Colorado Springs Senior Photos Keatyn’s Colorado Springs senior photos were an absolute JOY! She shopped for her outfits locally at Coralun Vintage. This small business is owned by Lauren, who not only curates a fantastic inventory of vintage clothing but also makes gorgeous, handmade jewelry. We started the session in Old Colorado City. Next, we […]

These Monument senior photos and family photos were a combined session! We fit in a senior session x 2, family photo session, individual portraits of the four younger kids, portraits of the pups, and professional headshots for dad’s insurance business! This session was packed, but oh so FUN! We started with the pups. How cute […]

Colorado really outdid itself for this Styled Shoot. Overcast. Rain. 45 degrees and dropping rapidly. Snow. Blizzard. Yes, on May 20, we ended the day here in Colorado Springs with a blizzard. We had over 12 inches of snow by the next morning! That is certainly not the weather I was hoping for when I […]

When I last photographed Sara and her family, my photography business was still a baby. Maybe a toddler. Either way, I was not at a stage where I had a website, Instagram, nor was I blogging any of my sessions. Just posted a few to Facebook, delivered their photos via Dropbox, and that was it! […]

I had the privilege of taking photos for Shane’s extended family last August. It was a family reunion/birthday party followed by formal family photos. To date, it’s still the largest family photo session I have shot. Moving 17 people around into different group combinations, maintaining positive attitudes, and continuously giving genuine smiles throughout 2 hours […]

“I’m trying to think of a polite way to ask if Mariah, her friend and I could stay with you for a few days, with the two of them separately having you do their senior pictures while we are there.” This is a message I got from Lynnay back in mid-July. It wasn’t impolite because […]

Denver. Traffic. I planned for it…but not well enough. It took me almost 3 hours to get to Standly Lake for this Styled Senior Shoot (should’ve taken 2). I was in a cranky, crabby mood when I arrived…just to find out I was on the wrong side of the lake! 10 more minutes and I […]

We have been experiencing a very mild winter this year. Schools have not had snow days. The weather frequently reached into the 60s each month. I have only scraped my windshield a handful of times. While I thoroughly enjoyed the warmer weather, I missed the snow a little bit, if I’m honest. While living in […]

Leela! This girl is a firecracker. She’s full of spunk, full of personality, and has an endearing smile. It was an absolute honor to meet her and her family during her senior portrait. Leela’s story is one of struggle and triumph. Pain and healing. Loss and recovery. Leela’s family shared with me that she suffered […]

I have yet to meet a senior guy who is super excited about his senior photo session (I know you’re out there, guys!). Cory didn’t strike me as someone who had scrolled through Instagram and Pinterest, planning and thinking about his poses, outfits, and the perfect location. However, he came well dressed and was very […]
