Colorado Springs Couples Photographer--------------------Kalyn & Alex










Have you ever seen such beautiful people???!!! Seriously a gorgeous couple Kalyn & Alex. I was thrilled they discovered me through some mutual friends I had done a session for back in the fall. They were so easy to talk to, so photogenic, felt like I had known them for years. THESE are the kind of sessions that make me love my job!!! I pretty much told them they could do no wrong with each shot...when you are naturally that pretty in front of the camera; it comes pretty naturally!;)I especially wanted these pictures to be amazing for them since I came to learn that not only did they not have engagement pictures, but no wedding pictures. Such a pitty when you're this pretty!;) LOL!!! Anyway, really hope you LOVE each & every moment that was captured on this beautiful Colorado day! Thank you Alex for serving our country & Kalyn keep strong during his next deployment. Thinking of you both!!!
Blessings,
Courtney

Colorado Springs Engagement Photographer----Jacqueline & Alex











This engagement session was SO MUCH FUN!!! Though it was chilly; these two braved the elements & put on a happy face. They were up for any crazy concotion I came up with & looked so perfect in their country boots & hat at the barn location. Then we stopped by Starbucks to grab some coffee to warm up, changed clothes on headed to our 2nd stop: Old Colorado City. The sun dropped fast...but they kept it heated (if you know what I mean)!:) It was great getting to know them...hearing about their amazing destination wedding that will be held next year in the Cayman Islands, hearing about how they met, fell in love & how he popped the question. Engagement sessions are the best...really, some of my favorites to shoot. Two adults madly in love, who can't keep their hands off of each other, what could be better?!=) Hope you both really LOVE the photos & memories that were captured on this chilly Feb. day. Many blessings to you on your marriage & sweet life together.

Colorado Springs Children's Photographer--------------------BFF's





My first Best Friends session. So fun to watch these girls love on each other. Such a wonderful friendship at such a young age. It was wonderful to watch them interact together. Both moms got together with their girls & decorated frames for these pictures...such special memories. Glad I could get these for you ladies. Enjoy!

Colorado Springs Children's Photographer---------------The Whitt Sisters








Ava & Bella, Bella & Ava...2 peas in a pod!!! I adore these two sweeties!!! Bella plays soccer with my daughter, Sadie, through Pride & she can boot that ball across the field like nobody's business.=) We love this girl & I was thrilled when they discovered my Facebook fan page & booked a mini-session with me. These 2 were decked from head to toe in bright reds, pinks, blacks, whites, hearts, tu-tus, tights, socks, boots, hats, sweaters...mom even brought the adorable cup-cake props. LOVE, LOVE, LOVED every shot we got. There was lots of hugging, giggeling, running & eating of candy...all to stay warm of course.;) With mom & dad nearby to remind them of warm hot chocolate & a car heater when all was said & done. Smart parents, right?!=) Thanks again Whitt Family for choosing me...hope you loved ever single moment that was captured. I had a blast personally; your girls are precious!!!=)

Colorado Springs Children's Photographer-----------------The Hodges Siblings






This was my first time meeting the Hodges Family & I loved getting to know Lauren & Calvin...2 cuties with extreme opposite personalities. This was my 1st experience photographing a "tween," so mom & I had some fun with the chalkboard!;) Lauren needed no direction...girl has her own set of flair...she told me how she wanted to pose, what she wanted to do...too cute!!! Oh & she hand-picked her outfit mom said; which was fitting to her personality. Loved every second with these two siblings & I hope to do it again next yr.=)

Colorado Springs Children's Photographer---------------The Nelson Sisters






I have adored these two girls since I met them...they are so sweet, pretty & giggely!!! Of course I love a sister duo...I have 3 older sisters myself & think they are pretty special.=) I photographed these two last fall & have been dying to get my lenses on them again ever since.=) Always dressed to impress & though their personalities def. scream sisters, their looks are complete opposites. One has creamy soft pale skin with killer blue eyes, the other has gorgeous olive skin with big brown eyes. Both "lookers"...watch out dad!;) I'm so glad they decided to book a mini-session this year. It's always a good time with the Nelson sisters.

Colorado Springs Children's Photographer--------------------The Sellars Brothers










Talk about Heart-Breakers...oh my!!! These two brothers were cuter than cute & I adored their outifts with coordinating hats. I have never laughed so much or so hard as I did during this particular session. They had me in stitches with their crazy-sweet personalities, wacky poses & funny comments. I couldn't get enough of these two!!! I can only hope they come see me again. Thanks Dena...it was wonderful to finally meet you. Hope you love your photos as much as I loved taking them.
Blessings,
Courtney

Colorado Springs Family Photographer---------------------The Natarajan Family






I was blessed again with another photogenic & fun family. The Natarajan family happens to be neighbors with a family that plays soccer with my daughter & saw the link posted on Facebook about the Valentine's Mini-Sessions---who then, btw, told her co-worker who booked her engagement session with me (which I already took). Crazy, right?!! I love it. Word of mouth advertising is the BEST. Sandy & her beautiful family were soooo beyond amazing during our session...endured the crazy Colorado wind that came out of no where, were patient & flexible & understanding. If I was handing out awards for any of these traits that day, it would've gone to this family. It was a pleasure to work with them & capture some precious smiles, kisses & warm cozy-blanketed family hugs.
Many Blessings to you Natarajan Family,
Courtney
