I love the unpredictability kids bring to our lives. We try to calculate their moods, what they want, or how they will act and inevitability it is not what we expected. This is the beauty of kids because they teach us to live in the moment and accept it. Little Lucy was unpredictable during her mom's maternity session but the images created were authentic to this family's life at this moment.
I can't wait to meet this new little bean in September. Keep me posted!
Stacey Potter, a beautiful mom and an amazing photographer, is expecting a little girl at the end of August. 34 weeks pregnant, she hiked around Chautauqua this evening with her family while I captured her family at this moment. Needless to say, I was impressed.
Back in April, Stacey did my maternity photos and I loved them. I hope she cherishes her images as much as we do.
i love photographing pregnant women in the fall because it reminds me of my own pregnancy.
my daughter will be two in a couple of weeks and i really can't believe how fast the time has flown by. her childhood has been very well documented up until a few weeks ago. now when i go to take her picture she says "no cheese mama, no cheese." i have to bribe her with a cookie and her reply is "two, two cookies" and then she smiles. the cookie only works sometimes.
last week was just the perfect fall weekend. heather looked so beautiful and it was so much fun to capture her at this time in her life. i look forward to meeting your soon in a the weeks to come.
What a glorious fall weekend it was in boulder. It was the perfect fall day on Saturday just what you would expect fall to be. Nichole is in her last month of pregnancy and can't wait to meet her daughter. I am looking forward to seeing them all in a month for newborn photos.
Keep me posted!
One of Meredith's baby shower gifts was me. Her dear friend gave her a maternity and newborn session as a gift because she did not document her own pregnancy and wish she had. While you are pregnant, you feel it will never end. But after the birth, you can barely remember what you looked like pregnant. During my own pregnancy, I photographed myself every few weeks and I cherish all those photos. Even though at times I did not feel so pretty, I still documented the change and I am so happy I did.
I love Meredith's expression in the last image. Authentic and real.
I met Joyce last week and we had so much fun during her maternity session. She was open and willing to try anything during the session even traipsing in a field with a ton of mosquitoes. A glowing mom-to-be and so excited with the soon arrival of her son, we documented this last phase of pregnancy before moving into motherhood.
In only a few weeks I will be back to capture her son first few weeks of life. I will be looking for the email announcing his arrival. Best wishes, Joyce.
Three weeks until Kim's due date and she looks amazing. The baby was kicking around a lot during the session reminding us of her presence. Kim hired me for a maternity and newborn session so I will be going back over just as soon as she arrives. Looking forward to meeting her.

Everything these days happens so fast and it is wonderful when we slow down to really see.
Pregnancy is nine months which at first seems like a lifetime. During my pregnancy, I often seemed to be more concerned with the future then really focusing on the present. When I took the time to photograph my own growing belly during my pregnancy, I cherished the time to slow down to look at myself and what my body was doing. Pregnancy is such an amazing time in a woman's life. Everything is changing. My own belly photos mean so much to me and I can't believe Madeleine was in there.
I loved being able to capture this moment for Laura + Kevin so they can remember and reflect on this time in the future. This time will always be remembered for them as well.
best friends who have the same due date, september 5th. what could be more special.
