Morgan just came to pick up her order today, and it’s always so fun to deliver an order to a family. It’s the final part of the whole experience of having professional portraits taken, and while we like to think that we make the whole experience fun and memorable, getting to see and hold your actual art is so exciting! Morgan chose downtown Colorado Springs, Monument Valley Park, and Old Colorado City for her senior session. Here are a few of our favorites…

This was a very special session because it was the first time that the Spotts family had done portraits outdoors! All their other experiences with professional photography had been in a studio, and we’re so glad we got to give them an experience of pictures in the beautiful outdoor setting of Garden of the Gods. We love outdoor sessions because they allow for breaks in between photography locations, give kids a chance to relax and play and run off some extra energy during the session, and they provide an experience in and of itself while you’re taking your pictures. All of our families always comment that they had so much fun together just taking the pictures…we love that! It’s one of our goals that every session is fun and creates lasting memories. I’m sure their oldest daughter will always laugh when she remembers getting her shoe stuck in between a couple rocks after one of our spots for pictures! Enjoy a few favorites and a look at the collection we created to feature their beautiful kids…
Jill and I met in college at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX. We are sorority sisters – Go Gamma Phi! We’ve kept in touch over the past 10 years and for the first couple of years after I was done with college, I was in St. Louis, MO, which is where Jill is from. I’d get to see her when she came home to see her parents who are still in St. Louis. We hadn’t seen each other for about 6-7 years, so I was really excited to hear that she was coming out to Colorado with her family and wanted to do family pictures with us! We decided to meet up in Estes Park so they’d have amazing Colorado mountain scenery for their portraits. It was so great to see her and Nathan again and meet their darling daughter, Alexandra! We also got to meet Nathan’s brother and sister-in-law, Mike & Stephanie, who live in Longmont. They are newly married…congratulations! We enjoyed a great time walking around Lily Lake and finding different places to take their pictures. And then we all went into town and enjoyed a great Mexican dinner. It was so fun re-connecting and spending time together, and we love that they thought to come to us to do their portraits during their Colorado trip!
Enjoy some favorites and their DVD movie…
Jon and Lindsay – we love the pictures! Nathan’s parents are going to be so excited when they get pictures of the 5 of us. Thank you so much! And I love the video by the way!!
Jon and Lindsay – we love the pictures and the video! Thanks for taking such wonderful pictures. Nathan’s parents are going to be thrilled when they get pictures of all 5 of us!
Jon – these are fantastic! Jill – your family is precious!
Olivia was very fun to photograph and had a great time beginning at the junkyard and then going to Cheyenne Canyon and to her stables. Olivia and her mom could not believe that Jon wanted to go to the stables for part of her session (since they claimed it was too ugly and couldn’t possibly be good for pictures), but since Freya is such a big part of Olivia’s life and wasn’t one to travel somewhere else for pictures, the stables was the perfect location. And once they saw the pictures, Olivia and her mom both commented that they could not believe how great the pictures turned out. As a side note, their View & Choose appointment was another favorite of mine. It was Olivia, her mom, and her aunt, and being a very Italian family, I loved how lively they were! The comments were so fun to hear from them and definitely made it full of smiles and laughter. Here are a handful of our favorites from her session…
Sophie is just too cute! She and Tyler are very close in age, so they are fun to watch when they are together! This past time, Sophie was very kind and shared her teething biscuit with Tyler. She came in chewing on it, and next thing I know, Tyler’s got it in his mouth and all over his face! Not that it’s very surprising since Tyler seems to have some radar system for anything edible (and not…he loves putting leaves in his mouth outside too…). We just love our time with Sophie and her parents, Jared and Megan. Enjoy some favorites from her most recent session!
Haha they are so fun to watch together! Thanks for another fun showing, Jon and Linsdey!
