Last Minute Turned into Perfect All Around https://www.jackiekelly.photo/blog/2018/11/last-minute-turned-into-perfect-all-around Alright guys, this Mom made the wonderful decision to take matters into her own hands and contact a professional to get her son's high school senior portraits.

We all loved them so much and in the end she is now the proud owner of a beautiful heirloom quality 20x24 framed portrait, a heirloom box and a glass display case for the images that were included in the box. The smile on her face was priceless!

Here are some of my favorites:

How many of us have fond memories of turning pages in a family album or admiring hung portraits. Now we scroll through pages and pages of images on the web and all we have to hand down are cloud storage usernames and passwords?? That can't be right!

The One Where it Almost Didn't Happen https://www.jackiekelly.photo/blog/2018/9/the-one-where-it-almost-didnt-happen Not because these two aren't madly in love with each other, but because the wedding venue was surrounded by a very devastating wildfire until just a couple of days before their big day.

Thanks to the volunteer firefighters, prayers and a miracle not only did this couple get to be wed at their venue, but also locals got to return to their homes.

A few months late, so not so much a sneak peek, but more so for your enjoyment at this point.

I have an exciting new wedding package for all of my bridges to be! Be sure to contact me to chat!

This gentleman decided to ask her the big question on her birthday, of course she said yes, but what a birthday gift!

Here are some sneak peeks:

You know she is the one, so if you are looking into the perfect way to ask her, make sure you give me a call so we can capture the moment!

How Is He 6 Months Already https://www.jackiekelly.photo/blog/2018/1/how-is-he-6-months-already Can someone please tell me why time seems to pass by faster and faster. This handsome heartbreaker is already 6 months old and I cannot believe it. By the way, not only does he make sucking his own toes look tasty, but he is also one of the calmest little babies out there.

I am excited to be finishing up this gallery for Mom and Dad. For now, here are your teaser sneak peeks:

Whether you have one little one or a whole bunch of them, it's time you call me so we can preserve some of those memories before they grow up too fast.

I will let you discover for yourself what I am talking about but let me tell you, this little thing didn't even care and was curious as can be.

Check out these awesome sneak peeks of this fun and beautiful high school senior! She is one of the most awesome people I have met and I am so happy for her that she got special pictures like these to choose from.

The One in Florissant https://www.jackiekelly.photo/blog/2017/10/the-one-in-florissant When I got contacted by this couple I knew it would just love to be their wedding photographer. It was a beautiful, laid back and intimate ceremony somewhat far away from the nearest city. Their ceremony itself was a walk-through of how they met and fell in love, the most awesome part was that he didn't get to see her until the point they talked about the first date. What a precious thing to share with your closest family and friends.

Congrats to this awesome family!

I hope you enjoy the sneak peeks:

This little man stole my heart from the minute I saw him. He didn't care what we did, he was bright-eyed and played along. Would you believe me if I told you that he was totally happy and chill the entire time and we actually had to have Mom rock him to sleep to get some sleepy baby pictures?

Officially A Family https://www.jackiekelly.photo/blog/2017/7/officially-a-family Officially A Family

This young family has been a family before Mom and Dad said their vows in front of their closest friends and family. So this was a day full of celebration of love, life and family. By the way, that's the most awesome cake in the world and not a tree :-)

I know you are going to oooh and aaaah over the beautiful bride, but what I would like for you to know is that besides being just stunning, she made sure all the little kids running around her got her fullest attention and love whenever they asked for it. Never before have I see a bride who put her guest before herself like that. Very admirable!

Finding a wedding photographer is hard, so my goal is to make the process as easy on you as possible. Make sure to contact me, so we can sit down and chat about your special day!

Happy Planning!

You all know how much I love it when clients meet with me every year and I got to see this little girl, her Mom and Dad for three years in a row! How exciting is that? We did all sorts of things this time: We twirled, smelled flowers and played! The gallery is just going to be great!

Oh and guess what - - - there was a little bump, who I hopefully get to meet one day soon! Congrats on the growing family.

 

Gallery is a couple of days away from being done, but I just HAD to post sneak peeks today!

I have been looking forward to this session the minute I found out what the session theme would be. Let me tell you, this little guy did not disappoint. He was quite the model and humored us with a little bit of cake tasting. However the finale was when he decided to help the cake slide right off the stand.

It's always great to be able to take milestone pictures, because that usually means you get to see the baby grow up, well at least during their first year.

This little man is now 3 months old and so darn cute. Needless to say, we had to get some cuddles in first, before me moved on to pictures. I LOVE my job, in case you were wondering.

