Here are just a couple from yet another gorgeous maternity session I shot last week! What a fun session! You can tell by the light that we had an insanely gorgeous evening to work with. I will definitely have to come back and share more of this session!

How cute is their little one? She was adorable with those big brown eyes, but wasn’t so sure about the camera lady at first…

What a gorgeous evening!  This is by the lake in Washington Park, it was just beautiful. I love the peaceful look on her face in this one.

I announced these special Holiday Sessions last week in my newsletter & on Facebook, and now I’m opening them up to my blog readers!  I’m excited for the 2010 Holiday Season and have some really beautiful Holiday Cards to share with you all.  I will be posting some samples of the awesome 2010 Holiday Cards in the next few weeks here on the blog, so be on the lookout!

Instead of shooting these all on one or two days, I decided to allow clients to book them whenever it fits into their schedules! These have limited availability though, as I’m getting booked up fast for the fall! September is already almost full! Contact me soon (laura@vibrantlifephotography.com) if you are interested in booking a spot. I will keep this post updated as things book up!

Look at this perfect little doll I got to meet yesterday. Baby K is seriously a total doll baby, so incredibly cute and sweet too! Mom and Dad wanted some outside shots, and I was slightly worried about the 100 degree weather yesterday, but turns out what we really needed to worry about was the crazy wind!  Even though she was only 6 weeks old, she was so awesome for our session, even in the wind! I suspect she liked the warm weather, but not the wind so much. She only cried a few times when it would blow really hard, she did so awesome!

In any case, she didn’t disappoint and she made my job easy. What a pretty little model!  Can’t wait to see you all again as she grows. Mom and Dad, I hope you like these!

I love how you can see her long curly lashes in this next one…

We got a few awesome sunbreaks…and this was one of them where we were ready and waiting!

Aren’t they just the cutest little family?

Thanks again C family, it was lovely meeting you all!

I have many more great products to share on here when I get a free moment….

For today, this is the custom CD case that comes with my full digital packages. Isn’t this just yummy! These are super popular, but sadly I never manage to hold onto one for very long.   Time to get me a studio sample!

And of course, this item is totally customized to you and your session! This one is from a baby girl session back in the fall, and was one of my baby girl templates. I have tons more to choose from!

This little guy’s nursery was the winner of my nursery contest, and due to the sickies that have been making the rounds around my house, we had to reschedule our session from a few weeks ago. Well, yesterday was the big day!  When mom and I had initially chatted, it was mentioned that she wanted to capture in pictures just how happy her little guy is!

Well, little P did not make my job hard. He was the most happy, easygoing baby ever! I only had to resort to funny squacking noises at the very end because he pretty much smiled the entire time with very little craziness from me. At 6 months old, he is such a happy little guy! And I got some really great snuggles at the end, too. Mom and Dad, it was great meeting you both! You have a gorgeous family!

So here is the nursery:

And here is the darling little guy who lives here:

Oh man, the sickies have hit our house in a major way this past week. And now it’s my turn. I hate being sick because once I’m better then I have twice as much to do to catch up! We have a busy mother’s day weekend (not to mention the clients I had to reschedule) so I need my health back ASAP!

Ok, on to these amazing products! I am long overdue to start sharing pictures of some of the awesome stuff I offer, so here goes.

First up are Gallery Mounts!  They are one of the favorite items that I offer! Lots of clients are in love with canvas (and rightly so, because they are beautiful) but another option that I love that is a bit less expensive is a Gallery Mount. These pieces come with an actual print mounted on a substrate that is about 1″ thick, and they standout from the wall just like a canvas would.  They look like a really heavy piece of art, but the best part is that when you go to pick them up they are actually light as a feather! This is a really tailored and modern way to display your images either alone with other framed prints, or in a wall gallery together!

In this example it is just sitting on a bookshelf but these look awesome mounted on the wall!!  This is a 16×20 and it honestly could have been quite a bit bigger!

If you would like more information about a portrait session with Vibrant Life Photography and how you can create your own wall gallery with these gorgeous prints, shoot me an email! laura@vibrantlifephotography.com

Stay tuned for images of my gorgeous custom image boxes (that come with the full digital collections)! They are amazing and one of my favorite products! So far I’ve not managed to hold onto one long enough to take proper photos of it, but I now have my very own studio sample I can photograph to my hearts content. I will share that as soon as I get time (and get better!)

Look who I got to meet today?

This little sweetie, baby W, was such a good boy for our session today. Mom told me he was still just a teeny tiny thing, and she was right. He was so tiny and perfect!  When I first arrived he was a little annoyed that I kept messing with him, but he finally gave in to my fiddling and fell fast asleep.

This next picture was actually one of the last ones I took.  A storm was brewing so we hurried outside to get a few shots and thought we had about 15 minutes.  Well, no more than 2 minutes after I shot this picture, the sirens started going off. (Being new to Denver I had no idea what the sirens were for…) but turns out there was a TORNADO sighting in the area! Obviously that cut short our outdoor newborn session, but luckily I got this amazing gem before we had to run back to the car!  And I’m not so sure I like the idea of living in tornado country…but I suppose living in Denver now I will have to learn to deal with it! I think it was worth it to brave the storm, what do you think?

Here are a few more:

It was so nice to meet you all today. Enjoy your new little bundle.

Whew! I’m finally getting around to blogging the rest of this session! Thankfully Mom and Dad have had their gallery for a while now, so I’m off the hook there. To say there is a lot going on around our household is an understatement. Many of you have noticed some changes on the blog, including the word “Denver” in some of my posts and on my website! Never fear, I do plan on explaining…but more on that later in the week…:)

First, I can’t wait to share the rest of these. There are so many favorites for me from this session, so this is a huge share! We took these at the Tucson Country Club which is near and dear to my heart as that is where I married my sweetheart 6+ years ago! I hadn’t been back there in forever, but the grounds are just gorgeous, and it it is the same lovely place I remember from my wedding day. Can’t wait to shoot there again (hint, hint, if any Tucsonan’s are listening…)

Ok, without further ado, here are the pics:

Next up on the blog are these two cuties. I had a session for their 6th and 4th birthdays when I was in Tucson, and I know mom is anxiously awaiting these. She had to wait longer than usual because my computer was here in Portland while I was there! I bring my baby camera everywhere, so I can take the pictures but not edit them!

Anyway, here is a teaser for mom. More to come shortly!

How cute are these two?

I was hired to take this handsome little guy’s portraits…

but while I was there I also got to photograph him with his two twin brothers…

and his whole family all together. Aren’t they adorable?

D family, it was so nice to meet you all, I hope you enjoy your sneak peak!
