Hello little baby!
This morning we had the opportunity to meet this handsome little guy (and his parents) in our Denver studio for his very first photo shoot. Newborn sessions are so special to us because these are the pictures that families will use for birth announcements, they're some of the first pictures that will be sent to friends and family, and they will be among a family's favorite pictures to look back on as their babies grow.
We know that the first couple of weeks with your new baby will be exhausting and they will pass by so quickly. It may seem too daunting to come in for a newborn photo shoot, but your baby will never be this small again. We hear over and over again from families who skipped the newborn session say that they regret not having those pictures.
To make it easier for yourself after your baby is first born, pick a photographer ahead of time. We are happy to take flexible bookings for newborn sessions since babies like to arrive on their own schedule. Think about what kind of pictures you'd like to have with your baby (just the baby, the whole family with the baby, your dogs with the baby, etc.). And set a reminder on your phone to call your photographer soon after your baby is born to confirm the day of your appointment.
Happy 4th Birthday! TBT
This little muchkin just turned 4!!! It was so fun to have her family in the studio again and to meet her new little brother. Wishing you a very fun year as you start preschool!
Six month baby portraits
Many times our clients will be excited (and plan ahead) for their newborn photo shoot, but then forget to schedule additional sessions during the baby's first year. 6-8 months is a really fun age for the next photo shoot to document all the changes that have happened since their newborn pictures. Also, this age is really fun to work with and Mark can get a whole range of expressions out of babies that make stunning portraits.
Stop and smell the flowers! TBT
The blooming crab apple trees are one of my favorite things about spring! Thankfully, due to the especially nice weather we've experienced in Denver this spring, they've stuck around for a couple of weeks now. Even when I'm in a hurry, I can't help but stop and smell the blossoms. I hope you are enjoying them as much as we do here!
Two years ago this little Munchkin was first introduced to the crab apple flowers and she's been a big fan of them ever since! This year she's old enough to attempt jumping to reach them.
The Little Cowboy - TBT
We've had the privilege of photographing this Denver family since the family was just his mom, dad & 2 dalmatians. In addition to the multiple photo shoots leading up to his 1st birthday, including his newborn photo shoot and 6 month baby shoot, this photo shoot was so much fun! Baby butt in a sombrero? Smash cake on a naked baby? Or little cowboy with his trusty steed? We covered it all! It is so much fun for us to see your children grow and we love "growing" along with you to document all the milestones along the way. We're always happy to do a theme-specific photography session if you have something specific in mind that you'd like to try. This little guy is now in school (how did that happen???), but we're still enjoying photographing his family and his new little brother when they visit Denver!
Our Favorite Things: Kids and Dogs
We love working with both kids and dogs, and it is always fun to combine these two passions in a single photo shoot. This is perhaps our favorite picture of 2015 so far! As a small, boutique photography studio, we are able to tailor each photo shoot to our client's wants and needs to create a unique, lasting memory that they will cherish for years to come.

Photographing your child's milestones
We are frequently asked when are the best times to have professional portraits taken of babies. We know that kids grow very quickly and it's important to document the key milestones of their development. Here are the three most common times to come in for a portrait with our studio:
Newborns. To get a true newborn portrait, it is best to have your session during the baby's first 10 days. We will work with your schedule to make sure that we can see you during this time and give you suggestions for the day of your shoot to make the session go as smoothly as possible for everyone involved. Many families choose to have a new family portrait taken to include the newest member of the family at this time. We are happy to create portraits of all the siblings, of mom and baby, the new parents with the baby, or even your fur kids with the new baby.
6 Months. We find that we capture some really fun moments around the time your baby is able to sit up by themselves. The timing of this varies by baby, but it is usually around the 5-6 month mark. This is the time where they are very expressive and their personality really starts to show in the pictures.
1 Year. Many people like having their baby's 1 year birthday portrait done. This is perhaps the most common time to come in for a portrait after the newborn session. A lot of changes happen in the first 12 months and it's fun to see the little person they've grown to be. We have a lot of fun with the 1 year baby pictures and are happy to work with you on your specific ideas for this session. Some people choose to bring in a birthday cake for the baby to smash, their favorite toy, or families want one last chance for a naked baby picture. This is also a great time to update your whole family portrait!
Update Your Family Portraits
Have you recently added a new 2 legged or 4 legged family member to your family? If so, then this is a great time to update your family portrait! Whether you've recently had a new baby or adopted a new fur friend, we would love to create a new work of art for your home that captures your entire family.
Hello Baby A
Baby A came in recently for her newborn photo shoot. She's already very curious about her new big world. She's the perfect new addition to her beautiful family and we look forward to seeing her grow!
