Senior portraits in Black Forest: Tom

This is Tom, my friend John’s younger son. They live in France, so Tom did the “foreign exchange student” thing so to speak, living with his grandmother here in Colorado to get the American high school experience. And he did it all, including playing football! This would have been Tom’s senior year, but he was forced to move back to France because of health reasons. I took these senior portraits of Tom while John was here in September to bring him back to France. Tom gave me about 10 minutes — I did the best I could! I love the sunsets out by Judy’s house, so I made the most of those 10 minutes and got a few cool images of Tom looking like a superhero. Bonne chance, Tom! I hope you enjoyed your year abroad!

Senior portraits in Colorado Springs: meet Jemma!

This is Jemma. Not only is she tall and beautiful, she’s also smart, funny and endearingly self-deprecating. I told her that she has model potential but I think she’d rather be saving the world than stomping down a runway. I had the great pleasure of photographing her and her horse, Lakota, on a very hot and windy day last month. It was so much fun! Jemma, enjoy your senior year — the world’s your oyster!

Colorado Springs family portraits: the M family

Introducing the M family! Erin and Mac have two beautiful kids 15 years apart in age. We did these pictures at high noon on a VERY sunny day (and you photographers out there know how challenging that is!), only a couple of weeks before they packed up and moved out of state. It’ll be a while before they get to see Mac’s mom again, so these portraits will help remind them all of happy times together in Colorado.

Just a few pictures of Erin and Mac, because they have plenty of pictures of the kids but NO pictures of the two of them.

Colorado Springs fine art portraits: Jess

Not my usual subject, indeed! In the past year or so Pat and I have been checking out roller derby on Saturday nights at the City Auditorium. Naturally, a visit to the King’s Chef Diner is always in order afterward! This is where I met Jess, who works there. The first time I saw her I knew I wanted to photograph her. Over time I got to know her a little, and when I asked she enthusiastically agreed to sit for me. I made these portraits on April 25th.

I know Jess has a very unusual look, but I think she’s beautiful.

Colorado Springs family portraits: Baby M at 6 months!

March 25, 2011 Baby's First Year

[ baby pictures in Colorado Springs ]

I’m chronicling Baby M’s first year and haven’t seen him since November. I didn’t think it was humanly possible for him to get any cuter than he was then, but clearly I was wrong! He’s just adorable and I want to pinch his chubby little cheeks all day long. We did these portraits in the client’s home, and M was a real superstar! So was the family dog, Louie, who steals a little piece of my heart every time I see him. I can’t wait for M’s first birthday — imagine how much fun that’s going to be!
