Family Photography in Palmer Park

family photographer Colorado Springs

As a family photographer, I have to say that the favorite thing about my job is watching families form and grow, and documenting their progress over time. Lucky me! So I love the latest portraits I made of the D family in Palmer Park last year. (Yes I’m still catching up on sharing pictures I made months ago 😅) I have been photographing this beautiful family from its very beginnings, when Sean and Bobbi got married at the historic Pauline Chapel in 2009. After a couple of years of enjoying being footloose and fancy free newlyweds, they added a daughter and then a son to the lineup. It was no surprise to me that Bobbi and Sean’s children turned out to be gorgeous, and I had the honor of doing newborn portraits of each and then doing family portraits every now and again over the years. Look how big they are now! What a lovely family in every way. ♥ I always enjoy a chance to catch up with the D clan and make new pictures as the children grow. Have I mentioned that I love being a family photographer?!? I’m so lucky!

Family Portraits in Old Colorado City

family portraits in Old Colorado City

I did these adorable family portraits in Old Colorado City of Vivian, her mom Julia and her dad Mark just before Halloween, and Vivian is such a hoot! The last time I saw Julia was when I did her maternity portraits in her eighth month, so it was fun to finally meet the little peanut that was in her belly. Oh my gosh, Vivian is a major cutie pie! I sure got some fun pictures of her. What a ham! This little monkey has got personality and energy to spare. These pictures make me smile!

A few personal photos


Last month Pat and I made a short trip to Texas to attend the Digital Wedding Forum Convention and the Imaging USA trade show in San Antonio. Afterward, we snuck away to Austin for a whirlwind visit to see my cousins and aunt. It was so nice getting to hang out with them! I did a few impromptu portraits. Here are my favorites. Enjoy!

My cousin Sheila and her beautiful family.

My cousin Omar and his beautiful family.

All the kids. Love them!

Rhea, who’s already started college.

Sierra, aged 10. She’s such a little spark :o)

Shane. I can’t believe how big he’s getting!

Lily, who’s smart as a whip.

Katara. She stole Pat’s heart! What a cutie!

Bruce, who was two months premature, and now look at him! He’s a big boy now!

This little one is special: my god daughter, Hope.

Omar and his wife, Andrea.

Sheila and her husband, David.

My aunt (and godmother), Linda. I wish I could see her more often!

How did we get them to sit at attention so perfectly? Bacon!