This Young Man! https://www.jackiekelly.photo/blog/2016/6/this-young-man This Young Man!

 

Ok let me tell you something. This little guy was just full of personality, smiles and love for his Mommy and he was so good with the camera. What's so funny is that he was not cool with the dirt associated with sitting on the ground or the frosting on his hands from the cake. Needless to say, it made for some great facial expressions and personality in all of his pictures.

Gallery is 99% done Mom, just putting on the finishing touches.

 

Here are your sneak peeks though.

How quickly time flies becomes most apparent to me when I look at pictures of my family from just a year or two ago and I think to myself "how little they all still are!". Same goes for this family, who I met when their daughter was just a little bug and now she is walking, talking and having fun!

 

I hope you enjoy the sneak peeks as much as I enjoyed taking them!

I was so excited for this photo shoot. She said he would be wearing his military attire for part of the shoot and I had hundreds of ideas running through my head. We had so much fun and these two were just the sweetest. Men usually aren't too "thrilled" about photo shoots but he did an amazing job and I think the pictures are turning out just beautifully. Just a little longer and I will have a gallery to present to them and their cute little dog.

It's not like our days aren't busy enough, but this family scheduled their photo shoot on the same day they would be celebrating Mom's success with all their friends and family! Seriously - BRAVO - for being so fun, energetic and relaxed during the session despite the exciting and busy day ahead of you!

Check out some of the sneak peeks for this beautiful family (I swear, Mom should be a model!):

I am going to tell you something right now. When these two were looking at each other, you could just feel the love. So all day long, I pretty much felt warm and fuzzy because I could feel the joy they felt. Doesn't happen very often and it made for a wonderful and mesmerizing day!
 

Thank you Marvelous Images for inviting me to shoot this wedding with you.

Second Annual - Polly's Daycare https://www.jackiekelly.photo/blog/2015/6/second-annual---pollys-daycare Second Annual - Polly's Daycare
 

I am so excited I got invited back to Polly's Daycare in Pueblo to take pictures of all the beautiful children these wonderful ladies take care of during the day.
 

If your child is one of them, I am excited to let you know the orders will work a little differently this year. Order forms will get mailed to Miss Polly's this week, so look for them within the next few days.
 

Fill out the order form and return to Polly's by the 30th and you are all set. Should you miss the deadline, please let me know and you can place your order online - shipping charges will apply at that point and the package prices might vary.
 


 

Does your child go to a daycare that does not offer picture services? Let me know! And I will get in contact with your daycare.

This little sweetheart was the girl of a thousand faces, all of the absolutely adorable. Secretly, I wanted to take her home with me and show her off, that's how cute she was. I don't think Mom and Dad would have approved though.
 

Check out these gorgeous sneak peeks of her and her parents... oh ya, and a cake got devoured at some point as well.

This one was so much fun! For some reason, mother nature decided to bless us with pouring rain every time we wanted to meet up for pictures. So finally after, what... attempt 4 or 5 we caught a nice sunny day!

You will love the sneak peeks! I love the feel of these city images and let's face it, it helps to have such a beautiful family as your clients.

Perfect Ending to a Busy Weekend https://www.jackiekelly.photo/blog/2015/6/perfect-ending-to-a-busy-weekend Perfect Ending to a Busy Weekend

 

I have learned something this past weekend... I have learned to always pack sun screen and to bring bug spray, if you take your clients to the Nature Center in Pueblo.... Luckily we all worked together to keep the bugs off the baby and Dad even went so far as to drive to two stores to get bug spray (they were sold out at both).

Roughly 20 bug bites later (four in the face people) we ended up with wonderful images of this cutie and her family.

Here are your sneak peeks.... and yes, the film strip is going to make it into their gallery.

Newborn Session Turned Cutest Sibling Session https://www.jackiekelly.photo/blog/2015/5/newborn-session-turned-cutest-sibling-session Newborn Session Turned Cutest Sibling Session
 

First off, let me tell you that this little guy was just the best baby ever! He slept the entire time no matter what we did or how we positioned him. So needless to say that took a whole lot of stress off of us. Then, to top of the beauty of this day, his siblings joined in and I am just totally in love with the way they treated their little brother and how much they love him. Beautiful children and it shows in the images.

Just putting the finishing touches on this gallery and then I will present it to the parents. I cannot wait to hear what they think.
 

