The Wild Prairie Journal
Stories from the hearts I’ve photographed, planning guidance for the seasons you’re in, and honest moments worth holding onto.
From Colorado Springs family sessions to mountain elopements, weddings, and couples’ adventures across Colorado, this is where inspiration and real life meet.
Lifestyle Newborn Session in Arkansas by Colorado Photographer
I was lucky enough to travel to Arkansas and spend time with this sweet family to document their new baby boy, Knight with an in-home newborn session. David and Shereka were so welcoming when I arrived at their home. They let me do my thing by finding great little pockets of light throughout their home and I think that the spots I found worked perfectly for this session.
Their home was quite dark with little natural light access. I found some light by their backdoor out of their bedroom and also in a bathroom by the window, a lovely spot in one of their older sons’ rooms that I could use, as well as a nice shaded area between their garage and house. I moved around some furniture and set it up for making use of the light that I had. It was perfect.
Family Session at Pinnacle Mountain State Park
While traveling to Arkansas, I photographed a family session at Pinnacle Mountain State Park, a place filled with texture, movement, and quiet beauty. This session documents connection, motherhood, and the joy that comes from photographing families in new landscapes while traveling.
