Colorado Springs Maternity Photographer at Garden of the Gods
A Golden Hour Session With Jennifer + Brandon
There’s something sacred about this chapter, the waiting, the quiet anticipation, the way love shifts and expands before your baby even arrives. Jennifer and Brandon stepped into this space with so much grace and tenderness, booking my maternity and newborn bundle so we could start building connection before their little one was here.
For their maternity session, we chose Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs, a place where the red rock formations stand like sentinels against the evening sky, wrapping everything in warm, golden light. It was one of those evenings where time slowed down and all that mattered was the two of them and the little life growing between them.
Why Timing Matters for Maternity Photos
One of the biggest questions expecting parents have is, “When should we schedule our maternity session?” The truth is, it’s different for everyone. Jennifer started showing later, so we worked together to find the timing that felt best for her, when her belly was beautifully showing, but she still felt comfortable and at ease moving through the session.
That’s one of my favorite parts of this work: guiding you through those details so you can show up feeling prepared and confident.
Choosing the Right Outfit
Wardrobe is one of the biggest pieces of the puzzle for maternity photos. Jennifer tried on several dresses before finally finding “the one”, a soft, flowing Anthropologie piece that hit just right and made her feel beautiful.
I love helping clients with wardrobe decisions. From suggesting colors that complement our location to helping you figure out what feels authentic for you, it’s all part of creating a space where you can relax and feel good in your own skin.
Why Garden of the Gods Is Perfect for Maternity Sessions
Garden of the Gods is an iconic location for a reason: the sweeping red rocks, easy access, and panoramic views make it a dream backdrop for maternity photography. It’s perfect for couples who want dramatic Colorado beauty without a long hike or challenging terrain, especially helpful if you’re late in pregnancy and want a simple, relaxed experience.
Why Clients Love the Maternity + Newborn Bundle
Booking your maternity and newborn sessions together is more than a discount (though that’s nice, too). It’s about building trust and connection before your baby is even born. When we’ve already spent time together creating beautiful maternity photos, walking into your newborn session feels natural and calm, no pressure, no awkwardness, just an extension of a relationship we’ve already built.
Jennifer and Brandon loved knowing they wouldn’t have to scramble to find a photographer in those first hazy weeks. They had everything arranged ahead of time, leaving them free to simply enjoy those first precious days with their baby and I can’t wait to be there for it all.
