Adorable Climbing Babies
There is very little in this world that I like more than seeing photos of babies born into adventure. Images of little ones enjoying beautiful wilderness, or rock climbing fun, make me giggly and happy and hopeful for all of our futures. In the last few weeks, I’ve run across some really great ones, and I just had to share!
Our good friends recently welcomed their first daughter into the world, and their amazing newborn photographer Raven Banning got creative with their climbing gear. How awesome is this!
Newborn Climber Baby
This is my favorite shot of our little G-man playing with our gear last summer. I was sorting out the Vedauwoo rack (aka WIDE GEAR) before our first trip of the year. Yeah, that cam is as big as he is, and he loves it!
Babies and Big Cams - Love!
This little beauty is the daughter of some friends who camped with us in Vedauwoo the summer I was pregnant. She had never seen climbers before. As Mark started getting racked up for the first climb of the morning, she walked right over, grabbed herself some slings, and started getting ready too! Ohmygosh it was so cute!

Do you have any favorite shots of kiddos climbing or enjoying nature? Share in the comments!
I LOVE that first shot. I was recently doing a newborn shoot with some friends that are climbers. I was thinking, how can I incorporate climbing gear? I never had that idea, and it is totally awesome!
I know! I love that picture so much that I begged them to let me write a whole blog post about it! We didn’t have a professional do newborn pictures of Gabe because he had some health problems early on (and we’re cheep), but seeing some of the creative stuff people do makes me wish I’d reconsidered. :) Oh well!
Love the pictures! I’ve got quite a few pics of my kiddos climbing/bouldering, but nothing like that top picture. What a genius idea :) Super cute.
Thanks for the comment, Haley! Yeah, I am really impressed with Raven’s work. Plus, she’s really nice. If you ever have a newborn in Northern Colorado, you should totally call her! :)
