We met Andrea and Jason in Manitou Springs this weekend for their engagement portraits. We had a beautiful evening, and I baptized my precious 135mm lens by dropping it down a set of concrete steps. Oops! Before it jumped out of my lens bag though, it caught this:


A little bit of pretty flare on this next one…


After playing around Manitou for a bit (and getting their feet freezing wet in the stream) we popped over to Garden of the Gods to wrap up the session Colorado Springs style.

Andrea and Jason got some fantastic news last week, so her glow in this shot has nothing to do with photoshop!

We can’t wait to photograph their July wedding! Andrea and Jason are a fantastic couple who are obviously in love and we are so glad they chose us to be their wedding photographers!

Traci - I emailed Rachel the answer to her sunflare question–let me know if you have a similar question!
Rachel - soooo gorgeous T. LOVE the light you captured here!
Rachel Dallaire - Awesome pictures. I have a question (I totally understand if you don’t have time to answer it).
Do you have any good tips on sunflare? I’ve been working on it a little bit, and am getting some better results, but still not great. Does the lens matter? Where should the sun be positioned? Does a certain time of day make a difference? Your sunflare is *beautiful*.
