Outdoor newborn family session | Westminster Colorado

I get excited every year when the weather gets warm because while I can offer beautiful outdoor sessions all year for families and maternity, newborn sessions can only be done fully outdoors during the warmer months.

This family not only chose me to do one of my favorite types of sessions for them but also allowed me to style them with items from my collection. Initially we were going to have dad in a light blue shirt but he really wanted to wear the maroon shirt. I was glad I had the perfect maroon wrap for baby to tie the look together. Moms gown, jewelry, the girls dresses and the floral crowns/headbands were all from my collection as well. In the end I was glad he decided to wear his maroon shirt as these colors looked beautiful together.

I would love to photograph your family! My sessions include hair and makeup for mom, use of my gowns and kids clothes and help styling your session. Contact me today for a free consultation.

You should do this every year for your child's birthday! {Denver Kids Photography}

There is only one birthday tradition in our family that is more sacred than the birthday party, and that is the birthday portrait. Portraits of me that were not taken at school were more rare than birthday parties, so every year, at very least once a year but typically a few times, my kids get a new portrait.

Birthday’s in my house are a big deal. As a December baby who never had more than a few good friends at a time birthday parties when I was a kid were rare. It was hard being so close to the holidays and since I didn’t have a million friends to invite my chances of getting more than one kid, typically my best friend, to even show to a party was rare. So when my first born joined this earth the day before my birthday and 6 days before Christmas I swore that he would never go without a party, even if that party was our family and a few really good friends.

There is only one birthday tradition in our family that is more sacred than the birthday party, and that is the birthday portrait. Portraits of me that were not taken at school were more rare than birthday parties and lets face it that assembly line photography done on school portrait day does not typically show your best side. So every year, at very least once a year but typically a few times, my kids get a new portrait. Sometimes they are just traditional portraits, and sometimes they are birthday themed with balloons and decorations, and sometimes I go crazy and plan a shoot around their birthday party theme like this mermaid shoot I did for my 6 year old’s birthday session, it doesn’t matter much the type of portraits so much as documenting their lives as they grow and change.

Best time of year for this location: 

Most of this location’s best features like the barn, ponds, bridge, old buildings, rock formations, and mountain views will not change much from season to season making this a great location any time of year! I first used this location in the fall so it had the added beauty of the fall leaves however this location has so much going for it it would be beautiful even in the dead of winter.

Best time of day for this location: 

I always recommend sunset to my clients for the best light however this location do have the barn and some trees that would provide shade earlier in the day so it could be used other times if needed.  

Parking: 

There is a small parking lot near the barn where I will meet clients at this location however it can fill up quickly so if needed there is a larger parking lot just up the hill that can be used.

Family friendliness:

This is a great spot for family sessions, with open fields it is a safe fun place for kids to roam. There is also the added benefit of a playground at the other end of the park, easy to get to after the session but out of sight while we are taking photos!
