Oh my! The cuteness you are about to see is just indescribable! Little Miss Kendall was just a riot. She was all smiles and had such fun at our session. Looking through her pictures, her facial expressions are just about the cutest thing I have ever seen! Lucky for us and our crazy Colorado weather, we beat out the rain on this day. We had amazing light and mom and dad even got in on some pictures (I love when they do)! Happy half birthday miss Kendall!
The one thing I love just as much as Photography, is Baby wearing. I teamed up with a local baby wearing moms group, Denver Tula Mamas, to offer an exclusive mini session just for baby wearing moms! It has to be one of my favorite sessions that I've ever done.
As I am looking though and editing pictures, I am taken back by all the love each of these gorgeous mamas show for their little one in every picture. There is something about the love between mother and child that just naturally shows through. No posing, just pure baby wearing love. Every mama kissed their baby and hugged them on their own. I was able to capture these raw, emotion filled moments between mother and child, and the love they share with one another. I feel so honored to be able to capture these important moments in each of these mama's lives, because baby wearing does not last as long as we'd like. They grow so quickly that it is important to enjoy those cuddles and when they ask for "ups". Snuggle them, kiss them and hold them close.
It doesn't matter what carrier you have, just wear your little one! It is such an amazing opportunity for both mom and baby. I mean who doesn't want to be close to their baby and kiss them every chance you have.
I really have no idea how I made it without baby wearing my first child, because I would not know what to do if I didn't have a way to carry my second. I probably would be always working one handed and pretty slowly at that.
Thank you mamas for allowing me to capture these special moments for you. Carrier those babies as long as they let you. We are so lucky to live in such a wonderful state with an awesome group of mamas who support and encourage baby wearing!
When I hit a milestone on my facebook page, I decided to raffle off a mini session to my clients. This beautiful family happened to be the lucky winners and boy did they deserve it!
This beautiful family was just hands down amazing. Mom and I clicked right away as we both figured out we grew up in the suburbs of Chicago. We ended up doing their session on a Thursday night since mom works weekends. I made sure it was possible for them to have family photos not just pictures of their cute kiddos. So one night after my husband got home from work, I ventured out to this lovely session to capture all of this family's love, and beautiful moments at a trail head down the road!
It was very cloudy night with random bursts of sunlight. For a 7pm bedtime (we started at 6:30pm) the twins were amazingly happy and playful. I was able to capture such beautiful, real moments of them as a family, which I think make for the best family portraits. Little miss Mary was interested in everything and George was just as happy as can be! Mom and Dad were just the best! I've never seen a family have such an pure, loving connection. They were just themselves and it shows. This is one of my favorite family sessions to date. Looking at these pictures, you can just feel the love they have for each other radiating in ever frame.
What is better then a cute baby, a ring sling, and a mama loving her littles all together (with pictures to capture it all)? Nothing, nothing is better! As the baby wearing enthusiast that I am, I can not express how much I am in LOVE with this whole session. (Yes I did go out and purchase a new ring sling after this session because I only own buckle carriers) . These heart warming pictures show the beautiful connection between mother and daughter through baby wearing and just MELT my heart!
A close connection during the early years with our children is so important! Not only is it nice to snuggle baby, but after being carried in the womb for 9 (10 months realistically) baby is brought into the world and really loves and wants to be close to mom as much as possible ( I mean us moms are awesome why wouldn't they want to be carried and loved on by us all the time). It's comforting, for both mom and baby. This may be my favorite session because the two things I love most (besides my own family) is photography and baby wearing.
Kiri is such a sweet, loving mom to her two beautiful daughters! Seeing her close connection with them really warm my heart. Those two girls ADORE their mommy. Keep being awesome Kiri! It was such a pleasure to meet you and your girls and capture these beautiful moments for you to have forever!
As I sit here tonight writing out this blog post, my youngest daughter (8 months) is strapped to my chest in her baby carrier. Leaving her sleeping happily and comfortable and leaving me with two hands to do my work! One of favorite reasons of baby wearing. I can't imagine life with out any sort of baby carrier!
So love on your littles and wear all the babies (because sadly babies don't want to be carried forever)!
I met Ellen's sweet family 5 months ago when I was photographing her then 3 month old sister.
