Stevi suggested the Paint Mines for her maternity session because it is absolutely incredible! If you have not been, you absolutely should go and explore this place. I grew up in Colorado Springs and have been photographing in the area for the past few years, but this was my first time out there. The rocks […]

Families are Forever…For some families, this statement causes massive anxiety and dredging feelings, but for others, it brings laughter, happiness, and sweet memories along with it. This family right here is the second feeling. They are all so sweet and loving. As you get older, you realize that pictures are some of the most treasured […]

Where do I even start? These two are some of my very favorite people! Alli was one of the most relaxed and sweetest brides I’ve ever worked with, and Jordan is so genuine and caring! They made the day go by seamlessly, even when things didn’t go exactly how they were planned (things not going […]

Ladies and gents, meet Jennifer. She is a Senior at Pine Creek High School and is just stunning! We went to Monument Valley Park- a favorite of mine lately, if you didn’t know. The park has so many different backdrops, that it is not to be missed! Jennifer is super sweet and uber-talented! She plays […]

Imagine you are sitting in a comfy chair, chatting with your best friend; your favorite drink and treat are brought to you. You feel comfortable and happy. The place smells of fresh coffee with hints of cinnamon. NO, this is not your house (I mean if it were you would be getting coffee yourself right?). […]

Congrats to this amazing family. I was so happy when I got a message, from Kim, asking if I was available for family pictures because Jonny was coming home to meet his son. Asher was born a few weeks ago and if you are new to my blog- I was lucky enough to do his […]

A pretty forest plus a fun couple equals some truly spectacular outdoor engagement photos! Nikki and Steven were so much fun! I knew Nikki back in high school, so when she reached out to me (a referral from a fellow photographer) I was so excited! They are getting married in October and it is coming […]

I was originally supposed to photograph a birth session for child number eight, baby Cora! However, when Cora decided to come early we changed the newborn session to a large family lifestyle session, right there in their home! It ended up being so much fun! Meet the Martinek family. Eight kids all together and they […]

Many unfortunate tragedies revolve around water. Sadly, I know this from personal experience. The devastation of something once fun turning deadly in an instant is one no one should have to experience. That’s why I am so incredibly grateful that there are places like Little Fins Swim School, where they teach an infant and child […]

“You are the Peanut Butter to my Jelly.” Meet Shelby and Will. I had the pleasure of doing their engagement session last year, https://mandypenn.com/2018/10/10/shelby-will-engagement, and was given the privilege to capture their amazing, and beautifully rustic wedding, at The Wedgewood, in Black Forest…which is becoming a favorite venue to shoot at. The Wedgewood, in Black […]
