My best 12 images of 2016!

Colorado Springs wedding photography

I shot my first wedding of 2016 on January 1st, and my last one is this afternoon, December 31st. It’s been an amazing year! I also did tons of portraits: newborn babies, families big and small, couples, high school seniors, and even a dog or two! Here are my best images of the year, month by month. If you’re one of my lovely clients and you don’t see your picture here, don’t feel bad. I chose my best images of the year for this list, not my best clients! (You’re ALL the best!) Not counting yesterday’s wedding and the one I’m doing later today, I delivered 6,840 wedding images and 1,181 portraits in 2016, not to mention all other jobs I did, like head shots, commercial work and fashion stuff! Needless to say, it was tough narrowing all of that down to just 12 images! Enjoy!

Tanya and Lola

How can you not smile when you look at these portraits of Tanya with her sweet puppy, Lola? Technically Lola’s a “senior citizen”, not a puppy, but don’t tell her that, because she’s got energy to spare. She’s very loved, and there’s an obvious bond here. Such a good girl! I loved making these portraits for Tanya!

Kira turns one!

family photographer Colorado Springs

I’ve been documenting Miss Kira’s first year, starting when she was only a few days old, and now she’s ONE! How can this possibly be? And how could she possibly be any cuter?!? It just kills me when toddlers do that wobbly walk. Gaaaah! So cute! Kira has developed an adorable personality, she laughs, smiles and chats constantly (but when she has her “serious” face on, it melts your heart too), and she has her parents, Amy and Tyler, completely wrapped around her finger. I’ve so enjoyed photographing her over the last twelve months. Here are some of my favorites from her official One Year portrait session. Adorable!

Welcome Levi!

As a family photographer in Colorado Springs, I’m always tickled when I get to create beautiful newborn portraits for my clients, but these images are extra special to me! Say hello to the newest member of our family, our nephew Levi! He was only five days old when I did these portraits of him last week at my studio. There is nothing like a newborn baby. So very sweet! Sigh. He’s such a little angel and we’re so happy to welcome this handsome fella into our family!

GO BRONCOS! BEAT THE PANTHERS!

Colorado Springs Broncos fans

Calling all Colorado Springs Broncos fans! Are you one of us? The big day is here and I’m beside myself with excitement! All last week I invited friends and clients to my studio for free Broncos fan portraits. They really hammed it up for my camera. It was so much fun! Here’s one of my favorites, my corny friend Amity. To see the rest of the fan pics, visit my Facebook page HERE.

Now GO BRONCOS! Beat the Panthers!
