From our family to yours,
Jon & Lindsay
Sammie is one of Air Academy High School’s newest graduates! She’s a social butterfly and outspoken and loves our Colorado landscape. She’s participated in tumbling and cheerleading in past years and chose to focus on her studies during senior year. With high school completed, she’s looking ahead to a career as a forensic pathologist. Along the way toward that ultimate goal, she plans to complete training as a radiologist. We know she’s got a bright future ahead of her!
For her senior portraits session, she loved our one-hour Senior Session at Garden of the Gods. It gave her all the red rocks, mountain views – especially of Pikes Peak, golden fields, and the perfect setting for silhouettes.

We are so excited to share portraits from our mini-session day in May! We offer these limited opportunities for family mini-sessions each year, and much like our high school senior mini-sessions, they are wonderful opportunities for our high quality photography within a simplified session structure. Our last mini-session event for 2016 will be on July 9th in Cheyenne Cañon, and if you’d love to take part in that, please contact our Studio at 719-291-9798. Spaces are limited and filled on a first come, first served basis.
Our mini-session event in May was at Garden of the Gods, and we’ve had so much fun with each of these families. Some are returning families and some brand new; all of them excited for wall art for their homes. We love creating awesome portraits for our families, and we equally love matching favorite portraits with the highest quality prints and products. In our own home, we have canvases and groupings of framed portraits decorating our walls and showing the progression of our kids over the last 8 years. We know firsthand how much we love seeing these portraits each and every day. Memories are remembered as we view them. We know each of these families will share this experience. All too often in our digital world, pictures stay trapped as computer files or remain unseen on a disc buried in a drawer. They are often simply shared in the social media world. We too love many of the benefits of digital and social media. Yet, deep down, we all know that we connect differently with the tangible. Deep down, we want to leave a legacy beyond our Facebook or Instagram accounts. At the heart of our business are the tangible prints and products that give each of our families precious legacy pieces to love in the present and pass down to the future generations.

We know lots of high school seniors dream about our multi-hour Senior Experience photography session; however, for others, even our one-hour Senior Session feels like too much! Each senior is different in their thoughts and goals for their senior portraits, and we believe we have a great session structure for everyone. Our Senior Portrait Mini-Sessions have amazing advantages and benefits to a great handful of seniors each year. We truly believe it’s where simplicity meets artistry. In just 20 minutes, Jon can do amazing portraits – including with an outfit change! This session is a perfect fit for seniors who want quality yet are looking for a simplified approach. When you just need 10-15 portraits to choose from for a great yearbook submission and keepsakes for your family, consider our Mini-Session! This session is also a great way to spend less creating the portraits and save more to invest in our professional-quality prints and products. Our mini-sessions help many families do more with their photography budget. But enough talking…we’ll let samples from a handful of our Class of 2016 Mini-Sessions show you how 20 minutes and two outfits may be all you need.
Congratulations to Alex, one of Discovery Canyon’s newest graduates!
Alex has a thoughtful and quiet personality and excels in her academics. She was a member of the yearbook club during her time in high school. She chose Garden of the Gods as the setting for her senior photography session. The best parts about choosing Garden of the Gods are the iconic views of Colorado Springs, wonderful variety of settings within the park, and the abundance of mountain views.
We wish her the best as she enjoys the start of college studies in the fall!

Beautiful!
Rest in peace, Tyler. Take care of the animals up in Heaven and we look forward to meeting you there at the zoo.
God, please take care of Tyler and his Mom, Dad and sister. For this, we pray.
