Thanksgiving for us was absolutely amazing. For those of you who don’t follow us on Instagram (which you totally should, even Randy has one now!), you might not have seen that we spent Thanksgiving week back home in Colorado visiting our two best friends. Matt just got home from the Middle East with his army unit just a few days prior to us getting there, so not only were we celebrating being home for a while, but we were also celebrating Mattee’s safe return after spending the better part of a year away from his girls!

And let’s be honest, Colorado is pretty much the best state ever. Soooo, there’s that.

We decided to take an afternoon to take some photos of Matt, Missee and their two girls, Penelope and Evelyn at one of my favorite shooting spots near Colorado Springs (Fountain Creek Nature Center). We don’t photograph a whole lot of families anymore here in California (unless it’s on wedding days) so it was nice to spend some time doing just some fun family photos – especially since they were with our BFFs and our nieces!

And can we talk just a minute about their AMAZING outfits?! Like seriously, Missee did an amazing job putting together their outfits! Anything with gold glitter is a total winner in my book! Thank you, Pinterest, for your outfit inspirations, right Missee?? Hahaha! I love that they wore glitter and plaid, which was our branding colors for the longest time while we lived in Colorado … and is something we’re going to slowly be coming back to because we just love it so much!!

If you’re reading this and feeling a bit bummed that we weren’t able to take your family’s photos while we were in town … well, good news: we’re taking bookings for sessions starting in mid-February for Colorado Springs, Denver + pretty much anywhere in Colorado.

More news about that coming soon!!! 😉
