The Dobbyn Family | Colorado Springs Family & High School Seniors Professional Photography | Legacy Portrait Art

We photographed both senior portraits and family portraits for this lively and fun-loving family this past fall! When families book a senior session with us, they unlock the opportunity for a FREE family session. Reaching that culminating milestone of childhood that simultaneously brings an ending of having that son or daughter full-time in the house pings many families to create fresh family portraits before the season changes.

Since their daughter is their oldest, these family portraits will forever connect them to the capstone of the full-time, family-of-four years of raising both their kids in the home together. We trust these family portraits that hang on the wall and in our very fun Accent Trio of tabletop metal art pieces will be a hug to the heart and forever bring to mind the best memories from this season.

The fall colors were at peak for their session, and we love the autumnal tones they chose for their family session attire. Wearing the colors of the season will always complement the natural elements and also “sell the season” in the finished portraits. Their attire augmented the season and brought a cozy warmth to the composition.

Their 9-year-old son is a joy to be around – he’s inquisitive, funny, and clearly loves his big sister. He became Jon’s special helper during the sessions. You’ll see their son “at work” alongside favorites from both their family and senior portraits. A big congratulations to their senior on her upcoming graduation – we know your family is so proud of all your accomplishments and your service through JrROTC during your high school years. We are blessed to have been their choice for portrait art to freeze this moment in time for their family.

Owen | Air Academy High School Senior Portraits | Class of 2026

Owen’s family has been a client family since 2016 for family portraits, senior portraits, and even professional headshots. Their loyalty is both a huge compliment and also such a joy for us! We loved capturing Owen’s senior portraits across a few different sessions. While Owen enjoys hiking and fishing and has a strong affinity for hip hop culture, the place where you’ll find him most is on the basketball court. He has competed for years on both school and club teams. With the strong place basketball holds in his life, he has images from both his urban session and an additional session devoted to basketball – Jon loved the opportunity for fresh creativity on the court of his high school for that dedicated basketball session we completed for him at the start of this new year.

Congratulations, Owen, on your upcoming graduation – we have loved capturing your senior portraits as a capstone to the family portraits we have created over the years. We wish you our best with all your next steps!

Lizzie | Vista Ridge High School Senior Portraits | Class of 2026

We loved reconnecting with Lizzie’s family for her senior photography after first meeting them in 2021 to create her older brother’s senior portraits! It’s truly one of our favorite compliments when we earn the repeat business of a family and experience that loyalty.

Lizzie has a vibrant, cheerful personality with an impressive skill set benefiting Vista Ridge’s marching band Color Guard and Drum Corps. She has done specialized training and been on an invitational national Color Guard as well.

For her senior portraits, she was open to suggestions and loved our recommendation for the great fall colors offered in Cheyenne Cañon. The variety of trees there showcase the changing leaves of the fall season so well, and with our 20 years of experience, we know the window of time to capture these colors during our portrait sessions. Fall colors are certainly never a guarantee, but this was a great season for them, and Lizzie’s portraits are full of autumn colors.

Lizzie also wins for Most Outfits for a One Hour Session for the Class of 2026 😉 Usually our seniors feature 3-4 outfits for a one-hour session, but Lizzie’s ambition met with her speedy outfit changes gave her SIX different looks in her portraits! Plus awesome ones to tell the story of all her involvement with Color Guard. She also chose so well a variety of colors that all flattered her coloring and leaning to solid colors that offer timeless appeal.

After graduation, she plans to pursue a career in Interior Design. We wish her our best. We had such a fun time creating her portraits and again thank her family for their continued business and trust.

Paige | Pine Creek High School Senior Portraits | Class of 2026

We are incredibly blessed to have worked with Paige’s family since 2010, capturing family portraits for them every few years and each round of senior portraits as each of their kids reach that milestone. We have watched Paige grow up since age 2, and that history with them makes creating her senior portraits that much more meaningful.

Paige has a very strong sporty side with her athleticism excelling in basketball and track. She’s enjoyed time competing at the varsity level for basketball with Pine Creek and on the track team loves flying through the air whether competing in the high jump, long jump, or triple jump field events. When she’s not on a court or on the field, she’s an avid reader and also enjoys playing piano and is a self-described “psudo” dancer 😉

We wish Paige our best as she wraps up high school and enters college studies. You are blessed to take all your next steps with the strong love and support of your amazing family.

The Mascarinas Family | Indoor Studio Family Portraits

We live in such a beautiful place, yet the simplicity of the Studio for portraiture offers rich, timeless appeal to capture the people and highlight the most meaningful relationships in our lives. The Studio setting also pairs perfected with elevated attire.

For the Mascarinas Family, the ping to create updated family portraits came from having the milestone of another high school senior year. This family is in that transitional season of kids reaching the end of childhood and moving into young adulthood with empty-nesting now visible in their not-so-distant future. Capturing family portraits that represent some of those culminating times of all the full-time parenting years is well worth making the time. Life moves so quickly. Portraits help slow things down and create that tangible connection from present to past. We love the reality that the portraits we make for families are legacy pieces for the current generation to remember special moments and for the next generations to inherit. There is a beautiful grounding that happens when we can experience printed pieces of the people who matter most to us. We actually feel that warmth of the love we have when we see and hold portraits.

We were honored to create these family portraits for the Mascarinas Family. Enjoy some of our favorites below!
