Colorado Springs family portraits at Red Rock Canyon: Brad, Sarah, Isaac, and NaomiNovember 30, 2009
Yesterday I photographed the family of my good friends Sarah and Brad Walters. Two-year-old Isaac is like a nephew to me, and baby Naomi will always have a special place in my heart, because I was there when she was born. The kids wore their new hiking boots for a family outing at Red Rock Canyon, one of my favorite spots in town. Thanks, Sarah and Brad!

Colorado Springs family portraits in the Garden of the GodsNovember 29, 2009
Yesterday I photographed the family of Kari Crowe, a fantastic photographer from Dallas. Her parents live here in CO Springs, and she and her siblings are in town for Thanksgiving weekend. The four siblings surprised their parents with a family portrait session from me as an early Christmas present. It’s always a great compliment to be hired by a fellow photographer, and I particularly loved getting to know Kari and her family. As you’ll see, they love to laugh and have a good time. Thanks so much, Kari! You guys are awesome. If any of you would like to give a portrait session as a Christmas present, please contact me at charlotte@charlottegeary.com. I have gift certificates available for portrait sessions, albums, and prints. You can also apply my gift certificates to wedding photography, so if you know anyone getting married next year, consider giving them a photography gift certificate.

Wedding ideas: Wedding venues and scenic locationsNovember 25, 2009
It’s time to start planning 2010 weddings! The first step is one of the toughest decisions — choosing a venue. I’ve been lucky to be able to work at some incredibly beautiful places throughout Colorado and around the country. Here are some pictures to help all the wedding planners out there, and for the rest of us to sit back and enjoy the views. I love looking through these photos!

Article in Popular PhotographyNovember 23, 2009
I’m excited to be included in the current issue of Popular Photography! They interviewed me last month for an article on family portraits. They were particularly interested in the way that my portraits look composed but not contrived. They misquoted me (most of the quotes in the article are not my own words), and I’m not pleased with the way they cropped my photo, but still it’s great to be a part of the story. I’ve been published in magazines intended for brides or professionals, but this magazine’s mainstream appeal makes it a great addition to my list of publications. The December 2009 issue of the magazine is available now on newstands everywhere. Check it out if you’re curious! On a different topic, currently my photo is the first one the home page of Smugmug: http://www.smugmug.com/

Flushmount album with premium fabric coverNovember 17, 2009
I completely adore my latest wedding album! It’s a flushmount album covered in aqua book cloth. The cover fabric is similar to dupioni silk, but more durable and substantial. It’s SO pretty! I keep staring at it. I’ll be offering this style of album as an upgrade to my current line of flushmount albums. The cover fabric comes in a variety of colors to suit your style. If you have already ordered an album, you are welcome to upgrade it to a premium fabric cover if you’d like. Please contact me with any questions.

Last week I photographed this fun and fabulous family up in Cripple Creek. 2009 has been a huge year for Heather and Leon, with the completion of their dream house in the mountains, and the arrival of gorgeous Eloise. I was happy to be able to help them document such an important year!

Snowy Red Rock CanyonNovember 15, 2009
It snowed here all weekend, so when the sun came out this afternoon, Mike and I hurried to Red Rock Canyon with the dog. The frosty blue sky and snow-capped evergreens were as beautiful as we’d hoped. Ally was even happier than usual, because it was her first snowy walk of the season. She makes me smile.

Colorado Springs family portraits in the Garden of the Gods
I photographed this adorable family on Sunday at the Garden of the Gods. The boys were initially reluctant to have their photos taken, but after I showed them all the fun rocks they could play with, they opened right up. The Garden of the Gods is a great setting for family portraits for many reasons.

Colorado Springs engagement portraits: Amanda and StephenNovember 11, 2009
Over the weekend I got together with Stephen and Amanda for an engagement session in the Garden of the Gods. They are getting married next spring at Lake Tahoe, which should be fabulous. We wandered around the Siamese Twins rock formation, climbing rocks and enjoying the warm weather. Thanks, Amanda and Stephen!

Behind the scenes: 2009, part 1November 10, 2009
Wow, I haven’t blogged in a while, sorry! It’s been a busy few weeks, and I’m still trying to get caught up on work after a trip to see my family in Virginia last month. I have a lot of things I’ve been meaning to post, including this fun series of behind-the-scenes photos from 2009 weddings. My good friend Heather took this picture of me crawling around in a field of flowers, taking this photo of Jenny and Brian last spring. Here are lots more photos to reveal what happens on the other side of our cameras!
