Colorado Springs Event Photographer---Family Reunion

I had the honor of working with this wonderful group of 40 for a Family Reuion. We met at a local Retirement Center. I was blessed to help my fellow photographer & friend,Cristy with this photoshoot since she was out of town for the Holidays!!! It was a BIG group, but everyone was so kind & relaxed...they made it easy. =)Of course we had some laughs too...with many little babies & young children, there was some crying & screaming along the way; which made for all the more fun!

Colorado Springs Children/Family Photographer---MY family!!!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE MY FAMILY!!! This was our first family photoshoot in many, many years & I had the privilege of photographing it. What fun we all had down at the barn at Rock Ledge Ranch. It was chilly as the sun dropped behind the mountains, but we had a blast laughing, hugging, jumping & everything in between. I had told my family to wear lots of layers, fabrics, colors& textures & they did JUST that. It was fabulous to watch each family drive up one at a time & step out of their cars & see the pops of color they arrived in. Couldn't have been better if I took them shopping myself. So many cousins, so much love...I especially enjoyed watching my parents embrace one another; afterall...if it weren't for them, none of us would be around. I am truly blessed to have such an awesome family & love each & every single one of them!!!
Love,

Colorado Springs Children Photographer---Julie & Jonah

This had to be one of my favorite photoshoots of 2010. Love, love, love little Julie...who is about to turn 4!!! She is so spunky, uninhibited & definitely has her own eclectic style---an absolute blast to photograph! Big brother Jonah, was a little more stubborn & reluctant to let me photograph his beautiful baby blues... & getting a genuine smile out of him was slightly more challening; however, fun, nonetheless. Turning 6 & being a boy does that to ya...too cool for the camera! Ha! Thanks Melissa for setting this shoot up. I hope you find some great pictures to frame of your beautiful kiddos that capture their spirit & personality perfectly.

Colorado Springs Children/Family Photographer---The Velasquez Family

With very short notice I recieved a text on Monday night asking if I could photograph the Velasquez Family for their Holiday Photos on Tuesday morning...fortunately for both of us, I could oblidge!!! It was such a pleasure to meet & photograph this adorable little family: Eric, Denele (5 months pregnant with baby boy) & little 16 month old Kailey. They were sooo easy & flexable, especially given the chilly winds we were working with. Thanks to Meghan for her referral & thanks to you, Velasquez Family for listening. =) I hope you love your photos & find the perfect one for your Holiday Greetings. Many blessings on your beautiful growing family! I hope you will contact me when baby #2 arrives; I would love to take his newborn pictures!!!

Colorado Springs Baby/Family Photographer---The Sparks Family

Ok, so I LOVE this family!!! I had the privilege of taking Meghan's maternity pictures, Jonah's newborn pictures & now their family pictures...so fun to watch them grow & change. =)We began our photoshoot inside their home on their one of a kind, awesome red sopha (my favorite)...we (Jonah) got to play with candy-canes, lollipops & reindeer ears. Next we went across the street to a fabulous park where we (Jonah) got to swing, play in a suitcase & go for a walk. It was the perfect photoshoot with one of the best families I know. Thanks guys...I hope you love these photos as much as I loved taking them!!! Looking forward to photographing many more family memories to come...

Longmont Family Photographer---The Lung Family

This photoshoot was all the way in beautiful Longmont, Colorado...where I met the Lung Family: Dave, Holly, Zach & Allison. It was a nice change of pace for me to be able to photograph teenagers during this family shoot instead of chasing around 2 yr. olds & making goofy noises!!! Don't get me wrong...I love little toddlers & capturing their amusing expressions, but it was also nice to be able to say smile, stop, etc. & them respond accordingly. =) It was such a pleasure to take pictures of this sweet family in front of their lovely home. Thanks Lung Family...I hope you love your pictures as much as I loved taking them!!!

Blessings,
Courtney
