It didn’t really hit me how quickly this past year had passed until December when I was shooting pictures of little Ethan and realized he was almost a year old. Where did the past year go?
Since I can’t go back and slow it down, I better just embrace it. Ethan has grown to be even cuter than he was, and I have a feeling that with his blue eyes he’s only going to get cuter and cuter as the years come and go.
Do you see what I mean about those eyes?
I wish that I could capture the sound that came with this picture. Ethan doesn’t have a giggle… he has a full out laugh. There is no way that you can hear that laugh and not join in.
Before we did Ethan’s pictures we did some family shots. Here are the cards that I delivered to Troy and Julie.
This is Ethan waving bye! Come back Saturday for a Nebraska senior.

I couldn’t believe how lucky I was. I woke up the morning of this session to sunshine and a relatively warm day, at least for December in Colorado. The session was scheduled to start at 2:30 p.m.. At 1:30 Mitch and I headed over to Fleming to scout out some locations. At that point it was a little overcast, but there was blue sky right behind the few clouds, so I wasn’t too worried. About 1:45 it started to sprinkle on us, but I convinced myself and maybe even Mitch, that in 10 minutes it would be gone. After all, there was tons of blue sky and even if the clouds didn’t clear up, as long as it didn’t snow we’d get beautiful light and everything would be okay. At some point between then and D.J. and I walking out in a pasture, the blue sky had completely disappeared, the wind picked up to lower the temperatures to frigid, and then the snow started lightly falling.
At that point rescheduling wasn’t really an option. D.J. was on a tight yearbook schedule and we were leaving to go back to Indiana in a few days. I should add that this wasn’t our original date. We had planned for a week earlier, but it never got above ten degrees that entire week. D.J., cold as he may have been toughed it out. I only had to retouch flakes off of him in a few images and eventually we moved in for a little break for the wind.
When D.J. pulled out his cowboy hat, I knew immediately that I wanted to get a nice silhouette.
There isn’t much I love more than some good, moody lighting.
He is planning on rodeoing in college, which only makes sense since he has his whole life up until now.
Did I mention that I kind of like moody lighting?
Thanks again D.J.!

Mitch and I made it back to Indiana. I have to admit, the ride back didn’t go near as quickly as the ride out. I think a lot of it had to do with anticipation, oh, and our lovely parting gifts of what we’ve decided must be colds. Mitch seems to be getting better, I don’t think I can say the same for myself yet. Since, I’m not going to be out and about while this sickness has a hold on me, I decided today was as probably as good of a day as any to start playing a little catch up with blog posts.
This post isn’t exactly in order, but I think I’ve gotten about all of the patience I should expect out of this special four year old. Over the past year our niece Stephanie has asked a few times why she isn’t on here. She was especially curious after her friend Preston was on here, but she wasn’t. So, now it is Stephanie’s turn! On Christmas Eve she toughed out some chilly weather, but in true model fashion she made it so you couldn’t even tell. Don’t worry, her assistant (Uncle Mitch) was always close by with her coat.
This is one of those images that made me stop and ask where the last four years have gone?!
The night before, when we gave Stephanie her outfit, she immediately ran for the living room and started twirling in her tutu. She is quite the little ballerina.
I’m thinking that in 12 years or so her dad is going to have quite the job cut out for himself.
This was one of Steph’s poses that she made up all on her own.
Thank you for being a fabulous model Steph! Uncle Mitch and I already miss you.

Isn’t it funny how easy it is to get caught up in the shopping, baking, and just overall craziness of the holidays? When I was editing these pictures there were a few that made me stop and really see the look in Jaylyn’s eyes. There was just absolute wonder. It is amazing how absolutely impressive everything is when you can look at it through a child’s eyes.
On top of that, this was such a fun session for me. I don’t get to see this little girl near as much as I would like to. Living 800+ miles away definitely makes it hard. When my brother, Kristin, and Jaylyn came out to visit us in June we had so much fun with her (well with Brian and Kristin, also). She has so much personality! Her laugh and wrinkled nose would make anyone giggle right along with her.
Can you honestly look at this smile and not smile back?
I can just hear her saying, “Who me?”

