The boys are in second, fourth and sixth grades. 

They were great about trying out lots of crazy poses and coming up with cool ideas of their own. Photo sessions always turn out a lot better when everybody is willing to have a little fun! 

Photographer moves to Colorado, becomes happy mountain person

I've been so busy in recent weeks with moving, shoots and a new job that I haven't had a chance to post about it all. I'm getting some shoots edited and ready to go though, so I should have some pretty new stuff for you to look at over the next couple of weeks.
