This is Lila. Tiny. Sweet. Beautiful.
And a story. Because I’m still in awe at this small world we live in.
Lila’s mom is Erika, the owner, baker, and mastermind behind the delectable bakery in the Highlands called Living the Sweet Life. Erika and I met for the first time this summer when we happened to be working together at Lauren & Rian’s Chatfield Botanic Gardens wedding.
And this is where the ‘small world’ comes in..
Because when she introduced herself, Erika told me about her man JP – the same JP who happens to be a long lost dear friend of mine from days of yore, back from those years spent gallivanting around the globe. I met JP while living and working in Switzerland, in the tiny alpine village of Crans-Montana, where I worked for 8(!) summers (JP was there for two of them) It is a place that is so important to me, and the friendships formed during those years hold a special place in my heart. So to be able to reconnect in this circuitous manner is incredible. I’m still in awe. And honored to have the opportunity to photograph their newborn baby girl.
A few of my favorites from our session..
My warmest congratulations to this sweet family. Living the sweet sweet life. ♥
For portrait sessions I typically shoot outdoors – I love natural light and being able to use our beautiful state of Colorado as my backdrop.. But occasionally an opportunity arises to do work in the studio, so I get to transform my little boutique in Wash Park into a portrait studio and work outside of my comfort zone. It’s a different kind of experience, allowing me to shoot clean, beautiful portraits – keeping my background simple and really allowing these little personalities to shine.
A few more from my recent newborn portrait session of baby Savannah – I can’t get over how absolutely adorable she is! I’ve been Josh and Alissa’s photographer for several years now, documenting many of their milestone moments – 
My warmest congratulations to the three of you!!
Just a sneak peek from Alissa & Josh’s recent session with their brand new baby girl! I just love this sweet family – and baby Savannah is such joy. Just a tease for now, my friends – more soon, I promise!
I love working with children.. I love their energy, their playfulness, their curiosity. And I love being able to capture this slice of life which, as all parents know, can be so fleeting. It is particularly wonderful when I have the opportunity to work with the same family year after year – as is the case with the M family – what a pleasure to document these kids as they grow from babies to toddlers to boys.
