That Pregnancy Glow | Fort Collins, CO Maternity Photographer

I got to spend time with this lovely family on their property, right in their back yard in fact. I showed up about an hour or so before golden hour and was immediately taken aback by the beautiful tall golden grasses, and the view of the foot hills. Living in Colorado is a treat and I have access to the most beautiful locations, but when you get a special opportunity to spend time with a family on their home turf, it adds something that much more special to their images. I actually hope to even incorporate more lifestyle family sessions into my list of services so this was a really nice start.

I can’t speak enough to what a kindhearted and beautiful person this mama is. I came close to their little guy’s bedtime and we figured it would be hit or miss, so we let him do his own thing. He ran in and hopped in the photos when he felt up to it, and we snuck in some maternity images in between. She was so incredibly patient. I loved that her little guy would come in and check on her to make sure she was doing okay, and then he was off again before you could blink lol! The light was amazing and we used up just about every last bit we could. This was one of those galleries that could of went on and on.

The moments we captured. The moments were beautiful and genuine. We made quick work of what we needed and it ended up feeling more like hanging out with an old friend. I love when your job just doesn’t feel like a job (which is often!) And that rumored pregnancy glow.. if any one person ever had claim to that.. it would be this gorgeous woman!

Mama and Me | Old Town Fort Collins Photographer

Ever since we have moved to Colorado, Old Town has had a special place in my heart. From the charming works of art literally splashed on walls and beautiful hand painted pianos, to the gorgeous alley ways and unique shops- I could spend hours and hours down there. When I had a gorgeous Mama and her little ladies completely open to allow me to capture them there, I about lost it (in a good way ha!) and I have since found some more adorable spots with a ton of potential. I know the Mountains are crazy gorgeous and Colorado is chalk full of beauty at every turn, but urban has it’s own merits and this place is perfection if you are looking for something special and kitschy.

Mama has since had her little guy, and I will be photographing their beautiful family some day (sooner than later) I hope!!
