Cheyenne Mountain State Park Newborn Session
The family session that was two years in the making. Thatβs what you are seeing here. Gerald and his family had seen my work long ago, when Geraldβs son Lucas and his mama, Soraya, would hang out with me each year. They lived in the midwest and being so, we didnβt quite get the chance to connect. A few years back Soraya, purchased a gift certificate (yes, I have those!) for Lucasβ dad. Fast forward a few years, they moved here AND had a sweet baby girl. It was fate that our paths did not cross until this very moment. Getting to this moment was like a careful dance. Reschedules dues to COVID, colds, and the weather. It was meant to be on this day. Perfectly beautiful in all the ways. The universe provides.
This is the first time I have worked with a blended family like this. Seeing my little friend, Lucas with his mom and now with his dad, itβs a beautiful thing to take part in. To see the people that sculpt his mind into one that is always curious, inquisitive, respectful, and kind. Co-parenting at its finest, friends. You can see the love that Kayla (his bonus mama) has for Lucas and it reminds me of the love I have for my husbandβs children. The kind of love that is so big it hurts in a good way. Kayla and I were chatting about date nights and she said the only person she feels okay with leaving baby girl with right now is Lucasβ mama. How sweet is that? Soraya, I see what happens when you arenβt there mama, trust me when I say, heβs in the best hands.

I cannot wait to see your family grow Gerald and, Soraya, Lucas sure looks a lot like you in these photos. Thank you for trusting me all these years to provide you with tangible proof that you were there, in the thick of motherhood. Gerald, I am forever grateful that you have placed your trust in me too. No longer an βadmirer from afarβ, I got to hold your baby and I still canβt get over how sweet she is. Eeee!! Itβs secretly my favorite part of newborn sessions. Iβm like, βthis is how we do the couples portraitsβ but really I just want to snuggle the babe. Yaβll looked cute though so it works. ha.
I can feel that summer is trying to peek through the clouds and cold days friends. I cannot wait for everything it has in store. I have so many new and seasoned families and couples on the books this year already and I am stoked to get to hang out with them all. I do still have limited availability for summer sessions so itβs been on your mind, be sure to reach out soon so we can start our journey together. I want to be the person that you can rely on to document the messy, the love, the real real.
Rocky Mountain Pregnancy Reveal Family Session
Sweet Janine and her beautiful family. I got to work with them when their baby girl Mia was born. I just fell in love with the way they love their kids. Janine and I talk often and I just feel so thankful to be in their lives. She sent me an IG message telling me that she was pregnant AND that she wanted to capture the reaction of her husband.
We checked out a new location for me (I love this spot so much!) and Janine and Zach adventured with their babes on the trails near Cheyenne Mountain. I love that they let their babes run and play and they really follow their lead. My favorite way to have a family session!

Towards the end of their time with me, Janine whispered in her sweet boyβs ear that she was pregnant, he whispered it to his brother, and then they told their daddy. It was a first for me and such a great moment to be a part of. Can I do this all day every day? Okay, mamaβs, give me a call when you want to surprise your bae, Iβll be right there, haha. But seriously, letβs chat!
