You may remember this little family…I did their pregger photos then little Max’s newborn announcement. Â I was so excited to see them again! Â It’s so fun to watch the kiddos grow, now he is almost 1. Â And, I was even more excited when they agreed to do an urban shoot. Â They are the coolest people, I wish they lived closer, we would totally hang out. Â It was such a fun and easy shoot, mama and daddy oh so love their little boy…
Here is the article written about my photographs that appear in the Walt Disney film “Secretariat” on the first page of  the “Arts and Entertainment” section of the Durango Herald!!!  Thanks to Ted Holteen for his interest!

We just saw the film last night and it is really really good. It is an inspirational  heartwarmer.  And, you will totally connect on so many levels.  I could feel Diane Lane’s character, Penny Tweedy, love of her family and children and her struggle to follow her inner voice and just trying to balance it all!  Mom’s will totally feel it.  Go see it!  You will love it!  The whole audience clapped after the film last night, you just don’t see that happening at every movie.
here is a cutie sneak peek of a family shoot up North in the Aspens…we had to delay while waiting on those leaves to quake…but, i will still miss the warm weather… Â check out the little brother and sister pics, does baby brother just adore big sis or what? i love it! Â sooo, here ya go Steph, Craig, Chloe and Jordan! Â thanks for sticking through the rain!
First of all, i would totally kill to have some “mommy moments” on record like this!!!
OK, now for proper introductions…Welcome to Durango Kelly, Doug, Zane and Harper. Â This lovely little family recently relocated from Bend, Oregon and they just seem to fit our town like a glove. Â They met me up North in the aspens for some good ole fashioned shooting…And, this family’s eyes are Uh-Ma-Zing so take a peek!

Finally!!!!! I am able to release the name of the Walt Disney film that will be using several of my mountain landscape images!!!!!
Pixel Magic hired me to take Rocky Mountain landscapes to be used as a backdrop for several stills of the “Tweedy House” for the heartwarming movie “Secretariat”. Â These stills will be used 4 different times during the movie fading in and out to introduce scenes. Â The images you see here were “mocked up” or merged together before the house was superimposed in front of them. Â So Hollywood right? Â The house is actually meant to be in Littleton, Colorado (suburb of Denver) and Pixel Magic and Walt Disney Studios actually sent me to Denver as well to get the Denver peaks but ended up happy with the local mountains I took originally. Â I also took Spring and Twilight shots of the same locations you see here. Â You will see those as well in the film. Â Once the film is released I will be able to share the actual “mock ups.” Â But, here is a sneek peak of the locations used!!!
The movie is being released October 8!!!! Go see it and cheer for your local photographer!
