Lucas | Falcon High School Senior Portraits | Class of 2026

Lucas counts himself one of the most recent graduates of Falcon High School where he excelled in athletics, competing on the football, soccer, and golf teams. After first meeting his family for his older brother’s senior portraits, we loved reconnecting with them to celebrate Lucas at this amazing milestone. Lucas’ next steps are college with plans to study business management.

Both boys were a perfect match for our short session – 20 minutes, two outfits, awesome variety and quality. We love our short session for families who love a smaller set of images to fall in love with and who resonate with an experience that avoids being overwhelmed. Our seniors often love this session because it’s short and sweet. Our senior guys especially love an in, out, done experience for the photography. And I will always remember how much Lucas loved his senior portraits. Jon has a gift for helping people love how they look in portraits.

While many families initially have a hard time believing that 20 minutes can be enough time, Jon’s expertise – developed over 23 years of professional portrait photography experience – makes this possible! Enjoy favorites that show the variety of our typical outdoor short session that delivers an amazing set of 15-20 from which to make anything you want to love in your home for all the years to come.

  • Are you one of the many moms with a high school senior guy reluctant to be photographed for senior portraits? This is the session that the guys are willing to do…as a gift for mom 🙂
  • Are you wanting to mark the senior year milestone with high quality imagery but wanting a more simple set of images to order from? This is the session for you!

Our “Ask Jonathan Betz Photography” Series | Do printed portraits bring happiness?

We absolutely LOVE what we do for a living! We know that portrait art holds deep meaning, connection to loved ones, and adds love and joy to the homes of the families we serve. And these cool stats evidence that portraits benefit our mood, reduce anxiety, and bring happiness.

We live in a time where more photographs are being taken than at any other time in history. Basically everyone is walking around with a phone in their pocket. Yet…do they impact our lives when they live solely in an endless scroll on our phones or in a folder on our computer? How often do we pull up those files on our computer?

Printed photographs matter. That’s why our portrait experience always ends in finished prints and products. We connect on a deeper level to the tangible.

We’d love to help create fresh legacy for your family. We’d love to add love and joy to the walls of your home and forever connect you to the special memories from this season in the life of your family.

Janelle | Odyssey High School & Early Colleges High School Senior Portraits | Class of 2026

A huge CONGRATULATIONS to Janelle who recently graduated with both her high school diploma and her associates degree! Janelle’s activities and interests center around photography and showing her English Springer Spaniels…what a neat strength and skill set!

Her high school senior portraits were created at a great local park that offers a variety of foliage and mountain views. With her dog showing, her pups were certainly featured during her photography session! Jonathan is quite remarkable at working with dogs that are included in both our senior and family sessions, and captured so well her and her pups.

Enjoy our favorites from her portrait session, and we are so excited for her to launch into the next chapters of life!

The Carpenters | Colorado Springs Family Portraits at Garden of the Gods

There’s an inevitable tug on parents’ heartstrings when one of their kids is graduating high school and launching into adulthood, and that tug creates a wonderful opportunity to create family portraits. The Carpenters took advantage of this milestone happening for their oldest, and we love that as their son moves out to begin college in the fall that their walls will have these beautiful family portraits to keep his presence in their home. Family portraits freeze fleeting moments to be remembered and to bring to mind favorite memories from that specific season in a family’s life.

Our outdoor sessions are always booked for the best light for the location being chosen, and the one hour sessions are the perfect length when a family is excited to create individuals of each of their kids alongside the full family and primary groupings we create in all of our sessions. Garden of the Gods is always an excellent choice when a family is looking to bring the iconic beauty and Front Range views into their home as part of the portraits.

We’re excited to share favorites from their family session and are always touched to know Jon’s artistry is being enjoyed every single day as meaningful art in this family’s home.

Ron + Shawna | Family Portraits in Red Rock Canyon | Colorado Springs

We are thrilled to celebrate the upcoming wedding of Ron & Shawna and capture these family portraits for this family! We have known Shawna and her boys since 2018 when her oldest was a high school senior. We have loved capturing her boys at various milestones since that time. And now we celebrate that Ron and Shawna will marry this fall, and these portraits will forever bring to mind this exciting time of their engagement!

We’re excited to share favorites from their family session in Red Rock Canyon. We love this area for the beauty of the red rock formations while being far less populated than Garden of the Gods. Our one-hour sessions provide plenty of time to capture all the various groupings across a family. We love how Shawna just radiates across all the men of her world!
