six months is by far my favorite age - the sweet cheeks and the big bright eyes are just too much for me!!

2012-01-09T21:11:00.000-08:00

happy 1st birthday, little miss!

i will admit - this was this first one year session i've done with a baby who wanted NOTHING to do with the cake! cute as can be, miss laina did not want the cake and did not want us encouraging her to try it. even after a taste, and even while fighting an obvious urge to poke at it - she refused! her brother got her interested a bit and even got her laughing. but she still made it clear she wasn't up for the cake smashing. she's a sweetie, however, and has big bright eyes that every photographer LOVES!

blessings to you, cute girl, as you enjoy your second year of life. (and guess what - i don't like cake much either!!) :-)

{miss lilly}

2012-01-03T14:08:00.000-08:00

I can't help but add a few more of Lilly. This little miss has gone through so much in her 4 years of life, and yet has a charm and spunk about her that makes her shine like crazy. After my experience with last years heart gallery kiddos (see them here) and meeting Lilly a few weeks ago, I am certain there is just something different about these young lives. I work with tons of children. And they are ALL so very special in so many ways. But really, there is just a spark about these heart kiddos that makes me smile & cry at the same time with a warmth inside that makes me see how precious life really is.

Miss Lilly, you are a little miracle and I am so blessed to have met you!!

.heart gallery 2012.

2012-01-01T20:12:00.000-08:00

so blessed to be a part of this gallery again.
i get to say i've met 5 more incredible people who have survived more than most can fathom.
here's just a few takes - more to come.
stay tuned. :-)

this little miss was a breath of fresh air to my day! and her little 'cheese' smile cracks me up. :-) and while her sweet smile was one that makes you smile right back - some of her other little looks & faces are simply precious. thanks to little miss e and her mom, it was great to meet you and i look forward to seeing you again!

2011-12-04T19:05:00.001-08:00

i have. :-)

.sweet baby caileigh.

2011-11-14T19:35:00.001-08:00

sometimes life stinks. punches are thrown and you just can't figure out why. but amidst it all, there is joy in the little things. especially little things like miss caileigh. my heart hurts for my dear friend and her family as they struggle through some big life stuff. but i know that God is sovereign and has a beautiful plan laid out for them. it may not be easy getting there, but they will. and while they battle through it all they get to enjoy two absolutely beautiful miracles. a brand new little miss and her beaming big brother. *love*

much love and many hugs to you, friend. thank you SO much for flying me to your home to not just take pictures but enjoy much needed time with you and your new precious babe. i enjoyed every minute of it. even the icky first trimester blues felt easier to handle just cuz i was with you. LOVE you, friend!!!!

I have not been able to do many sessions this Fall, but the ones I have been able to do have been simply enjoyable. This family session was no exception! Thanks to the "p" family for trusting me with your family photos. It was great to meet you and I look forward to working with you again!

The benefit to having a train in your backyard?

Having friends over for dinner and jumping out back to take some quick pics of their beautiful girls and having an instant fantastic backdrop!

{beach babe}

2011-09-22T20:32:00.000-07:00

Yea, pretty sure I need to move to the beach. =-)

Or somehow get a beach like this one transported to Colorado.

Completely enjoyed pictures and dinner at Laguna Beach with an old college friend & his beautiful family.

Doing pictures for friends (and of my own children) is the very reason I love what I do.

So, enjoy. The cutest family ever with a stinkin' adorable little beach babe. =-)

i do. =-)

{the g family}

2011-07-25T20:42:00.001-07:00

We have railroad tracks behind our house - and it's rare to have 20 minutes go by without a train. So when we decided to do the session there, I figured we'd have to move every so often to watch a train go by. Not the case this morning! And while the boys were dissapointed, it gave us a great opportunity to get some fun shots on the tracks. =-)

Thanks guys, it was great to meet you!!

This first one cracks me up - I asked for his 'tough' face! =-)

{the w family}

2011-07-23T21:34:00.000-07:00

I get excited every time this family emails me asking to do another session. My gosh, can you blame me? Look at these beauties!

Remember them HERE, and HERE, and HERE??

I really, truly, love & appreciate my faithful clients. It makes my job mean so much more when I can watch families and their little ones grow.

So here they are, growing so fast, and looking more beautiful each time I see them!

{brynlee}

2011-07-23T16:14:00.001-07:00

starting dangerously close to sunset i was excited to photograph this little gem - regardless of the lack of light! LOVE this little gals spunk, style, & natural ability behind the camera. from what i've heard, she's quite the little dancer, too! thanks to brynlee and her fam....everytime i head down that way i'd be honored to work the camera with you!! =-)

{baby collin}

2011-07-07T21:04:00.001-07:00

so every now & then i am unable to edit a session without continuously smiling while i work.

this happened to be one of those sessions. =-)

i mean, seriously, can you blame me??? look at this cutie!!!

