Photography for WholeMind Psychology - Supporting youth and caregivers

When the opportunity presented itself to work with WholeMind Psychology, I was instantly in. As a parent, mental health and learning how to support young ones is a priority. We came together for some updated imagery for the brand, including updated headshots and lifestyle branding images (below).

If you are in Denver or New York, it’s worth looking into WholeMind Psychology and meeting their team. Thank you Dr. Eleanore Hall and Dr. Rachel Shelley for trusting me with your imagery.

WholeMind Psychology is a Denver therapy practice that specializes in youth anxiety, OCD, ADHD, and disruptive behaviors. Their therapists use research-backed treatments to empower youth with skills to overcome fears and grow in their confidence – as well as parent coaching services to support caregivers in navigating how to best support their kids.

Photography for Pediatric Craniosacral Therapy - Supporting Wellness for Babies and Moms

Parents of newborns in the Denver area have gained a valuable support system with my client, Carol Manno of Nurture Pediatric Craniosacral Therapy. If you’re new to craniosacral therapy, Carol’s practice specializes in treating babies with latch issues, tethered oral tissue, tongue-tie, torticollis, plagiocephaly and tone issues.

Through our photo sessions, we tell the story of young patients and their families, creating a visual narrative beyond words that illustrate craniosacral therapy for the little ones. In addition, we captured the calming and gentle personality of Carol through headshots and personal branding portraits.

Carol utilizes a unique protocol that combines sensory and motor activities with craniosacral therapy, treating the root causes of conditions while promoting the development of a calm and resilient nervous system in babies. I was thrilled to witness this in person at our studio!

Take a look at some of our work below, which involved photography with a beautiful newborn and an incredible 6 month old with their mothers.

Snap and Sweat: Capturing the Adorable Postnatal Mama + Baby Fitness Class

Today, I'm sharing a heartwarming and downright adorable adventure in photography: capturing the vibrant world of a postnatal fitness class with babies. If you think fitness and babies don't mix, think again, because Claire of The Clairity Collective hosts the best sessions for moms and their little ones.

I was invited to capture images of the cutest fitness class setup ever – a light and bright room with yoga mats, beautiful plants, and an army of strollers at Nurture - A Wellcare Marketplace in the Denver Highlands neighborhood.

There was something genuinely heartwarming about the whole experience of watching Claire lead a fitness hour for fellow moms and babies. Together, they were not just getting in shape; they were forming a community of support and education.

Thank you to Claire and Athleta for inviting me to capture these images. If you’re interested in photography coverage for your event, book a Classic Session today. For ongoing and regular photography coverage, consider my photography membership option. Definitely worth it for constant fresh imagery that will increase your bookings!
