Pregnancy Announcement Family Session in the Rocky Mountains
Carmen and her crew traveled to the Rocky Mountains for a family session with me where they announced their pregnancy with their sons. We went to one of my favorite spots, Brainard Lake, and we adventured in the forest, exploring all the moss covered everything. Walking on logs to show off how well they can balance, the boys really sunk into time with their parents and their parents got to be present with them too. Gifts all around, friends.
These kiddos (and their mom and dad) were so fun to hang with. They were also already practicing at being big big brothers by taking turns carrying a bag and flowers their family brought to the session. The boys definitely wanted to help and it was pretty sweet. As we made our way through the forest, along the rushing creek, the boys excitedly talked with me about their lives and were eager to show off their balancing and rock finding skills. To see them light up sharing things that were important to the is super special and I am thankful I got to be there for it.

It had been a while since I had been up to this particular location with a family, usually it is a couple, which is also super rad in it’s own right, but this time was different. My son got to come with me too and help like his sister used to when she was younger. Now, she is 19 and has her own job (hello full time shift lead at Dutch Bros). Helping mom on a “session” isn’t as cool anymore, haha. Being in this space with this family and with my son put a fire in my creative heart and really made for a beautiful time with them and for my son and me too. We really connected and I do think it shows through in their gallery. Love. All the pure and authentic love. Here. Right now. It is here.
Thinking about booking a session with me? I would love to have you. Come. Bring your crew. Snuggle up, love, and let me handle the rest. See you soon, friends.

Support Your Community with Small Sessions in Colorado Springs
Colorado Springs Small Sessions are open! This year I am offering an indoor and an outdoor option for Spring Small Sessions. Small Sessions is another way of saying Micro or Mini sessions but I took a note from my friend Jocelyn Collins (hey babe!) and are calling them small sessions this year because it’s fun!
For the indoor sessions, we will hang out at Cultivate Studios in Old Colorado City and for the outdoor sessions, we will adventure in an urban creek located in South Springs. Yes, that means we don’t have to travel into the mountain and it won’t be (as) freezing.
Small Sessions are taking place both April 29th and 30th. Read the post for all the details and to book. See you there babes!
Colorado Springs Small Sessions + Community
We can hang out at Cultivate Studios in Old Colorado City snuggling up on your babes during the day or…..
We can hang out at an urban creek around sunset getting dirty (and looking pretty). You pick, friend. I’ll be there.
Not only will you be there too, you’ll also be supporting the Success Collective in Colorado Springs’ endeavor to provide feminine hygiene products and undergarments for homeless women in need when you book your small session.
For EVERY small session booked, Wild Prairie Photography will donate $50 to the Success Collective of Colorado Springs to help them reach their goal of 100,000 items this year, which will fully supply our local Colorado Springs homeless women friends with the products they need to keep clean and comfortable for one year. Pretty rad, right?
You can learn more about the Colorado Springs chapter of the Success Collective on their Facebook Page and also check out the organization as a whole on their website.
The Location Details
Indoor Studio Spring Small Sessions are held at Cultivate Studios in Old Colorado City. Their new street-level studio is open and wow, is it pretty. There are plants galore, a soft squishy bed to lounge (or jump on), several couches and chairs we can utilize (including a beautiful wicker egg chair), and plenty of space for you and your loves to relax.
Think authentic connection in a temperature-controlled environment, perfect for those new babes, small babes, or friends who just aren’t into going outside quite yet with the weather.
Outdoor Creek Small Sessions are held at an urban creek in south Colorado Springs. This location is one I have been seeking since I moved to Colorado and when I found it, I jumped around like a kid (ask my son, he was with me). Location scouting is something that I love to do and when it pays off, it’s amazing. This location is a guarantee to get wet as we cross a low stream to get to the prime spots.
Full details and tips to make the most of this location are shared prior to your session.

