Love abounds everywhere.   It is all around us  - we just have to be open to it and see it in the smallest and biggest moments.

Thank you to every single one of you who has made this year so special. You and your families mean the world to us.  Here is a look back at 2008 and a cheers to those of you with such amazing days to come in 2009!

Here's wishing you great time with family and friends this week. Below is a little slideshow we put together to bring our holiday portrait season to a close...we are so grateful to all of the families we have had the chance to work with over the past few months!  Wedding slideshow to come soon!  Happy Holidays!

As photographers we are privileged to see the lives of our clients grow as their kids grow - and for our clients, Lala Vasquez and Denver Nuggets NBA player Carmelo Anthony it is no different.  We have been photographing this great family since the birth of their son Kiyan almost two years ago - but it wasn't until this past week that the images were released by the family exclusively to Essence magazine.  

Here are a few of the photos from a recent shoot at their home.  To see a sneak peek into their life, visit Essence online here to see the complete feature.

Hope the week is treating you well and you are gearing up for a great holiday break!

Best!

It has been crazy cold here in Denver the past few days but that didn't stop Kelly & David from tromping in the snow for their engagement session. I'm not sure if it's Kelly's Breckenridge roots or their contagious energy as a couple, but it was certainly a wintry and wonderful way to start the morning. Thanks you two! I had a blast and can't wait for your August wedding.

Nothing like braving the elements in style!

A serendipitous finding on a park bench...

Winter morning light - how cozy are they?!

Warm wishes to each of you today!

To all of our blog readers - we want to help someone you love - and we need your help!  

You know someone. You know someone who's experienced a tragedy, is struggling to stay afloat, is raising kids while holding down more than one job, or is volunteering selflessly despite extenuating personal circumstances. You know someone who can't afford custom photography, but who would cherish it this holiday season. You know someone who deserves a year-round reminder of their family's spirit, love, and beauty.

We want to know who they are and give them the gift of photography -- $1150 worth, to    be exact.  

How to nominate:

* You cannot nominate yourself, and the person nominated must    sincerely be incapable of purchasing our services.

* The nominee must reside in Colorado. Tell us who you know, what they're experiencing, and why they deserve this photo session and product. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well.

* Email us their story to jennawalkerphotography@hotmail.com no later than December 23rd.

With love,
