Colorado Springs portrait photography
[ Colorado Springs senior portrait photographer ]

Avery’s parents are both teachers, and now she’s a senior at the high school where her father works. She was a blast to work with — throwing out the supermodel poses and the laser beam eyes! These were not retouched one iota. Her eyes really look like this and her skin just glows. Gorgeous girl! For her senior portraits, she asked for a field of flowers and some railroad tracks. We had one of those patented sunny Colorado afternoons going for us. It was just perfect for a senior portrait shoot.





Senior portrait double whammy!

high school seniors


I must say this is a first: two senior portrait siblings on the same day! Actually Chelsea and Justin are step-sibs. I shot their older brother RJ’s seniors a couple of years ago, so it was fun meeting them and comparing them to RJ. These two are as different as night and day, and they remind me of me and my brother Chuck at that age: best friends who squabble a lot! Chelsea wanted “pretty” and Justin wanted “urban”, so I definitely had to switch gears when it came time to switch teenagers!






Mitch’s senior portraits

family

This is my cousin Mitch! Well, he’s my cousin a few times removed. Let me see if I can get this straight… Mitch’s dad’s mom is my mom’s cousin I think. So that makes Mitch my cousin five times removed or something like that. Right? Anyway, he’s a cool kid! Mitch is a senior at Pine Creek up in Gleneagle. He’s really into skateboarding (as you can see from these pictures) and is a generally easygoing guy, just like his dad. The last time I saw Mitch he was only about 11 or 12 years old, so it was fun to catch up! We had so much fun taking these. I think we captured his spirit pretty well.

Thanks guys, I had a blast! Tamera




I believe Mitch has more shoes than I do (and that’s saying a lot). I think using selective color works well for this image.






How cool is this?!? Mitch can launch himself into a back flip off a tree! He’s the only person I’ve ever met who can pull off this stunt. Not only is my family photogenic, they’re talented too!

Michael’s senior portraits

friends


Here’s a cool kid that’s a senior at my alma mater, Doherty. Michael’s mom used to work with my mom several years ago; when it came time for Mike’s senior portraits Rosalie remembered that I’m a photographer, so she looked me up. I hadn’t seen her in a number of years and she’s just the same! What a nice person, and Mike grew up to look just like his mom. We had a lot of fun taking these portraits. Most of them were taken in and around Monument Valley Park, but a couple of weeks ago I had spied this cool graffiti wall south of downtown so I convinced Mike to let me take a few snaps of him there too. Wow, does it ever look cool! Well it doesn’t hurt to have a cool kid for your subject!




Here’s Mike with his mom Rosalie. Doesn’t he look just like her?!?
