Sweet Beginnings | Fort Collins, CO Lifestyle Photographer

There is something positively enchanting about Motherhood. When I was really delving into what I wanted my newborn work to embody, I instantly knew I wanted it to be so much more than just about the newborn child. You see, newborns are precious and sweet and you could add just about any cutesy adjective in the mix but Motherhood… parenthood is a powerful thing. And the bond. There is quite nothing like that bond. We all love differently and in different ways. Families are all vastly different yet there is one commonality. Soul. Soul and love and commitment. And the ability to tell a story-a story that is just beginning. What a privilege it is to help do that from the very beginning. And if I am truly blessed, I will get to watch these babies grow. As a mother and a business owner it just embodies all that I love.

This sweet family welcomed their first child in the family this spring and I have been so excited to share. I have been quietly testing the waters in lifestyle photography to make sure it was truly where my heart is. If my heart isn’t in it- I can’t commit a million percent. I am the committed type. It took some reflection but coming back to these images reaffirmed that. I just want to capture connection. It doesn’t matter how or where. It just needs to be authentic. The tenderness and pride this Mama had written all over her when she looked upon her newborn was all that and more.

And here is the beginning of many amazing things to come for them. These are just a few of my favorite from this day. j1w j7w j8w j9w j10w j11w j12w j13w j14w j15w j16w j17w j18w j19w j21w j22w j24w j25w j26w j27w j28w j29w j30w

Pure, Simple, Sweet | Fort Collins, CO Lifestyle Photographer

This year I have began a brand new journey in my Photography ventures. I absolutely adore family photography. I love the connection. I love the emotion. I love it all.

For the past couple of years however, I have been honestly avoiding taking on newborn work because I have been trying to really dig deep and figure out what I wanted my images to say. I wanted them to go so much deeper than pretty photography. I wanted to offer my clients something timeless, yet something special and unique to them. I wanted them to have a true keepsake of these early days. They are so fleeting. You just don’t get any of this time back.

I think I have finally found my very own niche. I was invited to this beautiful family’s home to capture their newborn… but also their family, because every time we welcome a child into this world our entire dynamic changes. This is only scratching the surface. I want the real. I want the raw. I want to feel the love just emote from the images I take for the people I have the privilege of photographing. I want to truly capture them as they are and WHO they are. I want the hugs and the kisses and the snuggles but I also want what some would consider mundane. Things like family dinners, play and story time, arts and crafts, tickles and giggles and the quiet in between moments. And I have a feeling these sessions will evolve greatly as I take them.

And if this sounds right up your alley please do message me because I am now opening bookings on a full time basis for just this. Since it is a new venture I am offering a 15% discount on our session packages for these particular sessions.
