The P. Family's Best Day Ever

featured

I’ve been gone a lot lately, taking little weekend trips that have been nothing but life-giving. I went home, to see my family and my babies (not my actual babies). I went to New Orleans, to celebrate life with the big guy. I took mini-trips to the mountains. I had a weekend with my girls.

It just felt right to end it all with Portland. Somehow, it was new and nostalgic all at the same time. It’s also fall, and fall is best spent with National Champions…

Jamie is one of the rare few who have found me randomly on the internet. And let me say, I’m just so glad she did.

I instantly clicked with her and Nick, and of course their adorable son Carter. They were my people in the sense that they are a serious sports family. I mean, Carter is named after the one and only Anthony Carter. Growing up in Philadelphia, I appreciate sports fans…it’s a mutual respect thing.

So. The Larsens. Our shoot was not without it’s excitement. There was literally blood, sweat and tears. But we made it…and I’m pretty sure we made it with style.

I’ve already written about Josh on here (he was the Realtor that I told you all to hire…you still should). But now you get to see the whole beautiful family! All seven of ’em…

Last year, my church commissioned me to help out with a fun project. They were in the early stages of launching a new nonprofit, one that would consolidate the church’s various ministries under one umbrella. I got to interview some very cool people and help create some small marketing pieces to help us define what this new nonprofit is all about. (My friend Rachel is the brains and talent behind the design.)

I’ve been hearing great things about Allison for the past three years. She works with my husband and I finally got to (randomly) meet her in the Kansas City Airport last summer…she lost her voice the night before screaming at a Bon Jovi concert. I just knew we would get along.

I am so excited to finally show you these photos and introduce you to the best new business in Denver…

Allison and Frances are great friends of mine – they worked together a few years ago, and stayed in touch when Allison left for another job.

They missed working together and recently made the bold decisions to leave their jobs and pursue their dream of opening their own marketing firmThese two have been working unbelievably hard for months and their big reveal is finally here!
