There is nothing quite as fun as photographing a fun, beautiful family.

This year was probably one of the best vacations to Colorado we have had in a long time.
We started down south in Colorado Springs with a customary visit to Garden of the Gods and Manitou Springs. We are obviously bigger fans of the fresh sweets than the spring water. Topping both was the zipline adventures. Jenn and my dad were a little nervous, but Olivia and Mia loved to let go and enjoy the ride.
Although it embarrassed the girls, we did get our photo at what I like to call the intersection of love.
When we made it up to Loveland our time was spent either enjoying good food and beer, or having fun on the lake. Olivia did a little water skiing, but "couching" was the favorite activity, by far.
To end the trip we watched fireworks over the lake from the comfort of home. Nothing better.
The photos below help fill in the story, or you can see the novel by visiting my Colorado 2014 gallery.
This weekend I connected with a good friend for a family photography session. Group portraits are not my strength so I was fairly nervous about the whole thing. I find it incredibly difficult to set up a group pose that looks natural and interesting.
I still haven't found a great method for posing groups, but this weekend I was fortunate to be photographing a beautiful family and that makes getting a good photo a lot easier.
After the formal seating and posing I was able to just shoot the kids hanging out in the yard. Individual portraits are much easier for me and I am pretty happy with what I got.
