Baby Ezra | Orlando Newborn Photographer | Alison Epps Photography

Being a brand new mother is a very wonderful thing. A very scary thing. But wonderful, nonetheless. I walked through the early years of marriage with this lady. Before either of us had children we would photograph weddings together, take trips together, and hangout in between. When I moved for the first time, to Savannah, she reminded me that I was missed. She would sit on the phone with me while I got to know my new area and made new friends and got into the wedding industry in a new state. When she got pregnant with her first-born, I couldn’t be there all the time like I wanted to. But I did get to meet her little girl, Isla, just a few weeks later….

Mandy + Bryce | Horsetooth Reservoir | Fort Collins, Colorado Wedding Photographer

This Fort Collins, Colorado family session of Mandy and Bryce is just the best thing ever! We photographed their anniversary session at Horsetooth Reservoir in Fort Collins, Colorado capturing family pictures with their newest family member – Penny Lane! How sweet is this King Charles Cocker Spaniel?? I could take her picture all day! Oh, and that gorgeous backdrop? I just LOVE finding water in Colorado. That is the one thing I miss about living on the coast my whole life, so anytime I find these fun hidden gems in Colorado I go crazy with pictures!! Enjoy!

I nudged her to do the shoot since she’d said she didn’t have very many pictures just the three of them and she hesitated but eventually agreed. After the shoot, here is what she wrote. “Peace is what I feel when looking at these. I want to say thank you to Alison Epps for being a friend, a photographer and involuntarily being a support system this fall. On September 9th we miscarried. And I honestly didn’t want to think about family photos — I kept putting it off but Alison asked…

Dorsten Family | Denver, Colorado Family Photographer | Lone Tree Family Session

This is Brenna, Matt and Jane. They are the sweetest family of three that you’ll ever meet. I went to high school with Brenna a little while ago (I won’t say how many years ago because it makes me feel too old) and shortly after college Brenna and Matt moved to Denver. When I was looking to move here I immediately contacted Brenna to get the scoop on the best locations to live, the best breweries in town and best child-friendly activities. Jane and my daughter Hadley instantly became friends and the rest is history. :) I was so excited when Brenna told me they’d not ever done real family photos, and immediately got to thinking where we could make some beautiful images for them….
