The first piece is a handmade glass display box with your favorite 50 images in print. They are tied with delicate silk ribbon and look beautiful on a shelf in your nursery, master bedroom dresser, living room bookshelf, or anywhere you would like them to live. Think of it as a modern take on a coffee table album. Secondly, we have custom birth announcements. Every newborn collection includes 50 custom announcements with envelopes. I have a large catalog of designs and we will work together to get the cards you love and are excited to send out to your family and friends. Let’s show off these babies! Well, both the gorgeous paper and your actual babe.

This is only a piece of their massive gallery. I love the surprise of walking into a client’s home for the first time to see what we get to work with. Every one of my newborn sessions has a flow, but no two galleries could ever look alike. With clients all over Denver and Boulder, I see such an array of new homes and older, revamped homes. What I loved about this home was the overall neutral scheme with pops of eclectic pieces and simple patterns and textures. When everything is simple and beautiful, it really makes the wonderful family stand out!

I have described my experience of finding photogenic locations out on the East plains as squeezing juice from a rock. It just wasn’t happening. Granted, the majority of my sessions are with newborns in clients’ homes around Denver, but obviously the first request for any maternity or family session is a “nice view”. Well, I’ve got good views now! I’m still inside the metro area so you don’t have to go up the hill to get a backdrop like this.

This amazingly cute trio will become a foursome next month and are (bravely) waiting to find out if their new baby will be a boy or a girl. Any guesses?

Seriously, look at these pups. The one they thought would spaz out was cool as a cucumber and the “good” one was a total ham. Can you tell which is which? We couldn’t have asked for more out of them! These group images paired together with newborn portraits are ones that they’ll cherish forever.

Congratulations to Maddoc’s mama and daddy! <3

(Dad played for USC so we used some pieces of his gear to put little man in for some size perspective.)

We were staying up in the gorgeous Colorado mountains so I grabbed the opportunity to take her birthday photos while there. When we found out we were having a girl we toyed with the idea that she’d probably end up being girly like me while trying to follow along with her brothers. Sure enough, she wears tutus in the mud and is as tough as a small girl could come. I love when we’re out playing and other parents constantly apologize for their boys being rough around her. I giggle and assure them that she can hold her own.

She adores her puppy, her grandma’s old kitty, and really any animal she can get her hands on. Think Tommy Boy and face smooshing. She rivals her biggest brother in toddler naughtiness, forcing us to ask her to do the opposite of what we want to get her to do what we actually want. She sneaks under my desk to drink my mostly-empty coffee cups. She’s down for any adventure we throw her way. She gives a mean side-eye.

I can’t believe it is already here, but happy birthday to my little BFF!

Often during newborn sessions there are lulls for feeding, changing, etc. and the parents and I talk shop. The conversation often leads to me preaching the benefits of babywearing (and all the beautiful options out there now!). This mama here heard me loud and clear and has fallen victim to the ring sling addiction like I have. Sorrynotsorry. She brought along her Wildbird sling in the color Starling and it was the perfect addition to our photos, and to Sage’s eyes! I’m happy to answer any babywearing-related questions or make recommendations if you are in the market and want advice from a seasoned vet. By vet, I mean that I have an ever-evolving huge stash that I really should pair down, but I like to pet them instead….. mostly kidding. All of my slings in linens and silks are available for use in your photos too!

Enjoy about half of the photos from the session and leave them some love! Let me know in the comments if you use ring slings or why you haven’t if you’d like to try one out!

And since I don’t think I ever even posted any of their beautiful photos from his first year…..here are some of my favorites! Any of my newborn clients get a special rate for all thier baby’s first year milestone sessions! It is a great way to get those updated shots as baby grows and changes so fast, and also see how your family grows right along with them.

These are two parents that adore their baby girl and are as devoted and proud as they come. Leave some love for Gloria Jean and her parents!

and I’m proud to say that I did my part to try and spread the word about the option of birth centers! This edition features a great condensed resource on who would choose a birth center and why it is growing in popularity. I love that I am directly followed in the article by Aubre Tompkins of Mountain Midwifery. She was the very first person I sat down with in the practice, making me so sure I had made the right decision for myself, and also the one who was there to catch Sloane as she was born. These women are not just talk. They truly live the life of service and support. I couldn’t encourage you anymore to look into your options for a birth center if you have a normal, healthy pregnancy. Ask questions, seek other women who have been through different birth settings, make sure that you are choosing the birth that you envision and not the one that you envision others have had. It all comes back to choice. If you choose a home birth, birth center, epidural, or c-section, it is all right if YOU chose it.

As you can tell, I LOVE talking about birth options! Please email me anytime if you want to talk about any topic around birth, babies, or motherhood. Did I mention I’m getting my doula certification???  rachael @ rachaelwooten.com
