Confidence {Parker, CO Maternity Photographer}

I spent Sunday evening with an amazing couple. She is so beautiful and her husband was so in love with her, it was an awesome energy to be around. I don’t know what it is about having a gorgeous baby belly, but the women I am around just seem to ooze confidence and beauty.

I can’t wait to photographer their newborn (and I have my fingers crossed to be their birth photographer too)!

Family Pictures {Upstate NY}

Two brothers equals two family sessions. This pictures were taken at a park in Palmyra, NY on the edge of the Erie Canal. They did a great job and this was one of the fastest family photo shoots I have ever done. Unfortunately, we didn’t get any good submissions for Awkward Family Photo, but there is always next year!

Could he be any more huggable?After the official photos we headed over to a park and the kids looked at me oddly as I laid on the ground to try and get this shot. Not your typical portrait but to me is screams CHILDHOOD. 10 seconds after this shot all the kids were covered in mud and water. Made for a great day. Thanks Dan and Cheryl!

Three Months Old {Denver Baby Photographer}

Three months old is a tricky age to photograph; they aren’t the sleep newborn anymore but they aren’t as stable as a six month old. This little man did an awesome job yesterday and mom and dad were very helpful in making sure everything we did was safe. The whole family is so sweet and laid back!

The rocking chair belonged to his grandmother when she was a little girl. This is what I love about using props the family already owns. They add that special touch to a photograph that only they will have. Love it!

Nine Months Old {Fort Collins Lifestyle Photographer}

Nine months old is a great age, they are expressive, curious, but not so mobile. I brought my son on this shoot to assist and he did a great job. He took some photos and helped get this little lady to laugh by yelling out things like “pickle juice” and “road runner.”

This first set was taken at Horsetooth Reservoir in Fort Collins. The rain was moving in so the background had this ethereal feel right before we got poured on.

Once the rain started we headed back to their house and took some casual portraits.

 

Becoming Mothers, Boulder CO

I spent the morning hanging some birth photos at Becoming Mothers in Boulder today. I love this place. Unlike big box baby gear stores, Becoming Mothers has a very helpful and knowledgeable staff and you know the products they carry are going to be the highest quality.

I shared two birth stories and hope women will see how beautiful birth photography can be. This first set is a a group of three metal prints. I love the modern look of metal prints.

This is a 10×30 luster print that has been mounted. Here is a glimpse of just some of the awesome products they carry. Love Motherlove, also a Northern Colorado company!

Need a nursing bra? I had no idea how comfortable and supportive a nursing bra could be until I had my son and tried on a Bravado nursing bra here.

Nora {Boulder Newborn Photographer}

One of my favorite parts about being self employed are the unexpected phone calls I get that completely change my day. Friday I was at the library with my kids and received a request for a newborn photoshoot. Could I fit them in? Sure! When? How about today! Having my own kids has taught me that you have to remain flexible and if you do some pretty great stuff can come your way.

Meet Nora, she is pretty amazing.

I don’t bring a lot of newborn props because I want the images to be meaningful to the family. Mom had the idea to add the nut butters because Justin’s Nut Butter is their company. I love it (and the nut butter- seriously, if you haven’t tried them you are missing out)! The blanket Nora is sleeping on was her mom’s and so was that apple. I had one of those apples and loved it.
