Rock the Shot January 2014 Photo Challenge

January 10, 2014

This month’s photo challenge over at Rock The Shot (www.rocktheshotforum.com) was ‘Favorite Shot of 2013’. It was really hard deciding but this is my favorite image of this past year! Every year, I do a little photo session each each of my kids for their birthday. My daughter was turning 7 this year. She loves long dresses, flowers, and feeling like a princess! The dress is from Dollcake Oh-So-girly, whom I adore!

This image was shot on a Nikon D600 with a 50mm prime. Settings were as follows: ISO 200, f/2.5, SS 1/200.

It’s always an honor when families book the year long milestone package. These were the sweetest newborn photos, and I’m so excited to capture their 6-month milestone session next.

Milestone packages are some of my most popular because they take the stress out of planning all your sessions. You get booked for the entire year, so you won’t miss any of those special moments—from maternity to first birthday.

If you’re expecting and want to learn more about this offering, reach out! I’d love to help you capture every stage of your journey.

Do you prefer the color or black and white version?

I personally love the fall colors from this session, but there’s something so timeless about black and white. It really freezes the moment In time!

This family has been with me since I opened my studio in Centennial, CO, and it’s always such a joy seeing them year after year. I love switching things up between studio sessions and outdoor sessions, and I’m endlessly grateful for families who continue to come back.

Both outfits are from my client closet!

I love capturing moments like this!

I will always guide you with posing, but I want sessions to feel natural and easy.
Think of it like a little family play date with lots of movement, laughter, and space for kids to be themselves while I capture what it really feels like.

Family sessions are about capturing what your life actually looks like — the giggles, the little quirks, and yes, the dog too!

Pets are always welcome because they’re family!

Outdoor sessions are relaxed, playful, and designed so everyone can just be themselves. It’s all about creating photos that feel fun, natural, and full of personality.