Here are the sneak peeks for you:

This little guy did not want to go to sleep for me. Instead, he made sure he showed off his face-making skills. I just love everything about him, from his little toes to his full head of hair!

 

I hope you enjoy the sneak peeks as much as I do:

Baby J at One Day Old https://www.jackiekelly.photo/blog/2015/5/baby-j-at-one-day-old Baby J at One Day Old
 

Although I was a little bummed, J did not stand for Jack(ie), I was still beyond thrilled when my best friend finally had her baby this past month. After I discovered some text message silence after a few days of insisting I stayed updated, I knew it would not be long until I would meet him. Sure enough, a couple of hours later I received pictures via text message (gotta love technology) and I cleared my schedule and drove to the Denver area the next day.
 

Looking at how beautifully the sneak peeks turned out, I wished I had been there for the delivery, just so Mommy would have more photographs to remember this special day by.
 

Here he is: The most handsome little newborn!!

The Sun Came Out for This Sweet Sunshine https://www.jackiekelly.photo/blog/2015/5/the-sun-came-out-for-this-sweet-sunshine The Sun Came Out for This Sweet Sunshine

If you are from the Colorado Springs area you probably know that is has been raining every weekend and lately, every day. Mom and I were worried we would get rained out. After a little back and forth and adjusting our schedules we could not have planned this for a better day or time. No rain, no harsh sun... just perfect! Top that off with just the cutest little model and you have an amazing day!

 

I am working on the final touches for this gallery, but did not want to keep the crowd waiting for the sneak peeks. So here they are:

If your little one just turned one you know how amazingly quickly time flies and how much your baby has grown since you first got to hold it. Don't miss out on preserving those precious memories and call me today!

 

See you all next time!

This little guy is so photogenic and I am so excited his parents choose me to take all of his milestones photographs. With the first birthday cake smash being one of the last baby milestones, my heart does get a little heavy knowing that I might not get another call from his mama for a little while.

I am putting the finishing touches on this gallery, but as you can see, the photographs came out so well, I couldn't help but share a bunch of sneak peeks with you.

A few weeks back I received a call asking if I could be present for a family gathering. They were celebrating all sorts of great events and news that happened in their family and just wanted me to be there to capture them interact with one another. This event happened to fall on Easter, so that added one more thing to their amazing list.

Where in the World is Jackie Kelly - Colorado Springs Photographer https://www.jackiekelly.photo/blog/2015/3/where-in-the-world-is-jackie-kelly---colorado-springs-photographer Where in the World is Jackie Kelly

 

Well I am never far from home for too long and most importantly, I am never far from you you!

 

I have tried to make it a point to utilize several different Social Media and Marketing Platforms so no matter which one you are subscribed to, you will always get the latest updates or know what I have been up to. Here is a list of my favorite platforms:

 

Facebook - When I am in-between sessions, I have been known to rummage through my archives and deliver my favorite photographs to my Facebook fans. While I am working on client galleries, I will put together a quick blog about my session which you can usually find here on this website, but a link to it will always appear on my Facebook page as well. All in all, here is where you get the latest and greatest news and updates.

Love My Facebook Fans and am so grateful for all the love I have been showered with!

Instagram - Are you interested what Jackie Kelly the person is up to? I am currently completing my personal project 365 (one picture a day) on Instagram as well as send out a quick update on new blogs that went live. What are you waiting for?

Follow me!

Thumbtack - No idea what Thumbtack is? Well if you are in need of a service, you send a request through Thumbtack and up to five professionals will contact you with quotes. I love this place as a consumer because it eliminates the guess work. You can see the professional's profile, recommendations, etc. and you know you are dealing with a real person in the end. I love the competitiveness as a professional and the ease as a client. It's the best of both worlds. I would love for you to check out my Thumbtack profile!! 

Check Out My Thumbtack Profile Here! It's my Pride and Joy

On and while you are there, if you write a review about me, I will give you $20 off your next sitting fee :-) Ain't that something!

Google+ - Pretty much the first platform to which I will post blog updates. I could always use more Google+ followers and if you want to know that a blog went live, that's where you will find out first.

So why don't you stop by and give me a +

Pinterest - Gosh I love this place, I will post pictures, blogs, etc. you name it here! I just love seeing people re-pinning my stuff and it getting thrown in the mix of searches and maybe inspire a person or two in the process.

Get your Pin On

 

Have I forgotten one? I might have, but one thing is for certain: No matter if you are near or far, I am always close ;-)

Here is something I didn't exactly think of: Just because the weather has been nice for three days and the snow has been melting, doesn't mean that all the snow has melted.

