Four’s a Charm | Fort Collins, CO Family Photography

There is something so incredibly beautiful about the promise of new life. This time is sacred and precious and the anticipation is like nothing else in the world. Whether it is your first child or your sixth, the love just grows and grows and everyone is on pins and needles anxiously waiting to meet one of the most important people they will ever know. It is a journey like none other. And this darling family is taking it.

This little princess is going to make an amazing big sister. She was just this affectionate, darling little blond haired beauty. Many times she would come over and take my hand and melt me. Her parents are doing it right. She is a sweet soul and her brother is going to be one well loved little man. I hope so much to have the honor of watching them grow because they were just SO wonderful to be around. It was effortless.

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