Three Reasons You Should Book Your Maternity and Newborn Sessions Together
Erin and Bobby met with me for both their maternity and their newborn sessions. We explored Cheyenne Canyon for their maternity session and then snuggled up in their home for my time with baby Sawyer. I love working with clients through their life stories. Engagement, wedding, maternity, newborn, family, and then back through the cycle with each new babe. Seeing their family change and grow. From being madly in love to seeing how amazing your partner is at growing a whole person (and an organ, thank you), to holding that babe in your arms, to chasing them around on the mountainside, I want to be there for it all. I want to build that relationship with you. It’s not just about photography. It’s about your heart (and mine).
Let me tell you a story about this girl. This sweet mama here. She booked her newborn session with me and I was so excited to see babe when they arrived. Fast forward to a few months after she booked the newborn session, her husband, Bobby, reached out to me. Turns out Erin tried to take her own maternity photos and it just wasn’t what she envisioned. Bobby wanted to know if I could sneak them in last minute. Yasssssssss is almost always my answer when its past clients (I also did their couples photos) AND babies are involved because I love them so.

Bobby let me know that he wanted to surprise Erin with this session and we met up at a Starbucks and he picked up a gift card. Fast forward to our session, Erin got to wear a beautiful dress I had just picked up from Reclamation Design and she wore it like a damn queen with that mama's belly and her gorgeous hair (I am just a tad jealous). It was nice to catch up with them both during this time together and also via their video call to prepare to come to their home for their newborn session. All of the extra time together just made it that much more special and natural for me when sweet Sawyer arrived.
Okay, I did say I would give ya’ll three reasons you should book your maternity and newborn session together….here they are:
You get to foster a relationship with someone who is going to be getting pretty intimate with you during your newborn session. It is so nice to be able to get to know them beforehand (it’s nice for me to get to know you too!!)
You can be confident that you will get the same quality of service and the same style of images from your photographer. Hello, super pretty wall art spreads!
You get a discount! When you book your sessions together, the photographer most likely will offer you a discount (I do, you can request a proposal below to check out the details).
Super easy list of some things you might not think matter but I promise, connecting with the person who is documenting your connection is the best way to get those “feel good” images that evoke emotion and depth in your soul. I would love to work through your life journey with you. Want to share those moments with me so I can give them back to you in a gallery you will love? Let’s connect!

Trusting Your Photographer to Find You the Perfect Location
Katie and Michael, I am over the moon for you. You shared your authentic love for each other and your sweet babe during your maternity session with me and it was magnificent. We explored and adventured and celebrated you, Katie. Beautiful mama, beautiful soul. You were kind and so sweet. Thank you again for those beautiful flowers and thoughtful card you brought me when we finally got to meet. They meant so much. It made me feel connected to you and Michael. Thank you for letting me take part in this season of your lives.
Maternity photos are about capturing a part of life that’s really special and emotional. It is a time when you are feeling powerful and your emotions are heightened. It is important to find a photographer that understands you and your needs. It is also important to find a photographer that is familiar with all of the banging locations in the area. That is why I provide all of my clients with extensive location assistance that includes access to my client-exclusive location catalog. Of course, I invite clients to scroll through my IG feed as well to find a location they love.

Katie was open about her location and let me choose. I had done some recent hiking with a friend who I adore (I am looking at you Tab) and when we walked into this location, my jaw dropped. Full of blooming yuca plants at the time, I knew this would be a new location that my clients and I would come to love. I took my family here a few weeks prior and it was just what I wanted in a new location. It did not disappoint. Sweeping range views, wildflowers, and a variety of interesting landscapes. Perfectly beautiful.
Want to check out a new location with me and document that sweet growing baby bump too? I would love to plan your maternity session with you and find a location that sings to your heart. Let’s hang?
Maternity and Newborn Sessions Document Your Growing Family
Hanging out with families for both their maternity and newborn sessions is such a sweet thing for me. I get to follow along with your pregnancy journey and document that sweet love right from the start. Andrea and her family met me last year during my fall mini sessions. Their little boy Findlay was shy to start but I found a way to break through to his tender heart. Look at him now, a big brother.
When families book me for both their maternity and their newborn session, I love to give a discount on both sessions. It is my way of saying thank you for wanting to work with me through the seasons in your life. Rewarding in my heart of hearts, when those sweet babes are born, it is magic.

