The Lee Family | Colorado Springs Family Portraits

We have known the Lee family for a number of years and loved this opportunity to create family portrait art for their home in celebration of their 25th wedding anniversary! These key anniversaries often spark motivation for family portraits, and with both of their kids in college, it was an important time to capture their family of four before the make-up of the family changes over the coming years. You never know when wedding bells will start ringing…

We’re excited to share favorites from a great session with this family in Cheyenne Cañon. We always welcome the furry family members too, and the Lees enjoyed featuring their adorable mini-Aussie in some of the images.

Abbie | Air Academy High School Senior Portraits | Class of 2022

We’ve had so much fun creating senior portraits to celebrate Abbie’s capstone of high school! She may be soft-spoken, but don’t let that fool ‘ya. Her intelligence and talents abound, and we love her quiet confidence. She’s looking at a career in cyber intelligence.

Her musical skills include piano and ukulele and her artistic side enjoys drawing the most. She adores animals and has two dogs of her own. She’s learning both ASL and Chinese. We’re thankful to her family’s military service and investment in our freedom and know they are enjoying their time here in Colorado Springs. No matter where Abbie’s next steps lead, her senior portraits will hold memories of Colorado from the iconic and mountainous settings in her images.


Abbie’s family did these behind-the-scenes pictures of Jon creating her senior portraits, so for those of you who enjoy a taste of how Jon works to create his imagery, these give you a little peek at him in action. We’ve placed the final portrait he created next to each BTS shot.

Betsy | Pine Creek High School Senior Portraits | Class of 2022

We’re honored to continue to tell this family’s story in portrait art for the milestone moments happening in their family across the last few years. Their youngest daughter, Betsy, is enjoying senior year, and we loved creating senior portraits to honor her accomplishments and give her family portrait art to always remember this time in her life.

Betsy’s strengths include leadership and music, and she’s solid in her faith. She serves as a junior high small group leader at her church and is part of Peak Student Leadership where her leadership skills are developed and in service projects with the group in the community. She excels in clarinet and performs in both Pine Creek’s marching and symphonic bands. She loves natural Colorado beauty and the wildflowers of summer, and we guided her to a perfect combination of sessions across two different locations and at the perfect time of year to highlight these scenic “loves” in her imagery.

Brooke | The Classical Academy (TCA) College Pathways | High School Senior Portraits | Class of 2022

We’ve loved catching up with this returning family to celebrate their newest high school senior with senior portraits!

Brooke is an adventurous and caring high school senior who you’ll find dirt biking with her dad and brother or volunteering with children when she’s not completing school studies. She’s been a camp counselor at Camp Elin in the summers and competes year-round on both school and club softball teams. She’s quite the well-rounded softball player as you’ll find her excelling in positions of both infield and outfield.

As she completes high school, Brooke’s future plans include beginning college studies with sights set on a career in elementary education.

Reynolds Family | Colorado Springs Winter Family Portraits

With fresh snow gracing our city, we’re excited to feature a great winter family session! We have been the family photographer for the Reynolds since 2010 and are so honored to record the seasons in the life of their family. We love seeing them every 2-3 years and create new family legacy pieces. Portrait photography’s ability to tell a family’s story without words is so powerful and gives us a very meaningful job to love doing for each family who entrusts us with their story.

This most recent portrait session gave so many layers of meaning: They were created on their own property, celebrating the culmination of a long-held dream to live on acreage and feature their own backyard in their imagery. Snowboarding is a significant family activity and a centerpiece of lots of family memories; including these storytelling images during the session brings all these memories of adventures together into their portrait art. Beyond that, kids change so quickly, so every new family portrait captures their son at all the key milestones of his life.

There really is something magical about the snow, and for this winter-loving family, the perfect setting for this newest set of family portraits celebrating this season in the life of their family.
