  FALL 2018 MINI SESSIONS AVAILABLE HERE     fort collins mini sessions The days are still hot but we are starting to get that occassional cool down that signals summer is coming to an end. Pumpkins are growing in my yard, school supplies are on the shelves (and Chirstmas trees too, what?!) and the […]

I firmly believe that babies have a mind of their own as to when and how they should come into the world. That’s part of the reason I only take a coupld of newborn sessions a month. You just don’t know when a baby will come early or be 2 weeks past due. Brody was […]

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 […]

Evelyn was due mid-January but had plans of her own! When her mama went into labor on December 31st, the already decided nickname of Evie became even more appropriate! She was born in the very early hours of 2013 and was the first baby girl of the New Year born at Poudre Valley Hospital. When […]