I know there are a few of you who have been checking back to see a concrete Christmas Mini Session post. Well, December 06 I will have six sessions available in Sterling. The session times are 7,8, and 9 a.m. and 1:30, 2:30, and 3:30 p.m. Each session will be approximately 30 minutes long and the location will be tailored specifically to you. Times will be booked on a first come, first serve basis. I am throwing around the idea of doing some December 01 in the Sedgwick, Ovid, and Julesburg area. If you are interested in one of those just follow the directions below.
To view specifics on the sessions click on the image above to download a pdf that goes over all of them!
I am calling these Christmas Mini Sessions, but have no plans to put anyone in front of a Christmas tree or anything seasonal. I understand and hope that these are images that you would want hung year round in your home. However, if you want something seasonal, I’m sure we can hunt it down!
These images will be available in the client section of my website to order off of no later than December 11. Any orders placed by 11:59 p.m. December 14 are guaranteed to be back no later than Christmas Eve without rush charges. Orders with cards in them will be bumped to the front of the line due to the nature of the product.
These shorter sessions might not be for everyone. If you are wanting unlimited time think about booking one of my regular sessions while I am in Colorado, November 29 through December 19 (some dates are already booked). For one of those price guides email me at anna@annalynchmcclary.com.
Now, if you’re ready to book a mini head over to www.annalynchmcclary.com and click on the client section. Enter the password ‘christmasmini’. That will bring up the same image as above, add it to your cart, then click on the cart icon in the bottom right corner, and then from the drop down menu select the only option. Simply fill out your info as you go. However, for tonight just select ‘send order and arrange payment later’. I will email everyone tomorrow that books the session. I will go in order of emails received and give you the opportunity to select your time slot. From there I will send you an invoice for the session retainer, which needs to be finalized by Monday to reserve your spot.
If you have any questions feel free to email me (I am without a phone until Saturday). I am stepping away for the evening, but will get back to you right away tomorrow. If your question will affect whether you book or not, go ahead and book, and if you change your mind after I answer your question, no problem.
Wow, didn’t think I’d ever say this before Thanksgiving, but Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

I’ve gotten so used to shooting families, kids, seniors, and weddings lately that I almost forgot what it was like to shoot anything else. During my last trip back my friend Jaci got ahold of me to take some shots of the Northeastern Junior College Art Department. I covered their graphics program, theatre department, and music department for some promo pieces.
I had an absolute blast moving out of what had become my comfort zone back into providing some art for artists!
First up was the theatre department…
Then we moved onto graphics…
And finished up with music…
Of course I had to get a few traditional headshots too!
Later this week I have some images of a beautiful family to share!

For a few years now I been shopping around and waiting for the perfect time to buy a website. Well, I finally did it and have now been working on making it my own. It is not anywhere near done, but I have a starting point. So check out www.annalynchmcclary.com. I’ll have another announcement when it hits a “done” point.
One problem, when I switched over to the new site I lost all of my old emails and addresses. So, if you need anything shoot me an email at anna@annalynchmcclary.com. I hope you all enjoy my site, it is a big step for me!

The first time we tried to get Jordan’s senior pictures done we were cut short thanks to the typical quick moving Colorado storm. This time, I made sure I didn’t comment on how perfect of a day we had so that I didn’t jinx us again. And you know what? We ended up having perfect weather and got some great shots! It is pretty much impossible to get a bad shot of Jordan though.
Thanks for making more time for us to finish up your session Jordan!

Earlier in the month I posted a few images from Emily and Garett’s day after session . Couples don’t get a whole lot better looking than these two. You can imagine, because of that how many great shots we got of them.
These two had dated for six years, starting back in high school. And just about everyone who knew these two, knew it was only a matter of time until we celebrated their wedding. The wait was definitely worth it. They delivered a beautiful ceremony and incredible, detail filled reception.
Emily got ready at her parent’s home with her mother. It made for some great shots. Her mom was absolutely beaming after Emily put her dress on.
Any bride can tell you that no matter how assured you are that everything is done perfectly there are still those excited nerves. The second that Emily and Garett saw each other, you could tell all of those nerves were completely forgotten.
Do you see what I mean about these two? They are a simply stunning couple!
These two were so lucky to have three of their siblings and friends give speeches that made their guests laugh and then a moment later put a lump in their throats. Emily’s sister Kayte stepped up the plate first.
I could post hundreds more images of this awesome wedding!
Thank you Emily and Garett!

I’m coming back in October and am already booked up for the 4th and 5th, but will be taking as many sessions as I can fit in. I’m needing to book my tickets by this weekend and am pretty open on days. So, shoot me an email at anna@annalynchmcclary.com if you’re interested in a session during this trip. Outside of the Christmas mini sessions this just might be the last chance to get a full session before Christmas. Right now I’m leaning towards coming back September 30th to October 7th, but am still completely flexible on that. Knowing CO this is probably the last shot for the year to get images without snow (at least I would think so).
Also, if you want to look over a pricelist before settling on a session, let me know and I’ll shoot one over. I have a few different packages to make everyone happy, or if you’d rather build it all up on your own, you can do that too.
Have a great week!