Boho Maternity Session with View of Pikes Peak
Kaitlyn and Jake, how did you two create such a beautiful baby boy? Ledger and I became fast friends during his mama’s maternity session with me in this lovely Colorado Springs location. It was a bit chilly that evening but still warm enough to have little Ledger’s bare skin showing with his mama. Doesn’t it just make those first few photos all that more authentically connected?
Kaitlyn trusted me to guide her with what I felt would look good and tell their story in the most authentic way. I took my lead from Ledger, and when he got too chilly, we put on the beautiful undershirt that his mama brought for him.

It was all so lovely and perfect and by taking my lead from Ledger, it allowed him to naturally be happy, until the end of the session, haha. He was just overwhelmed and wasn’t having it anymore. That’s when I held him and took a few of just mama and dad with that sweet baby belly. Ledger and I worked together and I made sure to make sure that he was feeling good in the neighborhood as much as I could. That’s my favorite part; leaving the littles feeling happy.
Anyway, I cannot wait to see this sweet babe and see Ledger be a big brother! Kaitlyn, I will be stalking your IG feed girl, you better believe it!

Maternity Session at Red Rock Canyon in Colorado Springs
Jess and I met when I did some consulting work for the Better Business Bureau of Southern Colorado. She sat in a desk area near mine and would help me proofread my important emails, haha. She is great at grammar and is a saint truth be told. I am so thankful that she asked me to help her document her first pregnancy with a maternity session.
I remember seeing their pregnancy announcement on social media. She and Andrew posted a photo of both of them eating all the things out of the fridge to illustrate the joys of becoming a mother and father, haha. It was pretty fun. In the back of my mind, I was sending them vibes to reach out to me because I wanted to document that bump when she got bigger. Yes!!

Andrew and Jess let me hang out with them over at Red Rock Canyon Open Space. There are several areas at this Colorado Springs Open Space but this specific one is one of my favorites. Jess said she liked the red rocks too so it was a great fit! Andrew and Jess, thank you for spending time with me! I cannot wait to meet your sweet babe!
Friend, are you having a sweet babe soon and want to hang out with me too? I would love to look over locations with you and find the perfect spot to document this amazing time in your life. You can check out information on my Maternity Sessions via the button below. Talk soon!
Mountain Maternity Session near Pikes Peak
When I get to work with a client for both their maternity AND their newborn session, I feel extra special. It is something special to trust someone to document not only one but two amazingly important times in their life. Laura is due in just a few days and I am so excited to get that message that their sweet babe has arrived.
I noticed something during my time together with Laura and David. David helped Laura along during our session. Making sure her every step was carefully taken and he was there to ensure she didn’t fall. It makes me think about how it might feel to be the dad in a pregnancy. I have been pregnant, but I am not a dad. To feel so much love for someone before you have ever met them, let alone felt their presence, in the unique way only a mother can. They protect and care for and love that sweet babe, right from the start. That is some powerful love.
Maternity Session with Mountain View near Pikes Peak
When I get to work with a client for both their maternity AND their newborn session, I feel extra special. It is something special to trust someone to document not only one but two amazingly important times in their life. Laura is due in just a few days and I am so excited to get that message that their sweet babe has arrived.
I noticed something during my time together with Laura and David. David helped Laura along during our session. Making sure her every step was carefully taken and he was there to ensure she didn’t fall. It makes me think about how it might feel to be the dad in a pregnancy.

Felicia and her crew were so sweet during our time together. You can tell they are a family who loves together and plays together.

Colorado Springs Maternity Family Session While on Vacation
Felicia connected with me to document her sweet family and her pregnancy while on their trip to Colorado Springs. I would say that about 40% of my clients each year are comprised of folks visiting our beautiful city and mountains. They reach out to me not only to take their photos in our beautiful landscape, but also to get insight into where to go, what to eat, and how to get the most out of their time here in Colorado. I love giving recommendations for my favorites places to eat and just helping make sure everyone has the best time they can while exploring our magnificent mountains.

