Colorado Springs Professional Photographer | Now Offering Digital Image Packages

After receiving too many requests to ignore, I am now offering digital packages in addition to traditional prints. When you buy the digital images you receive a full-resolution of the processed files, along with the rights to reproduce the images however you want to. Make prints, create albums, order specialty products, and share your photos online! My digital packages also include a 5x7 print of each image, which will act as a guide to what the images should look like when properly printed with a good lab.

You can buy the digital files individually, in a set of 5 images, or in a set of 25-35, which is the typical number of final images from a session (we can talk about the price if the session includes more images than that). You can visit my newly relaunched website and check out the "info" section to see the prices of these digital packages. Contact me directly at MaryLynne@aol.com if you would like to explore purchasing the files from a past session from which you have already placed an order. I've developed special prices for those cases.

Colorado Springs Baby Photography | Photo of the Day for Tuesday, April 21, 2009

Oh man, will you look at this baby?! Is he gorgeous or what? Just four months old and so interested in everything around him. He was in the studio yesterday.

Colorado Springs Baby Photography | Photo of the Day for Friday, April 17, 2009

What do you do when you have 18-month-old twins who won't stay put for a joint photo? Pop 'em in the famous bucket, of course! I bought this prop at an antique store quite a few years ago for $200. My friend Kelley, an antiques aficionado, told me "Mary Lynne, hate to tell you, but that bucket is totally not worth $200." Well I'm here to tell you that it was worth every penny! Love ya, Kelley. 

P.S. Great smile on him. And check out the look on her face. Too cute. Love it!

Colorado Springs Pregnancy Photography | Photo of the Day for Wednesday, April 15, 2009

Here's an artsy-looking image from a pregnancy session I had a couple days ago. I had such a great time with this mom-to-be. It's a pretty cool having a job where I get to spend my days hanging out with new, interesting people, all while creating some beautiful artwork for them.

Colorado Springs Pregnancy Photographer | Photo of the Day for Friday, April 10, 2009

Here's a wonderful maternity image I created earlier this week. I love how the fabric flows across the mother's pregnant figure, emphasizing her curves in such a soft, feminine way.

Colorado Springs Professional Photographer | Photo of the Day for Thursday, April 9, 2009

Gorgeous six-year-old from today. I also had the opportunity to photograph her when she was about two, so it was fun to see her when she was here in town visiting Grandma again.

Colorado Springs Professional Photographer | Photo of the Day for Monday, April 6, 2009

It's fun to watch how little girls of a certain age light up when they have the opportunity to wear a special dress like this one. I had so much fun with this girl last week when she came into the studio for my black and white special.

Colorado Springs Studio Photographer | Photo of the Day for Tuesday, March 31, 2009

It's always fun to include family hobbies and pastimes in photos. This cute little girl came in for my black & white photo special this week. I had a hard time figuring out which one of her photos to feature since there were so many cute shots!

Colorado Springs Newborn Photography | Photo of the Day for Saturday, March 14, 2009


This one is from two days ago. Gotta love that smile! Luckily for both me and her parents, this little girl did the best job of staying asleep of any newborn I've ever photographed. And she kept flashing us these adorable smiles while she slept. As with nearly all the newborn babies I've photographed lately, she was born early, and was photographed before her due date. Maybe we need to start cutting a couple weeks off the due dates of all these Colorado babies.

Colorado Springs Newborn Photographer | Photo of the Day for Tuesday, March 10, 2009

I sure seem to be photographing a lot of newborn babies before their actual due dates lately. This little sweetie was born over five weeks early I believe, and I photographed her yesterday at nearly five weeks old, four days shy of her actual due date. She's still not even seven pounds yet, and is so amazing. Just so tiny and sweet. Her parents are big fans of monkeys and giraffes, so she was photographed here with a bunch of the stuffed animals from her room. I love when people bring in their own props for newborn images, because I never know what cool new image I'll have the opportunity to create.

I think I took this one about a year-and-a-half ago. Look at that sweet, sweet face! As with many of my newborn photos, the parents brought in the props. I like how the basket helps provide scale to help show just how small she was.

Colorado Springs Newborn Photographer | Photo of the Day for Thursday, February 19, 2009

I know this image has been on the front screen of my website for a while, but I wanted to feature it as my photo of the day so I could talk about it. This is an example of an image that was created at the child's home rather than at my studio. When I photograph at a client's home, I spend a lot of time walking around looking for the best lighting and interesting props. I found this bookshelf in the big sister's room. We unloaded all the books and dragged it into another room where the light was better. Then I hunted all around for cute items that I could use that would all go together. The mom found the blocks so we could spell out the baby's name. I love the balance of all the soft colors. I created the image by window light. The baby is on the bottom shelf for safety. I've noticed that many people don't even see the baby when they glance at the image!

Colorado Springs Portrait Photographer | Photo of the Day for Wednesday, February 18, 2009

This is my favorite background for creating portraits of little girls in fancy dresses. I used more subdued antique-like tones in this image. I love images of little girls in big puffy skirts like this one.

Colorado Springs Baby Photographer | Photo of the Day for Monday, February 16, 2009

How fun to capture some of a child's first steps like this. This little guy came in last month in honor of turning one.

I offer a special session for one-year-old birthdays. It is $125, and includes a 45-minute session on the white background, along with an 8x10 and 2 5x7's of your single favorite image from the session. You can also bring a cake and do some funny birthday cake shots during that session if you wish.
