Family of Three Starting the Day Off Right!

September 20, 2022

Good morning, sunshine! If you’re looking to start a daughter day off in the best way possible, take a look at what Reed’s family did. They put her in a few of her favorite dresses, swung by the studio, and had some photos taken of her silliness! The only expectation was to play, love on each other, and enjoy each other’s company. Did we pretend the entire studio was Reed’s house? Yes, we did. Did we jump off the couch? Oh yes, we did. Did we play with all the props? Totally. We even smooshed into a little cardboard box. “If I fits, I sits” is for more than just cats. :)

In any case, we all were smiling at the end, and I hope the good vibe continued for their big day out together. I hope they went to mini golf, or saw a movie at the Alamo Drafthouse. Maybe they went to Babe’s Tea Room for warm beverages, tiny sandwiches and Bella Macarons. These are some of my favorite things, after all. And I’m so happy Reed has these photos with her mom and dad to remember how it started.

Thanks to Reed and her parents for being such a bright light in the studio for me. If you’re looking to capture something similar with your little one, start your day with me and schedule your session.

Reed participated in this box project. She brought ALL of her personalities and nailed the assignment. :)
Thanks Reed for being such a ray of sunshine in the studio!

Welcome, Baby S! Arvada Newborn Photography At Home

September 6, 2022

Thank you to baby S’s family for inviting me to capture memories from little brother’s first days at home. Big brother, M really did his best to steal the show, and honestly it made all of us laugh. It’s my hope that Baby S and Big Brother M will show off these first sibling photos with their own future families. :)

If you are looking for newborn photography, please contact me by your 3rd trimester. If somehow you are looking for photography after baby has arrived, don’t hesitate to call for availability. Memories are important and I’d love to help.

Make Group Headshots a Fun Team Activity for a Cohesive Look

August 30, 2022

Every now and then, an idea just clicks, makes sense, and ends up being more fun than imagined! I was approached by an individual who needed an updated headshot for their company’s new direction. Sure, I could provide a session and it would be great! But… what if we could give everyone on the team a consistent look across the board, making the group really LOOK like a team in addition to doing amazing work as a team? Even better, we could do it all in an hour, together making the most efficient use of everyone’s time.

That’s exactly what we did for the mama’hood, a Denver lactation support and education group. The mama’hood has really sharpened their focus this summer, and they came in for an updated look for the launch. Congrats to the mama’hood! Thank you for bringing your team into the studio. Everyone looks great, and I wish you great success while providing an essential service to caregivers and the tiny humans who need them.

If you’d like to come in with your team for a photo session, email stephanie@marilee.co and let’s make it happen!

How lucky a set of kids can be to have both of their grandparents to build a relationship with while young. I hope these photos will bring back great memories of their time together in Denver. <3

Thanks for inviting me to capture this special time together on a warm, sunny morning in Wash Park!

Adding Personality to the Brand - Headshot and Corporate Studio Photography

June 22, 2022

I’m so excited to share some new work! Lauren and Emily came to me in search of adding some fun imagery to their new consulting company. The studio was perfect to highlight their pink & black palette, and we definitely worked in both LinkedIn (or About.me?) appropriate photos AND Instagram-worthy material. Check out some of my favorites! If you’re interested in a studio session (Air conditioning! Beverages! Snacks! Couches! Green room!), I’m eager to get back in there. Most sessions like this can be knocked out in about an hour. Email/call me! stephanie@marilee.co - 707.246.8156

The studio is located at the Denver Photo Collective in Lakewood, Colorado.
