Colorado Springs Newborn Photographer | Photo of the Day for Saturday, February 21, 2009
I think I took this one about a year-and-a-half ago. Look at that sweet, sweet face! As with many of my newborn photos, the parents brought in the props. I like how the basket helps provide scale to help show just how small she was.

Colorado Springs Newborn Photographer | Photo of the Day for Thursday, February 19, 2009
I know this image has been on the front screen of my website for a while, but I wanted to feature it as my photo of the day so I could talk about it. This is an example of an image that was created at the child's home rather than at my studio. When I photograph at a client's home, I spend a lot of time walking around looking for the best lighting and interesting props. I found this bookshelf in the big sister's room. We unloaded all the books and dragged it into another room where the light was better. Then I hunted all around for cute items that I could use that would all go together. The mom found the blocks so we could spell out the baby's name. I love the balance of all the soft colors. I created the image by window light. The baby is on the bottom shelf for safety. I've noticed that many people don't even see the baby when they glance at the image!Wednesday, February 18, 2009

This is my favorite background for creating portraits of little girls in fancy dresses. I used more subdued antique-like tones in this image. I love images of little girls in big puffy skirts like this one. Tuesday, February 17, 2009

How fun to capture some of a child's first steps like this. This little guy came in last month in honor of turning one.I offer a special session for one-year-old birthdays. It is $125, and includes a 45-minute session on the white background, along with an 8x10 and 2 5x7's of your single favorite image from the session. You can also bring a cake and do some funny birthday cake shots during that session if you wish.

This sweet nine-day-old baby girl was in my studio earlier this week. She was born a little early, so I took this photo ten days before her due date!Thursday, February 12, 2009

I think this is one of the more unique and interesting shots I've done over the years. I call it "Just Hatched." Since entering it in print competition with the Professional Photographers of America (PPA) I've seen it duplicated by other photographers, and have even been told that it was going to be featured on the Photovision DVD's. I didn't ever post this image online before entering it in competition because I didn't want anyone else to beat me to the punch with the idea. The parents had told me that they were going to be bringing in the mom's belly cast from her pregnancy, and I spent some time looking for ideas online, but came up short on good ideas. The dad, I believe, had the idea of nailing the belly cast to the table, so that's what we did -- put down the black cloth, put the belly cast on top of that, and then nailed it down so that it would stay upright. I lit it from the side and from the back to give it more dimension and to preserve the texture of the belly cast. Straight-on lighting would have washed out all the texture. It's sort of a maternity and newborn shot all in one!Colorado Springs Baby Photographer

Another happy kid being a little silly, having fun. I think the higher camera angle adds something to the shot as well.Professional Photographer Colorado Springs

Just for fun, here is a shot of the very first child I used as a guinea pig when I got it in my head that I was going to be a professional children's photographer. She brought him over to my little make-shift studio in my dining room a couple times and I took a whole bunch of shots. This was back in the film days, when it was more important to make each shot count, because it was going to cost you! He wandered over to the window and he looked so cute there that I took a few shots and the mom was like "don't waste the film!" because he wasn't in front of the background, but somehow this particular shot turned out to be so magical. I'm sure that the encouragement of this particular mom and the success of this one shot played a large role in inspiring and motivating me to continue as a photographer. The background is the trees in my backyard behind the window.
I still love this shot so much, and have it hanging in my studio.

Another amazing little newborn! Under 3 weeks is best for these sessions because they stay asleep better and are easier to position. A shot like this looks like it's a piece of cake, but it can take hours of waiting for the baby to fall asleep in this position. Well worth the wait, though, to capture such perfection.Professional Photographer Colorado Springs

Here's a cute shot of some little guys who I just adore. I know I've said it before, but I really like the bright colors against the white background.

I had the honor of photographing this sweet little beauty two days ago. She was just 5 lbs., 10 oz. at birth, and was at about 6 lbs., 2 oz. when I took this shot. I like to photograph newborns before they are 3 weeks old to get that true newborn look. This little one was 19 days old, but since she was a little early I photographed her on her due date!Colorado Springs newborn photographer

Here's a cute expecting couple who I photographed earlier this week. While most of my maternity photos have the mom's belly exposed, I think it can also be nice to have shots in regular clothes. These are the type of photos that one would be more comfortable sharing with the great-grandparents, for example, and this is how most people will see a woman during her pregnancy. Just something to consider if you are in the market for pregnancy photos.Colorado Springs maternity photographer

Just an oldie but goodie. This is the baby of one of my good buddies. And she's not quite a baby anymore. It just happens to be one of my favorite shots.
