Check out these cool urban family portraits! The N family wanted something different and unique, a set of portraits that reflect their personalities both as a family and as individuals. Single mom Mindy requested Evergreen Cemetery as one of the locations, not because they’re morbid or “goth,” but because they love Colorado Springs history and are enthralled by how it’s so well represented in this beautiful and serene place. (I agree with them!) After getting some nice portraits of them at the cemetery, we moved on to a more casual vibe in a favorite alleyway downtown. We were lucky to have such beautiful, mild weather on this mid January day, and I love the great urban family portraits that I got of this close knit family.
Candid Family Pictures at Palmer Lake
Love these candid family pictures at Palmer Lake! J and L are actually friends of mine so this isn’t my first time photographing them. I haven’t had the pleasure of photographing little M since he was a newborn, which made this extra fun! J and L wanted the pictures to look natural and reflect their lifestyle (bloopers included), so they dressed casually and chose one of their favorite family hangouts for the location, Palmer Lake, as they live nearby. M has so much joyful toddler energy, it was a ton of fun capturing that for them. What sweet photos! Love them!

Casual Family Pictures in Fox Run Park
It’s the M family, returning clients who wanted casual family pictures in Fox Run Park. I first photographed Shannon and Eric several years ago when they got engaged, then I photographed their nuptials at the Craftwood Inn in Manitou Springs. To this day theirs are some of my favorite wedding pictures I’ve ever taken. When V was born a year or two later, they called me up for some newborn portraits, and now six years later I was very tickled to see this little family again and make some new images for them. Look how beautiful V is! Just beyond beautiful. She looks so much like both Shannon and Eric, a perfect blending of the two of them. Not surprisingly she’s an extremely bright little one, too — loquacious, adorable, poised and outgoing.
It was so nice to see V again and get to spend a little time getting to know her. I had a wonderful time hanging out with all three of them and making these sweet, casual family pictures in Fox Run Park.
Family Portraits in Fox Run Park
I just love these family portraits of the Browns that I did in Fox Run Park in September! I’ve been photographing Samantha since she was a tween, and now she’s the mother of a tween, so that tells you how far back this relationship goes. I’ve documented Sam through practically all the stages of her life, and now that she and Joe have added a new little human to their lineup it was time to make some new family portraits, in Fox Run Park since that’s one of their favorite spots to spend time together. What a beautiful family! Aiden is a handsome little fella, and Izzie is suddenly so grown up looking now! It was such a pleasure to make these portraits for them and meet their new little guy! I’m in love!
