Judson slept like a rock star for his newborn pictures at my Loveland photography studio! I loved snuggling this tiny little boy while his mom and dad got to take a little rest on my studio sofa. Of course not until after their first family portrait. Can’t you just feel the love radiating off them? […]

You know that pregnant mom that looks like she’s smuggling a basketball under her shirt? Totally Katie! We had a little bit of a crazy evening for Derek and Katie’s maternity session in Fort Collins trying to wrangle their pups, Russ and Dakota. I was so happy to have a shot where they are both […]

Erin and I went to high school together and reconnected back in December when I took her little man’s newborn pictures at her home in Fort Collins. I was so delighted when she contacted me to photograph her whole family while her oldest brother was in town for Memorial Day. Not only did we get […]