So we worked our way through the mud and snow and I am so glad we did. I think this gallery is shaping up to be just gorgeous!

Here are a some sneak peeks that are particularly sweet:

Portraits for His Healing Light Ministries https://www.jackiekelly.photo/blog/2015/2/portraits-for-his-healing-light-ministries His Healing Light Ministries

 

I feel very blessed and honored I got hired by His Healing Light Ministries to take some updated portraits. I am so excited about the way the photographs turned out and oh, did I mention they were in the middle of filming when I was invited over? I got to be on a movie set, how cool is that?

 

Do me a favor and stop by their website and read up on their mission and you will agree that it is simply wonderful to have a place like Healing Lights Ministries right here in Southern Colorado.

Look Who Is Turning O-N-E

 

Sometimes it's so hard for me to find words to describe a session. This is especially true for this little sweetie. Maybe, it's because she didn't make it easy on us, or maybe, it's because she was just the cutest... no matter if she got grumpy at times.

Regardless, I am so glad I got to meet her and her family. I am hoping to have the full gallery available for her parents by the beginning of next week. Looking at the sneak peeks, you already know they are going to be great!! By the way, tell me the theme didn't work just wonderfully.

The Life of A Snowman https://www.jackiekelly.photo/blog/2015/1/the-life-of-a-snowman The Life of A Snowman

 

This one was especially fun because it was unplanned. It was a very warm day and the sun was quickly melting all the snow that had fallen a few days earlier.

So we threw on a few more articles of clothing on our youngest and played in the backyard.

Snowman number 3 lasted just long enough for me to snap a few pictures and endure a snowball fight before he too became history.

Mixing Work and Pleasure - Colorado Springs Family Photographer https://www.jackiekelly.photo/blog/2015/1/mixing-work-and-pleasure Mixing Work and Pleasure

Or something like that....

 

Last week, I traveled to the Denver area to meet up with my beautiful friend and her family to take their family portraits... and of course, chat and catch up.

Oh and their poor little pup got bit by another dog, which we did see until later :-(. Where is that other dog owner!?!?

I am so happy for this family, since they will soon welcome a new addition. And because she is my best friend, I will teach the new baby that I am Auntie Jackie and assume first dibs on the cuddles and kisses.

 

Congrats friends, I couldn't be happier for you guys!

 

Are you ready for your family pictures? Make sure you contact me and we can sit down for coffee and talk about your vision!

Winter Family Portraits - Colorado Springs and Pueblo Photographer https://www.jackiekelly.photo/blog/2015/1/winter-family-portraits---colorado-springs-and-pueblo-photographer Winter Family Portraits

 

Ok, I admit. A cold front was coming through, so it was windy and well, cold. As a matter of fact, Colorado Springs got snowed in pretty badly just a couple of hours after the photo shoot. These guys were absolutely amazing and such great sports!

I was very excited for this session as it had been planned for several months and I could not wait to meet everybody. We found a wonderful location and hung out for an hour just walking around and taking beautiful pictures (as you can see) while freezing to no end... Ok, ok, I was wearing a winter coat, so I cheated... But gosh was it worth it!!!

Are you ready to book your family session? Make sure you contact me and we will plan your perfect shoot.

Give the Gift of Photography - Colorado Springs Family Photographer https://www.jackiekelly.photo/blog/2014/12/give-the-gift-of-photography---colorado-springs-family-photographer Give the Gift of Photography

 

I think it's always great when people decide to book a photo session so the photos themselves can be a gift to the ones they love most.

In this case, I had the pleasure of photographing a great woman I have known for years and her family, including sister and future brother-in-law. Although we didn't have a whole lot of time to catch up, we made the most of our time.

We all had fun and it shows in the gallery I was able to present to my client.

 

Now go ahead and check out some of the sneak peeks:

I am just going to assume that you saw this gorgeous little lady last week, when I posted her session blog.

Well, Mom and I talked and decided to meet up again to see if we can't get more cute photos of her and let me tell you, I am glad we did. She is just the perfect model and oh so much fun to work with. Besides, I got some more cuddle time in, since I feel like baby and I are totally besties now :-).

 

Are you expecting and interested in having gorgeous natural photographs taken of your newborn baby for you to cherish forever? Make sure you contact me and we will discuss the ins and outs of this fun session!

In the meantime, like my Facebook so you can get all the latest updates and sneak peaks!

