Berthoud Colorado Family, Newborn & Senior Photographer
I'm Susannah — a family, newborn, and senior photographer based right here in Berthoud, with nearly two decades of experience photographing Colorado families the way they actually are: real, warm, a little chaotic, and completely worth remembering. I specialize in relaxed, in-home sessions and outdoor portraits throughout Berthoud and the surrounding Front Range — and I know how to work with both sleepy newborns and kids who won't sit still. No stiff poses, no stressful directions. Just images you'll love.
Newborn + Maternity Photography in Berthoud
Berthoud families often ask me about documenting both pregnancy and those first weeks with a newborn — and yes, I do both.
The newborn stage is over so fast. And the weeks just before — that last stretch of pregnancy when everything feels both endless and fleeting — deserve to be documented too. There's something special about having photographs of both the anticipation and then the arrival.
Maternity Sessions
Berthoud has beautiful open spaces for maternity sessions — the reservoir path in late afternoon light, the quiet meadows near the Conservation Gardens, or simply your own home if you want something intimate and real. Sessions are relaxed and unhurried. You don't need a plan, a pose, or a perfectly decorated nursery. You just need to show up.
Newborn Sessions
In-home newborn sessions are my favorite way to document those first days — because your home is where the real story lives. The crib you painted. The window with the good morning light. The couch where everyone piles together for the very first time.
I come to you, anywhere in Berthoud or the surrounding Front Range. Sessions move entirely at your baby's pace — there's time for feeding, soothing, and all the unhurried snuggles. I'll gently wrangle siblings, help nervous partners relax, and keep everything as calm as possible. You just soak it in.
Berthoud Family Photography Sessions
I live just minutes from the Berthoud Reservoir and the Northern Water Conservation Gardens, and these nearby spaces have become favorite locations for relaxed family and maternity sessions throughout the year. They offer room to walk, talk, and let kids be themselves — without forcing moments or poses. And for expecting moms, the open spaces and natural light around Berthoud make for beautiful pregnancy portraits.
I also photograph families in their homes and yards throughout Berthoud. In-home sessions are especially meaningful for families who want images that capture everyday life — reading together on the couch, baking in the kitchen, or playing in the backyard.
Whether we meet near the reservoir or stay close to home, sessions are planned with intention and ease.
Berthoud High School Senior Photography
Preschool to kindergarten. Elementary to middle school. And then somehow, they're seniors — and you're already looking forward to them walking across the stage for their diploma.
This is the year to stop and document exactly who they are right now, before everything changes.
I photograph seniors from Berthoud High School and surrounding communities.
If your senior doesn't have location ideas yet, I'm happy to make suggestions — the reservoir path and open spaces around Berthoud photograph beautifully, and for more of a Colorado feel, there's Carter Lake or spots in nearby Lyons that are worth the drive.
I handle yearbook photo formatting and submission directly, so that's one less thing on your plate.
Have questions? I'd love to hear about your senior.
