Alex Maternity

Last month I flew up to Denver for my best friend’s baby shower. Since I was already planning on visiting, she asked if I’d be able to document a maternity session with her and her husband. I could not have said, '“yes,” quick enough. We ended up at a spot another photographer friend was going to be shooting at the same day since I trusted her local judgement and weather expectations. It was a nice trail with some boulders and snow hanging on, but not totally freezing. A perfect winter walking adventure. I always make my families and couples walk around and explore. I find that I capture the in between moments more organically and posing doesn’t feel so forced. I also try to capture images of dad as much as mom when he’s at the session as well. I mean, worst case everyone can use a new professional headshot anyway right? But really, it’s a good excuse to capture both parents before they get caught up in being parents. Here’s a look at their snow capped shoot in the mountains of Colorado.