From Bump to Baby - Colorado Springs and Pueblo Newborn Photography https://www.jackiekelly.photo/blog/2014/12/from-bump-to-baby---colorado-springs-and-pueblo-newborn-photography From Bump to Baby

 

I don't know if you had a chance to see Miss R.'s Maternity Session Blog just a couple of short months ago. But if you did, you will be excited to hear that she and her husband finally got to welcome their precious little princess!

 

Mom and I have been in contact since she was 3 months along, so this was very special to me. We would stay in touch throughout the pregnancy... I even got a text when she went into labor! I could not wait to meet their baby and finally, at the beginning of this week, I did and let me tell you. WOW, what a pretty little thing. She is absolutely perfect and I loved cuddling and talking to her.

I am only a few short edits away from being able to upload and present her parents with their gallery and I am totally stoked about it.

Here are a few of my favorites from this session.

I hope you enjoy them!

Are you expecting? If you are, congrats! Your life will change in the most beautiful way. If you want maternity and/or newborn photos taken, please make sure you contact me ahead of time, so we can discuss the process and schedule your sessions. In the meantime, don't forget to check out my little walk-through of how to prepare for newborn sessions.

 

Love, love, love me some newborn babies!!!

F Stands for Family... And Fun! - Colorado Springs and Pueblo Photographer https://www.jackiekelly.photo/blog/2014/12/f-stands-for-family-and-fun---colorado-springs-and-pueblo-photographer F Stands for Family... And Fun!

 

It's not every day, that you run into a family that is this fun and sweet to you from the moment you meet them. As we strolled down the path to where we would spend the next 30 minutes together, we had already discussed how cool it was to be a big sis and before we knew it, time was over and we talked a little football on our way back to our vehicles.

 

I feel truly blessed to have met these two and their adorable kids!

 

These sneak peeks don't even give them and the great time we had justice. Yet, they are still pretty stinking awesome! 

 

You simply MUST get your family in front of my camera!! Sessions are affordable and oh so much fun! Contact me, ok?!

High School Senior Sessions - Colorado Springs and Pueblo Photographer https://www.jackiekelly.photo/blog/2014/12/high-school-senior-sessions---colorado-springs-and-pueblo-photographer This Is Your Year

 

Don't just let anybody take your senior pictures! You need to like the photographer's style and your personalities need to match so you both have a great time. Great Time = Kick Butt Photos! And I don't like to brag, but I am pretty cool! You can read my Facebook Reviews if you do not believe me.

You will have a hard time finding your favorite among the great selection of photos I will upload to your gallery. But once you do, make sure you get the wallet sized prints (to give to family and friends) and large prints (for your room, 'cause you don't actually own enough printed photographs of yourself).

Anyways, I know you will enjoy your shoot with me, so make sure you and a parent contact me so we can schedule your session!

Cake-Smash-A-Palooza - Colorado Springs and Pueblo Photographer https://www.jackiekelly.photo/blog/2014/12/cake-smash-a-palooza---colorado-springs-and-pueblo-photographer Cake-Smash-A-Palooza

In a gentle, non-disturbing way...

I love watching little one's reaction to cake. Some dig right in and others do not want to make a mess. The latter was the case with Miss C and once she realized it was ok with Mom and Dad, she started to dig around the cake a little, periodically checking if her parents were still ok with it of course. Too adorable, you should have been there!

Happy first birthday Sweetheart!

 

Check out the sneak peaks:

I love all the little places Colorado Springs has to offer to photographers and families who look to have some outdoor photographs taken!

This time, we went to Quail Lake and it was good seeing this little cutie again. I cannot believe how much she has grown!!!

 

Finally, Mom and Dad got in front of the camera too and I had a blast hanging out with them all.

Now, I am only sharing a couple of pictures here as there was another purpose behind this photo shoot (besides catching up :-D) and I don't want to take anything away... So here!

Your child is beautiful and you know what I am talking about!!!

I love getting cards in the mail and usually I only get them during holiday season but still, I love seeing all of my friends' children grow up and although I can usually see them on Facebook, there is something special about a card... something I can hold in my hand, put in the tree, on the fridge or wherever and just knowing that somebody thought of me. Priceless!!

One of the vendors I offer through my website actually helps you design and create your cards this season with a bunch of templates to choose from. If you want to use photographs that we took in the past but your gallery is not active anymore, just let me know, I can always turn it back on. But why not book a session, it's been a while, hasn't it? You won't regret it!

Enjoy these sneak peaks and then contact me for your personalized session!

