butler family

the butler family won a family portrait session at a recent charity event to benefit the tinyminders school in boulder. with fundraising success, the little school was able to get central air to keep the kids cool. we shot against beautiful chautauqua park in peak color. steve is a 3rd grade teacher and kenna is a chemist.... so of course their boys are little photogenic brainiacs. here's the party of four:
