Life moves so fast. Like Smash Mouth says, "Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming."


It's easy to let all of those small, precious moments slip away. That's why family and motherhood photography is so important. You're able to carve out some time to be together, pause and create lasting memories to cherish for a lifetime.


As a Colorado Springs family and motherhood photographer, I specialize in capturing the love, laughter and connection that makes your family unique.

The Importance of Family and Motherhood Photography


Sure, it's easy to snap a quick photo on your phone but nothing really compares to professionally captured portraits. Here's why investing in it is worth it:

  • Preserve Your Legacy Your family and all of the stories you create together deserve to be remembered. The scrapbooks and collages deserve to be passed down. Think of your grandchildren and great grandchildren getting to sit down and see beautiful artwork of their ancestors.
  • Document Growth + Change Kids grow fast. Before you know it, the tiny hands you once held will grow, and the giggles that fill your home will turn into cherished memories. With professional portraits, you'll get to look back and feel like you're in that moment again.
  • Quality Artwork While I love a good printed photo from a disposable camera or a phone selfie, a professional photographer will know how to use lighting and subtle details that bring out authentic emotions to document your family. Your photographer also has access to equipment to ensure the highest quality for printing photos and can likely help you with professional printing.
  • Enjoying Stress Free Photos When you use a professional photographer you don't just have someone taking your picture. You have someone with knowledge and experience to help you create the perfect experience. From help with wardrobe, location and posing a professional photographer should be able to guide you and make the experience fun!

The Art


A photograph is more than just an image. It's a doorway to the past, a tangible memory that connects generations. In our fast moving world a family photography session can be a great way to slow down and preserve those fleeting moments in time. The portraits created become cherished family heirlooms that carry the essence of who you are. Your life, your love, your legacy.


Imagine years from now that your children are sitting with their children, flipping through a beautifully crafted album, telling stories that make them laugh and cry. Your memory living on and inspiring a new generation.


Family portraits aren't just about freezing a moment in time. They're about creating something enduring and meaningful. Something that will hang on your walls, grace your family albums and be passed down as treasured keepsakes. They're about ensuring that no matter how quickly time passes, the love you shared today is always remembered.

When should we take family photos?


Every season in Colorado offers something special and unique for family photos:

  • SPRING Blooming flowers and fresh greenery make for vibrant, lively photos
  • SUMMER Long golden hours and warm weather create dreamy outdoor mountain sessions
  • FALL Crisp air and stunning autumn leaves make for cozy, intimate portraits
  • WINTER Snowy mountain backdrops add a magical touch but Colorado Springs also has several beautiful indoor studios to choose from

How should we prepare for family photos?


  1. Coordinate Outfits Choose a few complimentary colors and avoid large logos or busy patterns. Soft neutrals and earthy tones always photograph beautifully.
  2. Relax and Have Fun Let go of the pressure to have perfectly posed images and aim for authentic moments you want to remember for life.
  3. Bring Snacks and Comfort Items If you have little ones, bringing along a treat or comfort item can help kiddos stay happy and engaged.
  4. Trust  Your Photographer I'll guide you through natural poses and candid moments to create stunning images you'll love.
