Part 2 of Eloise’s portrait session found us at her incredible house in downtown Colorado Springs. I want Heather to be in charge of decorating my house–their place is amazing!
Eloise’s grandparents were visiting, so great lifestyle portraits with them were one of our top priorities! And of course, I also wanted one big giant smile shot from Eloise, who obliged me with this one almost immediately after I walked in the door!

I love that we have this fantastic candid of Eloise reading with her grandfather. I know when she grows up she’ll treasure it as much as I treasure a similar portrait of me with my Poppa!

Another great reading moment of Eloise with her momma. Books will be big in her life–her baby shower was a book shower!

After spending some time inside we went for a walk to their favorite park a couple of blocks from their house. I want a stroller as comfy as theirs–it’s incredible!

Gotta love a happy baby in a swing!

This is my favorite shot of the night–fantastic dramatic light, the mountains behind them, and a great evening walk.
