Deangelo | Palmer High School Senior Portraits | Class of 2012

Deangelo and his cousin Charles both attend Palmer High School and play football, and since they’ve grown up together, it worked well to do their senior pictures to where they were both a part of each other’s session.  Deangelo’s session used downtown Colorado Springs, Colorado College campus, and Garden of the Gods for his locations.  We’ll post favorites from Charles’ session soon, so enjoy favorites of Deangelo now…

Enjoy senior year…we wish you all the best!

The Odette Family | Family Portraits at Cheyenne Canyon

This has to be one of the sweetest and most rewarding families to have photographed!  Like so many of our recent new clients, Katie found us through our Groupon deal.  She’s an amazing mom to her two boys who clearly adore her and know what a strong and awesome mom they have!  And she’s blessed to have her brother right there with her and the boys.  What a great family!  This was Katie’s first time having an outdoor professional photography session, and it just made me smile to show her these fantastic images of her family.  It’s just really special to be able to touch hearts through photography.  We truly appreciate and have loved serving Katie and her family!  We hope to see you back!!

Anthony + Jill | Wedding Photography at The Pinery in Black Forest, Colorado

Anthony & Jill’s wedding day was on June 4th.  We met Jill and her bridal party at Infiniti’s Hair Salon on the west side of town, and when we saw Jill’s mom for the first time, realized that we know each other from Woodmen Valley Chapel!  Jill & Anthony did all their vendor selections on their own, so we hadn’t known any of the parents until the wedding day and it was fun to have a connection there!  From the salon, we traveled to The Pinery in Black Forest, Colorado.  The Pinery is one of our favorite venues in Colorado Springs, not only because it is just a fantastic setting for weddings but also because the staff is fantastic and great to work with.  We enjoyed capturing the moments of Jill and Anthony getting ready and then their special “first moment” to see each other.  The ceremony and reception were great, and they had quite the lively toasts from the maid of honor, best man (his complete with a serenade!), and both fathers.  Their cake topper was especially unique…they had a place in Manitou Springs do a custom blown glass piece for the penguins.  Penguins are my favorite animals, so I loved it!

We had a great time with everyone on their wedding day – Congratulations to you both!

Enjoy some of our favorites!

Great pictures. The last one on the dance floor was a favorite. It is always great seeing a happy bride, especially when I grew up down the street and haven’t seen her in years.

Congrats Jill and Anthony

Anthony + Jill | Engagement Portraits at Garden of the Gods

Anthony and Jill’s wedding was June 4th at The Pinery, so the wedding post is coming next, but in the meantime, we wanted to share favorites from their engagement session that we did at Garden of the Gods just two days prior to the wedding.  Jill grew up here in Colorado Springs, but her life with Anthony is out in California.  Logistics of the wedding day made it difficult to have the time to travel from Black Forest to Garden of the Gods, so using their engagement session to feature this favorite place in Colorado Springs was perfect!  And with the session so close to the wedding, they invited along their entire wedding party to take part as well!  This was one of those days when Colorado Springs was blanketed in smoke from the fires burning in Arizona, and it sure made for a unique and different feel in their pictures.  Enjoy our favorites from this fun and special session with Anthony & Jill!

Grace | Destination High School Senior Portraits from Texas | Class of 2012

Grace and her family have just been so fantastic to meet and photograph!  They are from Texas (I spent much of my growing up years and college years there, so that’s a fun connection to share with them!) and have always loved traveling to Colorado over the years.  When they weren’t finding what they were looking for in Texas, they started looking in Colorado Springs for photographers and found us!  They are a close-knit, gracious, and faith-filled family, and we truly hope that it does work to see them again this fall for a family session.  Grace’s high school senior pictures were taken at Cheyenne Canyon, Stratton Open Space, and Garden of the Gods – it was important to her to feature fantastic natural landscapes and rustic Colorado for her pictures, and these places were perfect.  Her dad has said that he’s been “shamelessly” showing her pictures around, and we welcome any fellow Texans to plan a trip out to the mountains of Colorado Springs for senior portraits or family portraits with us!

Grace’s mom had her camera during the session and took some great “action” images of Jon “at work” (some people might call it play, but it is what we do for a living…are we blessed or what?!?!), so just like our previous post from Clay’s high school senior session, you’ll get a little sneak peek at how the setting looks and then what the final portrait looks like.  And if you love learning a little bit about Jon’s set up for his portraits (you’ll see his off camera lighting and also Grace’s dad assisting with a reflector in a few of the action images), feel free to check out Clay’s Post and also our information on our Photography Classes & Workshops.
