Do I Need To Be In The Pictures? | Denver Newborn Photographer

I adore photographing the joy that newborns bring to their families - which is the very reason why I think parents and siblings should be included in newborn sessions. The baby is the reason for the session, but it's also about so much more. 

Newborn Family Photography

Newborn sessions celebrate the excitement of an older sibling getting to know his baby brother. It's about the rejoicing of parents, and the new family they've formed - sometimes after great struggles. It's about new life, new families, and new dynamics.

Do you have old family photos from when you were a baby or child? Most of us do, and if you're like me, you love seeing what your parents and siblings looked like years ago. You may have even reached (or surpassed) the age your parents were when they had you. Isn't it incredible seeing your family members in the past - at the same stage in life as you now? This is why you need to be in your baby's newborn photos! 

As your children grow, they'll enjoy looking back at their baby pictures just as you do. They'll see the joy in your smile, the love in your arms, and the gentle way you kissed their forehead.

Nikki & Sedona | Denver, Colorado Motherhood Photographer

Motherhood Session on Film

These are the kinds of photos I want with Olivia as she grows older. They radiate joy and love, and without knowing Nikki and Sedona, you can tell that they have a special relationship. 

This session had been a dream of mine for quite a while, and I was thrilled with how everything came together. Nikki and I decided to  do her session in a clean, white, studio, so there wouldn't be any distractions in the end results. I just adore bright, white walls. 

We looked for a while to find the perfect dress, because honestly, how often do busy moms really get to dress up? Nikki found this gorgeous beaded gown at BHLDN and I fell in love immediately. I'm actually waiting for the perfect time when I can wear it for a motherhood session with Olivia. Ha! And I'm equally in love with Sedona's blue pinafore from Blythe & Reese Handmade. I really love supporting small businesses, and this one is special since it was started by a photographer friend of mine from Denver. The quality is incredible, and pinafores are so classic. 

"Now" is always a great time to take photos, and motherhood Sessions are a perfect reason to play dress-up with your daughter. Enjoy!

Welcome | Denver, CO Maternity, Newborn, Family Photographer | Georgia Motherhood Photographer

What a year it's been! After seven wonderful years in Colorado, this spring we moved back to our home state of Georgia. We miss Colorado terribly, but we decided to make the move so Olivia could be closer to her grandparents, aunts and uncles, and cousins. And she'll be getting her 11th cousin this winter!

Denver, Colorado Maternity, Newborn, and Family Photographer

An equally big change for me is the decision to shift my professional focus from wedding photography to maternity, newborn, and family photography - mostly on film. Although I still enjoy weddings, and I may return to them someday, my heart has shifted to everything motherhood and family.

It's not a coincidence that this shift happened after Olivia came into our lives. Motherhood has changed me. Before I really got the bug to have a child, I couldn't quite relate to the friends whose IG feeds became a gallery of their children (now I'm one of them). I thought it was funny how every parent was sure their child was the smartest, cutest, sweetest... but now I'm positive that Olivia is all of those things. My rose colored glasses aren't so shaded that I'm protected from her tantrums or hard days, and we're quickly approaching the stubborn "threenager" stage, but the struggle to have her makes me appreciate motherhood in a way I can't put into words. 

"For this child I prayed..." 1 Samuel 1:27

Infancy is gone in a flash. Toddlers become teenagers, and then all too soon they move out on their own. Then we'll be the mommas telling new parents how quickly it all goes by. Time slips through our fingers, but we hold onto the memories. 

I want to help you "remember when" and create heirloom portraits to share with your children and family as they grow. I can't wait to photograph all of the eagerly expecting mommas, newborn sweetness, and big family hugs that are brought my way!
