More natural light - check!
We loved the original wall of windows in Mark's new photo studio so much that we decided to add more windows! They were installed yesterday and really open up the space. The new windows should also provide nice, even natural light for pictures. Insulation and drywall are next on the agenda and then the studio will really start coming together! We hope to be booking family portrait sessions in the new space starting in May - come see us and the new studio (in Denver)!
The Little Cowboy - TBT
We've had the privilege of photographing this Denver family since the family was just his mom, dad & 2 dalmatians. In addition to the multiple photo shoots leading up to his 1st birthday, including his newborn photo shoot and 6 month baby shoot, this photo shoot was so much fun! Baby butt in a sombrero? Smash cake on a naked baby? Or little cowboy with his trusty steed? We covered it all! It is so much fun for us to see your children grow and we love "growing" along with you to document all the milestones along the way. We're always happy to do a theme-specific photography session if you have something specific in mind that you'd like to try. This little guy is now in school (how did that happen???), but we're still enjoying photographing his family and his new little brother when they visit Denver!
A Girl and Her Horse - TBT
There are few things as beautiful as girl with her horse on a gorgeous afternoon in Colorado. The wildflowers were blooming and the light was golden. This horse property in Parker was the perfect location for an outdoor photo shoot and all the conditions were simply perfect. It also helps when you have a stunning model! Mark photographed multiple horses and various family members during this family portrait session and they ended up with so many wonderful images! They loved their pictures so much that they chose to display 18 canvases as collage to cover an entire wall in their living room. Their artwork displayed this way is simply stunning and they get to enjoy their images every single day.
TBT - A Boy and His Dog
It's always fun to look back at our favorite family photography sessions! This session was an especially fun and memorable session with these two characters. There aren't too many photographers who get excited about photographing a 2.5 year old and a boxer (who was just a big kid at heart) at the same time, but sessions like this are some of Mark's favorites. There was lot of laughter, funny faces, giggles, and face licks. Mark captured this special bond shared between a boy and his dog and the family was beyond happy with the images he created for them. This picture is one of the 3 canvasses they chose from this session to hang together as a photo collage over the couch in the family room. You can't help but smile when you look at this picture and that is exactly Mark's goal for sessions like this.
We have walls!
The new studio is taking shape and we now have walls! Now that the walls are up it's easier to envision how the space will look and we can start planning the fun things like paint colors, flooring and furniture.

Dogs are Family, too!
Families come in all shapes and sizes! While we photograph a lot of families with their children, we also have a lot of clients who have fur kids instead of or in addition to human kids. This family just added a new little brother to their family and came in for a new family portrait of their dog kids. We think the puppy is extra cute, but what a fun looking bunch this is!
If you have a special four legged family member, be sure to consider bringing them in for a professional pet photography session with Mark. He works with all ages, dog breeds and obedience levels and will capture something truly special just for you.
Happy New Years!
Happy New Years from Mark Stevens Photography! We had a wonderful 2014 and are truly thankful for all of our new and repeat clients. 2014 was a big year for us as we added a new member to our family. Molly Stevens joined our family in November and she's practicing to be our future photo assistant and learning what it means to be the newest, littlest worker in our crew.
We've had a fun time photographing every little milestone for her and while we know that you can't come in every week, we hope that you will consider planning a professional photography session to capture the big changes your babies and children make as they grow up. Most of our clients prefer to do newborn sessions, followed by sitting up pictures (typically 4-6 months) and 1 year pictures all in the baby's first year. It is amazing to see how your baby changes in just the first 12 months!
