Brittany turned 1! And graduated from babies to toddlers 🙂 It was so great to photograph this new stage in Brittany’s life and catch up with the family…

I got to find out that Britt is an extremely active and curious toddler! Her favorite foods are cheese and berries. Her favorite book is “Peek-A-Who”! (She loves to look at herself in the mirror at the end.) She loves it when Mommy and Daddy sing the ABC’s to her. She loves watching her favorite show “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.” Her favorite person is Mommy, but Daddy is right up there too! Britt LOVES animals in general, but is particularly fond of dogs and even knows how to say “woof, woof”! She also loves to play outside.

Britt was not quite walking at the time of the shoot, but is now full steam ahead! She is also learning to say a few words and signs.

At this age, her parents are the most proud of “her active and curious spirit! She is such a smart girl and is becoming very aware of the amazing world around her.

We LOVE to spend time together as a family! Our favorite activities include taking walks together, going to the park, going to the zoo, sharing meals together, and ‘play’ wrestling on the floor!”

 Mommy told me: “This session reflects on the beautiful and smart little girl that Britt is growing up to be. It also showcases the joy that we have found together as a family of three.”

Brittany’s mom shared: “I remember how my Mom saw your work at her doctor’s office and was very impressed!” …That is how our friendship started 🙂

“We decided to do the first year package to capture Britt’s first year on camera! Babies grow fast and we wanted to create a keepsake that would help us to remember the various stages and ‘looks’ Britt went through in her first year.

 You helped us create beautiful portraits that are creative, cute and will stand the test of time!

 We were thrilled to be able to use my husband’s police gear for one of the portraits. It’s a great way to honor the work that he does and made for really cute photos of Britt in the BIG shoes and hat that her father wears!

We also did a set with hearts to commemorate February, the month Brittany was born.

We were thrilled at Marina’s suggestion to use the same tree branch and beads from her newborn and 6-month photos to show how much she’s grown and have a common theme across all 3 sessions.

And finally, the smash cake photo was quite a treat for everyone! It was so fun to watch Britt try cake for the first time and we are so glad to have had the chance to capture professionally memories of this special moment.

We also appreciate how you were so patient with Britt and knew tricks to make her comfortable and happy during the sessions.

We LOVE the results! There are a lot of baby photographers out there, but you bring a unique creativity to the photos that makes them stand out.”

It was such a pleasure to meet and get to know this family! I am looking forward to watch Brittany grow up and this family to grow 🙂

Denver Newborn Baby Photography // Dana {7 days old}

 Denver Newborn Baby Photographer. Newborn Baby Photography in Denver, CO // Dana {7 days old}

Welcome Dana! Gorgeous 7 days old baby girl who was born to very creative parents 🙂 What is the better way to share with all of you about their session than their own words…: “We wanted to have pictures of Dana when she was just a newborn.  We were looking for pictures that were really adorable and cute that would help us remember how small she was at that age.

We chose Marina because looking at her images we noticed and liked how she focused on every little detail and made the child look amazing while the baby was asleep.  Plus, we loved her props and how unique they were.

I greatly appreciate how much Marina focuses on what the parents want.  During the preparation process she listened to my needs and appreciated my creativity.

Marina was extremely patient and understanding throughout the whole photo session. The session went smoothly even though Dana woke up many times throughout the session.  Marina was extremely patient during those moments when I was putting Dana to sleep, and she made sure she was ready for the next set. She made everyone feel comfortable and provided everything for the baby and us, parents.  She was easy to work with and was very organized and detail-oriented.  I’m glad her idea of perfection is the same as mine.

The session was very creative and reflected on my passion for the piano and my husband’s passion for his alma mater.I am very passionate about classical music. My life and world revolve around the piano and I wanted to showcase that in the photo shoot.  My husband is passionate about Texas University.  He loves burnt orange… go longhorns!

