Support Your Community with Small Photography Sessions
Colorado Springs Small Sessions are open! This year I am offering an indoor and an outdoor option for Spring Small Sessions. Small Sessions is another way of saying Micro or Mini sessions but I took a note from my friend Jocelyn Collins (hey babe!) and are calling them small sessions this year because it’s fun!
For the indoor sessions, we will hang out at Cultivate Studios in Old Colorado City and for the outdoor sessions, we will adventure in an urban creek located in South Springs. Yes, that means we don’t have to travel into the mountain and it won’t be (as) freezing.
Small Sessions are taking place both April 29th and 30th. Read the post for all the details and to book. See you there babes!
