Denver Mom
Sweet Cyrus is a big brother now, but in August we had a little fun at the lake before his little brother joined their family! There is something so magical about maternity sessions. There is seriously nothing I love more than an expecting mother. Those last few weeks of waiting and anticipation can be extremely magical.
I absolutely LOVE celebrating motherhood! In August I offered a small set of Motherhood mini sessions here in Denver and these were the first mini sessions I have ever had that were a success (booking wise) I had 3 beautiful mama's and their gorgeous kiddos join me along the side of a beautiful little creek. We talked and laughed and sang and danced.
This mama is also an AMAZING photographer (and house flipper) here in Denver and she wasn't afraid of the cold stream and just jumped right in with her sweet girl.
As we all know I love everything about motherhood and I am one to believe that every stage of motherhood should be documented. I love when mothers reach out to me to photograph this time in their journey. It is so hard being a mother and finding time to step in front of the camera, especially with your children. Even for me and I am definitely trying to be better about being present in the images with my children.
The more I photograph motherhood and I understand that these photos are not for me or you or your husband or sister or mom, they are for your children. I only have a handful of photos with my mother from when I was a child, and even fewer of us just goofing off being silly together. In the warmer months I plan on offering motherhood sessions outside once a quarter. In the winter, I plan on offering these sessions once a month at an indoor location.
When Monet and I were discussing my vision for her maternity session, the one thing I wanted her to do was get in the water. She had ZERO issues with that and even spent a week looking for the perfect dress to fit my vision. Being in Denver had given me so many new options and ideas for my maternity, motherhood and family sessions. Being in the water is definitely something I have been longing to do for quite some time. We ended up going to a small reservoir in Aurora and found a spot that we almost completely secluded. I am so excited to be offering these Maternity Sessions until the middle of September and I will be offering them again in the spring once it warms up enough to go back out.
Sweet little Lucy wasn't too sure about the water, but as long as Mama was holding her she was all giggles and smiles.
Monet said being in the water was extremely calming and relaxing for her, especially on the waters edge where the water was the warmest.
About a week before out session Monet had her belly adorned with Henna.
This sweet family is welcoming their new little one to their family in the few weeks. They are having their birth documented by another amazing photographer here in Denver and I am so excited to see their birth story.
If you are interested in booking your maternity session or birth story, please send me an email. I would be honored to speak with you about my services
Motherhood Stories are my new baby. This year I have spent a lot of time really evaluating where my work was going and what exactly I wanted to photograph. Motherhood Stories came to me at the beginning of the year but my vision for them required me to hold off until summer to really dive in. The water can be so healing, it can be a place where you hold on to your little ones so tightly and just love on them. I feel extremely drawn to the water and I am so excited to bring others with me. These Stories aren't just about photographing you and your child(ren) it's also about loving yourself and really truly embracing who you are a mother.
I would love to photograph you and your children (if you'd like) in the water. I am currently offering Motherhood Mini Sessions at this location in August and September. Comment or send me an email at Hello@Photoartbyjessica.com to book your mini session!!
