: : maternity photo session in garden of the gods for colorado springs mama : :

Wow, do I have a lot to catch you up on! 14 sessions in the last 2 months with a teething toddler and a 5 month old baby who *just* started sleeping through the night. Whew, folks, it’s been a whirlwind!

This was one of my favorite maternity sessions, like, EVER. Mama Mindy has insanely awesome style, dont you think? That necklace.. those boots! And big brother to be, Nash, did a great job posing with his soon to be born little sister, Ellie!

I loved the shots with the streaming sunbeams coming down — I just love shooting the magical moments of maternity in natural light like this. Pregnancy is a true miracle, and I love the drama of the sunshine and elements involved in the images.

I also love the shot of the ruby sparkle slippers! Mama always wanted them as a little girl and never had them. “So I got a pair for my wedding day, and these will be my little girl’s first pair of shoes.” She picked this image to hang in baby’s room on a big, bright canvas.

Here are a few of my favorites from our session!
