Colorado Springs Family Photographer--------------------The Kopycinski Family

This is Kelley, Mike, Erin & Maelyn...the adorable & ever special Kopycinski Family. I met Kelley through my Body Combat class at the YMCA & thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her family at this session at Fox Run Park. It was sooo neat hearing Erin & Maelyn's adoption stories...they have been through so much & yet God's timing was so so PERFECT---like always!!! What a blessing these girls are to this mom & dad & in return the involvement & love that pours out from Mike & Kelley is equally amazing!!!I had a great timing watching the girls chase & eat (wink-wink) bubbles all over the park. So glad bubbles & "DOTS" candy could be a part of our unique session---made it extra fun!!! One last side note: LOVED, LOVED, LOVED the royal blue & orange color combination...it was so striking in these pictures!!!
Blessings,
Courtney

A wonderful evening at the Lodge at Cathedral Pines in the Black Forest. A vintage/eclectic style wedding with Amy & Redge (my Body Combat Instructor) aka: Mr. & Mrs. Hudson. It was a beautiful, emotional ceremony that barely escaped a rainstorm...followed by the most intimate of ceremonies inside with the closest friends & family. It was a pleasure & honor to be a part of this special event. The two become one....or for this particular couple...eight. Their family now totals the two of them along with their 6 kids...WHOAH!!! =) One big HAPPY family!
Many, Many blessings,
Courtney

Colorado Springs/Monument High School Senior Photographer-----Miranda

This is Lewis Palmer High School Senior, Miranda...not only is she naturally beautiful on the outside, but she has this amazing beauty on the inside too. For starters she has an amazing love for the Lord!!! She used to dance, but quit so she could help out with Middle Schoolers & get them on fire for God too. AMAZING!!!

This shoot was soooo much fun...seriously, was pinching myself that I get paid to do this kind of stuff!!! She was flexible, compliant & did anything I asked of her (pose-wise)... & did it well. Beauty & Brains they say---yes, she has BOTH!!!

I hope you have an amazing Senior year at LPH Miranda & continue to let God use you in indescribable ways!!!
Many Blessings,
Courtney

Colorado Springs Wedding Photographer----A Beach Wedding (Carlsbad, CA)

This wedding took place on the gorgeous beach in Carlsbad, California. My aunt (my mom's sister)was the bride & I was the blessed neice who had the priviledge of being her photographer!!! Lucky me! =)Of course it turned into a sister's trip...my 3 older sisters & I spent a week in California & it was no other than AMAZING!!! We went to Disneyland, Temecula Wine Country & lots of eating out at fabulous resturants...oh, & did I mention shopping???

Enough about that...back to the wedding. It was simple. Beautiful. Endearing. Charming. Lovely. A small crowd of about 40 friends & family gathered along a beach front property to watch the two exchange vows, then enjoyed an evening of wine & food, laughs, dancing, music & memories. I could've taken twice the amount of photos. Oh, did I also mention this is the wedding that my camera decided to NOT work. Yes, I ended up renting a camera HOURS BEFORE the ceremony began...talk about STRESS!!! Fortunatley by answered prayers & the grace of God...I ended up with a happy bride & groom & a happy photographer(me) that captured BEAUTIFUL moments in the END!!! Many, many, many blessings on your marriage Sally & Phil.

All my love,
Courtney =)
