Colorado Children and Wedding Photographer

Isaiah has a spark in his eyes, similar to one his Dad, Ramin holds, but all bundled up in a 2 year old, whom is as wild and crazy, as his infamous blond curls.  I met up with the Razavi’s on Saturday & we headed up to Left Hand Canyon in Boulder, however when we arrived we found the temperatures to be a bit brisk, so all be it a short session, we still had a lot of fun!

Meet Isaiah! I LOVE his curly hair, but I could be a little biased, as I have some crazy curls myself!

Doesn't he have beautiful parents?!

Good thing Ramin is a runner, because I think he does a lot of it with Isaiah!

Love these guys!

Ramin & Natalie it was so fun photographing your family!  We’re looking forward to meeting up with you guys some time soon for dinner!

The Carter Family could easily grace the pages of the Anthropologies Christmas Catalog.  Each of them have a signature look that is no doubt timeless and beautiful.  There is no one word to sum up this family, as they are as much gracious, loving and caring as they are beautiful.  Meet them only one time & you’ll feel as though you’ve been part of their family for years!  Now onto our lifestyle session from Saturday!

meet Ava & Zeph...also known as puppy they have the most beautiful colored eyes!

Ava loves her little puppy Zeph.

Jill loves her puppy too!

Ava has a wonderful imagination & I think she was looking at her invisible baby bird here.

here she is with her baby bird outside..

she didn't want to put her down, but later Adam offered to keep her safe in his pocket

Zeph looking into the magical camera...

hugs..

play time..

i love this series...

love this image...so romantic with the sun flair!

Jill & Adam like to have fun too! Jill's laughter is contagious.

This image is incredible..Jill is such a classic beauty & it's no doublt that Ava is following in her mom's footsteps.

this field is right in their back yard at Anna's Farms...I love the one lone tree.

My job doesn't get much better than this!

Thank you Carter family for allowing me to document your beautiful family!

It is always so nice when you click with your subjects and the Bonettie Family was no exception.  A few weeks ago I met up with them to photograph their family, needless to say they are all so beautiful and were great to work with.  They are also very thoughtful, as I received 2 bottles of their organic wine this past Saturday and I can’t wait to open them up at a Holiday party I’m hosting for my family this Friday night!  Here were some of my favorites from the day!

I remember when I was this young & held my father’s hand!  I can’t wait when Chloe is old enough to hold Wade’s hand

Mario has the most beautiful eyes...I didn't notice till I took this image.

We started with this image...

and then a tickle fight broke out..

No doubt Jacko will love this image when he's a teenager!

I love yummy light!

Evan is what I like to call a little miracle baby, born two months early at just under 4 pounds!  Now he’s gone from crawling to walking in no time and all, so when his first Birthday came around & my neighbor Becky asked me to take a few shots of Evan I was happy to oblige!  We also joke around that he is Chloe’s boyfriend too   On their first date, supervised of course, he gave her a foot rub & was also holding her hand!  Now onto some images~

Sooo Big!

Look at all those teeth!

Playing in the leaves!

A few weeks ago I met up with Keith & Ria to photograph their family lifestyle session in Boulder.  I absolutely love fall, as it’s my favorite season and it’s also one of my favorite times to photograph too.   After rounding up these two cowboys we hiked up the mountain to capture some beautiful family images!  Check em out!

Check out those red cowboy boots!

such a boyish grin!

I love little redheads…although I am a little biased being one myself.

brothers...

Thanks Ria & Kieth!  I had a great time documenting your beautiful family!

I know it has been a long time since I’ve posted images of my daughter, so yesterday we went out to play in the leaves & take a few pictures.  She can finally sit up on her own with out falling, so it was the perfect time to capture a couple.  She’s stolen my heart and she won’t give it back.  Her first tooth just broke through, so over the weekend she was a little grumpy.  None the less, I took her swimming in her first big pool!  She wasn’t very amused, but preferred watching all the other children play.   So here is just a sample….

She is a walking or sitting in this case, poster child for all things home made.  My good friend Ally made her hair band, thanks Ally!  My mom made her designer bird onsie

It’s my favorite time of year again, autumn, so comes our annual “Fall Mini Portrait Special!”  See more information below.  We currently have the following dates available 10.8, 10.12, 10.14 and 10.17.  Last year we shot at the ever popular Chataqua Park in Boulder, but if needed I’m planning to offer it in two new locations, Kettner Lake in Westminster, and Sloan Lake in Denver. Space is limited, so contact me today to set up your session!  This year we’ve spiced it up with a little added bonus, a retouched digital file, perfect for Holiday Cards!  For each person or family you refer, get one FREE 5×7 from your session or refer 5 and get your session for FREE!!  Plus enjoy BOGO free prints for one month only!  Prints starting at $14.95.

To say that I LOVE my job is such an understatement, especially when I have clients like Anh & Kevin who seriously know how to rock it when it comes to style & having fun!  They are getting married next month, but wanted to do a pre-wedding portrait session, so that they could have a few fun & chic prints to display at their ceremony.  We had an incredible time exploring the grounds of what used to be Westminster College.  It is such a quaint and charming location and served as the perfect back drop for our bridal portrait session!  Anh,  I can’t believe I get to photograph you not once, but twice in your wedding gown!  We’re going to have so much fun next month!  Now onto one of my favorite couple sessions of the YEAR!

dancing in front of the castle...sooo romantic!

A special thanks to Lesli who was such a great assistant on the shoot!  Kevin & Anh I will see you next month!  YEAH!

Last Sunday I had the pleasure of photographing Tiffany’s Trash the Dress session at a Victorian Horse Farm near Longmont.  I wish I could start every Sunday morning photographing a fabulous bride having fun in her gown.  She wanted to be photographed at a ranch because her husband, Mark is really into riding horses and is a true cowboy himself!  They’ll be celebrating their one year anniversary next month!  Congrats to both of you and have a great time in Vail!

Tiffany is so stunning!

If you’re interested in doing a Trash the Dress session please drop me a line at shannon@centeravenueimaging.com or call me at 720.837.4183, as I am currently running a special till the end of the month that you won’t want to mss!

Lance and Brittney met while serving on a mission in Texas and were married in Utah on August 15th, but luckily for me and all of Brittney’s friends and family, they had an additional reception at the Gatehouse in Lafayette, which was incredible!  Brittney’s nickname is Birdy, so the entire theme for the decor was birds!  I loved the attention to detail and all the personal touches that made their reception one to remember!  Click here for the slideshow!  Now onto some images from the event…

Isn't she stunning?

A heartfelt hug after Lance’s sister sang a song for the newlyweds.

Congrats Lance & Brittney!  Thanks for choosing me to capture your celebration!
