Ute Valley Park is one of my favorite outdoor locations for family photos in Colorado Springs! It is never completely overrun with other people and photographers like places like Garden of the Gods tends to be (especially in the summer). It also has a TON of variety and is extremely accessible for both parking and […]

If you’re looking for a location in Colorado Springs where you can get great photos a bit earlier in the day than the mountain overlook spots, look no further than Fox Run Regional Park! This is a great spot for those summer sessions with little kids – when the sun sets at 8:30, but bedtime […]

It’s always a good day when I finally take my own advice and get photos taken of my own little family! I’m so grateful for my friend (and associate photographer), Haili, for snapping these at an amazing little nook I found at Palmer Park. I’m a HUGE fan of the white rock versus the red […]

The Muro family has got to be one of my favorite photo sessions from this past year. Not only were they wonderful to work with (I have so many amazing clients), they also crushed their outfit choices and our weather could not have been more perfect at Garden of the Gods! I did have to […]

I honestly hadn’t done a photo shoot at Bear Creek Regional Park in years and then I ended up doing 3 within a few weeks because I remembered how much I love it there! Leafy green trees and open fields and a mountain view all in one spot? Yes please! This was my first time […]

This session was so different from the maternity sessions I’ve photographed before since it was in my studio downtown (KINDLE Photo Studio & Event Space) instead of outdoors. Because of that, it ended up being one of my favorite maternity sessions ever. I’m always after doing new things and creating something special to each person, […]

The lighting was so perfect in my downtown Colorado Springs studio for this 2-year milestone + mommy and me session for Charyce and MaKai. Their outfits were beyond perfect too and we just had so much fun! Now that I’m a mom myself, I understand on a much deeper level just how special images like […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]
