Denver Newborn & Baby Photography - Waylon

Denver baby photographyDenver newborn photographyDenver newborn photographyDenver newborn photography

When I was contacted by Holly to photograph her and Dan’s little baby boy I was so excited! I was their wedding photographer in the Fall of 2008 at Keystone Ranch. It was a wonderful day and I was honored to be their photographer. Now a year and a half later I was giddy about photographing their little boy, Waylon! Waylon is such a cute little boy! He was so aware of his surrounds at such a young age! Here’s a few images from our session. I look forward to photographing the entire family this summer!

I joined Laura and Trevor on an absolutely beautiful winter day out at Red Rocks for their engagement session. It was really one of those wonderful days we are lucky to have here at the end of January in Colorado. We had such a great time checking out the different locations in the park and getting to know each other better. As you can see from the photos they are SOOO in love!

Arden was born on Christmas day at 9 lbs 3 oz with a full head of hair!
