I was super excited when Drew contacted me about a maternity session. He and his wife are expecting their first child, a baby boy, and really wanted to have some portraits made before he arrived. They wanted Pikes Peak and maybe Garden of the Gods in the background. I'm so in love with their session. Almost every image came out great. Feast your eyes on this gorgeousness!

Colorado Springs Children's Portraits I've done several sessions for Stacey now. She mentioned that her family owns a farm and had several horses. And naturally, I insisted we'd have to have a session at her house. I mean, come on, horses?! Thankfully, Stacey didn't think I was crazy person and was totally on board. Since she had so many beautiful Crab Apples blooming on her property, we decided on two looks. First, we'd shoot the girls in fancy dresses, all dressed up and pretty, with the flower blossoms. Then, we'd get some cowgirl looks with the horses. The weather was perfect, the girls looked beautiful, the horses were cooperative. I'm super happy with how this shoot came together. -Whitney Colorado Springs, Colorado Children's Portrait Photographer Spring Family Portraits in Colorado Springs, Colorado An early May snow storm forced us to reschedule Erica's family session. We shot for maybe 10 minutes and had to call it because it was just too chilly for the kids. Attempt #2 went much better. Erica's daughter is blind but that didn't slow her down at all. She kept me on my toes. She's the sweetest big sister and loved snuggling and kissing her baby bother, twirling and dancing, and finding lady bugs. We had a great time and got some really beautiful pictures. -Whitney Colorado Springs, Colorado Family Portrait Photographer Colorado Springs High School Senior Graduation Portraits Ashton, like most guys, was not looking forward to pictures. We had a couple of neat, grungy locations (including an old abandoned junk yard) to shoot at and beautiful sunset light. I really like all the different looks and textures we found to work with. We got some really great pictures. Thank you for being patient and trusting me, Ashton. Congrats grad! -Whitney Colorado Springs, Colorado High School Senior Graduation Portrait Photographer Sunset Maternity Session in Colorado Springs, Colorado Aja and her husband are expecting their first baby and she wanted to get maternity portraits done. Aja was super laid back and let me have fun with several different locations, outfits, and lighting techniques. It still feels a little like winter and looks it too but we had some super awesome sunsets to work with (we actually shot her session over two different evenings). Those skies just took my breath away. -Whitney Colorado Springs Maternity Portrait Photographer Christmas Family Portrait Mini-Session in Colorado Springs, Colorado Even though we just did Halloween fall photos, Chelsea wanted portraits for her Christmas cards. So we planned on a cute little mini-shoot. I love how everything turned out. Jude was not happy about another photo shoot so soon... until we brought out the Christmas cookies. :) - Whitney Colorado Springs Family Portrait Photographer Halloween Fall Family Portraits in Colorado Springs, CO I just love seeing Chelsea's sweet family. This year for fall portraits, we decided to get Jude's costume. Chelsea made his Sock Monkey costume and it was just the cutest. We had a super fast session and when Jude was done, he just waived and walked away. So sassy. - Whitney Colorado Family Portrait Photographer Fall Engagement Portraits and Fall Family Portraits in Colorado Springs Jessica and Mark have been clients for several years now. They finally set a wedding date and asked if we could do a family/engagement session. They're always so much fun to hangout with, I couldn't say no. We had a blast (saw a squirrel!), played ball, had a leaf fight and found some super heroes! They're such a fun and happy family. I can't wait to photograph their Vegas wedding soon! -Whitney Colorado Springs, CO Family Portrait Photographer Engagement Photographer Wedding Photographer Fall Family Portraits in Colorado Springs, CO Jenna contacted me for fall family portraits this year. We had a run of bad weather and figured we'd get out quick and try to get it done before we lost all of the leaves. You can't really tell in the photos, but it rained on us over half the session. We were lucky, where we were shooting had a pavilion so we used that to hop in and out of the rain. The kids were troopers and we got through it and got some really great pictures. - Whitney