A quick sneak peek for Breanne and her sweet family from their mini shoot before we close for a little break.
We’ll be closed until Tuesday–we’ll catch up with phone calls and email then. Have a great weekend!

colorado springs engagement portrait photographers | garden of the gods | lisa and dave
Oct 05, 2008
Lisa and Dave had originally planned to have their engagement shoot at Rampart Reservoir, but rain forced us to change our plans and we met at Garden of the Gods, instead. We are so grateful that they were flexible and ran around with us as we tried to beat the rain!
We caught some fall colors, which is always fairly tricky to time or predict!
If you go to Garden of the Gods for pictures, it’s criminal not to visit this spot.
We also visited High Point at the park, and it was cute, because it was where Dave had intended to propose to Lisa! (It was Easter, though, and if you remember it was snowing and freezing cold, and Lisa didn’t want to get out of the car. [I remember that day because after visiting family, we went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. Texas Roadhouse is my favorite place in the world, so any time I eat dinner there, the date and weather and what I was wearing are burned into my brain forever.])
The top of Pikes Peak had a cloud around it, but it got a dusting of snow from the weather system that kept us out of Rampart Reservoir!
I love this series of pictures!
(This next shot is a great example of how changing your angle can totally change the background. I was standing in the same spot for both the previous photos and this next one…but in this one, I stood up from my crouch.)

My photographer friends are always reminding me that I am SO LUCKY to live and photograph where we do. (Something I try to remember when I want to cry about the lack of beach photo opportunities!) A behind the scenes shot like this illustrates it nicely…
When we visited High Point, we were treated to this guy and his digiridoo. (It was pretty surreal.)

I met with Savannah last week to shoot her senior portraits and we had so much fun exploring Colorado Springs together. She’s a fellow photographer, so it was a blast to show her a spot and watch her do something amazing in it!
She is so incredibly beautiful! I can’t believe she’s more comfortable behind the camera than in front of it!
When I spotted this little log and got excited, she walked right over to it and hopped up on it like this. So totally adorable!
We found lots of great little spots…
I completely adore the color of the weeds in this shot!
There’s a great spot of unused train tracks next to the main train tracks through town that’s perfect for pictures. (I’m a sissy when it comes to train track safety and feel compelled to point out that these shots are from an area that is used to hold cars with plaques that say things like “property of the railroad museum.”)
That museum property makes such a good prop!
Savannah is definitely a photographer. Because just out of frame in this shot is a big pile of dog-poo. But it was the only patch of ground that would work for this shot, so she handled it like a champ! (And then went home to bathe in bleach.)
Right off the pages of a magazine…
