Leah’s Crew | Denver Family Photographer

Have you intersected humans that just make you believe more firmly in the goodness of humanity? Their genuine nature of kindness, presence, intentionality, positive/upbeat vibes that just feel next level special? Those humans are this full family. I’ve never felt so honored by a client while photographing them as their Denver baby and family photographer. Looking in the eyes of this handsome seven year old I can’t believe I met him as a baby and that I’ve been photographing families long enough to say that I photographed a seven year old I see standing in front of me as a baby.

I met this crew SEVEN years ago for a baby session in their stunning Denver residence. I learned that Leah, the mama featured here, is a children’s book author and illustrator. Blown away at her creative genius and presence, I felt so fortunate to share in this space with her and her family. I was so sad to hear that her family was moving back home to Wisconsin to be closer to family and as equally overjoyed when she reached out to book a family photography session in Denver while in town before school starts!!!

The way these humans treat each other, interact with others, there is a deep passion for life, respect for humanity and genuine kindness and care shown to me during their session. There is something wildly special about this energy, exceptional about the hope for humanity that it creates and it inspires me deeply to embody it and allow myself and others to steep in the enriching nature of this kind goodness. THIS is what we need more of in the world right now. I’m craving it so deeply and I have a feeling I’m not the only one.

I believe that life can get so full and big that it’s almost impossible to be present with one another, I hope that these chaotic moments during your photo session can bring pause, enjoyment, less performative perfection and more playful present, snuggled together connected goodness that allows me as your Denver family photographer to capture and witness your humanity, your relational rapport you’ve built with your small humans and how you show them to navigate the world based on what you model and bring.

How special to bring a book that you wrote, illustrated and worked to publish - to a photo session to share with your son. These moments are so genuine and intimate, a deeply personal depiction of your story and the art of being human and I feel so honored to create them with Denver families and pregnant women, new moms, new families as a photographer.
