Janell is one of my sister-in-law's coworkers, and I am so glad I had the opportunity to meet her and photograph her beautiful family. We met in Golden, the leaves were the perfect shade of yellow, and the weather was gorgeous. We couldn't have asked for anything better.

Since I'm used to photographing families with small children, Will and Peter were a couple of pros in my book. I don't think it was too painful for them (fingers crossed).

Thank you Kiersteins for inviting me into your lives for a little while. It was so fun to meet you, and I hope you will cherish these photos for many years to come.
