engagement portrait in colorado

I couldn’t wait to get home and proof this one. Brian and Naomi just got engaged.

Brian is our friend Laura’s brother, and we spent the weekend at their family’s cabin in the mountains. It was Brian’s idea to drive to this run-down cabin, and I’m so glad he thought of it. I couldn’t have been more excited when I got out of the car and saw this scene in front of me!

I had a great time taking portraits, but I think the weekend will live on in my memory mostly for the hilarious game of Cranium that we played on Saturday night. The highlight of the event was when three of us were desperately trying to act out “waterbed” only to have everyone keep guessing things like “seizure.”

It was also memorable, because it’s my first large group family portrait without little kids! I love the little ones, but there’s something so thrilling about saying “okay–everyone look at the camera” and having everyone actually do it!:)

And here’s one from my shoot with Shannon, the youngest family member:

Rachel - such amazing images Traci! That first one is my new all time fave by you. Great family grouping. And I’m trying to place who she looks like in the last one…an actress, I think the one who played Piper on charmed perhaps? She’s gorgeous, as is the photo.

Julia - These are all absolutely Stunning, the first one takes my breath away!

Laura - Wow Traci–beautiful! Thanks for making us all look so great… Now I can’t wait to see the rest!!

Shannon - Wow these are awesome!! Thank you SO much!

Alison - Traci,

These are great! That was a lot of fun, and much less painful than anticipated – I can’t wait to see the ones with the dogs.

Oh, and as a non-participant in the Cranium, the three of you doing the exact same thing to represent “water bed” was absolutely hilarious. I’m surprised no one shouted out “death by electrocution”!
