Colorado Springs Family Photographer - Kayla and Zach

Downtown...I simply love going downtown to shoot.  So many different angles, places and buildings to shoot.  It was so fun for me to photograph this sweet mom and her son.  The way they would interact and laugh at each other...made me smile.  Zach's big blue eyes and laid back personality...even in FREEZING weather at 5 months...I was impressed.  Such a great session!  Enjoy just a few pics from that morning! 

Colorado Springs Wedding Photographer - Jordan and Travis and a sweet engagement

Okay, I'm just going to say this once...well, I might mention it a lot later but Jordan and Travis...you guys are gorgeous.  Yes, I said this.  ;p  I absolutely loved this session.  Because we chose two different locations...one downtown Colorado Springs and another on the foothills of Garden of the Gods.  Completely opposite, different textures and both places I love to shoot at.  Its interesting...Jordan chose the city and Travis the views of the mountains...but both of them complimented and meshed well with the others choice.  Laughing and going a long with whatever was happening at the moment.  I don't think I've met a more laid back couple.  And Jordan, you rocked that strapless dress AND it was probably about 40 degrees downtown with NO sun.   Lets just say you are really good at pretending we were in a very warm place.  And on a side note...your shoes...are fabulous.  Yes, I have a thing for beautiful shoes.  June 30th could not get her fast enough...so looking forward to your wedding!  I know it will be the perfect combination of both of you...

Colorado Springs Family Photographer - A sweet downtown Colorado Springs Mini Session

The day could not have been better.  It was a random heat wave for Colorado Springs...almost 70 degrees in DECEMBER.  Those are my favorites.  Yup, its so random and it makes me feel happy.  ;p  Shooting downtown...there is just a fun energy to being in a city.  I love it.  Love the different textures that I get to play around with.  PLUS, what I loved about this session...I got to shoot with my new camera.  Uh, huh...my man got me a new Nikon to add to my business.  Love him and the support he provides. 

But back to this sweet session...Tara and Jackson...they look SO much a like.  The blue eyes and blond hair...gorgeous both of you.  The clothes Jackson was wearing...A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E.  And he was so all boy running around seeing if he could throw his hat on top of a building.  Yes, a really, really tall one might I add.  But he wanted to hold my hand and was sweet...so it was such a cool contrast.    And Tara, you are beautiful and so kind.  I've so enjoyed getting to know you. And watching you with your son, you are simply a great mother.  :)  

So enjoy a few of our pics from that beautiful afternoon.   

Colorado Springs Family Photographer - Matt, Camille, Brit and Eliza

Oh my goodness...LOVE this family.  I've mentioned before that I have a thing for sweet southern accents...and this family did not disappoint.  Soft southern drawl you could say.  I always wanted that...

This session, so sweet and at the perfect time of day to add what is the best tool in my camera bag..the light.  Natural sweet sunshine.  I am always curious as to why photographer's would use flash in a beautiful natural setting where the sun just wraps around your client.  As my Dad would say, different isn't better or worse...just different.  psst...if you are a flash user I highly recommend giving that gorgeous sun a chance.  ;p 

Eliza, I was able to capture her sweet newborn photos and this sweet little girl has been a thing of beauty since day one.  And I was so excited to capture her sweet 6 month pics!  Such a delicate feminine looking baby...and the way she would giggle when Camille would tickle her toes or smile at Matt when he would lift her up...or even Brit, okay so she might have enjoyed pulling on her hair but that is a major sign of love.  Brit would just smile and continue to make Eliza laugh.  Oh, and if you notice that sweet ring on Eliza...that was Camille's ring when she was a little girl.  Such a beautiful gift and ring to pass on to each generation. 

But Brit, yes, she is pure gorgeous.  Loved watching her...the way she would be so helpful or talk to her family.  Really, that sweetness is what captivated me with her. 

So here are a few pics from that sweet evening! 

Colorado Springs Family Photographer - Carrie, Vince and Carter

I have so enjoyed the last few sessions downtown.  There is a certain energy and beauty that can be found just walking around and watching people.  Or the beautiful and creative store fronts the store owners put into their business.  Downtown Colorado Springs reminds me of my home town...small enough to not get lost in but big enough to feel like its a city..if that makes sense... ;p 

When Carrie first got out of the car (Vince dropped them off to go find a parking spot...just from that I knew I was going to love this family)  I thought...wow she is BEAUTIFUL!  Than her son, came running around the corner with his blond, curly hair and big blue eyes...lets just say, my heart might have melted a bit.  He is just as sweet as he is handsome.  Loved watching him laugh and snuggle with his parents.  Vince and Carrie, beautiful, kind and funny...thank you so much for having me take your photos!  I so enjoyed it! 

Enjoy a few of our pics that evening...

Colorado Springs High School Senior Photographer - Kelsey

Kelsey wanted to have a more urban feel to her session...and downtown Colorado Springs fit her perfectly.  Alleys, retro theaters, a piano bar (don't worry we stayed on the outside... ;p  ) The contrast of so many unique locations made for a very cool senior session.  She seriously rocked this session. 

Not only is she beautiful but she is funny and SO sweet.  So excited for you and where you are headed.  Enjoy this last crazy year of high school...my senior year was one of my favorites!   And Kelsey, you may have the best cheek bones I have seen on anyone...yes, that sounds weird...but you are simply a crazy beautiful girl.