{baby jack} | colorado springs newborn photographer

2011-07-05T21:16:00.001-07:00

i am loving the recent baby boom! =-)

meet baby jack. one of the sweetest little guys i've gotten to work with lately.

hoping this recent rush of babies keeps me busy and curbs my baby fever. =-) so far, so good!

{happy birthday cayden}

2011-06-30T18:21:00.001-07:00

We battled horrid Monument winds, super harsh overhead sun, popping balloons, and much more during this session....but we got to end it enjoying a cupcake smashing. Something about a cupcake just makes things all better. =-) And have you EVER seen a little guy dig into a cupcake like this?? =-)

{lil lydia}

2011-06-27T20:26:00.001-07:00

Can you believe lil' Lydia is already three?!?!? Crazy. Where in the world does time go??

So far we've been able to drive up to all her birthdays, and I hope we can continue that tradition for many many years to come! Her daddy went to high school with my hubby and I (yep, I married my high school sweetheart!) and it's such a blessing to be able to continue that friendship with our families as we continue to grow up. ;-)

Happy Birthday, Lydia!! Love & hugs to you always!!

{baby james}

2011-06-26T20:48:00.001-07:00

This little man didn't sleep a wink for his newborn session...but we still managed to get a few shots that made it seem as though he was. =-) And then some super cute ones of him wide awake, of course! The best part of this little guy is that he's the son of a friend - so I will get to snuggle him again! (Yes, K&J, your CD is being held hostage until you bring that cutie to me so I can love on him!!) =-)

{baby erich}

2011-06-22T21:11:00.000-07:00

I was pretty certain that the stories of babies being born in their cars on the way to the hospital were just for movies.

Nope. Not the case. This little man was born in the back of his family's SUV - at a gas station here in our town - at 3 in the morning! I know, crazy, right?!?!

And while you'd think his eventful entrance into this world would indicate a busy & high energy baby, he's a super sweet & laid back little fellow. =-)

Welcome, baby Erich!!

so here i am again with the l family and i want to post every picture from the session. =-)

but we have a new puppy. and he doesn't let me sleep much. so i'm practicing the discipline of going to bed earlier. so i made put a limit on my uploads, and i'm sticking to it.

but that doesn't mean i won't add more tomorrow. =-)

thanks to the l family! i loved working with you again and am already anxious for the next time we meet up!

2011-04-26T20:10:00.000-07:00

My first experience with birth photography was fantastic! Aside from missing the birth (labor was faster than anyone expected!), and a nurse that made certain i didn't take any pictures from the nursery window (darned hepa laws)....it was a blessing to meet 1 hour old Hudson and take a few pictures for him and his family. I enjoyed every minute of it. There is just something about brand new babies & the whole experience of labor & delivery that makes me certain this is something i will one day offer. For now, my family schedule is not quite flexible enough. I've got many a friend having babies soon and they are willing to let me practice on them....so i'll stick with that for the time being! THANK YOU so much to Hudson and his family for being brave enough to let me try it out on you. Enjoy your growing family!!! I am excited to gift you with a free session as a BIG THANK YOU. You can redeem it at any time in Hudson's first year. Many, many thanks to you all!!!

i went to high school with this little babe's daddy. i'll admit it - we were 'band geeks' together. =-) this session was the first time i've seen him since shortly after i graduated. i love how this job (and facebook!) makes connections like this happen! congrats to you both on your new beautiful little miss. enjoy her - she'll grow so fast!! i look forward to seeing you all again. =-)

here's a few pics from the indoor part of her 2 year old session...and yes, she's full out laughing in the second one! pics from the outdoor one coming soon. they might possibly be even cuter...if it's possible!

so for now...check out this little cutie pie....

2011-04-01T21:18:00.001-07:00

one of my favorite parts of my job as a photographer is the people i meet.

especially when a client becomes one of my dearest friends. =-)

this little man has become a regular on my blog, and i do admit he's one of my favorite kiddos to photograph.

this session was no exception.

his daddy is deploying to afghanistan in a week. he'll be gone 6 months.

and his mommy is expecting a baby in 5 months. the math doesn't add up. =-(

the sacrifices of a military family....{sigh}

so before daddy leaves we had some fun with his abu's. and i'm certain no little man can compete with how well this little man pulled this off. =-)

~ to the r family...i am so very thankful for you. thank you for being a great friend, a soldier, and a buddy to my little boy. =-) you will be in my prayers daily - all 4 of you. ~

THANK YOU FOR THE SACRIFICES YOU MAKE FOR OUR FREEDOM!!!!!

without further adieu....the cutest little soldier EVER!!! (and his fabulous mom & dad) =-)

there is nothing sweeter than a brand new baby.

and this little man is no exception.

not only is he completely gorgeous,

but he's a gem behind the camera.

sweet little face...tiny toes...tiny fingers...

i love it. :-)

{garrett}

2011-01-29T17:59:00.000-08:00

Meet Garrett.

