It's 5 months until Christmas!
It's hard to think about Christmas when it's 90 degrees outside, but Christmas is only 5 months away! This is a good time to start thinking about and planning your early fall family photo shoot if you want to create a personalized holiday card this year.
Some of our clients like to update their family portrait each year and use that as their card and give gift prints as gifts to relatives at Christmas. Other clients like to get creative and have a funny theme for their holiday cards. While other like to feature their dog(s).
We recommend that you book your photography session no later than October if you want to use any of the pictures for holiday cards.
2018 MaxFund Calendar is on the way!
Mark enjoys donating his time to causes he loves and this year he's teamed up with MaxFund Animal Shelter to photograph a handful of dogs and cats for their 2018 calendar. Stay tuned for sneak peeks and details on how to order your own calendar!
TBT - Norm & Poppy
5 Years ago we saw a frantic friend from a friend at Life is Better rescue saying that she was on the way to pick up 2 5-week old puppies and needed a foster ASAP. We had no other information, but we volunteered. Little did we know that these two tiny fluffballs would arrive a short time later. And when you're a puppy and this cute, you are guaranteed to have at least one of two puppy photo shoots with Mark. They were the perfect models, although I think both of them peed on the floor at one point during the shoot, and had no trouble getting adopted with these gorgeous puppy portraits.
If you are adopting a new puppy or adult dog, think about booking a doggy photo shoot to capture your new family member!
Six month baby portraits
Many times our clients will be excited (and plan ahead) for their newborn photo shoot, but then forget to schedule additional sessions during the baby's first year. 6-8 months is a really fun age for the next photo shoot to document all the changes that have happened since their newborn pictures. Also, this age is really fun to work with and Mark can get a whole range of expressions out of babies that make stunning portraits.
TBT - The tinyiest puppy
Ally weighed barely 2 lbs, but she had a HUGE personality! This little girl was both extra sweet and feisty rolled into a tiny puppy. This is still one of our favorite outdoor puppy portraits of all time!
Happy 2nd Birthday to this cutie!
Mark's had the privilege of photographing this cutie pie since the day he was born (literally!) and it's been so fun to see him grow into this stunning toddler. It was only fitting to have his 2nd birthday photo shoot in one of his mom's favorite places - a lavender farm. Happy Second Birthday, M! We can't wait to see you grow this year!

New custom framing for gift prints!
We will have several beautiful and unique gift print frame options available in the next couple of weeks! These small frames are perfect for prints you wish to display on your desk at work or to include with a gift print so that your photograph is ready for your loved one to display.
Here is one of our brand new custom gift print frames. The custom frames are made to order and are available in several fun colors and textures!
The Path is finished!
Because of all the recent rain & hail in Denver, we've experienced several delays with our studio path and landscaping. But our guys caught a break last week and were able to pour & finish the path! It turned out beautiful and are very impressed with the workmanship!
Thankfully the weather cooperated this weekend and we were able to spread out the new mulch and plant the flower bed. We'll be adding some additional plants soon and we will also have furniture for the photography studio patio! Stay tuned for updates on our Grand Opening Party to show off our new space!
Studio Inside
Here's a sneak peak of the inside of our photography studio in Denver near Greenwood Village and the DTC! There are still a few final details we're working to finish (baseboards, caulking, etc.), but our photo studio is working on a full schedule at this point! Some of our family portrait art is on display and we are finalizing the furniture for the studio (both for your comfort and to use as photography props). Book your summer session to see our new space! Summer is a great time to update your family portrait because all your kids are home from school at the same time.