Colorado Springs Family Portrait Photographer Fall First Birthday Cake Smash Baby Portraits Wow, how time flies. Seems like I was just at the hospital for this little dude's birth day. Hard to believe he's one already! He rocked his birthday pictures. He loved the Babiators, plane and leaves. He did not love when mom smash his face in the cake because he wasn't getting messy enough. Poor little buddy. He did eventually figure out it was delicious. - Whitney Colorado Springs Children's Portraits First Birthday Portraits Colorado Springs, CO Fall Bridal Portraits Kylie has been a client of mine for a while now. We had discussed several times how she had rushed her wedding and never had good bridal portraits. With her anniversary coming up in October, we decided to take advantage of all the beautiful leaves and get her bridals done. Amazingly, her and her husband still fit their wedding outfits. Her gorgeous, lace dress was worn by her mother as well. I'm really happy with how the shoot went, we got so many beautiful pictures and so many different looks. - Whitney Colorado Springs, Colorado Wedding and Bridal Portraits Couple's Sunset Portraits, Colorado Springs, Colorado Tammy and her husband hadn't had any photos taken in a while. So we had a really quick session in a nearby field. The mosquitoes were insane that night! I had to edit out clouds of them. But I do love that sunset light we got. - Whitney Colorado Springs Portrait Photographer One of my clients asked if I had or would do portraits for the Air Force Ball. I figured, why not. Every one is dressed up and beautiful already, what better time to get pictures? I posted on my page and scheduled a handful of couples for the evening just before they went to the ball. -Whitney Colorado Springs, CO Portrait Photographer Whitney Elliott is a top photographer in the Colorado Springs, CO area and specializes in Family Portraits, Portraits, Weddings, and Real Estate Photography.
Colorado Springs Family Portraits I met up with Kylie and her family for a super quick family session at sunset. We only had about 15 minutes but we got some really great pictures! - Whitney Colorado Springs Family Portrait Photographer Danielle reached out to me about portraits for her triplets recently. We planned a shoot for the evening. I was really excited about this shoot and picked up a few outfit pieces for the kids to have a more stylized look. We changed locations and outfits a few times. I love how the pictures in the field turned out. I'm a sucker for that sunset light. -Whitney Colorado Springs, CO Child Portrait Photographer Whitney Elliott is a top photographer in the Colorado Springs, CO area and specializes in Family Portraits, Portraits, Weddings, and Real Estate Photography.
Chelsea's 1950s Retro Pin-up Boudoir Photo Session - Colorado Springs, CO Portrait Photographer8/31/2014 Wow! I am totally in love with this whole session. We had SO much fun shooting these. Chelsea brought up the idea of a pin-up shoot several months back and we started planning. We used vintage pin-up imagery to style and pose the whole thing to try to be as authentic to the look as possible. Seriously, I had a vision board printed and hung up for us to reference while shooting. Let me tell you, some of these poses were crazy... to get into and to hold for any duration. Chelsea absolutely KILLED it. She ordered her retro dresses from Mod Cloth and as usual my makeup guru, Sam Dames, had her vintage-style makeup on point. This is one of my favorite sessions to date, everything came together perfectly. - Whitney Colorado Springs, CO Boudoir, Pin-up Photographer Whitney Elliott is a top photographer in the Colorado Springs, CO area and specializes in Family Portraits, Portraits, Weddings, and Real Estate Photography.
Children's Birthday Portraits - 2nd Birthday Tea Party - Colorado Springs, CO Portrait Photographer8/30/2014
It's been a while since I've seen Rachelle's sweet little girl. But it's her second birthday and that means pictures! I was glad to have an excuse to use my tea party props again. We had balloons and birds and flowers and cupcakes. Cupcakes are the best. It got a little windy toward the end and the fabric I had draped started blowing in her face. Which was just the funniest thing in the world, I guess. Hey, whatever works. Happy Birthday, Princess! -Whitney Colorado Springs, CO Child Portrait Photographer Whitney Elliott is a top photographer in the Colorado Springs, CO area and specializes in Family Portraits, Portraits, Weddings, and Real Estate Photography.
