Denver Family Photographer - First Birthday Party

Denver Family Photographer - First Birthday Party

Miko’s first birthday! And it’s called Mikochella.

This adorable family hosted Miko’s birthday party at their home. Taylor and Keith put in so much love to decorate and invite their friends and family to celebrate Miko. Taylor knows how fast Miko is already growing up and how much she wants to preserve the memories of this time of their lives. It’s so special to be able to look back on with time. Being a first birthday photographer in Colorado is such a special event for me too! I’ve seen Miko a few weeks after he was born all the way up until this point. Watching families grow, metaphorically and physically is wild. I probably feel an ounce of the way my parents and relatives do when they say, you’ve changed and grown so much!! And it’s a beautiful feeling.

Taylor, Keith and their adorable baby, Miko

Our photo sessions together have changed so much over the years that I’ve known Taylor. From taking photos in her home with 3 dogs and 3 cats, here we are today! Baby Miko slept on our drive up the mountain in Nederland and was happy most of the shoot until the end as expected. Taylor and Keith are such incredible parents already! It has been beautiful to witness their love for Miko.

Haley and Tinley- my favorite mom and daughter to take photos for. I love to see how much they both grow each time we have a session. We always visit a few locations and try to be sure at least one has a water feature for Tinley since she loves water. This time, we visited some forest preserves and Haley’s new home for this new season of her life. Haley’s commitment to making her own and Tinley’s days as fun as possible is so inspirational. She makes sure to treat themselves to their favorite meals and go to their favorite places whenever Haley isn’t working.

I’ve been taking photos for Haley and Tinley for a few years. Haley is always on board for new photos of her and her daughter. Haley has been through all the ups and downs of life over the past 2 years, but the most important thing to her is Tinley. I’m always inspired by Haley’s devotion to preserving memories of her and her daughter. I’ve done at least 5 sessions for them and Haley always has matching outfits and shoes. Haley always says “ we do whatever Tinley wants to”

The way she means this though isn’t by letting Tinley be spoiled, she means that if she gets off her night shift as a nurse and has the day open to spend with Tinley and Tinley wants to go swim at the lake, they do it. Tinley teaches Haley to do spontaneous and fun things just because. I love the way they lead their lives and get through all the tough times of being a single mom. It makes me so happy after I deliver a photo gallery to her and I get a text saying they’re her favorite photos ever.

Every moment in life is the most important. That concept is amplified when someone has a baby since they’re physically changing so quickly and obviously. It’s such a good metaphor for embracing the present moment and treating every day like it’s a celebration- because. it is <3
