{The Paulson Famliy} Colorado Springs Lifestyle Family Photographer

Sometimes I wonder how people hear about me? I usually ask if they are new clients, but I forgot to ask this family & I remember mid-session thinking…”they are used to traditional/in the box photography.” Ha! Well…boy were they up for a surprise & challenge working with me. On the flip-side, I too, was challenged, but in a good way. It’s not everyday I work with families full of teenagers. Typically I have younger families (which I love because I get to grow with them.;)) So, needless to say, since they were majority of teen boys; they were less than thrilled to be there. LOL!!! I may have tortured them with my crazy/left-brained ideas. Truthfully, I was just doing ME. Even though there was resistance, I kept on smiling, laughing (mostly nervously laughing) & did my thing like I would with any other session. I don’t leave people hanging…I give direction with a general sense of what I’m looking for & then I let everyone loose…to “do you.” I learned quickly that movement is key in working with older kids. Yes, it may require a stretch of the imagination on their end & maybe more repetition than I like on my end…but all in all…we ended up with gorgeous lifestyle family photos. PLUS…sunset & check out stunning MAMA bear. It also helped to have 1 little sweet angel baby to put the focus on. Yay!!! Take a peek at a session that really stretched me mentally…
