We met Kari and Michael at Palmer Park this weekend for their engagement shoot.  We had such a great time with them.  They know just how to interact in front of a camera and we laughed a ton!

These two were so great at having cozy moments!

This was five minutes into the shoot.  TOTAL NATURALS!

I frequently ask couples to make each other laugh.  Kari went right for tickling…

We had a gorgeous afternoon with lots of sunshine and the last of the autumn leaves!

They brought their Chicago Bears jerseys along, so we came up with a few cute shots.

So cute!

We finished the shoot with some doggie shots.

Thanks for a wonderful afternoon, Kari and Michael!  We can’t wait for your wedding–we know it will be a spectacular weekend!

The weather was conspiring against us for Jack’s senior portraits (it started to downpour just as we arrived), so we raced to relocate his session to Palmer Park (where we didn’t see a drop of rain–gotta love Colorado Spring’s isolated showers)!

Jack is an amazing guy and if I had a teenage daughter (or even a toddler daughter) I’m pretty sure I would have arranged their marriage on the spot.

Jack’s gorgeous sister was the unofficial stylist of the shoot and so we got some shots of them together:

Jack carried her up a rock since platform shoes aren’t really made for rock climbing and I got some of my favorite pictures from the shoot out of it!

After the storm had passed, we made our way back to Manitou Springs for some shots at spots they’d seen while having lunch that day. I wanted to stop at some abandoned train cars Nic and I spotted last week:

Colorado Springs Family Portrait OpLove Shoot Sneek Peek

March 30, 2008 – 7:56 pm

OpLove is a non-profit organization run by photographers to give back to the military community. Families with a deploying military member are offered free portrait sessions by OpLove photographers.

I had an OpLove photography session at Palmer Park (one of my favorite Colorado Springs locations) on Saturday. Here are a few of my favorites:

This little girl loves her daddy so much. I love how she looks so much younger in this shot:

When I asked her to steal her daddy’s hat (after hearing that she loves to wear it), she corrected me. Apparently it is THEIR hat, not HIS hat.

He is equally popular with this little guy. I got a ton of great family pictures of everyone exploring the park.

I love portraits of a family walking. In this case, there was a lot of laughing and running.

And this is the inevitable outcome of running and being little. I told them that it was a good thing I have this photo for their lawsuit against me. ;)
