Laura Mahony Photography
I met Laura through CrossFit Park Hill where we attended the 5am CrossFit class together. I noticed Laura as being a fun, energetic, extremely strong woman. After getting to know her a little better, I realized that she is a photographer outside of CrossFit.
Our family had not had any professional pictures taken since Shea was newborn….ALMOST two years ago….and we have NEVER had any as a little family of 3. I decided that Denver would be a perfect place to get some pictures done with a sweet friend in the business.
I was, admittedly, not an easy customer to please…sorry, Laura! However, Laura made it seem as though I wasn’t a bother at all! First, we needed to choose a location. Of course, I imagined the impossible and wanted close, clear pictures of us with the humongous Rocky Mountains in the background. Laura very politely and professionally let me know this was not going to be possible. She helped to find a location that matched what we were envisioning. As if things weren’t complicated enough with me, the road to the place we picked was closed on the day we planned for pictures. Laura calmly helped us find another spot for the same day!
Second, this Momma had to figure out what all three of us were going to wear. That is hard enough for me on my own, then adding the boys. I didn’t want to be too “matchy” (nightmares of the 80’s full jean on jean clad families!). Laura to the rescue, AGAIN! She took my texts of clothes and gently said “yes, that will look great,” or “Is there another color we can try?”. She really calmed my nerves.
Finally, the day of pictures I was nervous about everything…you know, a toddler taking professional pictures, a husband that wasn’t too thrilled I pulled him into taking professional pictures, and wanting to be easy subjects for our sweet photographer to catch some awesome shots! Laura was the epitome of professional, relaxed, and fun. You could tell this is “her environment” and that she loves what she does! Her interaction with Shea during pictures was THE BEST! I still don’t know how she got him to connect so well with her and the camera.
The day was perfect, the lighting was superb, and the session couldn’t have been any more relaxing and fun.
I would recommend everyone, especially with little ones, to see Laura for their pictures…if they could all just get to Denver! When we received the gallery of photos, we instantly fell in love with the shots she got, the beautiful scenery, and THE LIGHTING…..oh my! We had the hardest time picking our favorites they were all so beautiful. Thank you, again, Laura Mahony Photography for your help in getting some of our favorite pictures of my little family. Your professionalism and love of your career made this a wonderful experience for this stressed-out Mama.

As a guy, I could’ve thought of 1,000 things I’d rather do than take family pictures. However, I concur with everything Keli said. Laura was professional and easy to get along with. She made this process a lot less painful than I thought it would be. We loved ALL of the photos she sent us. So she gets 2 thumbs up from a guy’s perspective too. 😉
