Colorado Springs Family Photographer The P family

THis was my other mini-session in the apple orchard. It was so much fun even though there was a giant storm rolling it but it made for some beautiful fresh light. This family as you can see was so darling and I hope someday to get to work with all my new clients in Colorado again!

Naomi is Two....take two with the addition of her older bro GABE.

Photography is like any other skill...don't use it and you will lose it. I was painfully reminded of this little tidbit of wisdom last night when I went to audition for the the Colorado Springs Chorale. It didn't help that just before me a woman sang an unbelievable Italian aria and on her way out everyone was oohhing and ahhing...yes just before I stood up and sang my lowly rendition of a song I sang in Israel while on Semester abroad. I thought...hmmmm I was chosen to sing this solo..this will be great...then, while actually singing it it dawned on me me that I may have been chosen because there were only about 150 students in the program and there was only one other girl who was a "singer". Incidentally she sang her own solo in the program and the rocked it....here's a shout out to you Sarah...love you girl, to pieces.
Back to the subject at hand....I wasn't going to say anything about my painful experience because I apparently I have too much pride...but since I had a hefty piece last night, I suppose I'll eat the whole humble pie today and disclose. Years out of college and singing in church choirs will do that to person...make you think you are a lot better than you are...So with that I decided to go out and work on the skill that I am actually progressing at (or at least trying to) and not let it atrophe in a pitiful shadow of what it once was sniff sniff....Of course I am being dramatic, but heck thats what I do best, No friends? Friends....friends are you still with me? So as I was saying, full sun photogrpahy is not easy...it's so not easy that it is hard and very few attempt it on a regular basis....including me. And it is really difficult with a group....thus I rarely take the chance as what a royal pain to have to do your family pictures twice. So because Naomis 2 year old pics were not what I hoped...instead of putting away the laundry and cleaning the toilets, of course I went to this cool ravine/field that my new friend Amy told me about. And don't be jealous, but it was 58 degrees at 10:45 a.m. people on January 5th. Oh how I love Colorado. And with that, enjoy. Oh take note...Naomi was still a bust but my ususally very uncooperative Gabe was awesome.

P.S. I have my favorite, I am so in love with one of these and have already sent it to be printed....which on do you think?
