Balancing Work and Recovery: Announcement

April 3, 2023

As a photographer, balancing work and recovery sometimes life throws unexpected curveballs, and recently, I had to take some time off from photography sessions due to surgery. It was definitely a challenge balancing my personal obligations and work responsibilities during this time, and I had to limit my availability.

The good news is, I’ve fully recovered from my surgery and am now back to scheduling photo sessions. While it was hard taking some time off, I knew I had to prioritize my health and well-being so that I could come back and continue providing excellent customer service without compromising the quality of my work.

Thank you all so much for your patience and understanding. I can’t wait to spend time capturing your memories this year.

I love lifestyle sessions for newborns and families. They capture real emotions and interactions in everyday life, at home or in a special location. For newborn sessions, I capture the tender moments between the baby and family. For families with young children, lifestyle sessions work well because they allow for movement and interaction. Instead of posing, I let children be themselves. These sessions document the joy and energy of childhood, creating special memories for families to treasure.

Please feel free to look at my galleries for lifestyle session ideas here and here.

Arches National Park Photography

Arches National Park in eastern Utah is a destination of otherworldly beauty and a dream for any photographer. Covering over 76,000 acres, the park boasts over 2,000 natural sandstone arches, the result of millions of years of geological activity that created some of the most spectacular rock formations on the planet.

One of the park’s most famous arches is the Delicate Arch. This 65-foot-tall freestanding arch is a popular spot for photographers, especially during the golden hour, when the arch glows with a warm, orange hue. Additionally, to capture the perfect shot, photographers need to hike a 3-mile trail that gains 480 feet in elevation.

Another popular arch in the park is the Landscape Arch. Consequently, the longest natural arch in the park and one of the longest in the world. Photographers can capture the soft, warm light on the arch and the surrounding landscape during the early morning.

For those seeking panoramic shots, the Windows Section offers stunning views of the North and South Windows and Turret Arch. Meanwhile, the Fiery Furnace area presents a maze of sandstone canyons, perfect for adventurous photographers.

Regardless of your preferred type of photography, Arches National Park has something to offer. With its sweeping panoramas and delicate close-ups of the park’s unique geology, it’s no wonder why the park has become a favorite destination for landscape photographers from around the world.

I just wanted to share some of my images from my time there. I certainly hope that you enjoy my Arches National Park photography. Please feel free to post a comment or ask a question. Here is a link to find more information about the park: https://www.nps.gov/arch/index.htm

Introductory Offer – Lifestyle Newborn Sessions Broomfield

November 12, 2019December 30, 2019

INTRODUCTORY OFFER BROOMFIELD COLORADO AND SURROUNDING AREAS

Hi! I’m new here in Colorado! I thought I would introduce myself by offering a special price for lifestyle newborn sessions. If you are a fun and easy-going family and are welcoming a new little one into your home, a lifestyle newborn session might be what you are looking for!

Lifestyle newborn sessions are the perfect way to capture your new baby in your home naturally. Often it is difficult to schedule a posed studio session within the typical 10 days after the baby is born. Lifestyle newborn sessions take place in your own home at around 4 weeks after birth. This allows you to get images in your new nursery, with pets & siblings, etc. During these sessions, we will capture your family in a way that you can look back on and remember how you really were. Siblings do great in this situation as well, allowing us to capture authentic moments. No posing (either of the baby or family) is done in-home, just some simple direction, which allows for natural connection and interaction to occur.

Please send the following information to [email protected]

-Your baby’s birthdate (or your due date if baby hasn’t arrived yet)
-Where you live
-Tell me a little about your family
-Tell me a little about your home and include a few cell phone photos of your home taken during morning hours around 10 am (nursery, master bedroom, living room or other room with great natural light).

The baby should be approximately 4 weeks old by the date of the session. Model release required so that I may share a few images of your baby to advertise my business. Sessions take place in the morning around 10 am.

The session is will be up to 2 hours and includes 25 high resolution retouched digital images of your choice. You will be able to view your gallery online, choose your images for download. Payment is not due until you download your images. Please email me if you have any questions or would like to book a session. Sessions available Mon-Sat.

I also offer other photography products such as prints, canvases, albums, etc. If interested, just let me know! Some of the popular products I offer can be seen here!

And as a bonus…I also make handmade newborn outfits for photo sessions! I will be able to use my outfits for your session if you would like. If there is time and you would like to request a certain color that I may not have, we can customize something in time for your session. Want to keep the outfit as a keepsake? No problem. Get 20% off any outfit(s) we use that you want to keep. You can see samples in my Etsy shop!
