when they have their own baby and say "I remember when"....
I've grown to appreciate when newborns are alert. They are studying their world for the very first time, and the depth of their wonder is unfathomable. They way they look into the faces of their parents, discovering the bodies that come with the comforting voices they have known as long as they could hear. Sleeping is gorgeous and special, yes, but the awakenings are gorgeous too. They aren't always awkward and crosseyed. If you wait, hold your breath for a moment, and watch, they will give you a glimpse of heaven.
I'm spoiled to have such stunning newborns that I am blessed to photograph.
It is so fun to watch an older sibling who is still little themselves discover their new baby. My kids are all two years apart, and one of my favorite things is capturing the wonder of someone smaller than themselves. It makes for it's own special challenges when it comes to pictures, but that is what makes it all the more fun and special. It was such a joy to capture this family!
I think when parents come to a session, they envision all other families children behaving perfectly through a session (I know I STILL do that with my kids!) Doesn't happen. With ANY family. We are having fun, so kids are prone to extra silliness, maybe a little defiance, and sometimes we have random spurts of stinky attitudes. But we still have fun. And we still get amazing moments of every family. No matter how many times I try to capture my own kiddos, I struggle to remember this with them. With other kids, I take a pretty laid back approach, and let them get their sillies out, because this isn't just about taking pictures, it's about making fun memories too. I'm not above bribery and ridiculous amounts of making a fool of myself to achieve it either!
I've known the S family for over 5 years. And through a small world, they have known my extended family even longer. It's always special doing portraits of friends. I love their family, and really enjoyed playing with them and getting a chance to capture their real personalities. My heart swells while I'm editing these. Bear Creek Lake Park was stunning. Silly faces and laughter, love and joy. Thanks for letting spend some time with you S family. I love you guys!
These are my boys. Noah and Samuel. They love each other so much. The girls are pretty nuts about them too. I have so much to share with all of you, but for now my days are filled with this. Hopefully I will be sharing more of us and more lovely sessions in the coming months!
Can you believe it's already time to start planning for Christmas/Hanukkah?
Get those Holiday portraits taken care of while having fun this fall. I take care of the cards, the pictures, and all you have to do it come and love on your family!
This year we have some special items that are going to be offered only for these sessions- including the option of Lux holiday cards!

And GORGEOUS custom frames from Organic Bloom (and they're ornament size!)
Exciting right? They are way too cute for words- and they make the perfect gift, because they are wonderful for the tree, but just as cute on your wall or hanging in your office.

Another planner turning one.... Sigh. Remember his Newborns? His 4 month? His 9 month? And now he's one. It's killing me that these sweet kids I've gotten to watch grow over the last year have already reached this milestone.
Ilias was a hoot. He asked "what's that?!?" to just about everything we passed during his session. Bikes, City busses, flowers, dogs... everything. He is SO smart!
Do you remember Christopher's birth from last year? Again, can't believe he just turned one. It makes me excited and sad at the same time.
Christopher had a sock monkey birthday party- so of course we had to take sock monkey pictures! Is he not one of the cutest little guys ever???
Again... This year has gone too fast! Do you remember this little sweet pea's newborn photos?? That was over a year ago! WOW! She is the cutest little princess- and we had so much fun doing her cake smash.
Watching families fall in love is the best part about my job. If you have had kids, you know the feeling of having your first baby come home with you. Your family is redefined. You know real, true, intensely protective love for the first time. It's beautiful to witness.
Meet Princess Stevie and her stunning family.
Her mommy owns and teaches at Pure Barre Greenwood Village. If you haven't heard of Pure Barre or even if you have- check it out! I am so excited for taking classes there to get back into shape once our little one arrives.
I'm still here! Brink Street Photography is still alive and kicking (and still booking!)
Oye. Time flies when you're having fun, right? I can't believe how I've neglected my poor blog. We've had a very very busy beginning of the year. We are expecting #4 any day now. I'm 38 weeks today. That's me and out little one up there!
Our family (the whole big family) made the decision after several difficult months and a lot of praying that it was time to move my grandmother (the one who lived with us) to a nursing home. Her needs were becoming greater than we could offer on our own, and we want her safety to be the first priority. She moved last month and is settling in beautifully. We miss having her in the day to day, but we get to go see her a few times a week. Talk about a lot of change, right? We also bought a van to fit the new size of our crew, and will be moving before the end of the summer. Don't worry though! We will still be in the Denver area.
I have a TON of sessions to share with you- and then before we know it I will be gushing over our new arrival. I can't wait to dive into sharing images. Posts will be coming up every few days.
Years go too fast. I really feel like I just did Mister Carter's newborn photos just a few days ago, and here he is One year old! Aren't his little eyes stunning??
I love my baby plan babies. They grow too fast though. And I want to keep them all- especially when they think I'm their buddy! (And when they dress like a way cute monkey)
It's that time of year again! This year we have some special items that are going to be offered only for these sessions- including the option of Lux holiday cards!

You know how people say that babies don't smile when they are brand new? I think they are crazy. While they may not look at their mommy and daddy and smile with intention, I think they certainly smile when they feel safe, comforted, and have dreams of those things. I mean- does that look like GAS to you? I think he's thinking about his amazing mommy who loves him to bits and pieces. And that daddy who adores him and would do anything for him.
Congratulations Chloe and Ryan. He is a beautiful, wonderful blessing!
Wanna know more about the mustache? Visit Whisker Works- They are awesome!
I love my little baby planners!! Can you believe it's been almost 5 months since this little sweet pea was born?? We had grand plans to go outside this time, but alas, the rain decided otherwise. So inside we played! I love that we got to use her little tutu again- it's so cool to see how much she has grown. She's such a character- so happy! I can't wait to see her again!
It's been a whirlwind month here. We had a trip to Texas, tons of beautiful sessions and a wonderful wedding (lots of blog posts coming soon), we had Teagan's injury, and we had a scary health scare with my grandmother that we care for. She is mostly better now, but adjusting to our new normal has slowed me down a bit. We had planned to start homeschool this week, but with everything we are holding off until August 1st. I cannot WAIT to share our adventures in homeschooling. We are so excited and nervous and and and. I'm seeing all the school supplies popping up at Target and I am getting giddy. I get to make our own school supply list. Please tell me I'm not the only one who gets as excited about school supplies as I do about Christmas gifts.... Anyone?
I am so thrilled that I got to spend the evening with these beautiful kiddos last month. They are so fun. Little 18-24 month olds are a blast to capture because there is lots of chasing and making goofy noises and shooting fast. They are anxious to explore the world around them. No posing or pressure, just fun. Sweet little girls are fun for a whole other reason. They pose, they smile, they want to help- I love it. It's a great combo.
