My little models

As a photographer, we often photograph everyone but our own little ones as we use our down time with family as a break from our work. But we should still be mindful to capture the light and love in our own families! I took the opportunity this past spring to capture some goofy, sweet, and serious faces of my two little models. I love them so much! Even when they decided they didn’t want to take a photo together.

    

Newborn baby sailor boat blues

This lovable snuggle bug was surrounded by his big sister, mommy and daddy on this cold winter day last year! We had such joy photographing him for his first session. He already had stolen mommy and daddy hearts completely in just a short time since being born. Happy 1st birthday to this handsome little fellow! big sisterbaby facesbaby boy blues blue baby basket daddy and me just mommy and me newborn baby boy sailor baby boat snuggle baby

A colorful celebration!

1st birthday portraits with balloons and a teddy bear! Our little model was very excited to celebrate his birthday and discover the fun of balloons. Defy hopes all our friends had joy filled celebrations this past holiday season. And a Happy New Year from Defy! We look forward to celebrating with you all for various reasons this coming year. Don’t forget to contact us today for your portrait sessions!

Jellybean

For this Thanksgiving, Defy is especially grateful for a little Jellybean. One of our photographers recently had her first baby. This little guy has brought so much joy to so many people and it’s time to share him with you!

Sweet baby Liam is on his way right now to visit all of his family in Colorado for the Thanksgiving holiday. We know they are beside themselves waiting to see his precious face.

Here’s the brand new family of three!

Family photos with a German Shepherd friend

Family photos are one of our favorite things to photograph. We love meeting new families and watching them laugh and play together. This fun family included their German Shepherd in last years holiday portrait session. They picked a local college campus with lots of greenery for a soft background and we had a great time walking around a fountain taking photos and laughing with their little guy! The dog was so well behaved and add the perfect personal touch for this wonderful family.

Wide eyes at 1 year old!

This curious little boy had quite the 1 year birthday! He helped with opening his presents, enjoyed a lion birthday cake and showed us his favorite toys during a private photo shoot. This is one happy and lovable little guy. We here at Defy would love to photograph him every day! Best wishes to mom and dad as they head into year 2!

Reliving precious moments!

Last year we photographed this baby boy just a month after he was born. Here are some of our favorites from that session. This year we were invited to attend his 1st birthday party and took some updated portraits of him and his family. We’ll be posting those soon! For now, we’re reliving tiny tender moments with this beautiful baby boy as he had his first photo debut!

A newborn baby is always precious!

Ten little fingers, ten little toes, one fabulous bundle of joy! A new mother hired us this fall to capture her wonderful little son. He was so agreeable; he let us move him around and even get a few naked shots. Best wishes to this new mother!
