SUMMIT COUNTY

Best places for a maternity shoot in Colorado? My top favorite epic location is Summit County because it has such diverse options for backgrounds. You want water? It’s got a reservoir and rivers. You want epic mountain scenes? They are plentiful. You want both? Done! Summit county is beautiful no matter what season you are shooting! Winter time can be so magical with the falling flakes. The summertime the fields have blossoming wild flowers. It’s about a 2 hourish drive from Denver metro making it doable as a day trip or turn your session into an overnight date with your special one.

best places for a maternity shoot in Colorado-rocky mountain national park

ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK

Rocky Mountain National Park comes in as a close second for me. You do need to purchase a permit for this location but it is worth it! This location also features epic mountain vistas as well as more wooded, prairie, and lake views. Trail Ridge Road makes you feel as if you were on top of the world however, it does close when the weather turns cold so if this is a location you are loving, I would suggest a summer/early fall shoot.

You often see wildlife while visiting such as elk, moose, and the cute little marmots on the tundra. The wind can be a bit insane up high but if you have a flowy gown, it’s gonna give as all the dreamy vibes! Again, this is about a 2ish hour commute from Denver and sometimes driving to locations in the park add another half hour. So plan for a day trip or make this an overnight stay! The historic Stanley hotel is located nearby in Estes or stay at one of their gorgeous hotels in the area.

PAINT MINES

Want something truly different for your maternity shoot? The Paint Mines located in Calhan, CO is like a whole new world. Paint Mines are located about 45 minutes east of Colorado Springs or about 2 hours from the Denver metro. This park does require a permit but again is so worth it! Sandstone capped Spires tower above you and the colorful tones along the rock gives paint mines it’s descriptive name. It is a bit of a walk to get to some of the more epic locations from the main parking lot but you have beautiful views and often wildlife along the way. The greenery growing really pops among the sand and rock. Definitely a site to see whether you choose to do your maternity photos here or just come for a day trip.

DON’T WANNA DRIVE TOO FAR? I GOT YOU!

My studio location sits on 5 beautiful acres in Castle Rock, CO and only about a 30 minute commute from the Denver Tech Center and about the same distance from the Springs. The property has an amazing view of Castle Rock and the western front range making for epic sunsets and views. Often, you will see some of our wild life such as turkeys, deer, hawks, and occasionally fox! We have lots of different locations around the property with different types of settings. We have pines, open fields, a stream (sometimes it drys out), rock formations, oak trees, and tons of gorgeous little wildflowers in the spring and summer.

The best part about booking a shoot with me here, we have an indoor option! So whether your wanting studio and outdoor maternity or just need a backup option when the weather is inclement, you are covered!

I also have a massive wardrobe collection of over 250 gowns/outfit choices for the expecting mom which saves you the hassle of shopping, searching, and buying something you may only wear once! I can also help you style your family to match!

We have onsite hair and makeup as well so all you have to do is show up and we take care of you-giving you time to relax before your session. My turnaround times is very quick so expect to see your images in a minimum of 2 weeks after your shoot.

Denver’s Best Maternity Photographer

02.21.23

If you have stumbled across this post searching for Denver’s Best Maternity Photographer, let me explain why!

I have specialized in working with women for over half my life! Its truly a passion of mine and I wake up grateful to live my passion everyday. I want this experience to be stress free, fun, and something you never forget. So let me tell you some of the perks of choosing me as your maternity photographer!

Not sure what to wear?

No problem! I have over 200 maternity gowns that I have purchased just for your use. My gowns vary in styles, colors, and textures. Every season I try to add new wardrobe items. Worried about gowns fitting? Please don’t. Most of these gowns either have lots of stretch or corset backs. I have NEVER had a client that didn’t find something they loved and fit.

You can view my gowns by clicking here and scrolling down.

ACCESSORIES

Not only do I have an extensive collection of wardrobe, I also have massive accessory options. From hats to winter shawls, to necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. We can glam you up head to toe!

PERSONAL WARDOBE STYLING APPOINTMENTS

With every maternity session, we allow about 15 minutes to choose a gown. For some, this might be not enough time or maybe you want to know ahead of time what to wear. You can schedule an appointment with me prior to your shoot to come in and try gowns. This is great for those that like to plan ahead or maybe want to coordinate family outfits. A personal styling appointment also gives you the chance to try a wide variety of looks to see what you love best! I am also happy to help you chose and or plan out what would go best for family members.

ONSITE HAIR AND MAKEUP SERVICES

I love to give you the option to add on professional hair and makeup services. Having a professional glam you up is quite a treat and a great way to relax before your shoot. My artists work with all skin types and hair textures. Bring a photo of inspiration for how you would like to look or ask them for their recommendation!

Want to do your own? No problem. This is an add on service so you don’t have to pay for it if you opt out.

OUTDOOR OR INDOOR STUDIO?

I have an indoor studio that sits on 5 beautiful acres facing the foothills. No matter what your preference, I got you covered! My absolute favorite is shooting outside at golden hour. Can’t beat that beautiful sun glow!

DESTINATIONS

As much as I love my studio, I also love to get out and explore. I often drive to the Summit county or Estes for some majestic mountain views but I also have hopped on a plane to meet my clients. Please inquire for a travel quote!

WHAT ABOUT MY FAMILY?

As a mom myself, I know how important it is to have your loved ones included. You have the option to add family members to your shoot, even the furry ones!

