Colorado Family Photographer | Salida Colorado Photographer | We met Cassondra during one of the most critical times in our life–just a few months before having our son. She’s a lactation consultant in Chaffee County, and in my opinion, a lifesaver. When we got home from the hospital with our fresh, 48 hour baby, it was overwhelming. Wanting to breastfeed and give him as much consistency as possible while he learned to become a little human was important for both Mike and I. Since our families live hours to states away, having someone close by in our life during this time was so critical. This person was Cassondra. Her sweet spirit and calm nature gave us the confidence we craved that we were doing all the right things for our son. She was with us at the hospital the day after he was born, at our house 2 days later, and answered phone calls amidst breakdowns when things just weren’t going right.

Needless to say, when she said she wanted to do a family portrait session for her Mother’s Day gift, I was elated at the opportunity to try to repay her for all she did for our family those first few months we were home with a new little life. Little did I know, this would be one of my favorite family sessions to date! Cassondra’s sweet family has so much personality and love that it’s bursting out of their portraits! From family dance parties, to scavenger hunts in the field, and cuddling with all their favorite stuffed animals, my finger couldn’t snap photos fast enough!

Not only were we celebrating Mother’s Day for Cassondra, it was also their youngest, Corbin’s, first birthday! His charming smile and hilarious giggle had us all rolling at the shoot! I can’t say enough wonderful things about this family and their love. Thank you so much for being such an important part of our lives! Love you guys!
