BRUGGER FAMILY | DENVER NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER | CASTLE ROCK, COLORADO | 2020



I absolutely loved meeting the Brugger family in their Castle Rock home! They were so kind and welcoming, and they made me feel right at home. 

It is always a great pleasure for me to tell a photographic story of our time together! Baby Hendrix was a perfect newborn at nine days new, and my man Jack, that big-eyed big brother, he was something else. What a sweetie pie!! Enjoy....

GERHART FAMILY | DENVER NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER | CASTLE ROCK, COLORADO | 2020

I typically recommend that my clients book their studio newborn sessions during their third trimester so I can ensure my availability for your family. Once baby is Earth-side, you contact me to schedule your actual session between 5-14 days after birth- a sweet spot of time where baby is sleepy and bendy, ideal for a more posed gallery.

Every once in a while I'll receive an inquiry from a family that has just had their baby and haven't yet booked their newborn photo session. That is how I came to meet this beautiful baby girl! Rory was already two weeks old when her lovely mama reached out to me, wishing that she had booked newborn portraits. They moved to a new house right after she was born, so photos just weren't a priority...until they realized they didn't have them! I am so glad that our schedules aligned and I was able to schedule her on one of my open weekday mornings.

Rory was quite alert, and she put up a good fight to fall asleep for us! I was able to adjust my workflow just enough to find the positions she preferred so that even though she was awake, she was still content.






Today, I am getting ready to send off Rory's studio newborn gallery and I am in love.

PRENTNER FAMILY | STUDIO MILESTONE & CAKE SMASH PHOTOGRAPHER | CASTLE ROCK, COLORADO | 2020

Another first birthday celebration in the books! This sweet family came to my Castle Rock, Colorado, studio all the way from Montana!! What?! Such an honor to serve the Prentners on such a special occasion. And what a fun session we had. I love learning so much about each baby in such a short period of time. It's so fun to see what they are most drawn to and how they interact with each toy and with their family. We let baby lead the way; they'll let us know what they want!


Before I could even share a sneak peek, this beautiful mama graced me with the most heartfelt review I could ever ask for. "...Alyssum was extremely patient and kind with our little one and took the time to let her warm up and get comfortable...Her studio is absolutely breathtaking and she offers outfits for you to wear for all body shapes & sizes! She also provides the most darling outfits & accessories for your little one to wear if you so wish!"


"My daughter can have some serious momma only/stranger danger, which made me fear since the moment we booked that she would just cry and scream the entire shoot. However Alyssum is seriously a baby whisper and remained so calm and patient with us all the entire time!"




"She goes the extra mile to get the shot and was on the floor getting all the best angles while our daughter was covering her studio in cake! She provides so many props to use during your studio shoot and really works hard to make each picture unique!"
