Let’s just throw this out there—I know we live in the mountains and all, but your maternity session doesn’t need to be with big mountain backdrops, a flowy dress, or a full face of makeup to be absolutely stunning.This Colorado Springs maternity session was the opposite of all that—and it was magic.
These two invited me into their home just weeks before welcoming their first baby together. She’s a first-time mama and a nutritionist (shameless plug- HERE), embracing this season with intention and a deep trust in a woman’s body. Together, they bring a certain badassery as a Jon also owns a Jiu Jitsu gym. This session could not be your typical one. The light in their bedroom spilled across the floor like a warm hug.. or a full guard, and everything felt slow in the best way.
We didn’t pose much. They snuggled. Read books. Rested in the soft glow of golden hour. There was no pressure to perform—just the realness of early parenthood. It was cozy, quiet, and so full of love.
This mama is leaning into postpartum in a way I wish more of us could—honoring the stay-at-home season that so many cultures celebrate. No rushing. No bouncing back. Just resting, bonding, and being. We so often feel the rush and chaos.
But I’m here to tell you—YES, YOU FREAKING CAN. You don’t need a styled house or the “perfect” outfit. You just need to show up as you are. That’s what makes a Colorado Springs maternity session like this one feel so damn special.
So if you’re craving something slower, more grounded, and totally true to you—I’m ready when you are. Let’s capture your motherhood story in the place that holds it all: home.
