blog and Facebook for the next month or so. We have great shots we never got around to sharing and I hope to change that by sharing them with you.
Btw, here is a black and white headshot of me that Natascha took before a twin newborn shoot earlier this week. What a perk, right? Who goes into work and gets a beautiful professional headshot?

Loved photographing this family from Denver – the sassy, competitive skiing twins who knew just out to make each other laugh, and their super-intelligent parents AND their elegant grandparents.
I* LOVE* three generation portraits as it really speaks to my passion for artistically preserving your family’s unique love and connection. Got some great Grandpa-Daddy-Grandson and Grandma-Mom-Granddaughter portraits among the amazing colors of Colorado’s Fall. Just posting one image for now as I have a slew of recent portrait sessions to work on. I’ll post more later – honestly, probably in January when things slow down.
Speaking of the end-of-the year rush, after the wonderful swirl of crafting and delivering Fun, Vibrant and Joyful family portraits in time for the holidays, I take *all of* December off to focus on my family. So if you are interested in portraits for early next year (I’m already booking into March and April), then please contact me ASAP.

Like many photographers, this is my busy busy season. And I love it!
It also means I’ve been too busy creating vibrant, fun family portraits in and around Broomfield, to update this blog or even my FB page, but I just *had* to post this one.
I told this lovely family that I wanted each of them to stand in front of that super cool barn, get close, and be touching some part of each other for the family portrait.
Mom, Baby and Sister got right into the pose…then Dad and Brother came along…..
This is what I got:

Top 5 Tips for Parents – Capturing Your Child’s True Spirit in Professional Portraits | Family Photography by Natascha Lee Studios
One of the things I specialize in is capturing your child’s true spirit and personality during portrait sessions.
This isn’t easy, as they are usually meeting me for a the first time, probably at a new location, I’m a stranger behind big black camera, and we are asking them to do things they don’t usually do.
But, as you’ll see from my images and these kind words from super-happy portrait families, capturing stunning images of your children’s true spirit is one of the unique things I deliver to clients.
While I focus (pun intended!) locally (Broomfield, Westminster, Boulder, Louisville, Lafayette, Golden, Highland, Aravda, Denver, Cherry Hills) on baby, children and family portraits, these tips will apply to anyone, anywhere planning a professional portrait session with their children.
Here are my top 5 tips for parents looking to have authentic images of your child:
Tip 1) Select the right photographer. Look at their portfolio, and see if their style is what you are looking for. Do you prefer posed images? Or more lifestyle images, where people are relaxed and not looking at the camera? Do you prefer indoor images shot in a studio, or perhaps in your house? Or outdoor images with nature as your backdrop, or perhaps in urban settings? An experienced photographer will have galleries for each of the types of images they shoot, and should have enough images to give you a good idea of their style.
Tip 2) Budget accordingly. Expect to spend money on the right photographer, since talented photographers are in-demand and appropriately compensated for their work. Something to consider: of all the “optional” things you will spend money on this year (restaurants, movies and concerts, new clothes, spa and hair services), professional portraits will be one of the most long-lasting purchases, giving you and others the most joy for years to come.
Two Key Tasks: Find a photographer whose style you love and budget appropriately.
Tip 3) Share advance intel. Tell the photographer a few things about your child(ren) in advance – things they like to watch, read, do. That will help create a quick connection and conversation starting point. Similarly, tell your child about the exciting event you are going to do together. Build it up as something special and fun. With your child, visit the photographer’s About Me section of their website – show your children the photographer’s photo, and a bit about them. This will make your child more comfortable with the photographer.
Two Key Tasks: Tell the photographer two things your kid likes, and visit the photographer’s About Me page with your child.
Tip 4) Follow the photographer’s preparation suggestions. A experienced photographer will send you detailed instructions on how to prepare, which go beyond just selecting cute clothes for everyone. Invest time in reading them and doing all the ones that make sense for you and your family. As I tell my clients, proper preparations can take your photos from Amazing to Mind-Blowing.
Key Tasks: If all else fails, make sure your kids are well rested, super clean (noses, eyes, face, fingernails, etc.) and select clothes your kids are comfortable in.
Tip 5) Relax. Once you have done all your preparation work, let the photographer do their job. I know it’s tempting to step in and tell you kid what to do/not to do, but that usually creates a less cooperative kid, not a more cooperative one. Professional Photographers have plenty of tricks up their sleeve, and sometimes even a roll of SmartiesTM.
Two Key Tasks: Show your child you are relaxed and having fun, and trust the photographer to get amazing images (Because you did follow tip #1, right?)
Below is a sneak peek from a recent portrait session held for a Littleton family. (Backstory: This little boy is impishly looking at the water’s edge, eying the old pieces of wood just begging to be tossed into the lake. ) This is a perfect example of capturing a child’s true personality, and I suspect it will end up being one of his mother’s favorites!
