    Why Choose Aspire Images Denver

    When most people think of “maternity photography” they generally think of a side-profile bump photo taken in the bathroom or any variety of simple photos with hands on the pregnant tummy. And thank goodness we are past that! By choosing Aspire Images for your maternity portraits, you are saying that you don’t want the “traditional, boring baby-bump photos”.

    Here’s How We Stand Apart

    Bring New Perspective

    I bring a new perspective to maternity photography. I believe that there is nothing more beautiful, or empowering than pregnancy and my goal is to showcase that beauty and strength in portraits that you will be proud to share and pass down for generations.

    Photos Are Unique To You

    I believe that maternity photos should be unique, elegant and classy. No more side-profile bathroom selfies! As a Denver maternity photographer, I understand there are many options to choose from. It is my mission to bring you something unique. Something that you can’t find with every photographer out there.

    Lasting Memories to Cherish

    Maternity and newborn portraiture are among my favorites! My goal as your maternity photographer is to capture that lovely maternal glow in classy, tasteful portraits that will be lasting memories to cherish. Each session is designed with the you to ensure your satisfaction and vision of the session are met.

    Goddess Maternity Sessions

    Even within my own maternity portraiture style, there are variations. You have the option for studio maternity portraits, outdoor maternity portraits with a partner and/or children, or a Goddess Maternity Session. Sessions can be very modest, or revealing in nature and are ultimately about your comfort level and vision for your photos.

    Here are a few ways you can do that!
    Studio Maternity Portraits

    I make the studio cater to individual preferences and comfort to create a memorable maternity photography session.

    Outdoor Maternity Portraits

    Capture the essence of motherhood amidst the beauty of nature with Aspire Images’ outdoor maternity portraits. Our skilled photographers understand the significance of this special phase in your life and aim to immortalize it against the serene backdrop of the great outdoors.

    Partner and/or Children

    Pregnancy is a heartwarming journey, a time that celebrates the magic of life and love. As the baby bump grows, so does the excitement and anticipation. A maternity shoot with a partner and children offers a fabulous opportunity to capture these stunning moments, creating memories that last a lifetime.

    Goddess Maternity Session

    Pregnancy is a transformative time in a woman’s life, and what better way to honor this phase than with a goddess maternity session? These sessions are not just about capturing the beauty of your growing bump but celebrating the empowered, glorious, and divine essence of motherhood.

    Other Info

    Best timeframe for maternity portraits is between 32-36 weeks. Usually the backend of that timeline is better. We want your bump to be well developed so it can shine in your pictures!

    The option to do a combination of studio and on-location shooting is available with any maternity session (standard or Goddess) for an additional $75.

    Clients Reviews

    I'll start by saying I'm super picky. I know a lot of photographers and used to work in the industry myself, but the talent and expertise Michelle had when she took our Family and Infant pictures are outstanding! I also had the opportunity to accompany her on a Maternity Goddess session and can I say WOW. Michelle's calm, quiet and joyful energy during the shoot brought out the best in our family and little ones. And her attention to detail in the finish work allowed us to shine and celebrate during our photo viewing instead of stress. I would recommend her ((hands down)) to anyone looking to have timeless and professional images to cherish your memories!

    We met Michelle through my husband's coworker after we had our first baby and he had recommended her as a newborn photographer. Michelle is an amazingly talented photographer with incredible patience (VERY important when working with babies!). She listened to my visions and helped bring them to life with the most beautiful photos I have seen (and I spent a lot of time on Pinterest beforehand 😂). We loved her work so much that we did 4/8/12month photo sessions as well and then annual photos after that. We have since had a second child and she again blew us away with her talent, creating photographs that had a similar theme to our first baby's session (per my request) but were not identical and had its own twist. If you are looking for the highest quality photographs with a photographer who is easy to work with, call Michelle. You won't regret it.

    We found Michelle for newborn pictures of our little girl, and have been so happy and thankful to have found her! She is one of the most patient people we know; the newborn session was so relaxing (we almost fell asleep!) and Michelle was so gentle with our little one, she looked so peaceful. Michelle was able to get a few different kinds of shots in for us to choose from. We really didn't know what to expect but have been so thrilled, we decided to do the whole first year of milestone pictures---looking forward to the cake smash! Michelle is an ultimate professional in everything she does. Every detail in the step of this process has been thoughtful and welcoming, and the quality is simply top-notch. It has truly been a pleasure to have her share this experience with us and also to get to know her, she is a treasure! I would very, very highly recommend her to anybody considering photos of their little bundles of joy!
