We had a serious sun issue, so we may end up reshooting some of them (just the ones of the three of us, a lot of the solo pics of Marino turned out great). 1pm on a sunny day = terrible photo shoot time!!

What a wonderful job you did and also the place you have to shoot from is utterly amazingly perfect! Looks like a magazine picture. The question I have is do you have a copyright for your business?? I would love to start a business one day and need some info on how to do so. I've looked at legalzoom and their price is reasonable to get a copyright for about $150. I'm proud of you for embarking on this fun journey! The little girl was adorable. I love how she had her hands in her pocket with her legs crossed over! Too cute! Wow, I’m just so thrilled for you!!

The picture is so sharp...and the girl is looking dead on into the camera with eyes that just say, "I love my teddy!" I LOVE that first one…I think it’s one of your best!

Shooting "strangers" does force you to up your game - I highly recommend it! @Lindsay, if I'm ever out in CO I'd be happy to take your pics! @Christie - that's a bit of a big topic, but just wanted to say that I have technical issues too.. a lot of these are not so sharp at 100% crop. They "look" sharp here because they are small and I "sharpened for web" in PS (which all digital images need). It helps a lot :) Blur though is most likely too slow shutterspeed or too shallow DOF. As far as white balance - mine is never right in camera, I have to fiddle a lot in LR to get it correct. I have a digital gray card which helps with that but I usually forget to use it! @Sara B., can't wait to see how they came out! @Alicia – I will definitely do one soon!

I was trying to be original - LOL. I'll post it when I get it back. All the shots are beautiful and the location is really amazing!

I've got a Canon 50D and typically use my 50mm 1.4 or 18-55 2.8 for portrait and head shots but still get grainy images, occasional blur, and off white balance.. I edit in Lightroom and photoshop any advice? Okay, what are your secrets for getting such crystal clear images with your equipment.

We just had professional pictures done of our family and the pictures that you took are WAY better than our pics! Too bad you don't live in Colorado so we could hire you to do our family pics!