The leaves might not be on the trees anymore, but boy do they allow for some fun for the kids :-)

N., D. and Baby Bear - Jackie Kelly Photography serving Colorado Springs https://www.jackiekelly.photo/blog/2014/11/n-d-and-baby-bear---jackie-kelly-photography-serving-colorado-springs N., D. and Baby Bear

 

Editing photographs always brings a great sense of joy to me... Knowing I soon can deliver my best work to another happy customer gets me all giddy. However, I have to admit, it has been a while that I laughed out loud THIS MUCH when editing and that is probably the reason, why I just had to share these sneak peaks with you all.

Why did she laugh so much? - You might ask...

Well, because we had so much fun together and these two were very willing to try everything! And well, sometimes my ideas are probably best kept in my head, because they might not be as easy to act out as I think. 

N and D are just soooo made for each other and their little puppy Bear was just the cutest little guy!

Go ahead, tell me that you cannot see the love and fun these two share. I dare you...

 

I hope you and the love of your life are ready to meet up with me and spend just one hour together so you too soon can have lovely photographs like these to show off to your jealous friends!

If so, contact me today!

Happy Fall Season From Jackie Kelly Photography https://www.jackiekelly.photo/blog/2014/10/happy-fall-season-from-jackie-kelly-photography Happy Fall Season

 

We all love fall, don't we? The weather is nice enough to stay outside all day long without breaking out in major sweats, the leaves are turning all sorts of beautiful colors and the kids like to run around and play before the harsh winter cold keeps us all pretty much locked into our homes.

 

This is the season to remind you to take out your photographer! Allow me to tag along on one of your family excursions and snap away. You will love the outcome and I am sure the photographs will bring back fond memories for years to come!

 

Check out this little guy at his favorite pumpkin patch!

Birthdays Are For Celebrating https://www.jackiekelly.photo/blog/2014/9/birthdays-are-for-celebrating Birthdays Are For Celebrating!

I love birthdays, especially if it's the birthday of a little one. From first birthday cake smash celebrations to our oldest becoming a preteen and more, birthday photographs are always fun to look at. Syrus is Three!Taken about one month before he actually turned three to give enough time for ordering of party invitations!

You might have a big or small party planned. Personally, the last thing I want to do, is having to worry about meeting with a photographer the same day. Birthdays are for celebrating! So go ahead, enjoy the day, share some laughs and clap even when it took more than the first try to blow out all those candles.

Although you can hire a photographer to capture the entire day, it's also fun to dress up your child for special birthday photographs.

However, for those, you should meet with your photographer before the actual birthday. There are two reasons:

  1. If you plan on sending out party invitations what better than to use one of those photographs from the session.
  2. If you are anything like me, the anticipation of a birthday is gone the second the big day is over and all of a sudden getting those photographs is the last thing on your mind. Well, I have found myself regretting this decision many of times! I just don't want to do that again!

Syrus is three!The child doesn't always need to look at the camera for the photograph to be special! What three year old doesn't hide behind things or needs bribing in order to pose!? So when you book your birthday session, make sure you give yourself ample time to wait for your photographs to be processed by the photographer and still be able to get those invitations printed. Generally, I think 4 weeks or more is best! That way, you can get it off your to do list and plan for the big day!

 

Go ahead, contact me and then go back to planning the best party of the year!

"A Day in the life of" picture stories are always fun, especially in black and white as all colorful distractions have been removed.

To me, there is little that tops the joys of childhood: the carelessness, play and laughter. Therefore I have decided to follow this little one around for a day and show you all that he is usually up to...

 

I hope you enjoy my little photo story of this two year old on a warm and wet Colorado summer day!

 

Well, this is the end of this story. I hope you enjoyed the photographs!

Cheeks, rolls, toothless smiles and giggles. She was just too much fun this time around!

August Maternity Session with Miss C https://www.jackiekelly.photo/blog/2014/8/august-maternity-session-with-miss-c Maternity Session with Miss C!

 

We started talking and before you knew it, I showed up at her home bright and early to do her maternity session. Planned was to stay close to her home for some pretty outdoor shots. Well, things don't always go as planned and sometimes, things go even better!

Not only did we take some outdoor photographs of her pretty baby bump, but we also got Dad and the kids to participate. We had so much fun, that we decided to take it inside and set up a quick home studio.

The girls just LOVED being photographed and posed every time Mom took off to chase one of them down. One of the girls is a cousin who happened to have spent the night prior and ended up finding herself posing for me!

 

This family ended up with 30 different photographs in their private gallery. All of which got converted to Black and White as well as Antique to give them more options and a total of 90 photographs (not that 30 doesn't already make your head spin!).

