Your photographer, Stephanie Marilee.

Your friendly neighborhood photographer is officially on portrait duty at TaDa Gymnastics, the best in Denver! You’ll see me on the gym + dance/cheer room at both Highlands and Broadway locations this summer, so please say hello as I capture the most joyful moments to lift up one a business that gives so much to our community.

If you’re a Denver business looking for consistent photography coverage, I have room for 3 - 5 partnerships. Take a look at the general monthly offering here: https://www.marilee.co/brands

Our goal is to create a fun and safe environment, while making it easy and accessible for families living in Denver. We want gymnastics not to be just for those aspiring for gold medals, but for every child looking to develop both physically and mentally.

Colorful Portraits at Hope Tank

Any photo Session booked with Marilee.co Portrait Photography at Hope Tank gives back 20% straight back to Hope Tank.

Colorful. Vibrant. Fun. Community driven. If this is your jam, check out Hope Tank in Denver. Hope Tank’s fresh creative event space is available for small gatherings that can further education, connections, and collaborations. The community is encouraged to bring your panel discussions, book groups, board meetings, small group work, art/craft classes, and body movement classes — all work beautifully in the space. 

What also works wonderfully in Hope Tank’s creative space is portrait photography and content creation. Marilee.co Portrait Photography has been so excited to create updated personal branding imagery for individuals who want to give back to Hope Tank, whose core value includes support of small businesses who give back to their communities.

Thank you to Erika Righter (That Hope Lady!), who is a leader in the idea that you can have fun AND do good. And thank you to Debbie Scheer for being one of the first supporters of photography in this amazing space.

Cheers to a Successful Portrait + Tampon Drive for I Support The Girls

Women’s Month occurs in March, and the best way to recognize and contribute for me as a photographer was to create a tampon drive for I Support The Girls, utilizing photography to help make dignity the norm.

Fellow creative photographer, Brooke Austin and I partnered together and hosted parallel events at The Denver Photo Collective, eventually raising funds and a trunk FULL of menstrual supplies for those in need.

Thank you to everyone who showed up and to everyone who spread the word. We made a difference.

Denver Newborn Photography at One Month Old

Whenever I take photos of a newborn baby, I fall in love every time! I proceed to go home and gush about how teeny tiny and squishy they are to my hubby... And then I hug my own babies in disbelief how big they've grown. Here are a few of my favorites from baby B’s newborn session with her family and grandparents.

p.s. The pink wrap that you see baby in was knitted by me while pregnant with my own little one. I’m so happy to have it in these photos. :) The grey overalls for baby is from Jamie Kay.

Erin's Personal Branding Portraits - Denver Studio Photography

I’m excited to share some new work with you all! It’s Women’s Month, and I’ll be taking your updated portraits every Tuesday between 11:30am - 1pm at The Denver Photo Collective. The following images are representative of what we might capture together while raising funds and collecting unopened tampon boxes for I Support The Girls — the most worthy cause for Women’s History Month.

Just over a year ago, I responded to another photographer’s model call for a motherhood session. There, I met Erin Lassahn. Being a momtographer (yes, I picked that up from an Instagram hashtag), it’s rare to be a focal point of a session. Erin provided that experience for me and my girls.

During that session, I saw something that perhaps only another photographer/parent can recognize with clarity. The constant drive that only grows after 15 years of experience. The hustle from a parent of multiple kids (she’s got twins!) who has no time to lose. The acceptance of only forward growth. And obviously the talent, because her captures were excellent.

If you aren’t able to attend my Motherhood Sessions on 5/6 and 5/7, Erin is shooting at our mothership studio The Denver Photo Collective on 4/23.

I’m honored to have taken these updated personal branding portraits, and look forward to working together more! Teamwork makes the dream work when you have a community of likeminded professionals who lift each other up. =) Love your new photos, Erin. Let’s kick some ass this year.
