Garden of the Gods Family Portraits

Our final months of 2010 were the busiest we have EVER been! We had almost 100 sessions during a 10 week stretch, and we loved it! It’s been nice to enter the new year and have a little bit of a breather, and this breather is what we need to catch up on some blog posts! Garden of the Gods is probably our most requested location for portraits, so we’re sharing some highlights from earlier this fall…

Kay and Erik found us through our groupon and used their session for engagement portraits. They have two great dogs that we photographed as well. They are a fun couple and we’re very thankful for their dedication and service in our military. They’ll be back to Colorado in May for their wedding in Estes Park. Enjoy these last few months of your engagement!

The Martinez family was great to have back. Their daughter, Marissa, is in the Class of 2011, and we did her senior portraits over the summer. We loved photographing their whole family later this fall.

The Kempe family also found us through groupon. They are a fun-loving, high energy family…there’s 5 kids and 4 are boys! We also were able to time their session to include their grandmother in some of the portraits. Our top favorites from their session were individuals of their daughter and their youngest son. The youngest just melts my heart with this picture…

Kirsten again found us through groupon, and since a possible move overseas may be in her future, had a great time taking portraits in Garden of the Gods to remember her time in Colorado Springs. Kirsten is vibrant, easygoing, and I felt like we were fast friends in getting to know her during our time together. She’s also got to be one of the best aunts to her sister’s kids because she was just so fun to watch with Natalie and Tyler.

More updates to come!

My favorite photo has to be the little boy crawling in the grass. That and the little girl and the amazing view behind her.

Hudson | One-Year Baby Portraits

Hudson had his final portrait session with awhile back, and we just LOVE how he fully embraced eating cake to end his session! We hope these favorite pictures of ours from this session bring a smile to your face as they do to ours! Happy Birthday, Hudson!!

Christian | Pine Creek High School Senior Portraits | Class of 2011

Christian initially came in for just the yearbook session and then we caught up with him later this past fall for his full session. Christian is an accomplished hockey player, so part of his session featured ice hockey and the end of his session roller hockey. He plays on the same team as Brock, and both of those boys have dreams to play in the NHL – we say, go for it!! Christian’s session also included time at Garden of the Gods, Rampart Range Road, and downtown Colorado Springs.

Christian – we’ve been very impressed by your accomplishments and wish you the best as you finish your time at Pine Creek High School and look ahead to college at Denver Univ, Colorado College, and pursuing your hockey dreams!

Here are some of our favorites from your sessions!

Chris | ECA Class of 2011 High School Senior Portraits

Chris and his family found us through our groupon deal and did both his senior portraits and family portraits with us. Chris ended up having those two sessions just 2 days apart since they, like us, are members of Woodmen Valley Chapel and both Chris & his sister were in the annual production of “Scrooge” and had quite the rehearsal schedule happening at the same time as needing to get portraits taken! It’s been great getting to know their whole family. Chris loved the urban look for his pictures, so we used downtown Colorado Springs for his session. Enjoy our favorites!

Chris, our best to you as you finish out senior year at ECA and begin a new chapter in your life next fall!

HAPPY NEW YEAR from Our Family to Yours!

With as exciting as the final months of 2010 have been, we are really excited to welcome in 2011 and see what it holds for our family and our business! A HUGE thank you to all of our families who support our business and give us the opportunity to do what we love! We look forward to seeing both new and familiar faces in the New Year!

Back in November, our good friend and associate photographer, Daron Short, photographed our family at Red Rock Canyon. Jon in turn photographed Daron, his wife, Rachael, and their adorable dog, Belle. It was a fun time and the first time since our wedding that Jon and I have been officially photographed ourselves! It was hard for Jon to be on the other side of the camera, yet it was such a fun time for our family. These are a few of our favorites from our family session!

-Jon, Lindsay, Natalie, and Tyler
