Capturing First Moments

August 15, 2024

Mother and daughter portrait at Roxborough State Park. Red rocks and dried grasses in the background. Mom is holding her daughter in a hug and both are smiling brightly.
Fall family portrait at Clear Creek down by the creekside. There is a bridge creating a rainbow effect above the family who is posing perfectly in coordinating outfits of maroon, yellow and blue.
Twin new babies laying in a nest of tan fluffy yarn. They have their arms around each other and a handmade blanket over their tummies.
Bear Creek Lake Park, a sprawling meadow in the end of the summer. The grasses are losing their greens with trees in the background. Three high school siblings are posed together wearing summer blues.
New baby girl is dressed as a Queen with an adorable tiara flower tutu. She is laying on her stomach on a crushed pink velvet in a standard studio newborn pose.

"We recently used Life in Portraits to do family photos with the beautiful fall colors.  We had a great time and got beautiful photos.  I also love how everything was packaged and presented to us when we picked up our order.  I confidently recommend Sara as your photographer!"

"I've worked with Sara on a few occasions now and she never ceases to amaze me! She takes beautiful pictures and is so willing to work with her clients to fulfill their visions. She is very professional and easy to work with as well which is great for intimate settings like photo shoots. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and will definitely be using her services again!"​

We have trusted Sara with our yearly family photos for 4 years now. We were literally blown away with the quality and beauty of our first set of photos with our then 5 and 2 year olds. Our children were not as interested in beautiful family photos as we were. So when we received several gorgeous and believable photos, we were overjoyed and will never look for another family photographer. Sorry Sara, you are not allowed to retire!

For several years I’ve used Life in Portraits for my family portraits. I’m very pleased with all aspects of the process: scheduling, photo shoot setting, attentiveness during picture-taking, photo choices and print options. The quality and creativity of their work creates lifetime keepsakes!

Photographer is standing in the brush of Lookout Mountain. She has her camera pointed towards you and a big smile. Brown brush is all you can see in the background. She should probably do headshots again during the Spring for better colors.

ABOUT ME

Hahnemuhle Fine Art Print with hand torn edges. This is framed in a shadow box and the printed is raised off of the mat board.

INVESTMENT

Fall family portrait of three with coordinating Colorado casual. Clear Creek in Golden, with the Fall colors showing in the trees around the creek.

PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE

A brother and sister stand on a path with their backs to the camera. While holding hands they look at each other and smile. This is a moment in time; a memory their parents will treasure for the rest of their lives.
