NEWBORN LIFESTYLE | GONZALES

A couple years ago, not long after my family moved to Colorado and I became the newest Castle Rock photographer, this family hired me to photograph their first newborn Claire (the big sister you see below). Since then, I’ve had the honor of watching their family grow. This year I got to meet their newest addition, Grace! In my line of work beside so many other talented Denver photographers, there is no greater honor than when a family connects with me enough to keep hiring me to capture their family at the most special times in their lives.

My approach as a lifestyle photographer

I walk into every session with both patience and an open mind about how to capture a family in a way that proudly shows their personality. I have my poses and positions that I keep in my back pocket to help things run smoothly, but each room and each lighting situation (and each toddler or baby!) requires a slightly different take on how that ends up looking.

In this particular lifestyle session, the toddler was having an extra-clingy daddy kind of day, and the baby was most comfortable lying up on mama’s chest. So by working around those parameters and letting go of any rigidity, the outcome was truly beautiful!

Flashback to two years ago

My business planning mentors often discuss finding one’s “ideal client.” This involves connecting with the clients that value the same qualities that my business and I work hard to achieve. This family is such a lovely example of clients who appreciate my style of art and value my extra personal approach to running my business. I’m so lucky to have gotten to love on them through the past few years!

Photography by Alyssum is a studio and lifestyle family photographer located in Castle Rock, Colorado, serving surrounding areas such as Denver, Littleton, Louviers, Sedalia, Sterling Ranch, Highlands Ranch, Castle Pines, Parker, Franktown, Larkspur, Centennial, Douglas County, and Jefferson County. I would love to help you schedule your baby’s portrait session or your family’s sunset golden hour session!
