Ask any business owner, and opening a new location really is like having a new addition to your family! Congratulations to the whole team at TaDa Gymnastics who is making strides all across Denver, this time in Central Park. In a beautiful collaboration with owner, Erin McDonald, we treated the shoot like a baby reveal — she brought a custom newspaper, huge balloons, and confetti to celebrate! Check out the amazing photos we created at Denver Photo Collective!
Parents of newborns in the Denver area have gained a valuable support system with my client, Carol Manno of Nurture Pediatric Craniosacral Therapy. If you’re new to craniosacral therapy, Carol’s practice specializes in treating babies with latch issues, tethered oral tissue, tongue-tie, torticollis, plagiocephaly and tone issues.
Through our photo sessions, we tell the story of young patients and their families, creating a visual narrative beyond words that illustrate craniosacral therapy for the little ones. In addition, we captured the calming and gentle personality of Carol through headshots and personal branding portraits.
Carol utilizes a unique protocol that combines sensory and motor activities with craniosacral therapy, treating the root causes of conditions while promoting the development of a calm and resilient nervous system in babies. I was thrilled to witness this in person at our studio!
Take a look at some of our work below, which involved photography with a beautiful newborn and an incredible 6 month old with their mothers.
If you’d like to schedule a personal branding session for yourself and your business, reserve your date here. Need more time and more images? Classic Sessions can be used for any need.
Women’s Month occurs in March, and the best way to recognize and contribute for me as a photographer was to create a tampon drive for I Support The Girls, utilizing photography to help make dignity the norm.
Fellow creative photographer, Brooke Austin and I partnered together and hosted parallel events at The Denver Photo Collective, eventually raising funds and a trunk FULL of menstrual supplies for those in need.
Thank you to everyone who showed up and to everyone who spread the word. We made a difference.

I’m excited to share some new work with you all! It’s Women’s Month, and I’ll be taking your updated portraits every Tuesday between 11:30am - 1pm at The Denver Photo Collective. The following images are representative of what we might capture together while raising funds and collecting unopened tampon boxes for I Support The Girls — the most worthy cause for Women’s History Month.
Just over a year ago, I responded to another photographer’s model call for a motherhood session. There, I met Erin Lassahn. Being a momtographer (yes, I picked that up from an Instagram hashtag), it’s rare to be a focal point of a session. Erin provided that experience for me and my girls.
During that session, I saw something that perhaps only another photographer/parent can recognize with clarity. The constant drive that only grows after 15 years of experience. The hustle from a parent of multiple kids (she’s got twins!) who has no time to lose. The acceptance of only forward growth. And obviously the talent, because her captures were excellent.
If you aren’t able to attend my Motherhood Sessions on 5/6 and 5/7, Erin is shooting at our mothership studio The Denver Photo Collective on 4/23.
I’m honored to have taken these updated personal branding portraits, and look forward to working together more! Teamwork makes the dream work when you have a community of likeminded professionals who lift each other up. =) Love your new photos, Erin. Let’s kick some ass this year.
One of the most wonderful benefits of being a part of a creative community is having access to incredible styled sets, where photographers and clients create art with their own, unique eye. I recently hosted indoor studio “Pink & Gold” sessions at The Denver Photo Collective and am so happy to share some of my work. This room is available until 2/15/23, and perfect for besties, motherhood, and best of all - celebrating yourself in a safe, beautiful space (including boudoir!).
Book your session with me before 2/15 before this room transforms into the next best thing. :)
