Last week Colorado Springs writer Jackie Johnson hired me to photograph her headshots for her upcoming book, When Love Ends.  She wanted to do her shoot outdoors, and Garden of the Gods obliged us with some great backlight for her portrait session!

I am so happy that things are starting to green up again!

Three posts in one day?! Crazy, I know! I would normally space these out more, but Mindy has been waiting for her blog post, so three in one day it is!

We started a new thing at her wedding that we’ll be trying to do at more weddings–having a slideshow of some of the images play at the reception. So everyone’s actually already seen all but two of these pictures!

Mindy and Brett held their beautiful wedding at the Tapestry House in northern Colorado.  Mindy was a stunning bride–a total real life Barbie doll!!

Mindy’s mom was so sweet–I hear she’s a regular reader of the blog!  :)

With the way the Tapestry House is set up, the bride gets to peek through the window as everyone else walks down the aisle…

My favorite part of every ceremony.  And Mindy didn’t let me down–look at that smile!!

The grounds of the Tapestry House were a beautiful place for portraits!

Mindy and Brett will have a memorable story for their honeymoon…their original plans included Mexico, so instead of dashing off for a healthy dose of the swine flu, they’re off to Jamaica instead.  :)

We ended up getting some gorgeous light right before the grand entrance!

Thanks so much Mindy and Brett for letting us photograph your beautiful wedding!  We hope you love the pictures and have a fabulous honeymoon!

join us on facebook!

May 12, 2009

One of our brides recently asked if it would be weird to add me as a facebook friend–definitely not!  We’ve got a bunch of present and past Real Photography people on Facebook and I would love for you to add me as a friend (just search for Traci Cooper Turchin).  :)

We’ve also got a Real Photography page that I am working on getting up to date–if you become a fan or add me as a friend, I’ll be able to upload and tag images from your shoot or wedding!  (And everyone knows that it takes 10 good Facebook pictures to cancel out the one gross one that your friends uploaded…)

We’re working on getting caught up from our travels.  This week we’ve got two more weddings, a portrait shoot, and some vacation photos to share…here’s a quick pre-sneak peek from our wedding in Delaware this weekend.  (Yes, we were in heaven.)  :)
