Best time of day for family photos | why mornings are my favorite

family photography sessions

What is the best time of day for family photos? I definitely don’t suggest mid-morning sessions to clients because I like waking up early.  Until a few years ago I was a night owl and my most productive hours were between 8 pm and 2 am.  It was also a miracle if I got out […]

Photos with your grandparents – Boulder Family Photography

photos-with-your-grandparents

at-home session

Don’t you wish you had more photos with your grandparents? I can’t tell you how absolutely GIDDY I get when my clients schedule a session to include a visit from the grandparents.

The difference between a newborn photography session for your first child and your second is staggering.  […]

For the other side of my business, I taught my Documenting Parenthood Virtual Retreat AND got announced as a teacher for The Family […]

Broomfield Family Photography. The pandemic delayed this little one’s session by almost 2 months, but that just gave him time to get even cuter!  I am happy we were able to do this session before their big move.  They may have brought him home to Wildflower Street, but they recently purchased their forever home.  I […]