So I chose to use a toy piano for Dana because I am a pianist and wanted to showcase how small she was 7 days after she was born.  She fit right on top of a grand toy piano.  I chose to put her in a tutu with a headband to show the simplicity of a newborn baby.

Dana’s father decided to bring his Texas Longhorn helmet and flag to represent his school and his love for UT.

The other props and clothes (that Marina provided) we decided to use to expose the girly-ness and beauty of our baby girl.  We wanted to bring out the beauty of a newborn and show off how small she was by putting her in a hammock, on top of a piano, and in a bucket.
 We wanted the images to portray Dana’s beauty, her flexibility, how small she was at that time… Making her look like a cute baby girl was very important to us!”

Oksana looks so grown up! But she will always be my baby…my love…my life. Everything I do is because I have her, I plan everything around her and about her. Her happiness is my constant goal. She is getting more and more mature and asks challenging questions, makes interesting statements and clever remarks 🙂 I am enjoying every moment with her and soaking in every emotion and memory. We are a great  family and a team. Simple moments bring most joy and warm up my heart. It never changed, ever since I first met her 5 years ago and it will never change.  Enjoy being a witness of one of the happy ordinary moments in our life 🙂

Baby Lyla was 12 days old at her very first photo session. She was so sweet and beautiful and sleepy… I loved photographing her that day!
I was so excited to collaborate with the mother and create a surprise photograph for a father portraying their love for music. And it turned out beautiful! 
Enjoy!

Aiden and Tali are always so great to work with! They laugh, hug, make faces, tease each other, make mum proud, joke with dad and always make the best of the time together. Mom and dad are more in love with each other and their children than ever! I love and admire this family… Their children is their true treasure and they are growing up so balanced, knowing how much love means in this family!

I love that we were able to personalize this portrait session with their own bench which looked so great in the family portrait. This was one of the last warm autumn days and I am so happy we were able to catch that sun! Enjoy!

Westminster, CO Baby & Children Photographer. Children & Baby Photography in Westminster, CO // Twins {9 months old}

“… After my babies were born I almost rethought doing our newborn pictures.  Our first day home we found ourselves rushing to Children’s Hospital because one of our new twins had turned blue in the crib.  At that point all I could think of was how best to care for my babies.  I almost backed out of our session until Marina told me that she completely understood, but reminded me that this time will go by so fast and that we will not be able to do newborn portraits the way I had envisioned them if we waited.  I rethought my decision and brought my two babies on Oxygen to her warm cozy studio with lots of family to help.  We had an amazing and memorable time capturing the preciousness of our new baby girls.
My family still talks about that day and wishes to come to a future session.  Those shots are now priceless to us.  Needless to say, I could hardly wait for our next session to capture how much they did change.  Their cute personalities and demeanor.  I was confident, Marina could do it, and as always she surpassed any expectation that I had.

I chose Marina as our photographer after spending many many hours online looking other maternity and newborn photographers. Marina’s style which wasn’t trendy but classic and tasteful suited our needs and desires perfectly.

 

Marina never stops helping. She wants to help you plan to the last detail. She doesn’t wait for you to show up at the studio and try to make the best of what you show up with. She wants to plan with you to create the art that you are looking for in your family. The first time I filled out her questionnaire I did not understand why all of the details were necessary, but after our first session I got it. Most recently we emailed and texted back and forth about looks and clothing options for our intended shots. I couldn’t of done it without her because I am far from a stylist in my real life. We were looking for a classic look. We wanted out family shot to not speak to a decade through style. We wanted the same thing for our girls although we did have fun with some trendy things we happened to have in the closet. 😉

 

… Our babies laugh, smile and respond to us. They are able to crawl and interact with each other, it’s awesome to watch. This session reflected on how far we have come as a family from our newborn days. Our girls are amazing and fun and Marina captured that for us.

