Mallory and Brian decided they would book me for both their maternity and newborn session. I offer a bundle for parents who want to stick with the same photographer for both sessions. My maternity sessions are like what you see here. Natural light, outdoors, and full of that Colorado beauty. For my newborn sessions, I offer in-home lifestyle sessions. This means nearly no posing of you or baby and documenting you in your space right now. New mama. Loving on that sweet babe with your tired arms and eyes but your heart so full of love you almost didn’t know you could love that much. I’ll be there for it. Let me journey with you?

I want to also take a quick moment to thank you all for filling up my fall calendar so quickly. My family and I truly appreciate your patronage to my small business. Truly. Each one of you that book with me helps me pay my monthly expenses and do things with my family that I would otherwise not have the option to do. From the bottom of my heart. Truly. Thank you. You keep the adventure in my soul and my heart in the clouds.

I think that things like this happen for a reason. Session postponements almost allow me to really understand and soak up who a family is, who their kids are. It was such a treat to finally meet them in person and adventure with them in the soulful Colorado Mountains. It did rain a tiny bit during our time together but their family session was everything I had envisioned when she first reached out to me. I call that a success.

Then COVID, oh COVID, why did you have to ruin their newborn session? I kind of look at it as a blessing in disguise because if we had gone ahead with their newborn session, I wouldn’t have been able to photograph them in this amazing location and I also would have missed out on Miss Magnolia’s spunky self! I mean, look at this babe, all smiles and snuggles. I know it sounds weird but I am glad that COVID made this session what it was. Thankful for something that changed us all. Always look on the bright side, right?

If you are sitting there reading through this post, I am guessing that you either know Steph or you have thought about having a session with me. If you know Steph, welcome, isn’t she and her broad gorgeous? If you are here because you have been thinking about working with me, what is stopping you? Let’s make this magic happen and document your family’s love story.

I loved documenting this celebration of her first trip around the sun. I feel like family and I am thankful for that. When I get to work with families over the course of years, we grow together and it just feels so darn good. I cannot wait to watch Miss Amelia grow in an amazing person.

Adventure and soul are the things that drive me to create. When I thought about having a session here, I was excited again. I was renewed. Leslie and her family explored, adventured and loved on each other in the fields by the mountains and we had the best time as you can see from their gorgeous gallery and slideshow.

This boho-inspired family session took place in Colorado Springs, surrounded by open space and mountain views. Having worked with this family before, this session celebrates connection, growth, and the beauty that unfolds when relationships are built over time.

A behind-the-scenes look at a family photography shoot-along mentorship, where learning happens in real time alongside real families. This session captures connection, curiosity, and the kind of growth that unfolds when photography is shared, not siloed.

This in-home newborn lifestyle session in Colorado Springs celebrates the early days of welcoming Baby Mia, surrounded by soft light, thoughtful details, and the sweetest sibling connection. Photographed just days after birth, this session highlights the beauty of documenting newborn life at home, calm, connected, and full of feeling.

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.

When Diana suggested hosting her fall family session at home, I wasn’t sure what to expect, until I arrived to sweeping Front Range views and space made for wandering. This mountain-view family session in Colorado Springs documents a family of five moving together through a familiar landscape, returning once again to be photographed as they grow.

It was just a few short days after Colorado Springs endured a blizzard and the side roads were still partly covered in ice that I made my way to the cozy home of Kristen and Mark to meet their sweet baby, Mr. K. Born at St. Francis Medical Center the week prior, the family was settling into their new routine. I was invited to document the love that was abound. Upon arriving, Kristens dad, Grandpa Dean, welcomed me inside and I could tell this session would be one for the books. Lovely light, lovely family and the sweetest, most perfect boy. The Williams’ home was warm and full of the kind of love you look for in story books.

This project began as an early brand film experiment for Wild Prairie Photography in Colorado Springs, created to explore movement, connection, and visual storytelling beyond still imagery. While the final video itself was not ultimately used, the experience and imagery from this session played an important role in shaping the visual direction of the brand. This post offers a behind-the-scenes look at that process, a reminder that creative growth often comes from experimentation, discernment, and the lessons learned along the way.
