Memorable Moments Storybook

– a little girl, her baby sister and one beautiful day at the newborn photo studio-

Are you a little worried how your toddler will do for your upcoming newborn photo session? Will they be scared? Will they behave? This storybook was made to help young children know what is coming and to ease any uncertainty. Cuddle up with your little one(s) and enjoy this story…

How this story came to be…

In early 2023, AI or Artificial intelligence is just starting to really take off. At this moment in time, we are not sure what it’s going to be used for in the future. The possibilities are endless. This New Horizon is so exciting. If this is what we can already do, where will we be in three years, five years? With this type of artificial intelligence, we are left with deciding what is ethically appropriate as far as giving credit where credit is due.

This storybook is my collaboration with AI. I provided the prompts and Chat-GPT filled in the story. The illustrator is also a form of artificial intelligence. I provided the storyboards in the form of photos. Then I put them in a program called Picsart to illustrate them. Without AI, this storybook would have just stayed as an idea.

Newborn, Family and Sibling Pictures | Windsor Colorado

Welcome to the newborn photo studio sweet Avyn!

Avyn recently came to my Windsor photo studio for his newborn pictures. He was absolutely amazing for me!

Fun Fact: Avyn was the first newborn I photographed at my new studio in Windsor!

The Rainbow Follows The Storm

Sweet Avyn is his family’s rainbow baby. A rainbow baby is a baby born after the loss of another child. I have two rainbow babies myself, so I know how incredibly special they are. I love how this quote describes the relationship between the storm and rainbow.

“The beauty of the rainbow does not negate the ravages of any storm. When a rainbow appears, it does not mean that the storm never happened or that we are not still dealing with its aftermath. It means that something beautiful and full of light has appeared in the midst of the darkness and clouds. Storm clouds may still hover, but the rainbow gives us color, energy and hope.” – Author Unknown

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

-Judy Garland

Newborn and Family Photos

I love photographing families with their new baby. There is just something special about creating the first family photos for parents. It never gets old. Seeing parents interact with their new baby is so sweet to watch.

One of the best parts of my job is getting to see newborns grow into older siblings! A little less than two years ago I had the privilege to meet this family, when they were only a family of 3.

Newborn and Sibling Photos

It’s so much fun to photographer older siblings with their new baby. You should have seen how sweet Avyn’s big sister was for the photos. She made it so easy for me to get the cutest sibling photos!

Parents often worry about how older siblings are going to do for photo sessions. Click on this link to read more about how to get amazing photos from those tricky toddlers and tiny newborns.

Thanks for coming into the newborn studio Avyn! I had so much fun taking your photos. What a great way to start sessions at my new studio!

Newborn Photo Sessions

Newborn Photographer Near Loveland | Hello Zael!

Last weekend Zael and his brothers visited me at my photo studio for his newborn photos. His photo session was extra special because I photographed his older brother in 2021. I love getting to see babies grow into the role as older sibling.

Do you have a newborn you need photographed?

I would love to work with you!

Here is a little behind the scenes before and after…

Newborn and Sibling Photos

With 3 boys of my own, I know just how incredibly special the bond between brothers can be. Getting to photograph these sweet moments always makes my day brighter. With these photos in their hands, I know that Zael’s parents will be able to look back and remember this day and all the beautiful details.

-There will be fights, tears, hugs, snuggles and above all else, LOVE. After all, they are brothers. –

Colors and Props Are Always Parent’s Choice

We ended up using two fun color schemes during his photo session. The first was full of warm green tones. Then cool teal tones rounded out the sibling and individual photos. My photo studio is fully stocked with many different colors and props to choose from. The first thing his parents did when they got to the studio was pick out the outfit and different wraps we used. Zael’s uncle picked out the teal background! I love standing back and letting the family pick out what we use. It makes every photo session unique.

Thanks for coming into the newborn studio Zael! I had the best time doing your photos.

Where To Get a Local Prenatal Ultrasound in Northern Colorado and the Denver Area

Fort Collins – Windsor – Erie – Westminster – Highlands Ranch

An Online Guide: Where to go and why you might want an Elective Prenatal Ultrasound

If you don’t already know me, I’m a Northern Colorado Newborn Photographer. I spend a lot of time talking about newborn photos… today I’m shifting my focus to the photos you can get of your baby before they are even born.

***As with anything that has to do with your pregnancy, you should talk to your doctor/midwife first! Make sure that it is safe for YOUR pregnancy and that there aren’t any further precautions you should take.

