I Know What Moms Need
As a mother of 3 young kids, and 17 years of experience as a photographer, I get it.
Your days feel full and, sometimes, really hard. When we work together, I'll make this easy.
We will plan for photos based on best lighting and kids' nap schedules, because cranky kids do not equal a fun photo session. Your location will be determined based on what you want. I have a whole list of great spots for photo sessions!
Moms, I have flattering dresses at my studio for you to choose from. I also include professional hair and makeup for you.
I have dresses for your daughters sized 9m-6T. I'll also give you guidance on what the rest of your family can wear via FaceTime or text. Coordinating your clothes to the location makes a big difference.
At the end of it all, I don't just dump a bunch of digitals in a gallery for you to figure out what to do with.
I personally guide you on choosing your favorites and how best to enjoy your images - usually it's a combination of digitals and product (albums or wall art). Nothing can replace the experience of looking at your family portraits with your loved ones.

FAQ
When should i photograph my maternity or newborn session?
When should i book our session?
For maternity, I suggest doing your portraits between 28-33 weeks. Any less, and it may be hard to see the bump; any more, and you are OVER.IT. Here is some maternity photography advice that may help.
For newborn photos, I like to do them before they are 2 weeks old as baby acne can set in and they are itty-bitty. But if you miss that window, no worries! Since I do lifestyle newborn photography, I've done 6 week olds.
Generally family portrait clients book a few months out, newborn clients book 1-4 months out. When I can, I always try to work people in last minute, but availability will be more limited, especially during my busy months. I take a specific amount of clients each month so as to give great attention to each.
What should we wear?
Where should we take our photos?
All newborn portraits are taken at your home. Do not worry about the mess. I just need a small corner of a room to make things work :)
For family portraits, at your home, backyard, a park or favorite spot are all good. If you have children under 3, I highly suggest at least starting at your house so we meet somewhere they are comfortable. Here are some of my favorite family portrait locations in Denver.
Whether you're boho or classic, jeans and blouse or a maxi dress - I'll help you piece it all together.
Once you book, I will send you a link to my client wardrobe for women and girls, as well as a styling guide for you to get ideas based on your style and age of children. You are able to purchase clothes from there or shop your closet. Remember - complementing, not matching!
How Long do portraits taKE?
Are Digitals included?
The creative fee covers my time and talent for our session, as well as editing the images. All digitals, prints, albums and wall art are ordered a la carte at your Viewing and Ordering Appointment which takes place about a week after your session. All of my albums and wall art include the matching digital. I also offer various digital only collections.
Family sessions are generally 45-70 minutes long. If your family is rocking it, then I won't keep you longer if we've gotten the shots I want. If your family takes a little longer to warm up, no problem! There's really no time limit, but I will say with almost 2 decades of experience, I'm efficient :)
Newborn sessions take about 45-90 minutes. Baby leads the session, so if baby needs to eat, then baby gets what baby wants - ha!
I need to lose weight first ...
Sunset sessions are so late - can we do them earlier?
Sure, we can do a sunrise session! Why not? Your kids are up early, happy and ready to rumble.
But if you're not an early riser, then yes, 1.5-2 hours before sunset is prime time to get that golden light. Feed your littles an early dinner and then let them get the wiggles out during our session. I've found this works best for kids 1.5 years and older.
Obviously beautiful light is useless if your kids are melting down, so if you don't think your kids can make it, then we can look into a mid-morning time slot, and shoot at a location that has open shade.
Listen, your kids just keep growing. Time doesn't stop. I see families miss out on capturing years of family memories because of their own insecurities about their appearance. And I have been there - trust me! (Hello 3 kids!)
Even if you are carrying a few extra pounds and feeling self-conscious about your appearance, please trust me when I saw wearing the right dress, paired with professional hair and makeup, and being posed by a professional photographer will make quite a difference. You'll not only look, but (more importantly!) FEEL, amazing!
Don't wait for the perfect time to book photos, because most likely that doesn't exist.
