SOKOLOSKI FAMILY | NEWBORN LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHER | CASTLE PINES, COLORADO | 2020

I visited with the Sokoloski family last week, and I got to meet their sweet new addition, newborn baby Avery! This feels like the perfect opportunity to dust off my blogging fingers and start posting more of my sessions. (This is the third session I've had with them and only the first one to blog. Yikes! Time to start getting more active.) When I arrived to their home, Avery was finishing her meal with her mama, but that didn't mean mama couldn't help big sister Ellie put on some pretty lip gloss! Ellie is the most perfect big sister who just loves on her baby sister so well. She also loves her big girl tent and reading in it with her daddy. I can't wait to continue to watch this beautiful family grow!

ELLIS FAMILY | DOUGLAS COUNTY, COLORADO | 2018

When Ashley contacted me about booking her family portraits for this fall, I was so excited to plan their session! We met through our local MOMS Club when I moved to Castle Rock last fall. She is such an amazing mama, and I am honored to capture her family.

These beautiful sisters are the same age as my two babies! I might be biased, but it truly is my very favorite age to photograph. I often get parents saying, "Oh my two year old is really going to make you work for it!" But the truth of the matter is that's okay! While I do take a few moments to grab a portrait with everyone looking at the camera, that's not our main goal here. I want to tell the story of your family so you and your children can look back at these images with THEIR families and see something really special.

I love this sweet mama's boy!

This might look like a quiet, stolen moment, but nope, there's a baby on the hip. And it doesn't get more real than that for a family of five...

Sometimes the littles reach a point where they are just D O N E with a capital DONE, and that's totally expected. They had so much fun playing and exploring for an hour straight! They were rock stars. But I love that Ashley and Will decided to include some of these outtakes in their gallery because this is a perfect way to remember the whole gamut of faces they see on a daily basis. It's not all smiles and giggles, and that's life with three under five!!

Thank you, Ellis family, for spending a beautiful evening with me and allowing me to capture your family as you were in this very moment.
