I got chills photographing this trio for their Golden Lifestyle Newborn Session. The lilacs were in full bloom on their property and it felt like such a special gift to be invited in to celebrate motherhood with these beautiful women.

The sweetness in this handsome babe’s demeanor was such a joy and gift to witness and document.

Congrats to this family of three and welcome to the world, little W. You are so loved.

Denver Cake Smash Photographer | When to Schedule your Cake Smash!

I have no words for the insane cuteness that is Mae and this adorable Denver Cake Smash Photo session!!!!! From those gorgeous baby blue eyes, her sweet hair that looks so so soft and that sweet dimply baby smile. Happy Denver first birthday cake smash photo session, sweet girl!

I’ve gotten questions lately about when the best time to schedule one year cake smash photos - the answer might surprise you!

11 Months is the Ideal Time for a Baby's First-Year Cake Smash Photoshoot

As a Denver cake smash and baby photographer, these sessions are some of my favorites!!!!

This sweet tradition involves your almost one year old babe diving into a cake or sometimes just playing in the frosting! I love these candid and hilarious moments.

Through my years of experience, I've found that scheduling the cake smash around the baby's 11th month is a HUGE advantage. Hear me out…Less mobility = more patience.

As babies grow (so fast!) and their mobility increases, they are MUCH less interested in being held or staying still and around 11 months. They’ve just learned to walk, be mobile, indulge their curiosities about the world and explore but haven't fully mastered the art of walking or running. As a Denver Cake Smash photographer,cake-smash-milk-bath this translates into more flexibility, better photos and a less exhausted mom t the end of your session!

Sweet little nuggets at this age are more likely to hang in one spot for longer periods which offers a wider range of expressions and interactions. Their patience (I type that word with a smile) will offer more variety in images in your gallery for selection.

Thrilled to join you in celebration of your family and celebrate your parenthood journey!

Mom brought the cute floral rings and cake stand with cake and flowers! She mentioned she got the cake at Cake Crumbs in Park Hill and expected it to be bigger. :) I always recommend measuring but honestly think this size cake was perfect for her Denver Studio Cake Smash!

Happy birthday sweet girl, such an honor to capture your Denver First Birthday Cake Smash Photo Session with you and your family!

Newborn Handome Boy Photos

Have you ever seen a more handsome boy? Scroll down to see the gorgeous genes that created this sweet face! :) His Denver newborn photos were scheduled in just the right time and I loved celebrating with them for their Denver Maternity session!

Isn’t this brand new Central Park Denver Mama totally glowing and radiant with her sweet baby boy? I loved her dress and it offered just the right vibe for their in home Denver lifestyle newborn session. The early days of welcoming a newborn baby can feel dreamy, tired, filled with an awe like love and oh so cozy. Conceptualizing getting out of the comfy gear and into a dress an ever-changing postpartum body can feel like a task and a half! I so honor all new moms that work hard to build visual legacies for their brand new babies. These Denver newborn photos are such a special gift to these newborn babes!

Ever wonder why newborn photos are done so early?

Newborn photos are notoriously said to be best in the first three weeks after the baby is born. A peek into the scientific side of things - babies are born with melatonin that has been passed from mom which decreases around the three week mark. You may know that melatonin is a hormone that helps regulate sleep, and it’s what makes newborns snoozy and sleepy. Scheduling Denver newborn sessions while your newborn still maintains higher levels of melatonin offers a tired babe for their Denver newborn photo session. If you’re looking for those sleepy Denver newborn photos - schedule them within the first three weeks after your baby is born, I’d suggest scheduling them before babe is born-one less thing to consider after baby arrives in your sleepy postpartum state. Reach out today to schedule your Denver in home studio lifestyle session!

Ever wonder about techniques to get some rest after having a Denver Newborn baby - I know my clients aim to look well rested for their Denver newborn lifestyle photo sessions.

First of all, congratulations on your new bundle of joy! Welcoming a baby into your life is a beautiful and transformative experience. However, it often comes with sleepless nights and fatigue. As a new parent, getting enough sleep can seem like an impossible dream, but fear not – there are strategies to help you catch some much-needed Zzzs. In this blog post, we'll share practical tips to help you get the sleep you need after having a baby.

1. Embrace the Power of Naps:

- Take advantage of your Denver baby's nap times to catch up on sleep. Even short power naps can make a significant difference in your energy levels.

- When your Denver newborn baby naps, consider lying down and closing your eyes, even if you can't sleep deeply. Rest is still beneficial.

2. Share Nighttime Duties:

- Team up with your partner to share nighttime responsibilities. Create a schedule that allows each of you to take turns getting uninterrupted sleep.

- If you're breastfeeding, pump and store milk so your partner can help with nighttime feedings.

3. Create a Relaxing Bedtime Routine:

- Establish a calming bedtime routine for both you and your Denver newborn baby. This can include dimming the lights, soothing music, and gentle rocking or cuddling.

- A consistent routine can signal to your body that it's time to wind down.

4. Prioritize Sleep Hygiene:

- Make your sleep environment as comfortable as possible. Invest in a good mattress, blackout curtains, and white noise machines to minimize disruptions.

- Keep the room at a comfortable temperature and consider using earplugs or an eye mask if necessary.

5. Seek Help and Support:

- Don't hesitate to ask for help from friends and family. They can assist with household chores or take care of the baby while you rest.

- Consider hiring a postpartum doula or a babysitter for occasional respite.

6. Practice Self-Care:

- Take care of yourself physically and mentally. Eat nutritious meals, stay hydrated, and engage in light exercise when you can.

- Consider mindfulness techniques, such as deep breathing or meditation, to reduce stress and anxiety.

7. Let Go of Perfection:

- Understand that it's okay if your house isn't perfectly tidy or if you're not able to accomplish everything on your to-do list. Focus on what truly matters – your baby's well-being and your own health.

8. Stay Flexible:

- Be prepared for unpredictable sleep patterns during the early months. Babies' sleep habits change frequently, so adapt your routine as needed.

- Take advantage of opportunities to rest during the day to make up for nighttime interruptions.

Adjusting to parenthood can be challenging, especially when it comes to getting enough sleep. Remember that you're not alone, and seeking support from loved ones and professionals can make a world of difference. By implementing these sleep solutions and being patient with yourself, you'll find ways to sneak in some much-needed rest and ensure you're well-equipped to care for your precious little one. Sweet dreams!

Happy International Dog Day!!

Dogs and newborns are my most very favorite combo in a session followed by babies of any age and dogs haha. Celebrating all these furry siblings - including a cat I couldn’t help but include!

Lifestyle newborn photography is all about connection. A brand new boy mom holding her baby and admiring his miraculous adorable brand newborn sweetness. Dad snuggles in close for a kiss. Brand new proud parents and a big brother or sister fur baby pup gazing at this new wonder that they created.

Sessions in your home aren’t working toward posing baby in any crazy poses or using props, as such babes don’t need to be sleeping. Open eye shots are some of my Denver Newborn Photography clients favorite photos.

If a few weeks pass by and you find yourself snuggled at home with a new baby, you can absolutely still schedule Denver newborn photos! The first few weeks offer that super sleepy vibe AND Denver lifesytle portratis are still possible in your home or in studio!

I have been so honored to join this crew for three years of sessions - I’ve lost count how many between sessions over at Rose for their fresh 48 to fall sessions once their first born’s first year baby sessions were complete. Thrilled to meet this adorable little brother for his Fresh 48, newborn, sitting session featured here and their Denver fall mini session coming up here in a couple of months.