 

I hope you enjoy these photographs as much as I do!

Where I Shoot https://www.jackiekelly.photo/blog/2014/8/where-i-shoot Where I shoot... things to know about your photographer!

As I start communicating with people who are interested in working with me, I always assume everybody lives in Pueblo or Colorado Springs. Truth of course is, they do not. Maybe you don't live anywhere near those two town. Let me tell you right now, that should never stop you from booking with a photographer whose work speaks to you.

As a matter of fact, many of us travel to come see you! Did you know that?

Here are a few more items you should know about me:

  • I LOVE shooting outdoors, 12 months out of the year!

 

 

 

 

 

  • I prefer to photograph newborns in their own home. To learn more about newborn sessions, click here. Warm / Kiss

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • I will travel from Monument, to Ellicott, to Woodland Park and Pueblo at no additional charge.
  • Outside that travel area I generally ask for $50, unless it's a destination photo shoot.
  • You are always welcome to come to Colorado Springs and Pueblo and I will show you my favorite spots!

Sending warm wishes,

If It's Pretty, Frame it! https://www.jackiekelly.photo/blog/2014/7/if-its-pretty-frame-it If it's pretty, frame it!
 

How long has it been since your first digital point and shoot camera or your camera phone produced high enough quality pictures that your old film camera became obsolete? One or the other has probably been true for many years now, if not both and the excitement of not having to get film developed anymore can still be recalled to this day. Seldom however do those cameras produce high enough quality photographs to print out and frame. If you have kids, you probably have some of those annual school photographs on your wall. If you are married, you might have one or two of those pictures on your night stand and if you took engagement photographs, then one could see one of those pinned to your office wall. Instead of turning our homes into something that resembles grandma's stair case, covered in pictures spanning decades and generations of family members, we rather take blurry cell phone pictures and upload them to our Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest accounts.
 

I am not hating on people who fit this profile, I have been known to do that myself. For one moment however, close your eyes or gaze out the window or stare at your child playing in the next room and think about the moments that really count. Wouldn't we all rather have photographs that evoke fond memories than pictures that make us blurt out "this was her first grade school picture" when people come over for dinner?

Our opinions might vary, however one day, I do want enough photographs around my house that weren't all taken at my wedding or my children's school years ago. Now I am not going to the extreme and designate a wall and ensure each frame looks different from the next, but when my kids are grown and their families come over for the holidays, I want their spouses or children stop at photographs and me being able to tell a story about said photograph or recall fond memories that go beyond "this is your Dad when he was your age".
 

I think you know by now that I think the only way this can be achieved is to ditch the point and shoot or camera phone, only purchase the wallet sized school pictures so people don't question your love for your kids because you didn't purchase any pictures and do what our parents did: Hire a photographer!

You might think "oh I get it... she is a photographer"... The truth is, if you browse your favorite social media site and read the comments to photographs that were taken by a professional, you will witness what I am describing above unfold. People say things like "Gorgeous, this is so her!", "This photo is really bringing out his personality", "look at how much they love each other!"... each photograph is making people recall personalities, relationships and memories. Now it is usually the photographer who posts those pictures to pad their portfolio and social presence, we all do that. However the people who hired the photographer, are actually getting prints. Small, big, canvases, metal, floating frames... gigantic smiles and chubby cuteness get hung above the fireplace, by entrances, in dining rooms, bedrooms and hallways. When we have guests, we secretly hope they will comment on said prints and admire them as much as we do.

Bottom line, if it's pretty, frame it! We spend a good amount of money on family photographs, from paying the photographer for their talent to purchasing the prints, because we know that our cell phones cannot achieve what a professional can! Create memories and freeze in time, who we love and what we love about them.
 

So if until now you have worn blinders take them off and realize that professional photographs are an investment worth more than the dollars spent on them. And no, your camera phone cannot achieve that and quality IS better than blurry quantity!!!

Find a photographer whose style matches yours and allow them to show the world what you and your family is all about!

You will not regret it!

 

Keep up those pretty smiles!!!

Everybody Has to Start Somewhere https://www.jackiekelly.photo/blog/2014/7/everybody-has-to-start-somewhere Everybody has to Start Somewhere
 

 

The journey is different for every photographer. So you look at different portfolios and you realize, we all have different styles. Some differences as subtle, some are extreme. Some of us ended up specializing in family portraiture, weddings, newborn or even boudoir. Of course there are many more categories, however I am assuming that you are interested in having your or your family's photographs taken, so those categories are probably most important to you.
 

