I am one of the fortunate people with a career that allows me to spend time with wonderful people. I get to cuddle darling newborns, play peek-a-boo with shy three year olds, capture the joy of a new family, and the contented smile of a grandmother getting her entire family all in one place at one time. I have had the privilege of capturing a grooms first look at his beautiful bride, and watching the excitement of children all dressed up for their first trip to the Colorado Ballet’s performance of the Nutcracker. I have helped new business owners show their customers what they have to offer, and captured bands performing for their adoring fans. I am grateful for my wonderful clients who allow me to share these moments with them.
I love the reality of everyday life, and the beauty of the in between moments. I work to capture those moments in every photo I take. I have been a wife to an amazing man for 10 years, and I’m a mother to 3 fantastic kids (or minions as I call them).

Is The Nutcracker ballet a Christmas tradition in your family?
I love seeing the Nutcracker. It is such a lovely story!
I love The Nutcracker! It's great that this theatre offers booster seats for the kids so they can enjoy the show too.
The Nutcracker is an awesome holiday tradition. Looks like it was a great performance too!
Aw what a great event for the family! I would love to make the Nutracker a tradition.
My niece always performs in the Nutcracker here locally.So much fun to go as a family!
Aww, what a fun time for you guys. I'm glad you guys were able to get great seats. That nutcracker picture of you two is adorable!!
It isn't a current tradition but I'm hoping to make The Nutcracker Ballet a tradition with my daughter. She loves dancing and the theaters so I think this would be an incredible experience for her!
You both look like you really had a fun filled day. I can't wait until The Nutcracker Ballet comes to my city.
I grew up with the Nutcracker and want to take my daughter. It is a wonderful show and it looks like you had a very special evening! I love the pics, especially the one of the two of you and her sleeping. So precious!!!

I am so happy to see mother and daughter traditions like this – you are a special mom!
How fun! Lucky you to have gone. I think that traditions like this is the most important thing about memories and life!
What a neat tradition this is. I've always wanted to see The Nutcracker!
This is by far my most favorite Christmas tradition. My mom would take me every year, just me and her, and now I take my step-daughter! The Nutcracker is amazing!
I really want to go see it too. It sounds great to me!
And I forgot to say you ladies looked amazing!
I cannot hardly wait for Sunday now! EEK!
This is a gorgeous place, and I won't soon forget it. Attended an event here sponsored by the company. The reception hour at venues San Francisco was held in one of the rooms next to the hall. I loved their buttery mashed sweet potato.
