Denver Engagement Photographer------Amy & Redge...soon 2 be Mr.& Mrs.

I had the pleasure of photographing Amy & Redge's engagement pictures...probably one of my all time favorite shoots!!! They were so easy, so relaxed, so willing to go "here," stand "there," hold "this". One of my favorite things about this shoot is that it was in Downtown Denver...holla'!!! =) I not only got to enjoy the day with these awesome people, but I got to see where he proposed (the actual "spot." In addition, I saw the hotel where they are going to spend their wedding night & go in the bookstore that they regularly rendevous at!!! Not are they only perfect for each other, but you can actually see their faces light up when the other is near them. So endearing! Thank you guys for a fabulous evening on the town, dinner, parking fees & more than you NEEDED to pay me!!! I must also ADD: Amy is my BODY COMBAT instructor at the YMCA (hence the boxing glove pic). She ROCKS every week & I have the priveledge of attending her classes!;) I hope you BOTH love your photos as much as I loved taking them & I cannot WAIT to photograph your wedding/reception in August (another HOLLA')!!!

My 2 Nephews & Neice in Tennessee

Elijah---age:4, Caleb---age:6 & Whitney---age:8. Beautiful, sweet children & of course I am biased; they are family. We just got back from visiting them & my sister-in-law & hubby in Tennessee this last week. All of the cousins had so much fun together; it was a really wonderful time!!! They played for hours upon hours outdoors (on their 30 acres): catching butterflies, bouncing on the trampoline & getting dirty!!! These were just a few of the shots I snapped one day of the Schmeling kids...wish I had had more time for a family shoot. Such a precious family & we wish they lived closer. Hope you guys enjoy these & your cd with the rest of the pictures will be in the mail tomorrow. =)
Blessings & Love,

Colorado Springs Children Photographer---Miss Ellie turns "2"

Sweet little Ellie turned 2 last month & she encompasses the essence of two & everything that comes with it. She had me cracking up with her "shy" routine & running off when she saw my camera lens pointed in her direction. Fortunately, her older sister (Hannha) was there to lead the way & distract her. We actually hit up two parks this day: Fox Run Park...which was a bit windy, so we headed down south to Monument Valley Park, which was about 15 degrees warmer & less wind. It was a fun day---Ellie enjoyed walking along paths, looking at ducks in the pond & sniffing flowers along the way!!! Hope you enjoy all of your photos Sarah...your girls are darling & I really treasure the opportunities to photograph them!
Blessings,
Courtney

Colorado Springs Children Photographer---Sharla & Chloe aka: Mom & Daughter

This sweet mom & daughter are our neighbors & also, Chloe was in Preschool & Kindergarten with Sawyer these last two years. They were such a fun duo to photograph...so silly & sweet...they truly have a precious bond as mother & daughter. These pictures are a gift to their husband & dad for Father's Day!!! I'm sure he will LOVE every single one of them. It was a gorgeous, warm evening & we got to see so many neat animals roaming around Monument Valley Park...beavers, ducks, geese, chipmunks & squirrels. It was like a nature/zoo/learning hike feild trip all wrapped into one. Thanks for letting me photograph you lovely ladies...I hope I get the priviledge again & again!!! =)
Blessings,
Courtney