This time it was Ellen's turn! She turned 5 this past weekend. Happy Birthday Ellen. She is a very sweet and spunky little girl. Full of giggles, smiles and so much love for her Mom, Dad and baby sister.
My favorite shot is this black and white image of her. It really just captures her in the moment and I couldn't be more excited that I was able to get such beautiful pictures of her.
Hope you had a wonderful 5th birthday!
It's pretty exciting when you find out that you are expecting a new baby. It's even more exciting when you wait to find out the gender of your baby with your entire family!
Jen and Todd did exactly that.
The room was filled with pink and blue tables and cute little elephants everywhere. From the diaper cakes on each table to the adorable little cup cakes and shower games.
This is Jen and Todd's 4th child. With the oldest being a boy, followed by two little girls. Their son was ready to move out if this baby was another girl! Lucky for him, he got what he wanted, a BROTHER! Nothing was better then being able to capture his excitement when they opened the box which was filled with colored balloons that represented the gender!
What an amazing shower and such a sweet family! Congratulations Jen and Todd!
I met this sweet family last summer when I had the honor of photographing their family reunion, and oh what a fun time that was! What an amazing, sweet family they have.
Since then I have had the pleasure of capturing beautiful moments for them. In November I captured their gender reveal pictures that they used to share the news with their family. It was such a blast. Then a few months later this sweet little girl was born.
One of my favorite things about photographing newborns is that it is the first picture of the new family together all settled in the comfort of their home. It is fresh and it is real. Everyone is filled with so many emotions after a new baby joins the family. It is so great to capture those sweet, excited smiles of joy, and happiness. Even though those first 2 weeks are filled with sleepless nights, the joy of looking into your new baby's eyes is worth ever second of it. They grow up so much in that 1st year. Capture every second of it because it goes by faster then you can even imagine.

What's better then a new baby? I'm not sure, because as a mother myself I'd say this is near the top of the list (at least for me)! From those itty bitty toes, to their tiny little noses. They come into this world so little and grow up way too fast. Enjoy every moment, especially when they wake up at 2am (and 3am and 4am) just to eat, because each day they will become just a teeny bit bigger and come one day will no longer need those night feedings you have become so used to. They will be crawling, running, and talking before you know it! So adore those chubby baby thighs and squeeze those cute baby cheeks every chance you get!
I had the pleasure of taking this beautiful little lady's newborn pictures. We even captured some moments of the whole family, and a few of just baby with mom and dad too. Congratulations on your newest addition! She is just precious.
By the way, this little ones mom makes awesome custom dresses, shirts, bow ties and the most beautiful headbands/hair clips! check out her page.

It's official! My littlest is growing up faster then I could ever imagine. She's a little sweet, a little sassy, and ready to be on the move! The time goes way too fast. I feel like it was just yesterday that we were in the hospital, getting ready to become a family of four. I just can't get over that my baby is getting so big. Sometimes I wish they could just stay this age forever. I then however change my mind by the end of the day! It is crazy how fast it goes the second time around. You become a lot busier with two (dividing yourself and attention) rather then just having to focus on one all the time. Then before you know it, BOOM they are 6 months old and becoming a little person who will start to do things on their own and learn about the big wide world. I should also mention I have TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE baby fever! So please everyone have those cute, squishy, chubby babies and let me take pictures of them, because I'm sure my husband is not wanting baby number 3 just yet! Happy Almost 6 months sweet baby May.
Saying goodbye to friends is hard. Especially when they move across country. Last weekend I had the pleasure to attend and photograph our friends daughter's 4th birthday party, which was also their farewell to Colorado party as well. It was bittersweet! Miss Emily turned 4 and had all of her friends there to help her celebrate! What better kind of party is there. Although we say goodbye, we also welcome the adventures ahead :) You will be greatly missed Hermida Family.
I've been photographing this cute little guy since he was 6 months old. A few weeks ago he turned one and what a fun session we got to have. We were very fortunate to get one of those random 75 degree weather days here in Colorado in February. Meaning we were able to do our session outside instead of our planned inside session! Not only was it a beautiful day, but his Grandparents were in from out of town as well, and they were able to get in on some photo fun!
