Your baby's story, from milestones and beyond
Family seasons shift quickly — often faster than we expect. From the earliest days with a new baby to the growing rhythms of family life, each chapter brings new expressions, connection, and meaning worth remembering.
Family and baby milestone sessions are designed to document these in-between moments with care and simplicity. Whether you are celebrating your baby’s growth, updating family photos, or marking a meaningful season together, these sessions are about holding onto this chapter as it unfolds.
Families arrive here in many different seasons — some during pregnancy or the newborn days, others later on or while visiting Colorado. Family sessions are designed to meet you where you are, honoring your story as it is now.

baby milestone sessions
Baby milestone sessions focus on the stages that often pass without much notice — yet feel so meaningful when you look back. These sessions are ideal for babies who are sitting, crawling, standing with support, or anywhere in between.
The approach is simple and baby-led, allowing room for curiosity, expression, and natural movement. Styling remains neutral and timeless so the focus stays on your baby — their features, personality, and connection with you.

Family Photos & Fall Minis
Fall family mini sessions are a limited seasonal offering, perfect for families who want updated photos in a shorter, simplified session. These sessions are offered on select dates each year and tend to fill quickly.
Fall family mini sessions are offered on select dates each year at some of Northern Colorado’s most loved outdoor locations, including areas near Boulder, Red Rocks, and Rocky Mountain National Park. Availability is limited due to seasonal travel, including annual fall sessions in San Diego for returning families.
Many families choose fall minis as a way to document their growing family year after year while keeping the experience consistent and relaxed.

"We have had the pleasure of working with Amanda for all our family’s major milestones, starting with our first baby’s newborn photos in 2021, followed by her first Christmas and 1-year photos. When our second baby arrived, we didn’t hesitate to return to Amanda for another round of beautiful newborn photos. Her talent and professionalism are unmatched, and we wouldn’t trust anyone else with these precious moments. Amanda makes the whole experience comfortable and fun, and captures the best photos of our family that we will cherish forever!
We’ve recommended Amanda to everyone who asks, and we were thrilled when she recently captured our best friends’ first baby’s newborn photos as well. We feel so lucky to have her as our family photographer!"
