What a year it was for me! I had the privilege of photographing new families and making new connections! I met brand new babies and saw other babies that are growing too fast! …Graduating seniors, beloved bliss, and lots and lots of smiling families! It was a great year! Here are some of my favorites from 2011…
Thank you 2011 clients for your love and support!
I am currently booking for 2012! Call or email to chat about your future session with KGP! Kaela Green | 720.333.9011 | kaelagreenphoto@gmail.com
My baby turned 3 this week! I still can’t believe I’ve been blessed with three amazing boys and that my baby is 3! Where does the time go? I just wanted to stop by and share a few pictures from then and now of my little guy!

Here in Brighton, we have one last week of summer-sigh… My Ryan will be off to second (sniff) and my AJ will be off to Kinder (sniff, sniff). For 1/2 a day it will be just Carson and I. In celebration of the last few days of summer I’m holding a contest. Go to Kaela Green Photography on Facebook. Upload your favorite images from summer (5/household limit) that sum up your summer. Get your images up this week, 8/8-8/12, and voting will take place on AJ’s first day of school-Aug. 15th. The winner with the most votes will win a super cool prize;) Let the uploading begin!
And on a side note…if you’re wanting to get in on some lifestyle photography action before the snowfall comes-give me a call. Summer sessions are almost filled!

Happy 4th of July!!! I’m using today to catch up on some of my family’s old pictures and ran across some that I had to share! I had fun looking through pictures of my boys that have gotten so BIG in the last two years!! I loved remembering things that I had forgotten- thankful again for my camera. When you grab your camera today to document your holiday think out of the box. Don’t only point and shoot- take a moment and think about what you’d like to remember. Record the details of the day and tell the story. When I pick up my camera that’s my goal to tell the story so that years from now, ok, let’s be honest, days from now:) when I forget I can look through my albums (yes! get those photos into albums or send them to me and I’ll make a slideshow movie) you will remember the little things and it will make your heart sigh.
I couldn’t decide between which two to share, so I decided on both:)
And because it’s the 4th of July I had to share some from our past two years…
Grandma and Grandpa cooing over their newest grandson:) C is pretty crazy about them too!
Nervous about the fireworks, but safe in Daddy’s arms.
Sparklers without shoes-we are awesome parents:)
My husband shows his enthusiasm for fireworks-clearly his favorite thing!
2010 his nervousness is now full blown fear…
Yay! He’s wearing shoes:)
LOVE this:)
Carson just as enthused about fireworks…
Watching from a safe distance.
Happy 4th of July! Happy shooting! Kaela Green | 720.333.9011 | kaelagreenphoto@gmail.com
…she just had a birthday, and while I won’t tell you which one we celebrated, I can tell you it rhymes with “flirty” and it’s in the title of one of my favorite movies staring Jennifer Garner- LOVE her!
Meet Kim:
She was the brains behind this event:) (I’ll explain later why she’s making this face:) Kim and I wanted to do something fun and extra special for Brooke’s flirty-ith birthday so after much thinking and planning we sent her on an ABC Scavenger Surprise! She would receive a clue and some fun task, food, or present for each letter of the alphabet! How fun is that?! Here are the envelopes:
We had her husband in on it, but Brooke had NO idea! So she was quite surprised when we showed up at her door with directions to wear comfy shoes and a coat.
Still no clue why we were there…
Beautiful lighting (and friend) at our first stop, Asti d’Italia for an antipasto!
We also decided that since she’s “flirty” now she needed to wear clothes that were more appropriate for her age, she was such a good sport! That’s us in the mirror laughing at her. We are such good friends…
We thought we should be a little multicultural and use the Spanish alphabet so we could visit a new favorite store, Charming Charlie’s.
I enjoyed sushi for the first time!
And sampled warm sake…remember Kim’s picture? Ha! That’s what we both thought of it:)
The happy chef! “Kiss the Cook”:
Happy birthday, sweet friend! Hope your “flirty-ith” was fabulous!