He's the 8th child from the Mended Little Hearts Travelling Gallery.

I took way to long to get his post up here...for that I apologize! For all of you who have been bugging me to introduce you to this last miracle...well, here he is. :-)

I first 'met' Garrett through his blog, via AnnaSophia's blog. Hehe. Funny how "cyber" that sounds. But there is something about reading a families thoughts and hearing their stories that really does make you feel like you know them. Anyhow. Several months later I was able to meet Garrett for the first time for real. And he was just as I'd thought he'd be. He was funny. He seemed very mature for his age. He loves his sister. He's athletic, friendly, polite, and up for anything! In a very short session we got the shots we needed for the current traveling gallery (which is moving to the Saint Fancis Medical Center this weekend, by the way!!).

He will also be spotlighted at the upcoming Heart Ball.

Here's the video they will be showing at the ball. Take the time to watch it. It's amazing. Just like Garrett and his family. :-)

Here's Garrett's Blog. It's got lots of great pictures of him!!

And here's Garrett.....!!

Garrett, it was such a pleasure to meet you. You are in my prayers often and I know God has used you and will use you in so many ways. I look forward to seeing you again!

Introducing.....

After many requests, I finally decided to put a few packages together. This is the first of a few! For more details, send me an email or give me a call. 719.510.8973

Still on the press...a First Year package and a Wedding package!

Thanks for stopping by!! :-)

{amy & joe :: the bride} | colorado wedding photographer

2011-01-15T20:54:00.000-08:00

so i've known amy since college. 15 years to be exact. and while we lost touch for a few of those years, i've been blessed to have her back in my life and cannot begin to tell you how honored i was to be there to be a part of her big day. thank you, friend. muchly. :-)

so there's this thing about amy. she's got a smile and laugh that is contagious. not just contagious - but it's constant. this girl can bring a positive light to any situation. and i LOVE that!!! so when going through the pics of her that we took at the log cabin prior to the wedding, i could not help but gravitate to all the laughing pics. can you blame me? i can pretty much hear her laugh when i look at these.

that's stinkin' cool, if you ask me. :-)

{amy & joe :: the rings} | colorado springs wedding photographer

2011-01-15T12:07:00.001-08:00

did you know that a long time ago when wedding rings were first 'invented,'
people believed that the 3rd finger on the left hand was connected by a vein to our heart?
and they believed that somehow, by placing the ring on that finger,

your marriage would be kept pure and intact?

i like that.

:-)

cold. beautifully cold.

2011-01-04T20:52:00.000-08:00

cold & still

2011-01-02T20:35:00.000-08:00

I really cannot say enough that my favorite part of this job is when I get to work with friends and family. That, and all the super cute kids I get to meet. Here's a few from a recent session done for a friend and her family. A friend's family + cute kids = happy kristi. :)

i love thumb suckin' babies.

both my kids did the paci thing, and while i know a paci is much easier to wean than a thumb,

it's got to be one of the cutest things EVER.

thanks to my friend, R, for asking me to take these for you.

i'll do it anytime. :)

{Update on Mended Little Hearts Traveling Gallery}

2010-12-13T21:11:00.001-08:00

Well - it's in route! The traveling gallery that I was blessed to be a part of is on it's way through Colorado Springs. It's currently at the Broadmoore, and will be moving to the Chapel Hills Mall on the 19th. After that it will be in Librarys, the Cheyenne Mtn Resort, hospitals, schools, YMCA's, and on and on and on. I'll update the location of it as it moves.

So, in case you didn't have a chance to 'meet' them, or you'd like to see them again, you can see their stories HERE.

And to learn more about the gallery you can visit AnnaSophia's blog. Her mom is one of the amazing women responsible for the gallery, and she updates the blog with information on the unveiling, the gallery, and the Heart Ball.

Again, I cannot express enough what an amazing blessing these kids have been to me. It is an honor I will never forget!

Thank you, AnnaSophia, Sebastion, Thad, Tea, Garrett, Will, Elizabeth, and Lucy. :)

Oh - and Garrett. You haven't seen a post on him yet - but you will! I promise. He's got quite a story. He's quite the young man. I'll have his pics up soon! If you get too impatient, you can always go see the GALLERY!!!!