The Benefits of Elective Prenatal Ultrasounds

Nine months is a long time to wait to meet your sweet little one. Ultrasounds give you a small glimpse of your baby before you even get to hold them in your arms. Who wouldn’t love that? Maybe you got a chance to peek at that tiny little baby at your regular ultrasound visit that was scheduled by your doctor or midwife. But that is all it was, just a peek. You probably didn’t get to spend much time looking at all the tiny details. Sadly, those ultrasounds are speedy and to the point. Not to mention, conventional ultrasounds are often done in small, cramped and sterile rooms, making it hard for everyone to enjoy the moment.

Getting to see your baby’s face for the first time during an ultrasound is so exciting. It is a special moment that deserves to be shared with your loved ones in a warm and inviting space. Non-medical, elective ultrasounds give you the chance to really get to know your newest addition.

Where to get a Local Prenatal Ultrasound

You have been bonding since day one, even though you haven’t officially met yet. Are you ready to see your baby for the 1st, 2nd or 3rd time? Check out this list and schedule your elective prenatal ultrasound with one of these wonderful businesses.

When I started compiling this list, the first local Ultrasound website I found talked about how few elective ultrasound places there are in Northern Colorado. Boy, they were not joking! I decided to include a few Denver area locations as well. I imagine there are a few local ultrasound places I’ve missed that deserve to be on this list, and I am happy to add them. Let me know who/what I have missed!

The descriptions of the local ultrasound locations in this guide came directly from the websites that are listed. In other words, some of the wording in this guide came from the listed websites, not me.

Newborn Photographer in Northern Colorado |Introducing Norah

Welcome to the newborn photo studio sweet Norah!

Norah and her family recently visited me at my Northern Colorado Photo Studio for her newborn photos. Little Norah was amazing to photograph. Just take a look!

Do you have a newborn you need photographed?

I would love to work with you!

Fun Fact: Norah’s Mom and I are from the same hometown. We know a lot of the same people. All I can say is, it’s a really small world and I am from a really small town. It was so much fun getting to know Norah’s family.

Here is a little behind the scenes before and after…

Newborn and Family Photos

I love photographing families with their new baby. There is just something special about creating the first family photos for parents. It never gets old. Seeing parents interact with their new baby is so sweet to watch.

Newborn and Sibling Photos

These three have a very special bond. You can tell they all adore each other. I grew up with two older half-sisters, so I know how incredible these relationships are. From the moment they met, no matter the distance, they will be forever changed just by being sisters.

Thanks for coming into the newborn studio Norah! I had so much fun taking your photos.

Northern Colorado Newborn Photographer | Photos Make Memories Last

Welcome to my Northern Colorado Newborn Photo Studio Taylor!

Taylor recently came to my Loveland studio for his newborn photos. A lot of newborns sleep right through their newborn photo session. Not Taylor! Look at that eye contact. Newborns usually can’t see very far when they are so new. Typically, they won’t look at the camera and if they do their eyes are crossed or they are winking. I can’t get over how alert he looks for being so new.

Newborn and Sibling Photos

Look at these two! They both were so amazing. It is always so much fun to see how the older siblings are with their new baby. She clearly loves him so much!

These are definitely the kind of moments that we are going to look back at in 5, 10 or 20 years and wish we could have them back to relive again. Luckily, they will have these photos to make the memories more vivid and the details unforgettable.

“Your friends will come and go, but you will always have your siblings.” – Unknown

Big Sister Gets the Spotlight

One of the first things I learned when I met this family is, big sister was born during the lockdown for the pandemic. That means there were no photographers that were working when she was a newborn. She did not get to have newborn photos done. This was sad and disappointing for a lot of parents that had babies during that time. I know that there is no way to go back and fix this but giving her the spotlight for just a few minutes during her little brother’s session is a small start.

Newborns Change So Fast

If you are a parent, then you already know, babies change so much in so little time. It is simultaneously amazing and heart breaking to watch. You really only get to have a newborn for about 2 months. Photographing babies during this time means so much to me. I want parents to be able to look at their baby’s photos and remember what it felt like to hold that sweet little baby.

Newborn and Family Photos

There is just something special about creating the first family photos for parents. It never gets old. Seeing parents with their new baby is so fun to watch and photograph. I love that I get to be the storyteller for this brief, beautiful moment.

My favorite way to view photos is in a slideshow. Enjoy!

Thanks for coming into the newborn studio Taylor! I had the best time taking your photos.

Colorado Newborn and Family Photos | Baby Boy, You Are Loved

Welcome to the newborn photo studio Sullivan!

Sullivan recently came to my Loveland photo studio for his newborn photos. He was so good for me! I couldn’t have asked for a better newborn to photograph.

The day of Sullivan’s photo session, his parents weren’t sure about doing family photos. A long night with a new baby will do that to you! I am so glad that they went ahead and did the family photos anyways. Look at the pure joy and excitement from his parents. You can almost feel the emotion, just by looking at the photo.