Happy Monday everybody! I hope everyone’s Easter was wonderful! We had a GREAT Easter Sunday: church, followed by a fun Monopoly game, then a delicious dinner with fabulous friends, and we ended the evening Skyping with family:) It was a great day!
I have decided to enter a contest and I need your help deciding on which picture to submit. It’s an animal photo contest put on by a sa-weet photography magazine: Rangefinder. There are four categories, Domestic Animals, Wildlife Animals, My Pet & Me, and Animal Humor:) I have a pet session coming up this Saturday (yay!) and I might be submitting another entry for My Pet & Me or Animal Humor, but right now I want to focus on Wildlife. So here are the four images I’m thinking about using…
Just over a year ago I was asked to go with my church to document our first mission trip to El Alto, Bolivia. You can read about it in my original blog here. There is another upcoming trip being planned right now that I was invited back on. This time I was determined to get in “shape” so I wouldn’t need an oxygen mask attached to my face-at an altitude of 13,000 feet that would’ve been a HUGE accomplishment. However, I’ll be missing the trip as it fell at the same time my sister is getting hitched. I’m so excited for my sister, but also sad that I’ll be missing the trip. I was looking forward to seeing our little girl, Belen, and the other friends made during such a impactful week.
I’ve been doing a little hard drive cleaning this week (my husband is thrilled with the piles of DVDs I’ve had laying around:) and found myself lost in the memories that I thought would still be fresh in my mind…Wow how the routine of everyday life can rob us of wisdom gained. I came back from that trip with perspective! I live in a castle, I have more than I need-bedrooms & bathrooms, food & clothing. Indeed I know how richly blessed I am, but how easily I forget…I am so grateful for photography. It gives me a clear reminder of something that I had learned, but all too easily forgot.
Our little Belen…So excited to brush her teeth. I think she brushed them three times…
She warmed up to me:)

As I was going through some “old” files today I started feeling a bit nostalgic. These KGP babies aren’t such babies anymore and many of them are (or going to be) big brothers and big sisters:) Time just flies by doesn’t it?
It was fun seeing how my style has changed in the last couple years-maybe not changed but more focused on lifestyle and less trying to be other photographers that I’ve seen. But we all start somewhere… I started by spending hours surfing the net reading blogs and forums that taught anything I could learn. After learning and learning (and still learning:) I’ve refined my “style” and what type of memories I want to capture for the families that I work with. What I love about lifestyle is that it shows more than what you look like, it tells a story. And our stories are always changing! I know my family’s story is different than it was even just a few months ago! For more information about lifestyle photography, give me a call! Let’s talk about your family’s story:720-333-9011.
Happy Wednesday!

Last week many of you played along with the mystery picture game. (Click here to view the picture again.) Thank you for your guesses-so many of you were close! Which means I’ll have to make it harder next time:)
Here’s the picture:
We had so many guesses: atv, monster truck, rc car, motorcycle, and even the profile of a baby in an ultrasound (see the snow in the background?).
This is one of my boys’ favorite games to play: snowplow! Usually we play with flour, but this day we played with real snow:) My boys LOVE it! You’ve gotta try this if you have little ones that love to play with their Hot Wheels. We use a cookie sheet and a towel-if using real snow. If using flour, you will need a vacuum too:) Especially if while you’re working you’re (almost) 5 year old spilled a bunch and then “cleaned it up”. Happy Tuesday!

I was on my way to one of my favorite activities, sleep, when I was startled awake by an unknown sound. So I got my iphone flashlight and went to investigate…this is what I found:
My hubby told me he’d found him sleeping in this position before, but he moved before I could take a picture. Last night this boy was OUT! I was able to take all sorts of pictures without him even stirring. To my knowledge only C has slept in this position-looks comfortable doesn’t it? This post has given me an idea that I’ll be sharing at the beginning of next week! Keep a watch here and/or Facebook for future details. Happy Sunday!
