Snow- Colorado Springs Family Photographer

I love these girls... not much else to say.

The Ladies~ Colorado Springs Children Photographer

This one's mine. :)


I have blogged about these darling little girls more times than I can count. I can't help it. I love them. I adore them. I can't get enough of them. They are use to sunny San Diego so when they headed up for a visit they were pleasently surprised with a mountain of snow. They played... and played.... and played in the snow. While we were out trying to build a snowman (didn't work out so well) I took a few pictures. They were good sports. I'm trying to figure out the best way to take snowy pictures. It's kinda challenging because it's so darn reflective. (a good thing usually...) I got a few cute ones of them with their mom too but those ones aren't done so these will have to do for now. In case I haven't mentioned, I love these girls... and I miss them. :(

A Long While Later~ Colorado Family Photographer

My poor family. I take pictures of my family (and Bryan's family) for a major discount (like, for free). But with this, comes a consequence. In this case, Ben and Jess had to wait for me to pack up and move Bryan to Colorado Springs, be a single mom for 3 weeks while packing up the rest of us, moving the rest of us to Colorado, finishing up paying clients (they get priority), get settled, forget about the pictures, remember about the pictures, forget again, and finally remember again. But, alas, they are done. 8 million years later. :) I hope they like them and that they were worth the wait. I love this sweet family. I hate not living by them but I honestly think it will be a life long thing. Boo!!!

Ben just got accepted to a Doctoral program (don't ask me what kind... don't know) in sunny and humid Austin, Texas to the University of Texas. That's super awesome because it was his first choice. But it's super lame because it's further away than they already are. We are SO excited for him and his family to have this adventure and even more proud of him for getting accepted. We never really thought he'd amount to anything. ;) Kidding. He's destined for greatness and everyone who meets him knows it.

I've posted this next picture before but I just love it so much that I am including it again. Aren't the cute?!?!

So happy together!!
This picture... The time I spent in Photoshop... I'm not telling you what I did because then you'll notice all the mess ups. :)

Such Beauty~ Colorado Springs Children Photographer

Colorado Springs is so very beautiful. We have loved it since we arrived here a little less than two months ago. This park is in a darling little neighborhood, and my kids and I decided to brave the chilly winter air to go play. Snow was on it's way so we knew we had to act fast. I think we lasted all of 5 minutes before they were begging me to get back in the car. It was cold but more damaging than that it was WINDY!! The pictures make it look like a beautiful, sunny, summer afternoon. Nope. It was just great light. IT WAS COLD. C.O.L.D. I put up no argument when the kids wanted to head in for a nice, warm cup of hot chocolate. (which we go through like Kleenex these days.)

Little Miss P was definitely the funniest. She looks like the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man in her jacket (which I practically have to duct tape to her so she won't take it off) with her hat falling over her eyes. I'm sure she can't see a darn thing but she just cruises around like she's having the time of her life.

It was so stinking windy that he couldn't even keep his eyes open for a picture.

I love these plants. I call them wheat but I honestly have no idea what they are. But they're everywhere and I think the reason Colorado Springs plants them is because they look so pretty when they blow in the wind... which is always blowing.
