Beautiful kiddos, fun and exciting holiday photos this 2015 holiday season!
What an amazing, beautiful and fun studio photography session with such a cheerful and gorgeous little girl! Happy Birthday Nora!!!!
We had such a great time having fun altogether… Hugs, cuddles, kisses, frowns, tickles & tackles… we had it all that evening! In addition to all the fun, I absolutely loved the choice of outfits and truly appreciated all the effort this family put into getting ready for this family photography session such a lovely evening in sunny Broomfield, CO! Enjoy!
Shay is gorgeous as always! She is such a pleasure to photograph… True beauty, amazing soul!
Welcome Levi! His loving and beautiful family now is feeling even more happy and content with Levi’s arrival 🙂 Here is what Levi’s mommy shared with me:
“…I wanted to capture my son as a newborn. Within six weeks he doubled in size (weight and length). All I have left of that special stage in his life are these beautiful photos. These photos represent innocence, a new beginning, life changes and love. I will never have him at that stage again; it lasted for only so long. I fully regret not doing the same for my first child.
When I first met you, at that promotional photo event, my daughter was getting her photos taken and I was about 7 months pregnant. You brought some of your professional work with you. Looking at them, I knew that I would not pass up a chance to capture my second child as a newborn.
You helped me prepare for this session tremendously by meeting with my husband and I ahead of time. When we met about a month before my son’s due date, we went over the costs and discussed expectations of the photo shoot on both our ends (ie: when to arrive, how long the session will take, the different poses we will use, props to accessorize the shoot, etc.). We wanted to capture the feeling. So when we started choosing the props, we chose what felt right and what came to us.
We also saved dates in the calendar. I was relieved to know that we didn’t just save one date. Rather you saved about a week in your schedule. This was done so that after the baby was born we had some flexibility on when to have the session. The calendar block helped out a lot because not only did I need a little more time to heal from the delivery post hospital stay, my husband was working and his schedule wasn’t as flexible.
And now, I am so pleased with the results. The photos are sharp and clear. The props used and the way the baby was positioned in the photos look timeless. The photos remind me of how far we have come and how precious those moments were; the purpose of taking these photos was fulfilled.
This session reflects on innocence, the early stages of my baby’s life, the sweet moments I had alone with him postpartum, the wonderful changes in our family’s life, and a new love.
I am proud that my baby was healthy and thriving at that age; that was the most important thing to me. Now at a little over 2 months, he lifts his head up, he can recognize faces, he is cooing and cawing, and he is finally sleeping long hours at night (almost 6 hours!).
We didn’t quite get ready for the session. I had an outfit for my daughter to wear for the “sibling” part and my husband and I cleaned up (showered, did our hair, applied very little makeup). We wanted the inspiration to come to us in the moment. I am not one to prepare every single detail as it takes away from the natural feeling of taking photos. In the end, the results were perfect. The portraits turned out easy-going, relaxed, spontaneous; it captured a beautiful feeling and a beautiful moment.”
This family is special to me! I watched Nora grow up and the family grow… I truly enjoyed getting to know their family and becoming friends over the years. I can’t express how much I love, appreciate and value our relationship! The birth of baby Christian is another chapter that I am so excited about 🙂
Here is what Christian’s and Nora’s mom wanted me to share with you…
“We did a newborn photo session with our daughter so it felt right to do it for her brother too. When its your second go round you know how quickly they grow so we wanted to have portraits to remember the early days with our sweet baby boy.
And I LOVE the result of this session! Our family portrait is lovely and the images of Christian with his sister and dad are heartwarming. I really had a tough time picking my must-have images. The ones of him and his sister will forever remind me of the sheer love she has for him. Theres not a day that goes by that she doesn’t express how much she loves him! Its the best!
Christian loves to sleep! (Boy are we thankful for that) When he is awake he enjoys cooing and smiling. Often times he refuses to eat because he wants to chat. 🙂
I loved this session with Nora and her parents just as much as I had enjoyed each and every session with this family! These 2 amazing parents instill happiness that Nora radiates into the world! I am blessed to watch this family grow for 3 years now… and I Love them to pieces!
Here is what Nora’s mom had emailed me to share with you all…
“…Nora has a deep love for reading and being read to. She loves all things animals with hippos and horses being her favorite animals at the moment. Lately she’s into playing dress up and putting together puzzles. Thanks to our most recent vacation, she now has a deep love for donuts!
Nora’s vocabulary is continuously growing. Everyday she surprises us by putting more words into sentences! It’s a joy to listen to her. Physically she loves to jump, spin, toss and catch. One of her great accomplishments right now is potty training even though we haven’t completely mastered it, she insists on doing things all on her own. We love that she is so eager to learn and is usually willing to try things at least once. Dad and I couldn’t be prouder of this precocious, independent girl!
As a family we love to travel, read together at bedtime, ride bikes, go for walks in our neighborhood or to the park. Enjoying dinner at the table every evening is a must for us as we like to share each others day.
And of course we choose to continue to use you as our photographer because of your ability to capture raw emotion in your images. Your always willing to do what it takes to make our entire family feel comfortable in front of the camera. Of course your patience with Nora has always been remarkable. You always make her feel at ease!
..I was hesitant about the outcome due to the dreary weather that day but was pleasantly surprised that the weather had no impact on our session. Once again your images didn’t disappoint! Our portraits are beautiful!
This session reflects on the connection we share as a family along with our individual relationships with Nora. Although Nora shares a different connection with me than that of her father, both are very important in shaping her as well as our family.
I wanted to capture the final weeks of my pregnancy along with our final days as a family of three. I wanted images that I could look back on to remind me of when it was just the three of us. A time when Nora taught us so much by making us parents.”
I truly appreciate to know that my clients not only respect and admire my work and what I do for them before, during and after our children photography sessions, but also are grateful for my talent! I can’t say it better than this mom’s review …
“This was the second photo session I did with Marina Lower. Just like the first, Marina exceeded my expectations and provided images that brought tears to my eyes. Marina is incredibly detail-oriented and made both me and my 3-year-old daughter feel comfortable in front of the lens. My daughter is a very high-energy, easily-distracted toddler and Marina was able to capture Raegan’s fun-loving spirit while she explored the location. On top of that, Marina captured the connection I have with my daughter in ways that I have never seen. I am forever grateful for Marina and the talented photographer she is. She has captured invaluable memories that my family and I will be able to marvel at for the rest of our lives. There is no one else like her in the business. Thank you, a million times over, Marina!”
