As summer starts to turn into fall, the sunflower field is in bloom! Last year was my first offering family photos at this private sunflower field near Windsor, CO, and I am so excited to be heading back this year!

A collection of the best newborn photography of 2016 by Dear Kate Studios, Loveland and Fort Collins newborn photographer.