 

Marina exceeded all of my expectations for our family and our twin girls shots. Her planning and preparedness show in her work, and it certainly showed in our session. Marina makes it very difficult to limit the number of images you will want to save forever 🙂

 

Thank you Marina for your amazing work! It’s not easy, I know because I see how hard you work with just us, and I know you commit to every family the same way. We can’t wait to display our new photos! Thanks again!”  – that is what their mommy wanted me to share with you all! I appreciate those kind words more than anything!

 

I loved photographing these twins ! Beautiful, happy, glowing with energy with bright blue eyes – both girl have their own unique personality! Mommy shared:

“Our babies love food!  We love yogurt drops for snacks and anything Mommy packs in a pouch we love.  We read books everyday.  Our girls love flipping pages, pointing at objects and winding down while listening.”

Bella, the Labrador was so patient and a great listener, followed directions and calmly observed all of the hustle going on around her.

Their mama is so loving, patient and organized … I loved the interaction between mommy and daddy. I always admire their relationship and the way they are so patient and caring with each other and  the girls. Enjoy!

Westminster, CO Baby & Children Photography // Hudson {1 year old}

by

 

 

Baby Hudson turned 1! It was so great to witness him grow and change this first year. I always feel so grateful to be a part of my client’s lives and watch babies turn into toddlers, then preschoolers, then enter the kindergarten age. Hudson’s mom shared with me:

“We decided on the 1 year package in general because I know how much babies change in the first year. The first year is so jam-packed with LIFE that I wanted to know that no matter what, we had already put a plan in place to document the important milestones (birth, sitting, walking). A good friend of mine purchased the 1 year package for her first daughter. When we saw those pictures, we fell in love!”

And I, of course, adore this family and their love for each other, their patience and ability to plan and achieve great results. It was always so worry free with Hudson’s family. I always knew what they wanted because they were so open to communicate it to me! Hudson’s mom said:

 “I think what’s been most helpful is that I will send you the outline of my “plan” and then you give suggestions/tips on what will work the best.”

… I love to listen to people’s stories… Who they are and what do they enjoy…

“It was nice to have this session outdoors. We love to go on walks as a family and go to parks, Hudson LOVES to swing!!! Though he’s been a little slower at some of the milestones, we have really learned that it doesn’t matter and that he’s just his own person and will do everything at his own pace. That realization has brought a lot of peace to our household. What I am probably most proud of is that he really takes his time to observe his surroundings and take everything in before reacting. He’s already so observant and intuitive and I just love that it already shows us so much of his personality.

His favorite time of day is when Daddy comes home. The smile that comes across his face brings such light to my heart every time I see it. He also loves using Mama as a personal jungle gym (isn’t that supposed to be Daddy’s job?). 🙂

About getting ready for this session Hudson’s mom mentioned:

“This session was so much easier to prepare for since it was outside. No backdrops to pick out, so all we had to do was focus on the outfits, which I LOVE to do because of my background in retail. Well, I really wanted to focus to be on Hudson, so we tried to keep it as simple as possible. I love using the chairs because the focus is all on him, but still adds a little punch and interest to the photo. The balloons were a nice way to celebrate his birthday without doing a cake smash and dealing with all of the mess!

The one prop that mostly stands out for me is probably the tie that we used in the pictures. Hudson’s father wore that tie on our wedding day. I thought it would be really special to put Hudson in it and then when and if we ever have a girl, possibly do a picture of her in my wedding gown. 🙂

When I asked Hudson’s mom about how does she like the result of this 1 year long venture she said:

“It’s so funny.  No matter what the situation during the session, you always amaze us with fantastic photographs.  After Hudson’s rough 2nd session, I was so determined that we’d have a smooth 3rd session.  What do you know, we forget all of his outfits… 🙁  (The Dad had to save the day and drive to get the outfits).You are definitely talented in getting greats shots quickly and despite not the best circumstances, thank you!”

I am so happy and grateful to hear sincere praise from the families I get to work with! It means so much to me being loved and appreciated for staying consistent with the positive results my clients enjoy!
