Kimberlin Family Portraits

It was time again for the Kimberlin Family Portaits!!! I love photographing this family, the twins are so adorable and Melody and Brian are just lovely people. This year we decided to try a new location - Hudson Gardens in Littleton, Colorado. They were setting up for a wedding in one of the gardens and it seemed like a beautiful place for it. We had a wonderful time wandering around with the girls, Audrey and Brenna.





The girls had fun smelling the different flowers.





And then we wandered through many of the other gardens.















After the above portrait we had a bit of a mishap. Brenna (in the red and white dress) is very adventurous, and was exploring the edge of the pond. In one split second, she went from leaning over the water to falling head first into it! Brian caught her quickly, with very fast reflexes, but not in time to avoid her being dipped from the neck up in the pond water. Even though I was on the other side of the pond shooting, I almost fell in myself trying to instinctively reach out to her when I saw what was happening. Luckily, I caught my own footing, and Melody had her other set of clothes to change her back into, so we were able to capture a few more portraits. But poor Brenna!!!





Thank you again, Melody and Brian, for having me photograph your family! These girls are growing so fast - I can't believe how much bigger they are than last fall!

The Kimberlin Family

I am still playing catch up with my blog, but I will get there, I promise! Back on November 1st I had the opportunity to spend a couple hours photographing the Kimberlin family at Chautauqua Park in Boulder. Melody and Brian have twins, Audrey and Brenna, who are just about a year old now. Melody is one of the kindest, warmest people I know, and it was wonderful to spend time with her and her family on a strangely warm November day - I think it hit 70 degrees that day! Although very odd for November it gave us perfect weather to have the twins outside in the beautiful fall colors. I think they got the perfect fall color weekend this year! First, here are a few of the whole family and the girls together:








Audrey and Brenna are both such beautiful little girls. Brenna is very active, always wanting to move around so photographing her can be a challenge, but I loved chasing the girls around. I just love her big blue eyes!







Audrey has cheeks that I just always want to reach out and pinch!





I love the following two pictures together - both girls were adorable in their dresses and I love the contrast with the grass.




And last, I love both of these series of pictures. The girls were getting a bit tired so we took a break and Brian started tossing Audrey up in the air. She just loved it so I grabbed a few shots of the two of them, and thought it would be great to have matching photos of Melody and Audrey.




Thank you again Melody and Brian for spending time with me! You are a beautiful family, and it was a pleasure to photograph all of you.
