What could be more perfect then the beautiful backdrop of Boulder, Colorado (mountains & old barn included), vintage furniture and a gorgeous couple happily in LOVE!?  This is a photographers dream!

At first glance these might seem like engagement photos… but you would be wrong!  They were just for fun photos taken for Christmas.  However, we are happy to report that just 2 weeks later, he popped the question!!  Congratulation you two!

All I can say is brrrrrr!  This was such a cold day, but despite the weather we had SO much fun!  This family was such good sports and such a blast to work with.  You’d never guess that it was 20 degrees outside and crazy windy.  Love the urban feel from shooting downtown Denver.

This shoot was right after our first snow and (despite no snow on the ground) was a very cold day.  With that said this family was so patient and understanding, even with a tiny little newborn.  The little girl had a blast running around playing in the leaves while the grandparents chased her through Cherry Creek Park Denver.  Such a sweet family…

I had the pleasure of shooting one the the most adorable babies a couple of months ago when I was back home in Texas and the results were AMAZING!!  He was such a good sport and so happy the entire time.  And I just LOVE his eyes… so mesmerizing!

A couple months ago, I had the opportunity to do super fun shoot up in Estes Park with two adorable kiddos, and finally wanted blog a few of my favorites.  Surprisingly, Jake and Lexi are not brother and sister, but they certainly could be!  They were so cute together, and such great sports about me following them around all morning with the camera.  Estes Park Colorado is such a beautiful place for pictures, I just wish it wasn’t so far from Denver or I would shoot there more often!

Bill and Madeleine were an absolute joy to work with!  Bill recently contacted me to do some pictures of him and his daughter as a surprise for his wife’s birthday.  We started the photo shoot outside, and I drug some vintage furniture along with a few other items, and it was a perfect setting for some great shots!  In between being silly, some uncontrollable laughing, and some impressive acrobatics (Madeleine is a cheerleader at her school) I got some great candid shots, which are always my favorite!  We did the second half of the shoot in my studio, where I also got some great pics of just Madeleine by herself.  She is such a sweetheart (and so polite!)…what every parent would hope a teenage girl would be like.  The pictures turned out gorgeous, and his wife LOVED her surprise!  Bill gave me a call afterwards and said that they are already looking forward to their next shoot (sometime before Christmas) with the entire family.  :)
Here are a few of my favorites:

Off to be printed tomorrow…

So the recent trip to Austin was a whirlwind!  Two days, and four photo shoots later, I’m back at home trying to go through hundreds of amazing pictures.  My main goal for this trip was portfolio building work for Pink Label Photography (my new baby), switching my focus a little from Boudoir Photography (www.LeslieBoyer.com), to more of the family/children side as well.  I had such a blast working with all my little models!!!  All the kids, little and big alike were such angels, and so cooperative in front of the camera!  From urban alleyways downtown to country areas with wildflowers growing everywhere, Austin provided a great backdrop for great creative portraits in an outdoor setting.  It reminded me of how much I miss Texas, but also of how much I don’t miss the heat!!!  I was thrilled to get back to a cool 75 degrees after coming from the Texas heat.  Thanks so much to the parents and kids who made this weekend possible!  I captured so many incredible images, here are a few of my favorites…
