Manitou Springs/Old Colorado City Children/Family Photographer------------The Harmon Family

The Harmon Family---let me start off by saying, what a great looking family!!! They could have worn sackcloth & still looked amazing; however, I loved their choices of All-American white t's & blue jeans as well as the blues that brought out (3 of the 4) their eyes!!! They chose an urban style for their photos, so we headed down to Manitou Springs & Old Colorado City for this shoot---fitting (I found out later) because they go to the arcade frequently as a family in the summer. What a great tradition!!! The boys aren't huge fans of the camera, so we used two techniques called:distraction & bribery; hence the HUGE LOLLIPOPS!!! Everyone did great & I was able to capture some candid "everyday moments" such as crocodile tears after a "too-tight" squeeze from big brother. It was a wonderful evening all in all...just wish the sun would've stayed up 30 minutes longer!;)

Love you guys!!!
Courtney
P.S. I would love to take round II at your house for some more family shots. Let me know when a good time would be!

Colorado Springs Children Photographer---Olivia turns 6

Little Miss Olivia...thanks to you I was finally able to do an urban shoot & boy oh boy did I have fun!!! The pink tutu & pink converse were my absolute favorites...you wore them with style girl. You were so easy to photograph & thanks to dad's help we got to see some real personality come out with each smile. I also loved how Olivia started hamming it up at the end. The last photographs of the day are usually the best in a photoshoot...people start relaxing & getting used to being in front of the camera. I hope you love these (Angela) as much as I loved taking them!!! It's been a blessing to photograph your children & your family...I'm hoping Emma & your new addition will be part of the continuing tradition!!! =)

Blessings,
Courtney

Monument Baby/Children/Family Photographer---The Paisley Family

What a joy it was to be able to photograph the Paisley Family!!! For so many years, Jori & I have had the honor of serving alongside Melissa & Nathan at our church's nursery once a month. During that time we were able to observe their heart of dedication, service & awesome love for children they have. What a cool thing it was for me to be able to observe them now with their own children & watch them in their roles as mother & father. I think you are both doing an amazing job by the way!!! It was so much fun meeting you at Palmer Lake for a beautiful warm summer morning & snapping pictures of your adorable family. Thanks again for asking! I hope you love these pictures & they help capture this stage of life you are in. Many Blessings to you Paisley Family!!!

Courtney =)
