Loving the rain in Broomfield, cooling everything down and providing extra water to thirsty plants.
Be sure to check out Broomfield’s National Night Out next week.
On to today’s post:
This is Jessica – I swear she is part mermaid!
So excited to get to photograph her again in August!
She’s a natural in the water:

Broadlands West Park in Broomfield
Meadow Mountain Rd and Sheridan Blvd – Broomfield, Colorado
Want to see all the top 20 park reviews? Click here.
Quick Summary:
Very small park with a neighborhood feel. Try it out if you are looking for something new or if it’s location (on Sheridan on the W side of the Broadlands) is convenient.

Parents of very young children will want to know:
Since older kids practice sports here, your very young child may see/hear things you would rather not expose him/her to. If that’s the case, just come when the sports teams aren’t practicing.
The playground is well situated far from Sheridan, and a bit back from the parking lot. The playground floor is made of wood chips which aren’t very messy and don’t get hot in the summer.
There is only one play structure, so your kiddos may be playing with much older kids.
It seems like the parents here generally keep a close eye on their children.
Wonderful large gazebo with lots of tables.
Small porta potty far from playground.
Eating:
Many picnic tables under the large gazebo. Also has BBQ grills.

Shade for playing:
None.
Shade for parents to sit in while you watch the kids play:
Only under the gazebo, but it’s well situated to keep an eye on your kiddo.
Play Structures:
Just one large play structure for all ages. Plus the separate swing area: 2 regular, 2 for babies. The ground is wood chips, which don’t get as hot as other surfaces.

Fields/Running:
One long field for soccer (enough space for 3 soccer fields), another for baseball.

Several soccer fields to run on[/caption]
Mixed Age Kids:
Yes, would work due to the soccer fields, baseball diamond, etc. We like where the soccer field is in relation to the playground. It’s easy to keep an eye on a smaller kids on the playground while the bigger kid(s) run on the field.
Special Features:
None (I feel so bad writing that, but it’s just a nice neighborhood park.)
Parking:
Lots of parking right by playground.

Call of Nature:
Porta-Potty at the far end of the parking lot.
Our Favorite Feature:
How convenient the park is, and how large the gazebo was.

Have you seen the “What to Wear” fashion guides for portrait photography? Or perhaps seen the What to Wear For Family Photo Sessions boards on Pinterest? (Check out our own “What to Wear” Board/Collection here)
Many of them are exclusively for the kids, or start with children’s clothes and then add Mommy and Daddy.
I’m turning that on it’s head for this series, and starting with clothing ideas Mommy and Daddy.
This is suggestion #4 of 8 in our “2014 Warm Season Photo Fashion Guide.” Here are links to: idea number 1 and number 2, and number 3.
I love the bright cheery yellow (“freesia”) umbrella. Now I’m envisioning a concept session where everyone has bright umbrellas!
We wouldn’t even have to wait for the regular Broomfield afternoon rain…although it could be fun if we did!

Ah, another beautiful Summer day in Broomfield, Colorado. Grass is emerald green, baby birds chirping away for their parents, and kids splashing in the pool!
We love all the seasons here in Colorado, but Summer is especially laid back with lots of possible outdoor portrait locations.
As you can see in our portrait galleries, children and family sessions take place (mostly) outdoors.
But newborn portraits are done in-studio to keep that itty bitty brand new baby warm and snuggly.
If you have professional portraits set up for your new baby, you can find prep tips for parents in my Studio Magazine.
And once you are here, you’ll get to select from a wide variety of props! My favorite images are almost always of infant baby snuggled in Mommy or Daddy’s hands.
But the photos with props are pretty darn cute, too.
Here’s a before and after photo for the Hungry Caterpillar and Sock Monkey (from Amy @ Etsy)
Props Before, waiting for twin babies:
Props after, now featuring precious babies. How darn adorable!
