Highlands Ranch Photographer | Family Photos | Yellow and Gray

We had been planning this family session for so long, and the crazy Colorado weather almost rained us out! But at the last minute the sun came out, and we ended up with the perfect lighting! Whew!

And we have to say how much we absolutely love this family's yellow and gray color scheme!

They coordinated outfits perfectly! The pops of yellow are so full of sunshine!

Great for spring family photos!

Fly'n B Park was the perfect location for us to explore and capture some of that spring sun!

Highlands Ranch Photographer | Pirate Cake Smash | Twins

Pinwheels, pirates, and cake!

Oh.my.goodness!

We had so much fun preparing props for this in-studio photo shoot! We love making custom props for different color schemes and themes! And a pirate theme just happens to be one of our favorites! We made this banner with the exact colors needed for this cake smash, and it turned out fabulous!

We also loved using some props that we used in their newborn photos a year ago! Such a fun way to show how much they have grown!

Ryan and Aralynn came in on their actual birthday, and we had so much fun celebrating with them!
They were not exactly sure what to do at first. We had to kinda show them how to smash into their cakes, but once they got a taste, they dug in! It was adorable!

Highlands Ranch Photographer | Mommy & Me Mini's | Fly'n B Park

We just love capturing the whimsy of childhood and a mother's love.

We set up camp "in the woods" for our second round of Mommy & Me's, and had so much fun!

So many beautiful moments.

Highlands Ranch Photographer | Mommy & Me Mini's | Mountain View

So often us mamas are behind the camera.

The ones taking the pictures, but rarely the ones in the photos.

That's what makes these Mommy & Me Mini's so special!

And the mountains were the perfect backdrop to capture these beautiful mamas laughing and playing with their kiddos!

Highlands Ranch Photographer | Spring Family Photos

With all the rain we have had this year, the spring colors are so beautiful right now.

Making the perfect setting for family photos!

This family was so sweet to photograph.

We loved seeing the brotherly love between Connor and Jack!

How gorgeous is this mama?!

We had so much fun capturing her beauty, and can't wait for baby Beckett to arrive!

Highlands Ranch Photographer | What To Wear | Spring & Summer Colors

One of the most fun and challenging parts of getting family photos is figuring out what everyone is going to wear! We totally understand this and want to help with some tips on coordinating outfits for beautiful final prints!

Coordinating colors photograph better than perfectly matching outfits. So start with a color palette of 3 to 4 coordinating colors, and select outfits within that palette.

If starting out with a color palette is overwhelming, start with one outfit that inspires you and build from there.

Layering with fun accessories is an easy and natural way to add dimension, but try not to overdo it or they may end up being distracting. Try to avoid logos and lettering as well, as they tend to be distracting.

We want to capture authentic images of your family, so select clothes that reflect your personal style and taste! Be comfortable and have fun!

Highlands Ranch Photographer | Family Photos | Grandparents & Twins!

Oh.my.goodness! We absolutely loved meeting this family! This session just fell together so perfectly! We received an email from grandma saying that they would be in town from Mississippi for the weekend, and wanted to know if we would be available for photos the next day!

Grandparents flying in for the weekend to watch their grandkids and get photos...we fell in love with their southern charm and instantly knew we had to make this happen...and we are soooo glad we did!
