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!

Vibrant Life Photography is Denver’s Best Family Photographer, capturing memories for happy families for over 2 years.

Check out this sweet 11 day old I got to meet last week up in Boulder. Isn’t he just the sweetest? I am in love with his chubby cheeks! He didn’t want to sleep for me at first, but we managed to get him to conk out twice! Such a good boy!

And check out his gorgeous parents! Isn’t this willow tree amazing? This was just steps from their house! I was so excited when they suggested going outside. Such a beautiful day.

Congratulations again P family, your little boy is just gorgeous!

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!

How cute are these two? We met up yesterday evening for a photo session, and as I was prepping for the session we started getting a massive thunderstorm. Luckily in Denver usually they blow over quickly if it’s not too black outside, so I thought we would still be good for a photography session! Well, as soon as I got to the location, the big black cloud that was already East of us started turning around and coming back! When does that happen?

Anyway, we sort of lost our pretty dappled sunlight, but managed to get some really cute shots anyway!  Little B is almost a year old, and in that perfect-for-photography “I can stand but not yet walk” phase. So cute, and the best part was that he wasn’t able to run from me.

Isn’t he the cutest? I love his little pout here.

Big sister E on the other hand was quite capable of running, and run she did! Away from the crazy photographer lady!  Though mom and I were able to coerce her into just a couple photos with baby brother.

And she did find my antics a tiny bit amusing…see, I got a smile!

Anyway, fun seeing you guys again! Hope you like these mama!

I met up with this little sweetheart a few weeks ago.  At only 10 months old, she had just started walking, and her mama wanted to get some updated portraits before she took off running.   I am in love with her chubby legs and her super cute pout. It doesn’t get much cuter than this!   She was an easy one to photograph because she was just taking slow steps instead of running all over the place. (It’s a great idea to have a photo session when your child can stand up supported on something, but not yet run away from me!)

Anyway, here she is:

check out this perfect pout…

Some of these you might have seen in my recent ad but I love them enough to show them again

I ADORE these next 3…first one she is shyly looking at her daddy wondering if she should really let go of that chair…and then there she goes…

and then she has a little clap for herself, she is so proud!  I love it

And here she is in her birthday girl party dress…

Summer is upon us and this gorgeous weather is the perfect time for getting some new portraits made!  If you don’t need a full custom photography session and just need a few shots to memorialize a birthday or milestone, a baby on the way (or a brand new one) or just want a few updated family portraits for your walls, then this Summer Special is for you!

To book, use the “buy now” button below (which will take you to paypal). Then, email me with your preferred date/time! Easy Peasy. I will try to keep this post updated with what is still available.

If there is a location you would love that I don’t have here, please let me know and I will consider adding a date! Look forward to seeing everyone!

On to the dates!

Summer Special Sessions are now Booked!  Thanks to everyone who participated!

Contact me for more detailed pricing information!

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.
