10 Questions with Ana, Stylish Urban Family Portraits – Washington Park in Denver

Denver Family Portraits - Stylish Urban Photos at Washington Park - Client Interview

  1. Ana, tell us a little bit about your family…
We are a mixed bunch! Two teenage daughters, my little baseball player son and hard working husband. We try and make our family time the most important time.
  1. What made you decide this was the time to do a photo session?
We felt this is a perfect time in everyone’s life to celebrate with a family photo shoot, and look back at this time with appreciation via the portraits.
  1. Was there anything you were nervous or worried about before the session?
It’s always nerve wrecking to be in front of a camera. In the end we found that just being ‘us’ gave the best photographed memories.
  1. How did the actual  photo session go?
It went great. It was a bit of a struggle getting the entire family up at 4:00 am and ready for a golden hour (sunrise) shoot but we made it. Wash Park was a perfect choice, weather couldn’t have better and we had a bit of help in the gardens!
  1. What did you think or feel when you saw your final photos at the viewing session? 
The presentation was amazing and it was so much fun! One of our family members wasn’t able to make it and she missed out on a very special experience.
  1. What made you choose Natascha Lee Studios?
My daughter Lucia was referred by her modeling agency for model portfolio headshots and I loved how Natascha had such lively and patient interactions with her during the first shoot. I was immediately inspired to have her photograph the entire family!
  1. What do you hope your children will say/feel/think years down the road when looking at these images?
How much fun it was, how those years shaped all of our lives.. That they remember the special dynamic of our family and see the love we all have for one another.
  1. Any advice to other families before their photo sessions?
During the initial viewing and picking of the photos it helps to view them as large as possible to identify any issues you want to have edited/Photoshoped before the image is printed. I didn’t realize how just the tiniest things jump out at you and is distracting from such a beautiful photo.
  1. How did you feel/what did you think when received your order/had your products delivered?
I was amazed!!! Shocked and so impressed by the professional presentation, quality of work and care that Natascha goes through to see a smile on everyone’s face. Bravo Natascha! We will definitely be back!

Thanks Ana! I has so much fun getting to know you and your family – I know we are already talking about Spring portraits and I can’t wait! Those kiddos change so quickly! You are wise to capture them regularly!

Westminster, Colorado: Sweet Sleeping Boy Girl Twin Babies (Infant and Newborn Portraits) – Natascha Lee Studios

Yay! Spring in Westminster and Broomfield: tuplips and daffodils are up! Trees are budding out. The sun hangs around a little longer each day. Brightly colored patio furniture in all the stores. Lettuce are snap peas are planted.  And our Spring Flower Sessions (great idea for family portraits) are under way.  I love meeting new portrait client families as well as seeing clients come back year after year for annual family portraits.

What a happy day!

Speaking of happy day, it was made even better by this lovely testimonial from a recent newborn portrait client. Can you even believe how beautiful, lovely and handsome their newborn girl/boy twins are?

“My husband and I were thrilled to bring our tiny twins to have Natascha do our newborn photos. We had given her a few ideas /preferences but were most pleased with how she just let her creativity flow! She captured the personality of our two little ones so perfectly and I am forever grateful for the memories and beautiful pieces of art I will always have to look back on. She also really knew how to work with new mommies and daddies and had the needed patience to get great pics of newborns with their own agendas!! Thanks a million Natascha!” -Nicole and Corey, Westminster, Colorado

How to make your photographer's day: Natascha Lee Studios

in writing how much your portraits mean to them. And if you want to make them super happy, tell them more than once. Here is a recent string of messages from a wonderful client. Absolutely made my day…three times!!!! Here is the first one she sent, after the session:

I was so pleased with the photo session this morning.  You certainly have a way with newborns and their families.  I can not wait to see the photos, I know you got some good ones.  Thank you again for working with our short notice. Caroline Rekoff
A few days later, after I posted the sneak peak. She is referring to seeing the entire gallery: (This is my favorite!)
I can’t wait to see the rest, I have gotten so much joy out of the sneak preview, I hope my heart can stand all your glorious work at once. Caroline Rekoff
And once she saw her final gallery:
They are marvelous photos, job well done. I love  your work. Caroline Rekoff

Oh Caroline, thank you so much for your wonderful words.  So many people don’t take the time to share their kind words with others! Thank YOU for sharing.

A Lovely Client Testimonial from Local Artist Amy Z of ZaneyBaby | Custom Outdoor Family Photography by Westminster, Colorado Natascha Lee Studios

Client testimonials rock my world! Here’s a lovely one from one of my Fabulous Fall in Colorado portrait sessions:

Natascha is a great photographer to work with! I have been fortunate enough to partner with her for product shots for my business, as well as family photos. She is wonderful with children and can get my usually challenging toddler to smile and engage with her! Thank you Natascha for all of your hard work and wonderful photographs! -Amy Z.
 

By the way, Amy is a fabulous crochet artist with wonderful items for sale on Etsy. I am lucky enough to have an extensive selection of her her lovely props and use at least one of them in each of my my newborn sessions.

Below is one of my favorite images from their Fabulous Fall Portrait Session held in Westminster, Colorado – just look at the sunlight filtering through the changing Aspen and Cottonwood leaves..

I esp.  love the look on their little boy as he gazes down at Mommy and Daddy kissing!

Client Testmonial from Rejuvanest for Portraits & Interior Photography by Natascha Lee Studios (Denver, Colorado Professional Photography)

I opened my mailbox today to find this lovely, lovely testimonial:

Thank you so much, Brenda, your words made my day even brighter!

And if you haven’t had the chance to check out Rejuvanest (winner of Westword Best Of, and 5280 Magazine Top of the Town),

I highly recommend you go check out her lovely store.

I was drawn to the fabulous baby gifts, including the stylish owl pictured here.

 
A collaborative opportunity allowed me to work with Natascha.  How lucky am I to have had her grace my boutique, Rejuvanest.   I love how she captured the essence of the nest.  She was here, then there… so quick to snap a shot that enabled a viewer to see a panoramic view, which isn’t easy to do.  She took adorable photos for mom and baby as well as lingerie and jewelry.  And this is the best part: she took photos of me that I couldn’t resist, and that is the rare bird that can do that.  Hats off to Natascha!
