Colorado Springs Wedding and Family Photographers: Real Photography

long time, no post

This is turning into the kind of blog I hate--the rarely updated, no photo kinda blog.  Well, I just can't let that happen.

Here's what's going on around here:

- First snow of the season on Sunday.  "Woo-hoo!" as my son would say (Nic taught him to say that whenever it's cold.)

- I have some very exciting things coming in the mail that will ensure that this blog gets the attention it deserves.  I'd share the news, but that would ruin the surprise. 

- I am watching Chuck while I type.  Hence the spelling errors (if there are any).  I am loving the new fall tv line-up.  Chuck and Life are the absolute best.  Journeyman, Bionic Woman, and The Next Iron Chef also get my vote.  But if you aren't watching Chuck or Life, you need to start.

And last, but not least, new photos from a new session!

maternity session

Now, when you read what I'm about to write and look at the photo below, you might start to feel a little violent.  I met this adorable couple today...and this skinny minny is less than three weeks away from her due date.

But, and I say this as a woman who got horrifically fat when pregnant, you're not allowed to hate her.  She is super nice and I am so excited for the arrival of their baby girl!  (If she hadn't been so wonderful or nice, I would have been more tempted to photoshop on a extra chin or stretchmark or arm fat in a fit of ugly jealousy...)

manitou springs

I've been wanting to shoot in Manitou Springs since we visited there last week, so when Erin took me up on my offer of a photo swap, I was thrilled.  I love her cute pregnant belly!

And if you're thinking "ooooh--I love Erin's top--I'm going to email her and ask where she got it so I can buy one, too" too bad.  You're out of luck--her sister designed and made it for her.  (Kelly and Heather, if you're reading this, you're officially on notice.  Start designing me some clothes pronto or I'll sell you and buy a new awesome-clothes-making sister before you can say "couture.")

any day now

This baby will be making its way into the world any day now.  I can't wait to meet him/her and take its newborn photos!  (His/her big brother thinks it's a sister...)

These next two were inspired by Marie Cox, who uses bright colors and unexpected backgrounds so well (if you're in North Carolina, check out her website).

happy momma's day

To all the mommas--I hope you had a wonderful day.
