Denver FIrst Birthday Photos - Warren { One }

From the variety of sweet expressions captured on this sweet boy’s face to the bold colors of the wardrobe selections in this space - gah. I adore this fam.

This is a whole song and hopping sort of dance going on here in this next photo. Clapping, singing and some real, authentic smiles. Dream come true as a Denver first birthday photographer!

Did I mention this boy has personality?! :) Second round celebrating the love this crew shares for one another and want to call out how FUN these moms were. I have never seen such an expression of enthusiasm, JOY, playfulness, active, engaging goodness. Everybody should have a set of moms like this. Warren is a lucky one year old boy and I am so so thankful to be invited to celebrate and play and witness and document their love.

I hope this black and white gem gets pulled out and shown to love interests in Warren’s teenage years and beyond. He’s just so sweet and expressive and the toddler energy in this first birthday studio session just makes my heart skip a beat. :)

Scratch that actually. I hope it’s this one. He just has this handsome GQ goodness - that one year old hair, those cute little lips, his sweet sweet sweet dark blue eyes, those cute tiny litte one year old fingers. What a precious little angel!

A few of Warren and his moms in their newborn session! Sooo soo fun to see these sweet babies grow into toddlers! Its by far my most favorite thing about Denver first birthday and milestone sessions. Thank you to Warren and his moms for being so lovely to photograph over the last year, thank you for inviting me in to celebrate these special moments. It’s such an honor to witness the love and growth.

Courtney | Denver Studio Maternity Photographer

When Courtney reached out to schedule her maternity session, I was soooo thrilled at the ideas and concepts she brought to our chat! I met her handsome brother and his gorgeous family first welcoming their sweet little nugget earlier this year. I adore celebrating these branches of family and new life and feel so grateful to be invited in to these moments to document these amazing moments!!

What a stunning mom to be! If you have questions about when to schedule your maternity session, feel free to reach out! I typically aim to photograph maternity sessions one to two months prior to due date to ensure a nice round bump, a mobile mama and enough energy to get out before baby arrives.

Congrats to this lovely couple as they step into the next phase of their life as new parents!

These two….OMG I adored celebrating these two as they enter parenthood! We had a wild windy, amazing night and I freaked out adored this session as I edited it! Boulder Maternity Photographer heart burst with joy during this entire process. Some people are just meant to be clients and these two nailed it 100.

The springy Boulder mountainside maternity session grasses speaking directly to my heart here….

These two have been together most of their adult lives - it was such an honor to witness the love between them as they prepare to welcome their baby! Tell me this isn’t the face of a proud dad to be!!!

One Year Studio First Birthday session

Omg how cute is this gorgeous blue-eyed crew? The cuteness overload factor is strong here! Obsessed with the palette mom chose for their wardrobe intersecting the lovely neutral studio space. So thankful to be invited in to celebrate your sweet little ones as they grow and change.

The connection between siblings here just melted me to bits! This might be one of my fav family studio photos this year - the cuteness of the cuddle between brother and sister is just the sweetest thing ever!

I had to include this image bc we all chuckled as he toppled over. Tell me that little diaper booty isn’t the cutest little booty ever!

Denver Newborn Lifestyle Session: Welcome rory

Welcoming brand new family members is totally my jam and I was so honored to be invited in to celebrate with this stunning brand new family of five as they welcome their third baby boy!

Their oldest boy was so adamant about getting a photo with his new bestie little brother, just the two of them. As a Denver Newborn Lifestyle photographer, clearly I was totally here for it!

If you know me, you know that I will absoltley take photos of your pets during your newborn session! Thrilled to join this sweet fam - sending all the love to you and your handsome family!

Talk about a stunning sunset maternity session in front of the flatirons!!! These three live just down the street from me! I loved celebrating them as their family grows!!

We had such a stunning weather day after a reschedule due to snow! Don’t get me wrong, I love a snowy, mountainside maternity session (I drove around in it that morning wishing I had someone that wanted to shoot that day!!!) but the little guy likely wouldn’t have done well and the little spots of snow that remain made this spring green session so fun and so epically Colorado maternity session!! We were trying to get the soon to be big brother to touch or kiss mama’s bump aka the baby but he wasn’t overly interested. #toddlers lol

Dad was behind the camera for this shot making his little man giggle and smile. I love dads that know how to make their little one’s giggle. It’s first class dad status in my denver maternity photographer eyes. :)

Soooo much incredible, stunning goodness with this soon to be family of four! T fam, I adore you and I can’t wait to see your newly renovated home in a few short weeks!

Denver Sitting Milestone Baby Photos | Bonnie Brae Baby Photos

My third session with this lovely crew and I couldn’t be more excited to share our first session from their stunning home in Bonnie Brae. Not to mention how cute this little nugget is getting. Teeth, hair, cute smiles, these sitting milestone baby photo sessions make my Denver Baby Photographer heart totally swoon!

So hear me out….I find six to seven month baby photo sessions to be a better timeframe to photograph babies than newborns. I know those tiny little snuggles and celebration of the fact that they’ll never again be that small is wild special and I so honor its significance…AND find that babies that are sitting confidently are THE cutest stage ever!! They smile at anything and everything, they’re not fully mobile and mom and dad have had a chance to settle into their new lives as a family. Let’s be honest those first few weeks (and months!!) after a baby arrives are a whole thing! Mom feels more like herself, both parents feel more confident about being a family and OMG did i mention the cute smiles?!

If you know me, you definitely know that if there is a dog present for the session, it WILL be featured in its own photos! :)

Celebrating new life in Denver | Denver Newborn Photos

I met this sweet couple for their mountainside announcement maternity session and omg, I loved being invited into their Clayton Denver home with their fur babes! One of their pups may have stolen the show after Dad rightly called him a “main character personality” dog. I could not have loved it more! FYI - something you should know about how we do business around here - dogs welcome to steal the show at many points during the session. Cats, too! :)

I find that first born babies often resemble their Dad at birth but this little nugget had mama written all over him!

Remember that thing I said about dogs? Full exemplified here! :) Please invite me in to celebrate your parenthood journey if you have pets. I love to see their cute personalities shine!

Welcome to the world, baby J! You are so loved!
