This session was so fun! Trish decided to schedule a Denver maternity photographer while her husband was at his "dad-chelor" party! Dad's buddies celebrated how awesome it is to become a father, and mama celebrated what a rock star she is growing this tiny human! I'd say this little one will be off to a great start, surrounded in love by family and friends.
Maternity in the studio
I was so excited to have a chance to photograph this gorgeous mama in one of my brand new maternity dresses from the client closet! Baby #3 will be here any day!

Some women prefer to have their maternity sessions outdoors in the golden Colorado sun, and I'm here for it! This session took place at my favorite Castle Rock location. You can view more outdoor sunset sessions in the "family" tab!

The Maternity Experience
When you step into the maternity studio, your family will immediately feel at ease. The beautifully styled sunroom looks more like a home than a bare backdrop. It's as cozy and bright as a favorite room in your own house. It's the perfect space to highlight your bump and your family's connection with minimal distractions. You'll also find a separate spacious fitting room filled with dresses for you, outfits for babies and children, and even some shirts for dad (hello, time and money savings). These rooms and more are part of my home in Castle Rock, CO, and I am so grateful to share this designated space with you!
I'm a mama and I've been through this whole process myself (twice). I invite you to trust my vision to capture your family in a timeless yet modern aesthetic. If all of this resonates with you, then let's start discussing how we can create they most meaningful artwork you'll ever purchase in your lifetime.
the easiest decision you'll make when it comes to your pregnancy journey
Searching for a Denver maternity photographer? Maybe you want some intimate maternity photos to remember how your body changed to grow your family. Or you want to document every part of this stage of creating a new life.
Send me a message so we can start to discuss what's the best fit for you- the multi-session membership, a single session, or the petite session. Memberships ensure we don't miss anything important- from your bump, to your new baby, and even milestones throughout their first year. Petite sessions are quick and easy in the studio. Full sessions can be outdoors at sunset or in the studio.
1. Say Hello
Once you've decided whether you'll be booking a single maternity session or the multi-session membership, we'll get it on the calendar!
I typically schedule maternity when mama is 32-36 weeks along. Your bump begins to round out at this time and your body is still comfortable to move around into various body-accentuating poses.
2. Schedule it
Once booked, you'll begin to receive all of my planning materials to make this process as stress-free as possible.
I invite you to come into the studio to meet me ahead of time and have a fitting with my client closet. This helps you feel confident in the available choices and have undergarments planned. There's usually time for 2-3 looks for mama at the session!
If coming in before your session doesn't fit your schedule, you can view my client closet through Style & Select and send me your picks. This tool also allows you to shop for other items you might like to purchase online separately.
3. Planning it
Relax and let's have some fun! I swear the hardest part is just getting everyone clean and in the car. It's all easy after that!
When you arrive, I'll have your selected wardrobe steamed and ready to go. You can always bring personal items of your own that you'd like wear, too!
Your significant other and any children are always invited to join in the session if that's your vision. We'll cycle through tons of beautiful poses (with and without them).
4. Your Session
After your session, I will gather the best images together in an online proof gallery. You will then select the images that you'd like me to hand edit and include in your fully retouched gallery.
Based on your favorites, you get to select which digital image and print package is best for you. Your package is fully customizable, which means you only purchase what you'll treasure!
5. Your Photographs
Because families aren't one size fits all, my sessions include both digital images and easy access to my professional print lab. Your family photography will be passed on for generations, no matter how you choose to store and display it.
Want a shorter session with only a handful of digital images to remember your pregnancy?

details
Alyssum is truly talented! We have trusted her with our newborn baby and toddler over the years and I can honestly say the quality of her pictures and her artistic eye are top notch! She is also so kind, gentle and great with children.
maternity session
Through crankiness, diaper changes, and kiddo unpredictability, Alyssum is kind, thoughtful, patient, and plays and laughs along with my kids AND somehow manages to capture the most perfect pictures! I will never use another photographer to capture my family photos!!
Family Session
Alyssum is the most incredible photographer I have ever had the privilege to work with. I feel seen in her photos. I never have to worry about an unflattering angle, she guides you through where to look to help avoid those third trimester double chins.
...Not only that, but she has this ability to immediately put you at ease. This is why I have used her for maternity, newborn, mom & me, and family photos. I won’t go anywhere else.
motherhood Session
I had so much anxiety going into newborn photos worrying if my baby was going to be fussy the whole time and not cooperate! Alyssum made the whole experience so comforting and it was so easy to trust her in capturing beautiful photos. The studio session was the absolute perfect environment for calming the nerves and taking your time to work with your baby. I cannot say more great things about Alyssum!
newborn Session
The photos and moments Alyssum captures are SO incredibly beautiful! I always feel like it's such chaos during the photos as we have two toddlers but Alyssum always manages to capture so many incredible shots that are truly reflective of this season of our lives. Which is exactly the reason we choose Alyssum as our family photographer -- to capture these exact moments!! As we just finished our second family milestone session, two years in a row, we will absolutely return for future years. Alyssum, you do such an amazing job -- thank you!!!
milestone Session
We did a newborn session in studio with Alyssum. It was one of the best photography experiences we’ve ever had. Her studio is very comfortable and her client closet is amazing. ...My husband is not a huge fan of getting photos taken but he also felt very comfortable. Alyssum was great with our newborn son and 2.5 year old daughter and took some gorgeous photos. ...Everything about the experience was easy which I appreciated so much. And we ended up with photos that I will treasure forever. We highly recommend Alyssum!
newborn Session
Alyssum is truly the best!! From maternity photos, to newborn photos of both of our babies, and family photos in between, we are always blown away with the photos!! She truly captures the moment and the special times in our lives like no one else. We cherish our photos so much!!!
newborn Session
We have used Alyssum twice now for photos and she does such an amazing job!!! Her work is absolute perfection. She is also very easy going and fun to work with. Our son isn't a fan of strangers or being put in the spotlight and she really was so good and gentle with knowing how to engage him in photos.
...She is the definition of you get what you pay for, actually her services are worth even more in my opinion. I would 100% recommend her to anyone.
newborn Session
I cannot say enough good things about Alyssum! Her photography is beautiful; light and airy. Alyssum herself is a gem and she’s able to create such a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere. She’s so kind and fun to work with. We did our newborn photos with her and we recently did a spring mini session when our daughter turned 16 months.
newborn Session
Tell me about yourself and your family. Ask me your questions and tell me your ideas. I can't wait to hear from you and help you build a session that your family will treasure for lifetimes!
Thank you!
