At first, Farrah and Jeremy weren't going to do an engagement session. I'm so dang glad they decided to do it!!! They were flying into town, as they both live out of state, and we were able to meet for an awesome tour of Downtown in the beautiful Denver cold. We wanted to do some great shots at Linger, seeing as it was where they had their first date, but cold weather and snow left their balcony iced over, so we had to improvise. We started by Little Man Ice Cream, hung out in the Christmas trees for a bit and then let Linger photobomb a few pictures. We walked around across the pedestrian bridge and ended the session at the top of the Ale House with beers and snowboarding goggles. 

These two awesome people get married this month in our beautiful mountains at a private cabin. To say I'm excited for their wedding is an understatement. I already can't wait to share the pictures, but until then, here's a few from their chilly and fun engagement session. 

I can't believe it's been around nine months since I met Jen and Michael for this Downtown Denver Engagement session. It's amazing how at that time, August 12th seemed so far away and now, here we are, only a few short weeks away from their wedding day. 

Here is a LONG overdo look at Michael and Jen's engagement session!! I can't wait for their Lake Dillon wedding!! 

A long time ago (like 13-15 years ago) I started playing club basketball with a pretty cool girl from Windsor, Colorado. We became great friends, have stayed in touch and still see each other every now and then. One day, I was hanging out with Brittany (the awesome friend) and I met this amazing and beautiful girl, Sam. Sam was introduced to me as Garrett's girlfriend... Garrett being Brittany's little (but actually really tall) brother. I immediately liked Sam. She is one of those people that always seems happy and that happiness is infectious. Such an easy person to be around and be friends with, the perfect person for Garrett seeing as Garrett is also such a kind and happy person. 

What's your favorite thing about your fiance?:

"How she treats people, she is so kind to others even when she doesn't know them and she makes me want to become a better person."

"He makes me laugh and that he tells me he loves me everyday no matter what."

Just like in any love story, these two seem perfectly made for each other. So, it seemed fitting that th0ier proposal story was nothing short of romantic and sweet:

"Christmas morning he took me to the Rock in Castle rock and had decorated a tree to look like a Christmas tree and had an "S" ornament on it. He told me that I was the love of his life and that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me. He got down on one knee and asked me to marry him!! Two of our friends were hiding and taking pictures of us which was so special to have that moment captured!  It was soooo cold and I was so stubborn about going on the walk to get to the special spot, he even had to carry me part way. I was still in my pajamas and had put on one of his Carhartt beanies. So even though it was not my best looking day I am sure it was one of the best days of my life! 
We went back to my parents house and announced to my family the awesome news and the day after went to tell his family!"

Sam and Garrett have since been married and I have been working on their images like CRAZY (I have soooo many favorites.) So I figured I should probably share their beautiful Lookout Mountain Engagement Session before I finish and share images from their gorgeous Castle Rock Wedding! 

Cody and I both played basketball at Mines a loooong time ago. We would occasionally see each other in the training room... Cody for his ankle (I think??) and me for my knees. He was known on our team as probably the nicest guy on the guys team.

Fast forward a few years, I was at dinner at my friends house and guess who shows up... Cody!! He was there because his wife is friends with a friend of my friend who was in town visiting..... Did you get that? Moral of that story, I met his wife, Jenna, and was so glad I did!! Jenna is one of those people that you meet and hang out with and think.. "there's no way she's this nice all the time." But, she totally is!! So, the nicest guy on the guys bball team married the nicest girl and THEN (as you can probably tell by the title of this post) the two of them decided to add a tiny little nugget to their family. 

Ironically, we were at the same friends house when I found out that Jenna and Cody were going to be having a little boy. Not long after that, I heard from Jenna about being there to capture the birth of their little boy and, obviously, my answer was something along the lines of "Hell yea".. or "I wouldn't miss it"

I showed up to the hospital to a laboring mama with a huge smile on her face. Seriously, I walked in to the room and Jenna was chatting happily with her sister and Cody in between contractions listening to her Jock Jams. As contractions intensified and Jenna progressed, her smile and positivity was unwavering along with her support. 

After some tough laboring, Jenna decided to hop into the tub. At this point, I was still breastfeeding my little guy, so I decided to take this time to head out and pump. I did a real quick pump session and got back and Jenna was ready to push. I couldn't believe it! A quick stew in the tub and that little guy was ready to make some moves!!! 

Jenna was a superstar!! So focused and so powerful bringing her little guy into this world. With each push I could almost feel her and Cody's excitement to meet their little boy growing and growing and then.... he was here!! Tiny Collins Clickner! In and instant, his parents were in love and in an instant, their family of two because a beautiful and loving family of three.