QUICK TURNAROUND

Your images will be ready for ordering within 2 weeks from your shoot (often its much less but this gives me some wiggle room if something comes up!). Once you order your images, digitals will be ready in as soon as 1-5 days. They are edited when you view them for ordering but I don’t do skin retouching or technical edits until you choose the ones you want to keep.

RETOUCHING

I want you to look like you! However I know how hard we all are on our bodies, and it’s even harder when expecting. I do a offer a slight skin softening to fine lines, wrinkles, and stretch marks at no extra charge. If you prefer no skin retouching, I am proud of you and happy to provide them as is. If you prefer more skin retouching, there is an additional fee per image. Acne, scratches, scabs, rashes, can all be retouched without an extra fee.

FINE ART DIGITAL EDITS

I am now offering artistic digital edits as an add on. Take your images literally to another world. These images are best done with in studio sessions. Please inquire for pricing.

EXPECTING AND READY TO BOOK?

I always suggest inquiring as soon as possible for your maternity shoot. The earlier you inquire, the more date options you will have. If you deliver or God forbid you have a medical emergency before your shoot, I offer a full refund or you can use that deposit towards a family session.

During your 3rd trimester at 7 months seems to be the perfect timing for a maternity session. Some women prefer to go at 6 and some at 8 but I think 7 is perfect!

Denver’s Best Boudoir Photographer

02.21.23

Ginny haupert photography was named denver’s best boudoir photographer by not only one but two websites!

Wedding Rule and Peerspace have both named Ginny Haupert Photography as Denver’s Best boudoir Photographer! This is a title I don’t take lightly! I want to be the best for you! Boudoir photography pushes people out of their comfort zones and I want to do that as gently as I can. Whether you are looking into a boudoir experience for yourself or doing it to for someone special, I want this to be something you never forget and hopefully come back for more!

HOW DID I GET HERE?

It found me. Growing up I was never really sure where life would take me but I always had a passion for helping others and being a creative. When I was younger, I think I had more fun playing with my Barbies hair than story telling with them. In high school I was always changing my hair and learning new styles. By senior year I had enrolled in cosmetology school and my girlfriends were all coming to me for their prom hair. I loved that with a little time you could completely change someone’s look but also their attitude about themselves.

After my senior year, I went to college for meteorology, while still working in a salon to fund my schooling. It wasn’t long before I knew my weather career wasn’t what I thought it might be. Later, I changed my degree to entrepreneurship. I didn’t know what was next but always knew I wanted to be my own boss and create something exciting for myself.

Fast Forward

Fast forward a few years and I married my college sweetheart. He joined the Air Force and next thing I knew we were living in Washington state. I was still doing hair but also had 2 babies that kept me at home more. So I began to document all their little milestones with my new DSLR camera. I quickly fell in love with creating imagery that you could feel and immersed myself in every photography lesson I could find.

A few years in, I had friends and family start asking if they could pay me to take their photos. A whole new career path just fell into my lap. I shot families, newborns, kids, weddings, and basically anything I could! After a few years, I felt like I was still missing something…

WE MOVED TO COLORADO

We moved to Colorado in 2014 and my business was booming but I was feeling some burnout. I had someone reach out to me asking if I would shoot a boudoir session. To be completely honest, I was not confident about shooting this genre but it sounded so fun! Challenge accepted! I had a lot to learn about the genre but after that first shoot, I knew this was for me. I was missing that connection with women. The connection of helping them find their confidence. This was the perfect combo for me.

My boudoir work took off by word of mouth. A few years after building my portfolio and learning everything I could about this genre, I was able to open my first commercial studio in Cherry Creek. I started sharing a space with a florist and eventually I took over the whole 2,400 sqft space. After 5 years I was ready to take the next big step. This past summer I bought land in Castle Rock and designing a new studio build. It’s surreal to think this all started in a little room inside my house. Everyday I wake up with gratitude for all the women I have met throughout this journey. Every story has been so different. One thing I have learned about all of them, is they had trust in me. Trust to do something vulnerable. I don’t take that lightly and I will always strive to be the best boudoir photographer but also your friend. I got you!

Now that you know a little about me, aRE YOU READY FOR YOUR OWN BOUDOIR EXPERIENCE?

DENVER BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHER

As a Denver boudoir photographer, I love that with every client we get something a little different. Creating new styles, moods, and sets is so much fun. For Ms. L’s Denver Boudoir Shoot we started soft and sweet and finished with a little sass. I don’t want every photo to look the same so we really try to mix things up. If you have a vision for your shoot, I am happy to sit down with you and help create the boudoir shoot of your dreams. We start all shoots with professional hair and makeup so you can sit back and relax. I will go over all your outfits with you and start creating the vision.

Mrs. L’s first look was so soft and glam. Because her robe was so over the top, we had to go big with the set design. This little vanity set sets a mood straight out of Paris. The angel wings are such a fun addition to any shoot. Many of us grew up watching the Victoria Secret Fashion show and dreamed of wearing a pair of those runway wings. We have over 10 options for wings, some even being authentic from VS! We wanted to finish the shoot with some more moody images. I paired her black strappy outfit with my gold/green vintage set. It creates a glamorous but sexy vibe. The last look was so different and so much fun in our neon room. Here we play with color, light, and sparkle. Did you notice those boots!? They are available in the GHP wardrobe!