Goodbyes are the hardest. It was going to happen eventually but I'm so sad. Katy's family is PCSing and I have all the feels about that. Her favorite flowers are sunflowers and that's lucky because they are a popular crop around here. We decided that one of our last sessions for her family should be with the sunflowers since they are perfect right now. We did this super quick after work right outside the base. We were extremely careful not to damage any of the flowers. I think they turned out great. I will miss y'all so much! Thank you for choosing me to be your photographer. <3 <3 <3 Whitney Family Portrait Photographer Colorado Springs, CO Whitney Elliott is a top photographer in the Colorado Springs, CO area and specializes in Family Portraits, Portraits, Weddings, and Real Estate Photography.
On a whim, I decided to go out and shoot for fun. We needed a model and Destiny was willing to be my guinea pig. I found the old Prairie dress at a garage sale and some old books at a thrift store. We threw this together and loaded up to go find a cool field to shoot in. I love pretty much every thing we shot this evening. My inner weirdo-Nerd got to come out a little with our creepy Children of the Corn images. Thank you for being awesome, Destiny!! -Whitney Colorado Springs Teen and Senior Portrait Photographer Whitney Elliott is a top photographer in the Colorado Springs, CO area and specializes in Family Portraits, Portraits, Weddings, and Real Estate Photography.
One of my clients has taken in several foster children. She wanted to do fun birthday portraits for this sweet girls 5th birthday. Would you believe these were all taken within a few weeks of each other? She loves Frozen so we made a little magic with an Early snow storm. A couple of weeks later when the weather was nice again, we setup a really beautiful and girly tea part set complete with cookies and cupcakes. I can't share many, but I love how they all came out. Happy birthday, Sweetie! - Whitney Colorado Springs Children's Portrait Photographer Whitney Elliott is a top photographer in the Colorado Springs, CO area and specializes in Family Portraits, Portraits, Weddings, and Real Estate Photography.
First Birthday Portraits, One-Year Before and After - Colorado Springs Portrait Photographer8/14/2014 Another of my baby-plan babies is turning one! We did a really quick outdoor session for Ashton's first birthday. We also completed the one-year Transition series of photos we've been working on. Seriously. Check it out at the bottom. I'm in love with that progression. <3 -Whitney Colorado Springs Child Portrait Photographer Whitney Elliott is a top photographer in the Colorado Springs, CO area and specializes in Family Portraits, Portraits, Weddings, and Real Estate Photography.

Wow! I can't believe it's already Jude's first birthday! I remember his birth like it was yesterday. I still get a little weepy. We returned to the same location as Chelsea's maternity session for some 1-Year before and afters. I'm so happy with our results. Also... how crazy is that enormous dandelion?? Straight out of a Dr. Seuss book. -Whitney Colorado Springs, CO Child First-Birthday Portraits Whitney Elliott is a top photographer in the Colorado Springs, CO area and specializes in Family Portraits, Portraits, Weddings, and Real Estate Photography.
It may not be obvious from these pictures, but we were rained on the entire session. It was cloudy and overcast and not really ideal for pictures but we made it work anyway. Cassie was super fun and easy going and braved the frigid creek waters so we could try something a little more adventurous. I love how the water shots turned out. - Whitney Colorado Springs, Colorado Maternity Portrait Photographer Whitney Elliott is a top photographer in the Colorado Springs, CO area and specializes in Family Portraits, Portraits, Weddings, and Real Estate Photography.
It was such a hot muggy day when we went to shoot Maki's family and maternity portraits. We were eaten alive by mosquitos. In spite of the heat and bugs, Maki looked radiant, like a goddess. <3 - Whitney Colorado Springs Maternity Portraits Family Portraits Whitney Elliott is a top photographer in the Colorado Springs, CO area and specializes in Family Portraits, Portraits, Weddings, and Real Estate Photography.
