Casual Family Pictures in Fox Run Park

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.

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!

I’m having so much fun documenting this little peanut’s first year! I can’t believe how the time has flown since I did Kira’s newborn portraits. She’s so big now! Here she is at not quite seven months, in a portrait session we did just a few days before Christmas. Kira wins the internet for making adorable faces! Gah! So cute!

Renewing their vows :: Heather + Ray

Broadmoor wedding

On July 3rd of last year I documented a marriage proposal at the Broadmoor (to see those pictures, click HERE). Exactly a year later I was at the Broadmoor again, this time documenting a renewal of vows for a couple whose wedding I shot there a decade ago. Talk about full circle! I can’t believe ten years have flown by so quickly. So much has changed for Heather and Ray in that time frame (most remarkably, four gorgeous sons!), but what hasn’t changed is their strong love, support and admiration for each other. It was incredibly touching for me to be a part of this day, watching them profess their love for one another again, with their boys witnessing it all. What a wonderful day!
