My cheeks hurt from laughter after this family session at Dawson Butte Open Space in Larkspur Colorado! We had too much fun during our time together, we pretty much shut down the park at sunset!

The shower each other with laughter, love, and silliness… This is love folks, plain and simple.   The post Larkspur Family Photography Session | Dawson Butte Open Space first appeared on Crib Tales Photography ..read more

Thomas’s The Office Cake Smash was absolutely epic! I knew as soon as his mama shared her vision with me that she was my kinda people! I love that television series – I’m old enough to have seen it when it first debuted, and have now seen it again in syndication with my teenagers who also love it. We love the inside jokes and references, and it’s pretty much quoted daily around my house. Thomas may not know who Dwight Schrute, Pam Beasley, or Michael Scott are, but he did a perfect Dwight impression for his big ONE YEAR smash! Even his expressions are spot on! I love his little smile, too, whe ..read more

Miss Charlotte joined me in my Castle Rock portrait studio with her darling family not too long ago and I just had to share her sweetness! Since I was able to open back up my studio a year ago I have had baby boom in my studio! I love welcoming all these sweet newborn babes for their close ups, and Charlotte was no exception. She gave me all the wide-eyed smiles I could have hoped for, and a lot of precious sleepy ones as well! I hope to see her back again soon!

Oh hey! I’m so excited to share that Shout Out Colorado recently featured me on their website, talking about my Castle Rock Colorado photography business, and a little about myself. When I started this little business of mine over a decade ago I had no idea it would grow to what it is today. I’m so proud of what I’ve built, and honored to be a part of so many families’ lives, documenting their most special moments. It was really fun to chat with Shout Out Colorado and share not only details about Crib Tales Photography, but also my love for my town of Castle Rock, Colorado. I love getting to c ..read more

Despite all my efforts, babies just don’t stay babies. They grow up on us – whether we like it or not. And those grown up babies deserve delightful and fun milestone portraits as well! Did you know my milestone sessions are available for all children no matter their age? Yep! I want to photograph all the milestones, not just the baby ones! As a Colorado children’s photographer, I want to make sure all stages and ages are documented! Miss Genevieve has been with me since before she was even born. I’ve photographed her and her sister and brother more times than I can count. And I love it! And I ..read more

New Year, New Site! Recently I found myself with a broken website. Womp. Womp. I hadn’t done a major website update since 2012, gulp, and when I accidentally broken my previous site, I knew it was time for an update. “Knew” and “was forced to” are interchangeable there. I may have cried and yelled a few choice words at first, but then when I calmed myself and sat down to commit to the upgrade, I felt my creative juices flowing again and that felt so good! And the bonus of it all is that – you guys – PINK is my favorite color. My office is even pink, in a household of all testosterone, it’s my ..read more

I LOVE putting together Cake Smash sessions for my little ones who are turning the big ONE year milestone! When Peighton’s mama mentioned the Hulk, I got super excited.
