The Leggett Family

Lucky for me, I have a really big family ~ so I've had many opportunities over the past month to practice my photography skills
 This weekend, I got to spend some time with my Uncle Steve and Aunt Connie and their sweet family
 Also, lucky for me, everyone was having lots of fun, which made me and my camera very happy 
Steven led the day with the craziest poses… somethin' about those cowboy boots had him in rare form :)
 A sweet moment with Alesia, Emily, and Eric… love her blue eyes!
 This is one of my favorites of Connie and Steve ~ I got one of the kiss too, but love this look in between
 It's kind of funny ~ I had them do this pose several times throughout the shoot ~ and each time, they all assumed the exact same position and order… Great smiles!
Little sweet pea and her daddy
 Love this one of Steven and Mary Elizabeth 
 And Alesia and Eric with their beautiful blues
 Sweet look
 I'm a sucker for gorgeous little kid faces
 By this time, things were starting to get really silly… Steven had a term for this (I don't recall), but all I can think is "jazz hands" ~ Regardless, it makes for a fun picture
 Playing peek-a-boo
  Love love this one of Connie and Steve
 They all three kind of resemble each other, right?!
To finish off the day, Mary steals the show! 
Fun, fun pictures… love the silliness and all the smiles. Thanks for letting me practice on you!

    What a beautiful family! And, another Mary Elizabeth? I think your relatives are the lucky ones - having such a talented photographer around to capture such fun memories :)

In That Space

Image
Wow! It's been a while.  Coming to this seat to reflect and write is always in the back of my mind, but sometimes it's just more complicated than others to actually get here. I have several significant events to share with you. I have pictures!! You must see! We've celebrated Charlie turning 5 (Oh my Lord! His world has changed!) We had our family Christmas time. We've had SNOW! We went skiing. Life keeps happening. I photograph it when I can. And I come here when it's time. It occurred to me today why I haven't been posting much.  This blog is primarily a place where I capture memories, store my photos, share a few laughs, and watch my kids grow. I tend to organize it around the photos I take. While I have a few pictures that I want to (and will!) share with you, for some reason my thoughts haven't been very focused on those photos or those events. I've kind of been in a weird space since the beginning of the year. It's not a bad space…

Peak 8 and Carter Park

Image
We geared up the next morning to enjoy a few more of the fun adventures Breckenridge has to offer.   We started with a gondola ride up to Peak 8 This gave us an opportunity to check out the ski slopes and helped convince me to take Sam and Charlie skiing...  Yikes!! (more to come on that)   Our kids are going to jump in a snow pile anywhere they can and start playing...   You know it's a good day when you're sitting beneath some blue skies 8,000 feet above sea level, having a drink and some lunch outside near a small fire, and watching people enjoy the gorgeous slopes of Colorado. Robbie's Tavern at Peak 8 ~ highly recommend! Onward to Carter Park to indulge in some sledding!   Can you even stand this smile? We took a picture just like this one below in this same place 10 years ago with a baby Sam and Charlie laying on top of me!  Oh the years gone by....   And finally, a few sl

Charlie learns to swim!!!

Image
It seems that there is a magical moment in every child's life where the concept of swimming just clicks. I remember Sam had his moment in the Renaissance Hotel overlooking Manhattan just before his 4th birthday. We had been driving for 11 hours straight, and he was so excited to get some energy out - he just started swimming all over the salt water pool.  Well, Charlie had his moment this past week in Orlando. While he was first a little angry that his mommy and daddy forgot his swim vest, he later become the happiest little boy in Florida!   Racing his big brother Great Job Charlie Hatcher!! So proud of my newest little fishy! Here are a few others of our day at the pool. I think I accidentally incriminated myself here … with a shot of Sam sipping on my chai :/   Is it just me, or does Sam look exactly Lloyd Christmas from Dumb and Dumber in this picture below??   Love. It.   Big Cannonball into the pool! Now a backflip...   Charlie g
