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.

Newborn Photo Studio in Windsor, Colorado – Grand Opening!

March 1, 2023March 23, 2023 megangrovephotography

I am going to be celebrating the Grand Opening for my Windsor photo studio the whole month of March 2023. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the new studio than giving back to the community.

I am so excited to announce that $50 from every session scheduled during March will go to Stork Support of Northern Colorado!

The sessions DO NOT have to take place in March; however, the contract must be signed, and nonrefundable session fee paid before your session can be put on the schedule. I know this sounds a little confusing so I’m going to put it another way. Even if your baby is due in July, if you schedule your session now (March 2023), $50 of your session fee will be donated to Stork Support of Northern Colorado.

Are you ready to schedule your newborn photo session?

I would love to work with you!

An Online Guide to Trouble Free Toddler and Newborn Photos

August 23, 2022March 23, 2023 megangrovephotography

Trouble Free Toddler and Newborn Photos

Free Guide for Parents and Newborn Photographers

Fast, Fresh and Friendly- It’s not just Hot Dog on a Stick’s motto, it’s also the 3 F’s of trouble-free toddler and newborn photos. I know you are curious… Yes, I worked at a Hot Dog on a Stick when I was a kid. Funny hat and all! That is a story for another day though.

Parents often worry about how older siblings are going to do for photo sessions. Let’s dive in to the 3 F’s of toddler and newborn photography so we can get amazing photos from those tricky toddlers and tiny newborns.

Fast

I’m sure it’s no surprise to you, that toddlers can have tiny attention spans at times. They can go from having fun, to total melt down in a matter of moments. That is why it is so important to move fast when photographing toddlers. As soon as you have the image you were after, it’s time to move on to the next set.

I find it is very important to give the older siblings a break while you are safely getting the newborn ready for the next pose. It is kind of like an on off switch. When the switch is off, you can safely pose the newborn while the parents are keeping an eye on their older sibling. When the switch is on it is time to MOVE. Get that toddler close but with safety in mind.

Fresh

Keeping things interesting and always changing is super important when photographing toddlers. This can be as simple as changing the pose or switching tools. Tools? Peek-a-boo, bubbles, tickle flower, flying monkeys, toys from home, there are so many things that can be used to make the photos interesting for older siblings. At my photo studio, I have Waldo the reindeer. He is a festive fella that squeaks. He knows the funniest tricks! Even on the best of days, Waldo is only funny for a little while. When it stops being funny, that is when I know it is time to try another tool/trick. Keeping things always changing will make for interested toddlers.

Friendly

Keeping things friendly and light is probably the most important part of doing newborn and toddler photos. Toddlers and babies are incredible and can sense different feelings in the room. They can feel stress, frustration and anger. Luckily, they can also feel excitement, happiness and love. Let’s talk about the different ways to keeps the session light and friendly.

We all know how excited everyone one is to meet the new baby; I make sure the toddler knows how excited I am to meet them! As soon as I meet big brother/sister for the first time, I start making the session very much about them. I say things like; “Wow! Is that YOUR new baby?” “Are you a big brother/sister now?” This is such a special time for your family and older brother/sister should also feel special.

With 3 boys of my own, I know how important it is for older siblings to feel involved. I love coming up with ways for them to “help” and have fun. You can ask the older sibling to grab diapers, wipes, maybe even a small prop. If the parents can’t decide between two items, ask the sibling! Getting them involved will make them feel like they are an important part of the photo session.

I hope this guide was helpful. Just remember, keep it Fast, Fresh and Friendly and you will end up with the most beautiful toddler and newborn photos!

With Megan Grove Photography, we always have so much fun, getting great sibling photos is never really a problem!

Newborn and Family Photos | Love Comes in Many Colors

June 13, 2022March 23, 2023 megangrovephotography

Welcome to the newborn photo studio, sweet little Parker!

Love comes in many colors, and I love you with every shade of my heart.
-Author Unknown-

June is Pride Month

I am honored to have been able to photograph this sweet boy for his moms. When we were standing in my studio trying to figure out what outfits Parker should wear, we were all drawn to these little grey overalls and my little rainbow pants. Since June is Pride month, we wanted to add a splash of rainbow to Parker’s photos. But who doesn’t love the little grey overalls? We ultimately decided we should do both! I’m so glad we did both outfits.

Newborn Portraits

Parker is so sweet. I wish I could have held him all day! I absolutely love photographing newborns. I love helping parents capture all the tiny details. The small things are hard to remember but a photograph can bring you right back to that moment in time.

Newborn and Family Photos

I loved photographing this family! You can see the immense love they share. Even Parker was smiling in some. I love doing family photos during newborn sessions. I love getting to see everyone interact with their newest family member. You could tell instantly how excited everyone was to have Parker join the family. Sometimes, the things we have to wait for bring the greatest joys.

I loved photographing Parker and his family.

Northern Colorado Newborn Photography | Loved Beyond the Moon and Into the Stars

May 25, 2022March 23, 2023 megangrovephotography

Welcome to the newborn photo studio sweet baby Theodore!

Northern Colorado Newborn Photo Studio

Theodore recently came into my newborn photo studio for his first photos. I had so much fun with him! He let me do all of the fun stuff. From blanket poses to the bed prop, he seemed to love it all. He even gave me a sweet little smile in one photo!

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 hard 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 Sibling Photos

I love newborn and sibling photos. There is just something special about creating the first sibling photos for parents. It never gets old. Seeing older sisters/brothers interact with their new baby is so sweet to watch. Just look at big sister! She was so excited to show me her new brother. She is so good with him.

Thanks for coming into the newborn studio Theodore! I truly had so much fun.
