Happy New Year!

We wish all of you a Safe and Happy New Year!

We will be closed through January 6th. However, we will be avaible for appointments only on Friday, January 2nd and Saturday January 3rd.

See you next year! (and I'll be posting many, many new photos!)

Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

We're counting down the hours until Santa arrives! Billy especially is so excited! He's been begging us to let him open his presents! Dani loves the tree, she been taking down the ornaments and trying to open the presents. Seeing the excitement on their faces is what I enjoy most about Christmas!! I'm looking so forward to tomorrow morning, opening presents!

If Santa's not too busy, he just might stop by our house tonight while he's delivering presents in Salida. We haven't told the kids, so it should be a good surprise! And of course, after the holidays, I'll be posting some our family Christmas memories.

Have a Blessed Christmas!!

Messner Family

I hope everyone is ready for Christmas, as we are counting down the last few days! We've been very busy, getting all the orders ready for Christmas! We will be posting many more family portraits over the next couple weeks, as we slow down after Christmas.

For anyone who hasn't made it in yet this year, we still have a few openings over Christmas break. So, while everyone is home for the holidays, now's your chance to get that family portrait that you've been meaning to do. We will be closed Christmas Day and New Year's Day, open by appointment for the rest of the Christmas break. For questions, or to schedule an appointment, call (719) 539-8386.

A few favs from the Messner Family's recent session:

Gonzales Family

Even though it's cold outside and nothing is green anymore, it doesn't mean there aren't still beautiful places for outdoor portraits. These were taken a couple weeks ago (before our big snowstorm). Although, the snow makes a great backdrop, especially if everyone is bundled up in their coats, gloves & hats. Here's a few of the Gonzales Family:

And, of course, the studio is always a great for portraits (without the cold weather).

Stevenson Twins

We recently did a portrait session for the Stevenson twins. They recently lost their mother in a fatal car accident. The Stevenson family will be holding a benefit dinner & fundraiser for the twins in January. Wild Iris donated a gift certificate for the silent auction. Watch in the Mountain Mail newspaper for details, time & location.

Billy's Christmas Program

Yesterday was Billy's Christmas Program. All the kids were so cute!

Little sister Dani and Grandma watching from the audience. It was a packed house!

Billy (far right) made a cute, little wise man!

Sawyer-Ginther Family

We're keeping busy with Christmas around the corner. Some of my favorites from a recent shoot in the studio:

Only 7 Days Left of Christmas Special

Jones Family

We're working hard on Christmas Portraits and Holiday Cards! Here's the Jones Family:

Tristan is 16 months and Kaitlyn is 3 months. Getting them to pose together was almost impossible, but they sure are cute!

Ben's First Birthday

Ben recently came into the studio to have portraits for his first birthday, what a little cutie!

The cutest little Bronco Fan!

Quin's Christmas Portraits

We've been busy with Christmas Portraits. And even through there's not a lot of snow outside, yet, there's plenty in the studio.
