Maternity Portrait Photographer | Brandi and Sam | Colorado

Brandi and Sam are expecting a baby girl next month!  It was so nice to meet them and see how excited they are to meet their little one!

Try not to be too jealous, but this is their neighborhood.  Gorgeous!

Brandi and Sam are so cute and in love!

Glowing mom alert!

A couple of inside shots…

Sam had done some awesome location scouting before the shoot and it was his idea to finish off their shoot on their deck.  Brilliant!

Thanks for a wonderful shoot, Brandi and Sam!  It was so much fun to meet you!

Colorado Springs Maternity Portraits: Baby Makes 5!

I wasn’t quite sure that Sheri’s maternity shoot would actually be a maternity session and not a newborn portrait shoot because it was scheduled for the day after her due date, but low and behold, Thursday evening had us photographing her belly.  (I hope this preview finds her with a baby instead of a belly!)

They have two excited helpers ready to be a big brother and sister!

long time, no post

This is turning into the kind of blog I hate–the rarely updated, no photo kinda blog. Well, I just can’t let that happen.

Here’s what’s going on around here:

- First snow of the season on Sunday. “Woo-hoo!” as my son would say (Nic taught him to say that whenever it’s cold.)

- I have some very exciting things coming in the mail that will ensure that this blog gets the attention it deserves. I’d share the news, but that would ruin the surprise.

- I am watching Chuck while I type. Hence the spelling errors (if there are any). I am loving the new fall tv line-up. Chuck and Life are the absolute best. Journeyman, Bionic Woman, and The Next Iron Chef also get my vote. But if you aren’t watching Chuck or Life, you need to start.

And last, but not least, new photos from a new session!

welcome to the world, elizabeth!

Little Elizabeth was born Friday morning and weighed in at 7lbs, 13oz. Her parents had me come over Sunday, when she was just two days old! In fact, they’d only been home from the hospital for an hour or two when I arrived! Just a couple of weeks ago, this tiny thing looked like a bump on her mom’s belly:

It was an honor to get to spend part of Elizabeth’s third day with them. What a sweet angel she is–tons and tons of thick black hair, and lots of sweet little newborn noises. She has many out of town admirers, so I wanted to quickly post one of my favorite photos. She smiled for us a few times, and this was one of the bigger smiles!

We made some good memories–I hadn’t even fired off a frame before naked Elizabeth pooped all over her dad’s arm. While we were cleaning him up, she peed on her mom…and then as we cleaned that up, she pooped on her, too! We laughed a lot, and then got back to our photos.

a little one

Remember this belly?

This little girl came out of it! :D

I couldn’t believe that she still had her cord at three weeks old! She is a precious little thing and completely adored by her big brother…who threw quite a temper tantrum whenever his mom took his baby sister out of his arms! She will be well loved, that is for sure!
