  • WELCOME!

    Welcome to Michele Schanker Photography!

    We are a modern and contemporary photography studio based in Thornton, CO. However we serve most of the Northern Denver Metro area including Boulder.

    We specialize in kids and infant portraits. But we are also available for your wedding, family, and high school senior photography needs.

    We offer all custom photography sessions. Meaning we find out what you like/don't like, a special location that you would like to shoot at, and if you have any products in mind. This is not a box studio experience we are committed to personalizing all sessions to your wants and needs.

McKay Lake Bike Park

Do you live in the northern metro area? Do your kids love to ride their bikes? If so then check out the new bike park. At first I thought it was just big hills for experienced riders and then I saw the small section while driving by this weekend. It has a beginners area that is rated green, like a ski trail. I took my kids today, ages 6 and 3. They had a blast! My 3 year old rode her balance bike. There were hills, bridges, rocks. It was so much fun. They’ve been asking to go back again. There is no shade so beware if you hate heat like me.

Baby JJ {Colorado Newborn Photographer}

Meet baby JJ! She was just adorable. At only 5 days old, when she was asleep she was hard asleep and I was able to change swaddle wraps, positioning and headbands a lot. She was so sweet!

My own kids are 3 and 6 now, so every time I get a newborn its so hard to imagine them ever being that small!

Mehaffey Park {Loveland, Colorado}

My kids are 3 and 6 and I love to venture with them and get away from our normal places. We live in north Thornton but I grew up in area where I had to drive 30 minutes to get most anywhere. Therefore I don’t mind venturing into other towns. Yesterday we drove up to Loveland. We took the kids to a new playground that they loved.

We went to Mehaffey Park

Our kids loved this park so much that they asked to go twice! I didn’t get a picture of it but they had this awesome swing that two riders used and had seats like the little ziplines. There were also logs to climb through. Lots of swings including one of those oodle swings. It really was a great park.

I am going to start a playground series on my blog showcasing different parks in Colorado and this is the first.

If you are ever in Loveland, check out this park. There is a lake near the playground as well and lots of picnic tables.

There are some great breweries and even cider in Loveland…so go up check out the playground and venture out to a new brewery. When we went my mom was in town visiting and she likes cider. So we went to Climb Hard Cider