Everybody has to start somewhere, so as you scout for your photographer there are many things to consider.

First off, know that everybody who decided to extend their love for photography out to the public loves what they do and is proud of the product they are able to deliver to their clients. Whether or not someone is new to the business, does not mean at all that they are less experiences, skilled or knowledgeable. Many of us have studied and practiced the craft intently for many years, before starting a photography business. So why am I telling you this?
 

The answer is simple. You can have excellent photographs taken by someone who is new to the business aspect of photography and lucky for you, many of them offer discounted rates for the first few months or even year to get business going. So don't discard someone whose portfolio is smaller than others, as long as their style speaks to you. Which brings me to the next subject.

I already talked about every photographer having a different style. Some deliver photographs that look like the subjects were taken to a mysterious fantasy world for a couple of hours and left to explore the unknown. Others create photographs with subtle, dreamy tones and colors, or on the contrary photographs that are bold and colorful. Some prefer natural lighting while others are expert strobists who can create amazing lighting with their setup. Some are able to make skin look like porcelain and have beautiful butterflies surround the subject in post production while others are able to capture the rare, candid, non-posed moments the best.
 

There you have it, we all have our own style. So shop around and look for a photographer whose style suites your taste, otherwise you will be disappointed. Not because the photographer is bad. No by no means, but because you expected butterflies when that's just not what they do. Although it never hurts to ask, you are very likely to get butterflies from someone who loves adding butterflies. Ok, so I hope this whole butterfly talk made sense.
 

Once you have narrowed it down to just two or three photographers, see if they have time to sit down and have a cup of coffee with you or speak with you over the phone, to see if your personalities match. After all, you will be spending time together planning for the photo session, during and afterwards. Hiring a photographer you like and who you feel understands what you want, is important to both you and the photographer. Speak up and make sure they understand what it is you want so they can deliver for you!

In the end, if you liked your photographs, make sure to brag to everybody! Not only are photographs an investment to be proud of, but your photographer relies on referrals to grow they business.

 

Of course, ultimately I hope you allow me to show you what wonders I can do for you in preserving your memories of the now!

Surrounded by Kids https://www.jackiekelly.photo/blog/2014/6/surrounded-by-kids This past Friday I got invited to Polly's House, a daycare in Pueblo, CO.

I was very excited to take pictures of all the kids and as it turns out, the kids were equally excited to have their pictures taken!

While setting up kids changed, got their hair fixed up and some even practiced posing for when it would be their turn. We took pictures in the back yard and all the kids waited patiently until it was their turn, watching and helping me with the other kids.

Talk about getting to know each kid and their relationship with the other children. What an experience and Polly and staff were so sweet and helpful throughout the photo session.

All of this morning I worked on getting the private galleries set up for the parents to view and order prints from, but was so excited about all the pictures, that I could not help but share a few!

 

For information about Polly's House, please contact Polly at: 719-250-5659.

 

Looking for your child's gallery? Follow the instructions on the sheet you received at Polly's.

 

Are you a daycare provider and interested in scheduling a photo shoot? Contact me and we will discuss the process over a cup of coffee!

 

As always, keep on smiling!!!

The Perfect Gift for A Very Special Person https://www.jackiekelly.photo/blog/2014/6/the-perfect-gift-for-a-very-special-person
 

Preparing for a holiday or someone's special day can be stressful, if you let it. What to get, what to get...?
 

Usually the answer is right there in front of you. Just look at the people who mean most to that person and there is your answer. PICTURES!

Photo shoots are so much fun, especially for the kids. This is simply because they get to be themselves. They get to be goofy if they want to be and run all over the place. As a photographer my job is to show who the people are and what makes them uniquely them and the only way to do that is to let them be them during the short time we have together.

So let them be silly.... ...or chase after a sibling......
 

 
 


 


 


 

and I will capture all those moments for you!
 


 

In the end you will walk away with fond memories, great pictures and of course, tired children ready for a long nap!! And who doesn't want all that?

If you do decide that pictures would be a great idea for your loved one as well, make sure you schedule your shoot several weeks before the event. This gives you ample time to pick and choose from all those pictures and decide what kind of print you think will be perfect!

 


 

So what are you waiting for? Contact me and we will go over your perfect session. And who knows, as you go through and pick your prints, you might decide you want greeting cards made of your favorite picture and guess what... you can do that here while sitting in front of your computer. Isn't that great?

 

Happy planning and thank you for considering me!
