As the owner of two small businesses myself, I understand the challenges of getting the right kinds of photos to create unique content that grows my business as well as anyone. First is the obvious challenge of just finding the right photographer and getting your photo session on the calendar. But as you’re in the […]

While I adore this location for family photos in Colorado Springs, it can be a bit of a challenge on a very sunny day because it’s so open. For the Blazis family’s session we totally lucked out with a very cloudy, but still bright, evening that softened all the colors and allowed us to shoot […]

Ute Valley Park is honestly one of my favorite places to photograph in Colorado Springs. It’s extremely easy to get to, making it one of the best mountain views for families or people who don’t want to hike. It also has some great variety between trees, rocks, and mountains so you can get lots of […]

Photo sessions with mountain backdrops are admittedly tough in the mornings from Colorado Springs. Since the mountain views are to the west, morning light just blinds the subjects instead of glowing behind their heads as it does in the evening. Thankfully, I’ve learned the trick of doing more candid photos of people interacting with each […]

The Lofthouse Air BnB was the perfect location for Kelli’s personal brand session! She needed some images in action. So, we captured her using her hair products, laptop, and notebook as well as got some incredibly fun shots with her hat, the newspaper her salon was in for winning an award, and a cozy blanket […]

Finding an indoor space for a photo shoot in Colorado Springs has historically been a challenge! Whether you need it for boudoir, branding, family, newborn, or more, there haven’t always been a lot of options available.
