As a photographer, I’ve always appreciated the time to do personal projects outside my usual weddings and engagement sessions. They’re a way to nurture creativity and keep the spark alive, even after 13 years of photographing couples. While many clients prefer safer and timeless ideas, which I can certainly appreciate—especially with Colorado’s breathtaking landscapes—there’s something exciting about stepping outside the box and that just so happened to be my home in Colorado Springs for a couple session.
When the Colorado weather cools, snowstorms become unpredictable, and the leaves fall from the trees, I find myself with a bit more downtime. During these quieter months, I often dedicate time to personal projects, which not only fuel my passion but also inspire fresh ideas for future sessions. This season, I wanted to create something unique—something different from the usual mountain views. Enter Chris and Jordan’s unforgettable Colorado Springs couple session.
Instead of heading to the mountains, I invited Chris and Jordan to my house. I envisioned a session that felt raw, intimate, and authentic—something that would stand out with sweetness. After a fresh snowfall, the three of us stepped outside and got creative. With Iration playing in the background, Chris and Jordan cozied up in my hot tub under the steamy lights. The combination of snow and warmth that typically doesn’t go hand in hand for my couples outside.
Authenticity has become a buzzword in photography, but capturing those genuine moments can be challenging when trends dominate social media. For me, a Colorado Springs couple session like this one felt like a perfect balance of connection, creativity, and individuality. Call it what you want… it was hot!
Whether it’s a bold idea or something simple and “safe,” I love crafting sessions that reflect each couple’s unique story. Chris and Jordan reminded me why I love my job—documenting love in all its forms. I hope their session inspires other couples to think outside the box and embrace the magic of Colorado’s diverse backdrops. I’ve taken couples to bathtubs with champagne, a dirt road with only headlights and a cool breath, a mattress on the floor, a rooftop with a blanket and box of chocolates.
If you’re dreaming of your own Colorado Springs couple session, whether it’s traditional or out-of-the-box, let’s chat. I’d love to help you create something as special as Chris and Jordan’s winter evening.