Phew! :-)

It was a pleasure to work with you. Have a very Merry Christmas!

while this business picks up quicker than i was prepared for...

i still hold fast to the title "stay at home mommy."

which means my first job, always, is my family.

and though it often takes me awhile to get to the thousands of pictures I take of my kids,

i take more than they'll ever know what to do with.

among all the snap shots i sometimes even get a 'session' in with one or both of my babes.

so here's kassidy's "6 year old pictures."

we were at sitting bull falls, near my sisters place.

it was impromtu, and it was quick.

but i do believe they will be adorning my walls.

i love this girl.

more than i thought possible.

clever. spunky. smart. witty. artistic. silly. sweet. bold. loving.

that's kassi.

{something new}

2010-11-30T21:08:00.001-08:00

so.

much.

fun.

pretty sure this will be the trend for sessions with me from now on.

i think it's called 'lifestyle' photography, though that term is used rather loosely.

never-the-less, i love it. :)

it's more candid. very little posing. i'm horrible at posing so that's great news. hehe.

it's real. it's fun.

the kids love it.

so do i.

i think the parents even end up enjoying themselves. :)

so that's it.

me.

my camera.

a fantastic family.

a super fun and non traditional location.

loved it.

simply loved it.

gonna do it again.

yup.

:-)

thanks, SO much, to the M family for braving the COLD and doing something beyond the norm.

it's quite possible you are now my favorite family to photograph.

as if that were ever in question. ;-)

Here is one very good reason I plan to start focusing my photography business on babies....(and kids...but right now we're talking about babies, hehe)....

Seriously - who wouldn't want to take pictures of cute little babes like this all day long?!?!?

I am not sure why i keep getting all these incredibly gorgeous kiddos to work with, but i'm certainly thankful for it!

These two cuties made the session easy with eyes and smiles like these...

Introducing....my best friend's new baby...

And although we live 858.26 miles apart, timing was just right and I got to meet him when he was only a few days old...I got to spend 3 days snuggling him and loving on him...and here's proof from my cell phone's camera. :) I love this little guy. And am blown away by how much I miss snuggling him. Just might have to come visit again, friends. LOVE YOU!!!

I get to see this gorgeous little miss every year, right about this time. I count it a blessing. :) She becomes my little side kick within a few minutes of the sessions, and I enjoy her smiles and her spunk immensely!

Her little bro is just as cute - and makes getting a giant smile a challenge! But when he delivers it...man, it's a good one!

Much thanks, again, friends. I'm glad we were able to squeeze you in!

Just days after this little man was born I was able to meet him and his family. I love when clients book me far enough in advance for me to anticipate the arrival of their little one right along with them. :) This little guy was as awake as can be for about 90% of the session...you'll even see daddy in a picture below here trying to coax him to sleep. He gave us about 5 minutes of sleep at the very very end....

And his big brother was way too much fun to photograph...:)

I told him I liked to take pictures of piggy toes....so he pointed them right at me :)

Thanks, so much, to the L family! I look forward to working with you again!!

when we first moved into this house, this little aspen in our backyard was not so impressive.

to be honest, it's still pretty tall and gangly.

and i am not guessing it will ever be as full and round as the ones in the front yard.

but this year i noticed something.

beautiful, bright, bold, color.

mmmmmm, the color!

so much color, that the fullness doesn't matter.

perhaps there's a little life lesson in that.

i'll let you decide what it might be. :)

happy fall.

If you don't remember this sweet little girls bright blue eyes and precious face from last time, click HERE! And then be sure to come back and enjoy these. :) Little Miss E has certainly become one of my favorite little gals to photograph. I'm certain you can see why!

2010-10-29T21:09:00.000-07:00

Two ridiculously cute little boys.

A relaxed mom and dad.

A little sun, a few clouds.

Mountains, smiles, a few golden trees, giggles, and full blown laughter...

...put it all together and you have the perfect session!

Thanks to the O family! It was great to meet you, and I look forward to working with you again. :)

About a year ago I did newborn photos for this family and their new little guy...remember these cute little faces?? This little miss is now one of my favorite little models...I wish I could post all of her pictures! She has a personality that makes photographing her a complete JOY! And the little guy who is now 1 year old...he made us work a little harder...but with this bright of a smile - it was completely worth it!! Thanks to the V family for trusting me again with your family photos. It is an absolute pleasure working with you!!

As this family of three was preparing to move (to another country!) they decided to get a few pictures that would help them remember the gorgeous backdrop of Colorado. So we headed to Garden of the Gods in hopes of getting a great shot of Pikes Peak in the background. Wouldn't you know...it was covered in clouds ALL morning. Sheesh! However - with a family this good looking and a few spots with fantastic color...still very pleased with the outcome! Blessings to you three as you leave Colorado. Best wishes to you, and I hope you'll always look at these pictures and remember your time here! (Just imagine Pikes Peak back there....!)