Garden of the Gods Maternity Family Session
Pregnancy. What a gift. How amazing is it that women can grow a whole organ (the placenta) and ALSO grow a whole sweet babe? I can’t even wrap my head around how amazing the body is to be able to accomplish such a task. It seems like a miracle at times. I am not a religious person but the human body and creation of life makes me want to be.
Allison and her sweet family met me for a perfect night in Colorado Springs. We enjoyed each other’s company and I spent allll session trying to be friends with sweet little miss Ellie. If you scroll down the bottom of these blog post image favorites, you will see that it finally happened. Or maybe it was just the chocolate chips and first-ever Annie’s Bunny Gummy Snacks her mama gave her. Either way, I’ll take it!

I cannot wait to see what kind of big sister she will become to her sweet baby brother who is arriving oh so soon! I have no doubt that she will love him with her whole heart. Allison, as a mama to so many kiddos, I will tell you, it won’t always be easy, but it will always be worth it. Those little babes will look at you like you are their world and they certainly will complete yours.
Congratulations on your sweet baby boy mama. You better believe I am going to be stalking your IG page for when he finally arrives. I cannot wait!

Pikes Peak View Maternity Session in Woodland Park
Ten years. That is a long time to wait for something you want so badly. Their time is finally here though and it is the best damn thing in this world. Lauran and Colt have waited so long for this. Ready to be parents. Arms open and warm. The thing is, when you have to wait so long for something, when it finally happens, you cherish it. I mean really cherish it. Every moment. Every feeling. Every thought. I am here for it friends. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with me. I cannot say enough how honored I am to be the one who sets these moments in stone.

Lauran reached out to me to book a maternity/newborn bundle session. With each client, I send a questionnaire over to understand their why for wanting a session. I will admit, I cried happy tears when Lauran shared their story with me. I couldn’t wait to talk to her during our pre-session video call. To tell her how happy I was that she picked me. I know there are a lot of options out there for someone to document your story and the fact that she (and Colt) chose me to tell their story for me, that’s a feeling beyond words.
In just a few short days I get to meet this sweet girl of theirs. I get to see who she looks like more. I get to witness that undying love between a mother and her babe. Those first snuggles. Those first kisses. Those first moments that are ever so fleeting and gone before you know it. I know it sounds cheesy to say “I love documenting” but this is different. In the future, when they are done changing diapers and their babe heads off to college, they can look back at these and remember what it took to get to this point. To be here. Thank you for including me in your authentically beautiful journey. From the bottom of my heart.
Interested in talking with me about how I can create a gallery like this for you? Send me a message and tell me your why. I would love to soulfully capture your pregnancy and those first moments of your sweet babes life. Truly.
Mountain View Maternity Session in Colorado Springs
Mallory and Brian decided they would book me for both their maternity and newborn session. I offer a bundle for parents who want to stick with the same photographer for both sessions. My maternity sessions are like what you see here. Natural light, outdoors, and full of that Colorado beauty. For my newborn sessions, I offer in-home lifestyle sessions. This means nearly no posing of you or baby and documenting you in your space right now. New mama. Loving on that sweet babe with your tired arms and eyes but your heart so full of love you almost didn’t know you could love that much. I’ll be there for it. Let me journey with you?
Colorado Springs Sunset Twin Maternity Session
Mallory was referred to me by the beautiful Amy Aragundi and her and her honey drove all the way down from Denver to meet with me to document their pregnancy of their boy/girl twins. This session is super special to me because I have boy/girl twins of my own. Though I didn’t birth them, they are 100% mine in my heart and I love everything about this journey Mallory and Brian are about to embark on.
I feel extra lucky because these beautiful humans were nothing but gracious and kind to me during our time together. I get to continue that journey when I visit their home near the end of the month to document those two tiny humans when they arrive. I can think of nothing better to do with a morning. Two babes? In my new beautiful Moses basket? Yes, please.

Stephanie reached out to me several months ago about booking both her maternity session and her newborn session with me. Guys, she bought this dress in January of this this year.
