SNOW!!!!!

I LOVE the snow. Here in our neighborhood, I'm the one who can be found running around in the streets yelling each year when our first snow arrives. And yes, it was me running around the streets early this morning in my leopard print pajamas, so don't call the police on the crazy woman on the loose... :)

AND what this means is that in Colorado, ski season in in full-swing! And for those of you headed to the slopes this year, we've got some exciting things going on for our "Day in the Life" photo sessions. These are INCREDIBLE sessions where I follow your family around for the day -- eating breakfast, hitting the slopes, going on a sleigh ride, relaxing at the lodge, etc. These sessions are the perfect way to document your vacation or just a normal day in the life of your family, so call when you're headed to the mountains so we can help preserve your vacation the way you want to remember it!

Here's our house with the first little snow on it - already melting, as you can see -- I love the snow, but it's much more beautiful when you can see the mountains behind it...

Bellies...

Mmmmm.... those bellies -- if you know me, you know that I ADORE maternity sessions and each time I get an expectant mommy in here, it makes me want another baby soooo bad and sends Rob into a panic. :) And this mommy, Marlo (lovin' her name) made it in just in time, as her baby boy, LAWSON, was born just a short time later. We just had them in for the newborn session and at just over 5 pounds of sweetness, I just love him! And here are some images of baby Lawson in his beautiful mommy's tummy!

Katie & Jeff

Ahhhh, Katie & Jeff... a super-fun wedding we had in the late summer -- they're about to see their wedding images, but I wanted to show some from their pre-wedding session. I love to laugh and well, around this couple, it's hard to keep tears out of my eyes because they are the cutest and funniest people and I have laughed till I cried with them! Jeff, with his signature "tiger pose" is as hilarious a person as I've ever met, and Katie is just as sweet as she is beautiful. I had so much fun getting to know them and wish them so much love and happiness in their life together. :)

Danielle & Blake

WOW!!! You guys out there are FAST! We posted the dates yesterday for the November trip and we are filling those slots already! Thanks, and keep those e-mails coming if you want to get a Wynne appointment in! Robert can help you at robert@teresaleephotography.com

NOW.... warning to all that this post has TONS of images in it, but I absolutely had too many favorite to try to narrow it down more than this.

This is Danielle & Blake, an extremely nice and fun engagement couple living in Washington that we'll be photographing their wedding in the spring. I am so excited to work with them and had THE best time on this session around Colorado Springs. Here are some of my favorites...

LOOK at that smile!

I still find it hard to believe sometimes that I get to live here. No offense to my Southern heritage, but THIS is God's country....

We told Danielle & Blake that we wanted this set to be a little more intimate and sultry... man, we didn't have to tell them twice! They were so great to work with and you can tell they're crazy about each other!

Danielle & Blake, I cannot WAIT for the wedding -- we are going to have soooo much fun! Thanks for an amazing engagement session!!

New Trip Planned

Ok, guys... due to demand, we are planning a very quick trip back to Wynne for a limited number of sessions at the end of November. We will have sessions available the Friday after Thanksgiving, Saturday, and a few Sunday morning. So, the dates are NOVEMBER 28TH - 30TH. We've already booked a few sessions today, so e-mail us now if you'd like to get on the schedule. The sessions available are mostly studio sessions. We have only 2 slots open for outdoor sessions, so e-mail robert@teresaleephotography.com today if you'd like an appointment!


This family below is the Turner family, who we had a great time at their farm -- I chuckled at my sweet "city boy" husband, who actually got in a rice field for the first time in his life (I know, WHERE was the camera THEN?) Thanks to the Turner family - Kerri (the beautiful blonde), you will meet in a few days, as we photographed her wedding in Memphis - wow!!!!!

Kaiti

Kaiti is one of our super-cool high school seniors we recently had the chance to work with. I love Kaiti's unique personality and desire to have her senior portraits be unlike anyone else's. Here are a few from her very fun session...

Kara & Mark, New Mexico

This is Kara & her new husband, Mark. We travelled to the cutest little town in New Mexico for this sweet couple's wedding. I don't know that I've ever had a bride with more personality than Kara. She and her family were so sweet to us and they're the kind of people you just want to be friends with. I also have never seen a bride have to overcome such obstacles on and leading up to her special day than Kara... and not only that, she met every single challenge with a smile and a cheerful, "That's ok!" This first image of Kara is my favorite from the day. Mark & Kara held their ceremony at the Buckhorn Opera House and Saloon, built in the 1860's -- full of personality and history, it made the perfect setting for a unique and fun-filled day. This is them sitting in one of the boxes at the Opera House.

We put Mark on the bar and had Kara lie down in his lap and I shot this from the balcony...

I always love images of people walking away -- but I have to giggle at this and how cute Kara is... take a look at her shoes. Because it was POURING rain on this day, and so not to mess up her white ballet slippers, she had Mark's sandals on over her shoes. Kara, you are the best!!!!
