Miss Emilie | Denver Baby Photography

If I had to pick a favorite age, it would be 6-12 months.  Don’t get me wrong.  I LOVE newborns.  But I’d say I equally love photographing babies between 6 and 12 months because their little personalities just shine through.  And as a mom, this is when things started to get more fun and a little easier.  They smile easily and who doesn’t love some chubby baby legs?  Remember the amazing photographer, Jessica, who took OUR family photos?  Here is a peek at her little girl.  Isn’t she to die for?  What a perfect little round head and the most gorgeous blue eyes.

This family is so dear to me.  Emily and I just “get” each other.  We were introduced thru our fabulous hair stylist Hayley who we both adore.  I photographed Mr. Jackson when he was still in Emily’s belly and again after he was born for his newborn photos.  And countless times in between.  Jackson even shares a Nanny with our girls.  I love that they will grow up together.

Here are a few photos from Jackson’s one-year session.  We had this lovely location picked out and gorgeous light.  And then Jackson saw the Playground in the distance.  As you can see below, he would not take no for an answer, so this session ended up with a last minute location change.  They completely capture him in his element and I love that we were able to document that.

OUR Family Photos | Denver Family Photographer | Golden Colorado

Wow.  As a photographer, I am embarrassed to say that it has been over three years since we have had our own family photos made.  I’m not even sure that more than 3 total pictures of the 4 of us even exists!   And mom in the photo?  Super rare since, ya know, I’m the photographer.

Well, I’ve found an amazing group of women photographers this year so I thought I’d throw an idea out there: I’ll take your photos, you take mine!  Jessica and I decided to trade and I couldn’t be more excited to have them!  And I can’t wait to photograph her little family in a couple of weeks.

Here are some from our little session.  This totally captures where we are at in life.  There is not one picture of us all looking.  Heck, Linley even covers her eyes at the sight of a camera.  But I just adore them.  So pardon my inability to choose favorites.

Ainsley | Denver Newborn Photographer | Golden Colorado

Here is sweet Ainsley Eva Grayce.  She is the precious little girl of my friend, Jenne.  She weighed in at 6 pounds 3 ounces at birth.  However, after struggling with getting her bilirubin levels down, she landed back in the hospital, thus delaying her newborn session!  While under 10 days is ideal for newborn photos, here is proof that it is not absolutely necessary.  Older babies just require a bit more patience, dedication, and an adjustment in expectations.  Miss Ainsley is nearly a month old in these photos.  But her Mama still got the newborn photos she so wanted!
