Dvorsky Family | Garden of the Gods Family Portraits

I’m completely partial to Jon’s expertise in photography – there’s no one else I trust with our own family photography – but sometimes even I am amazed by the portraits he is able to create in some of the craziest conditions.

The Dvorsky family is back with us this year for both the next round of senior portraits and also family portraits. Like most families, they have full schedules with kids and parents going in lots of directions each week. It’s not easy to coordinate all those schedules for family photography.

Clouds, heavy with rain, were moving into the city right at the start of their scheduled family session. Rain fell pretty much most of their session, so I actually thought Jon was joking when he texted to tell me he finished the session. He wasn’t kidding! He worked with utmost efficiency and created gorgeous portraits for a family who was more than willing to tough out a little rain to complete their portraits at the originally-scheduled time.

Rest assured, we will never compromise portraits with the weather, but when a family is up for giving it a go, the results are often awesome. This family had an absolute blast, and the precipitation brought a depth of color to the landscape that just doesn’t happen on a perfectly sunny day. Enjoy a handful of favorites from their recent photography session!

Jacob | Pine Creek High School Senior Portraits | Class of 2019

Jacob is an independent and passionate high school graduate with an eye on continuing playing competitive hockey and a career in computer sciences.

He is an avid sports fan and cheers strongest for the German national team. He has a love for hockey and has been the goalie on the Pine Creek High School team during his time there. When not on the ice, you can find him relaxing with video games. He also has a love for his grandfather’s Corvette, and we were so excited that his grandfather brought up the car for Jacob’s senior session!

Jacob matched well for our one-hour senior session and loved a combination of Cheyenne Cañon and a portion of Gold Camp Road as the locations for his senior photography.

Congratulations, Jacob, on graduation, and we wish you the best as you take these next steps!

Trevor | Widefield High School Senior Portraits | Class of 2019

How can it possibly be AUGUST? Goodness! With a move of locations late Spring and the typical busy season underway with the onset of summer, we are so behind in our blogging!

I’ll start catching up with Trevor’s feature. We just love this family and had such a great time reconnecting with them after first meeting when Trevor’s older sister had her senior portraits with us.

Trevor is fun and easygoing and has a sense of adventure. He loves fly fishing, loves his Corvette and the family Jeep, and excels in baseball. He’s a 3rd baseman and has played both club and school teams for years. We loved featuring all of these loves throughout his portraits.

Trevor matched best with a split session: one in the Fall that used areas in Manitou Springs and then the second session in the Spring when baseball was underway. Jon created an amazing set of portraits to truly capture Trevor and spark favorite memories as these portraits are enjoyed for years to come.

Congratulations, Trevor!

Aaron + Alyssa | Wedding Photography at Wedgewood Weddings in Black Forest, COLORADO

It’s hard to believe that Aaron & Alyssa’s first anniversary is coming up this fall after sharing in their wedding day on September 7th, 2018. We have known the father of the groom for a handful of years and were truly honored to be entrusted with the photography for his son’s wedding day.

Aaron and Alyssa centered their wedding day on their shared Christian faith, and it truly blessed us to see the ways in which they were light on their day to all the loved ones who came and surrounded them. We loved that Alyssa’s dad served as their pastor for their ceremony and the ways they honored all their family throughout the day. We also appreciated the time they wove into their wedding day for special photography with just the two of them. Some of our favorites from their day are portraits created during these moments they gave us.

Enjoy our favorites from a wonderful wedding day that began new chapters of marriage for this special couple.

Jude & Vicki | Anniversary Portraits

Jude and Vicki celebrated their second anniversary in November, and for Valentine’s this year, gifted themselves professional photography with us! We had such a blast getting to know them and providing incredible wall art and a gorgeous album for their home!

Jon began a personal project this year, inspired by the art of Rembrandt. Jude was excited to be photographed as part of this project, and everyone has LOVED the portraits! This set of portraits added depth to the photography style Jon is known for across all our portrait work, and also featured some of Jude’s pipes.

As a couple, Jude and Vicki love traveling the world, spending time in museums, and when here in Colorado, are active hikers and love drives in the mountains.

We loved all the different aspects to their personalities and loves captured throughout their photography, and we are excited to share favorites!

Jude shared this about their experience with us:

My wife and I are pleased and ecstatic with the work of Jonathan Betz Photography. The artistic creativity is fantastic. They work with you to meet and exceed your expectations. Our portraits were our Valentine’s Day gift to each other and the results was more wonderful than we dreamed possible. Our album will be a Family Heirloom treasured for many many years.

As a great husband and wife team John and Lindsay are wonderful. Lindsay plans and schedules your session and spends time reviewing your results helping you choose numerous products best displaying your photographs. Jon is an excellent photographer, capturing your personality perfectly in settings he helps you get the most of. Thank You.
