Floral Fashion

Totally loving this outfit for a Senior Session!  Check out the stores below to find each piece of clothing.  I know I say this CONSTANTLY but ACCESSORIZE!  Can't you just see here how the accessories MAKE the outfit?  You don't even have to wear the glasses.  You could play with them or bite on the edge of them or just hold them!  A lot of these items are on the pricier side but it's so easy to just snag the look without breaking the bank! red shorts floral blouse jean jacket and glasses

Make Up Night!

A few weeks ago I had a make up night at my house!  I had my super awesome make up artist come and teach high school girls how to apply make up.  They got to practice on a friend and follow along as Tabetha did one of the girls' make up.  The girls seemed to have a lot of fun… and so did I!  They went home with a beautiful, sparkly eyeshadow attached to one of my business cards… hint hint!  ;)  I think this needs to be an annual party! brunette with scarf shows off pristine make up

Preslee Pie

This little girl, our little caboose, has got THE most contagious personality.  She is so funny (on purpose!), silly, smart, a dancing-queen, a singing-princess, smart-alecky, compassionate, and such a great sister and our baby girl!  I just want to freeze her!!  I have to breathe into a brown paper bag every time I think about her leaving me for the big, bad world of kindergarten next year!!  (Insert me doing the ugly cry <here>.)  This child holds my heart. P.S.  Her last day of preschool is taking place as we speak!  :(

The End of the Road

There are not words to express my love and admiration for this little man.  He is courageous, sweet, brave, smart, silly, funny, and an amazing brother and son.  Not a day goes by that Bryan and I don't thank our Father in Heaven for allowing this sweet boy to continue living here on earth with us.  We would be lost without him.  This Friday will mark the last day of his long, LONG, LOOOOONG fight against Leukemia.  I remember blogging about this every step of the way when he first got sick.  I would use my blog as a form of therapy.  I could get stuff off my chest.  I remember blogging that he would nearly be 9 when he would be done with his treatment.  And now here we are… he's almost done with his treatment… almost done with cancer… almost done with third grade… and almost 9.  Carter, you have touched so many lives throughout the last 3 years, two months, and 5 days.  It has been a rewarding journey in so many ways but one I pray you will never have to relive.

Wear it Wednesdays! {Colorado Springs Senior Photographer}

I have decided that I need to start posting outfit options for my seniors.  They always end up looking SOOO darling but I know it's a stressful process; especially since they wear between 3 and 5 outfits.  (Although this year I will be aiming for at least 4!)  So, every now and then I will be posting some cute outfit options I find on line… none of these images are mine.  I also mention where I find everything along with the link to that store's website.  Enjoy!  (and please excuse the pixelation… It's just the size that they website posts the image on their end…) beautiful aqua sundress with a variety of shoes options for senior pictures

Little Sister {Colorado Springs Children Photographer}

tall green grass frames a beautiful little girl sitting in the forest I will say that I love all of my nieces and nephews equally… that being said… *sigh"… I've got a crush on this one!  This little girl… oh boy.  She is going to be a little heart breaker.  Lucky for her, (at least I think…)  she's got three brothers to make sure the boys stay away.  AND, she's got THE cutest voice EVA!  I just wanna eat her up!!

Brothers! {Colorado Springs Children Photographer}

We don't really live by any family.  We have Bryan's sister and her family that live about an hour away.  We don't see nearly enough of them but when we DO see them we live it up.  And I absolutely LOVE getting to take pictures of the kiddos.  These are the two oldest.  Their REALLY close in age.  Which one do you think is older? 5 year old boy sits on a log in the forest and smiles for the camera

Chelsea {Colorado Springs Senior Photographer}

Working with Chelsea was such a treat.  She models and has a part time job all while  going to high school.  The weather was… less than ideal but she rolled with it!  It was actually a lot of fun.  We made it into a little game… try to get a decent shop in between the gusts of 50mph winds.  It was seriously insane.  I haven't ever shot in that kind of wind before… and hopefully I won't make a habit of it.  :)  Thanks, Chelsea!  It was a pleasure!!
