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 […]

The great thing about growing up in Woodland Park, Colorado, even though I live in the Springs about 30 minutes away, is that I know the area like the back of my hand! Lots of people vacation there as it’s a great family getaway that’s close to much of the midwest, but not too remote. […]

I love when brides look for ways to make their wedding days different. Whether it’s by creating their own decorations, choosing a surprising location, or switching things up from what we tend to think of as a traditional wedding, it can delight guests and make for a memorable event. Another thing to think about ahead […]

Squash Blossom is located in Old Colorado City. According to their website, they represent Native American culture authentically and respectfully, ensuring their […]

To say I was excited to host my first personal brand mini session event at my new studio would be an understatement! I had so many dreams of making something like KINDLE Photo Studio & Event Space come to life. This first mini session event was like the start of a dream come true! Ellie’s […]

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. Sure, you can shoot inside your home or your client’s home, but it’s often not photo-ready and lighting can […]

The last time I took family photos for the Wilsons was at Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. We know each other from Kansas City though, so it was fun to capture them in the Crossroads district and at the Liberty Memorial there this time! This session was for their middle son’s senior photos as […]
