Mariah, 37 weeks |Denver, Co Maternity Photographer

I love it when a good friend asks me to photograph them. Mariah and Derek are some of my first friends in Colorado and they are expecting a little girl in just a few weeks. Our plans changed a little bit due to an afternoon thunderstorm and ate dinner first at Protos, my favorite.

After a delicious pizza, we headed out to capture their expanding family. Linus and Jasper were all too curious to what was going on with their parents.

If I can recommend one thing to do before the baby arrives, it is spoil yourself. Go out to dinner, get your toes painted, and see lots of movies!

Keep me posted! I can’t wait to meet her. Hugs.

Katie | Maternity Photography in Santa Fe, New Mexico

I met Katie in 2000 when we both worked at Outside. Back then our lives revolved around fresh powder and early morning trail running and now our lives revolve around our nap schedules and toddler music classes. Katie and I have been trying to schedule a family photography session in Santa Fe for awhile now. It all worked out this past weekend and it was goregous.

Katie is due at the end of June with number two and the maternity photography session started at Steve and Katie’s Santa Fe home capturing moments in the backyard with Gus, the chocolate lab. Then we explored the audubon center which is down Canyon Road. The dramatic New Mexican landscape with the fields of Chamisa, adobe walls, and rustic charm was beautiful to shoot. Can’t wait to go back.

Spring arrived again yesterday in Boulder, Colorado just after having snow on the ground on Thursday. Avery will turn three in May and will become a big sister in June was too much fun to photograph.

Can’t wait to meet the little sister in just six weeks.

Marilee + Dan | Lyons Maternity Photography

Marilee is an outstanding photographer in Lyons, Colorado and she is expecting her first baby in May. Being a photographer, she knew what she wanted and found the perfect meadow in Lyons minus the cacti. I loved how she wore Dan’s white button down shirt.

Can’t wait to meet your little boy in just a few weeks!

Alicia, 37 weeks | Longmont Maternity Photography

Alicia looked gorgeous at 37 weeks. Over the course of an hour, we moved furniture around, took art work off the walls, and made several outfit changes to make these photos. It was really fun to play and create.

Taking the time to capture this moment is something you will never regret because you will miss your belly once it is gone.

Sending you good wishes for labor and delivery!

Pregnancy is simply amazing. Looking at my own kids (3 and 10 months), I am baffled that they were ever inside my belly for 9 months. It changes your life forever and that is one of the many reason I love documenting this journey.

On Saturday, Tami and Michael invited me over to their beautiful Boulder home near Chautauqua to capture this precious moment for them. As an interior designer, Tami’s home was a perfect backdrop. We also wondered over to Chautauqua to play around on the muddy trails.

I can’t wait to meet their little girl at the end of April for her first photo session. Keep me posted!

Danielle • Boulder Maternity Photography

I love photographing friends and Danielle was one of my very first friends in Boulder. A chatty cathy like myself and a lover of happy hour, we became fast friends over cheap wine. One of the many reasons I love D is her flexibility and williness to try and do just about anything. When I asked her to hike a snowy slope because the light and the view would be perfect, she did not hestitate. What a trooper at 35 weeks pregnant! I also love the fact that she is having her photos taken almost naked while Jake is wrapped up in a toasty blanket.

Can’t wait to meet Ella and to capture her in the early moments of her life. Hugs.
