Engagement Photos

I did my first engagement photo shoot ever!!  I have decided that I love to shoot couples.  What could be better than working with two people who are so in love and happy?  It was a lot of fun working with these two, and here are a few of my favorites from the shoot.

 I "LOVE" how this one turned out!!

Such a cute couple.

Such a fun (and different) shoot.  I wish these two a lot of love and happiness in the future!

The Butterfly

I am priviledged to be friends with a lady named Rebecca Hyde.  She was recently named the best artist in Colorado Springs.  Check out her awesome work here.  This year she was chosen to participate in the 4th annual Butterflies & Friends project for the Colorado Springs Rotary Club.  Artists are given a blank butterfly sculpture to convert into public pieces of art.  She asked me to take pictures of her sculpture, I was honored.  I have never taken pictures of art before, and it was a whole new ballgame.  Her sculpture will be on display at the Cheyenne Mountain Resort for the next few months, go check it out!!

Her butterfly is titled "Unbound"

Isn't it beautiful?

One of the things I love most about it is that every inch of it is interesting.

I mean, look at this.  It could be a painting all on its own!

Please go check out her butterfly, and the many other butterflies around town, they are beautiful!

Glad To Be Shooting Again!

I'm so glad that winter (it seems) is finally over. I have been dying to get my camera out! I met this wonderful family this evening and had a great time snapping pictures of them. It's great to be shooting again! Here is a sneak peek of their photo shoot:

They are so photogenic! I love families with lots of boys, I can totally relate to them.

Love, love, LOVE seeing siblings having fun and laughing together!

This place had some really cool and really big trees.

A sweet picture of Mom and Dad with the kids goofing off in the background!

I had a lot of fun with you guys today, and I can't wait to show you the rest of the pictures.

Announcements

I love making announcements in Photoshop. Here are two I have done recently for some Seniors.

Why Do They Grow So Fast??

I was thinking about what I wanted to do for my baby girl's 11 month pictures and I realized I had never posted her 10 month pictures. So here they are. I am so glad it is getting warmer, it will be nice to go outside for pictures again! Her sister wanted to join in for a few pictures.

And just for fun, here is one of my son. He is growing way too fast also. I can't believe he will be 6 this year!

Another "Eight Is Great"

Here is the announcement I made for my son's baptism. I couldn't choose just one picture, so I put a few on there. Just so you know, the black lines are covering his name and an address, they don't appear on the real invitation!! =) I made this whole thing in photoshop.

Eight Is Great

My son turns eight at the end of this month so I took him out today to take some pictures for his baptism invitations. Now I have to decide which one to use!

I can't believe he is growing up so fast!
