Denver newborn and children's photographer bio picture

i like to shoot people...

i also love sweet wine, craig and i met online before it was cool over 8 years ago, i have 3 kids and thanks to great dna have managed to stay the same weight since h.s. i am an indecisive perfectionist. i very much dislike bees, flies, and spiders. i love our arfy, sophie. my fab-4 are my entire world... i love them each for their amazing attributes, to the moon and back. i like my man to pay attention to me constantly, therefore, when i think he's not i will run at him full speed, jump in his arms saying 'catch me!' and hope to heck he does. i was a cheerleader in h.s. and can dislocate my hip on command due to being dropped in practice. i really miss my sister, and bff's. i really love what i do and love social networking. 

you should be my friend on facebook and twitter!

got smiles? will travel!

i specialize in all types of photography, including boudoir, senior portraits, family photography, newborns and babies, children of all ages, birth documentation, weddings and engagements, coorporate needs, and advertising photography.

currently, i am scheduling sessions into 2010 that require travel.  please email me for more details.... rates are consistent.

weddings are booking into 2010, and steady...

Tut, tut, Natalie… It looks like rain – denver photographer

Saturday and Sunday brought us amazing warm sunshine after a cold blizzard just days earlier. The kids had so much fun trick or treating Saturday (I was at a wedding– Neat huh!) But we had a sweet angel (pics on facebook) Freddy K., and Jason in our house this year. :) I managed to get Natalies hair in sponge curlers, was soooo cute!

But as warm and nice as it was Saturday and even nicer Sunday, the sun rays just were not following Baby Girl around. Instead she got the brunt of a painful fall off the kitchen table when that nasty black cloud nudged her. She fell… smacked her leg coming down on the bench and snapped the fibula and tibula in her right stem.

:( a sad, painful, teary afternoon it was… for all of us.

We’ve been thru breaks, cuts and bashes with the boys, but it seems that that’s what they are supposed to go thru, because they are boys! Still hard to see any one of your children in pain of course, it just really hit hard when it was our girls turn, our BABY girl… it was difficult watching her deal with massive pain that neither of us could take away. It’s hard.

Please leave a comment for Princess N. She likes us to read to her, and what better then “get well’s” and “love yous” :)

Halloween day, yay sponge curlers!

The x-ray :(

Splinted with “white cow” (the new addiction) a bottle and morphine :)

Gettin sleepy

And Monday night.. a better moment.

Angela abeyta - Oh my goodness! Poor Natalie! This just breaks my heart! Note to Natalie: Make sure and milk this for all it's worth! :-) Popsicles make everything all better or at least that's what my son Cameron says.. hope you get better real soon! ((hugs))

Stef - boo, poor little Nattles. It's so hard to see our babes in their casts. I'm glad they are both a bit more used to it now. BFFs do everything together :D

Catie - I love your pretty white cow!!

CASTING CALL/PORTFOLIO BUILDING, Session Peaks, and News!

Man, I have been sooo crazy busy. Every weekend is booked this month, it’s truly a blessing considering the run of bad luck Craig and I had this summer. :o )

 

November 15th is this year’s Christmas Cut-off. This will ensure time for orders to be back to us prior to the festivities.

Little Giraffe, Just for kids newborn to age 10, go check it out!!

Portfolio building is starting!  http://www.littlegiraffephoto.com

 

 

◦○◦○◦○◦○◦○◦○◦○◦○◦ANNOUNMENT◦○◦○◦○◦○◦○◦○◦○◦○◦

De Bella Diva, my boudoir division will be headed towards a new name, look, and style.  Pretty Jane will debut soon!  Expect a more grainy, gritty, sexier, raw look and style.  Portfolio building has ALREADY started, so if you want to jump on the bandwagon, please email me 2 photos of yourself if you are interested.  I’ll need a headshot and a full length body shot.   I have casting calls up in the modeling communities, but am opening this up to my current, past, and future clients as well.

I am a female photographe in denver rebranding, www.debelladiva.com.
Searching for female models, and couples for portfolio building. Will not photograph males alone w/o a female model involved.

Ladies, I shoot alone with no assistants and have TONS of references available.
The sessions will be boudoir inspired, lingerie, but no need to be nude, however come with an open mind.  Your pictures WILL be on my website and you will need to sign a policy agreement and model release.  You’ll receive reproduction rights for your own portfolios. 

You MUST be at least 18 years old.

  • Must be outgoing, able to let me get what I need for this revamp, photo-wise
  • I will trade for images, there is no pay involved
  • Must provide own lingerie- in very good condition, shoes (stillettos, pumps, mary janes… no strappy sandles or chunky square heels)
  • Bring at least 1 pair of black panties.
  • Would prefer your make-up be done by M.A.C professional, not at a salon.
  • Tats and piercings are enticing!

I’ll need 2 pictures from you to be considered as a model.  The pictures cannot be photoshopped… I want to see YOU, not photoshopped you.

Headshot and full length please, also send your specs as I am looking for specifics for these branding purposes.

—————————————————————————————

Picture time!!  Please enjoy these not-so-much Sneak Peaks of my many, many sessions over the past few weeks!

Sigh, I love autumn.  The colors are so golden here in Denver, it’s breathtaking.   These are session from September to MOST of October.  Crazy huh, with more to come!!

ryan - I am looking to participate but my resources are slim and I am new to town so I also have few connections. Are you planning on participating in HelpPortrait and at what capacity? Lets talk more if you are interested. CONK

Tonee - Hi Stell, thanks for the comment, I tried to reply but you didn't leave an email... I'm certain you'll return for a visit tho. :) I appreciate your concern about the photography industry standards however the coupon you were referring too was a 12-hour sale advertised on one website. All other customers are expected to my normal rates. Have a great evening!

A Little Hero – Emma

Everyone should know by now what a huge advocate for charity I am. I have my own, Operation: Love ReUnited, and I also volunteer for The Heart Gallery and The Littlest Heroes.
Yesterday morning I had a Heart Gallery session, but I cannot share those images. The Heart Gallery Photographer Volunteers photograph children who are up for adoption thru Social Services. Statistics show that a child has a better chance at being adopted if the pictures of them reflect their personalities and spirit.

The Littlest Heroes is available for children who are truly leading the spirit of life everyday, as they are faced with health conditions, sometimes terminal conditions. These little folks are AMAZING spirited children, who just want to be kids, and be treated like kids. A week or so ago, I had the pleasure of spending the morning with Emma and her family.
Emma is a beaming, beautiful, outgoing 5 year old red-head, and we all know my deep rooted love for a red head (having one of my own <3.) Angie, Emma’s mother, and I have been coordinating this session for Emma for many months. As they are from Wyoming it was a matter of scheduling around doctors appointments here in Denver at The Children’s Hospital. Finally on a beautiful morning, we meet. The first thing Emma said to me was, “How you doing?”
Right after our first set, her little brother took a spill off a tree stump cutting his nose a little. But regardless of the rough start, as you can see we made some beautiful memories for Emma and her lovely family.

It was a pleasure, Foley Family. I’ll be sending your disk out soon :)

-xoxo Tonee

Denver Family Photographer – Bob & Vanessa

This evening our friend Bob came over with his beautiful aughter, Vanessa. We haven’t seen V since she about 3 and now she’s 8…. and we haven’t seen Bob for about 4-5 years either! The boys had so much fun with Vanessa, I think they welcomed the kiddo playing. Vanessa is a month younger than Jayden, so they played very well together.

Anyway, I hope you love your pictures, Bob! It was so great seeing you!
