The Kurtz Family

Here's another wonderful family I am blessed to have in my life. We took off in the late afternoon one fine day (during a month I'm not going to mention because it was so long ago, like August) and did some photos around downtown of them and their two kiddos. :)

Okay... let's get this straight. No, I really don't slack during the summer months and just forget to blog -- it's actually just the opposite! Since busy (wedding) season for me is from May through to October, I only take on a limited number of family photo shoots during those months. And, although my clients get their photos in a timely manner, they usually don't make it to the blog until winter due to weddings taking up most of my blog all summer long. Whew! Now I feel better about explaining myself to you so you didn't think I just disappear during those months and just not blog. ;) Okay, enough about me... now, on to the photos!

Thanks guys!! I hope we can do this again soon. :)

M + S + H -- Family Photos

If you were a bride/groom of mine sometime this past summer, you'll probably recognize Sarah! She's one of my second photographers at weddings and this is her family! We did these photos a bit before Christmas (told you I was behind on blogging!) when all the leaves were still on the ground rather than snow. ;) We did this session in about 15 minutes due to the lack of light in the location we were in and the sun setting, but nonetheless we had fun!

Thanks Sarah for all you do! You are not only a blessing to have at weddings as my other set of eyes, but also as my friend. :)

N + H + J + E = Family Photo Shoot

You've seen them before on here -- it's my bff and her family and I always have the best time taking their photos. We finally had an evening without a thunderstorm or downpour of rain(thank you!) so we headed out to some fields and had some fun. :) Thanks to Samantha Kelly here in Colorado Springs for doing Holly's makeup for the shoot -- as always, you did an awesome job!

Hello cute family :)

My favorite. :)

Love you guys!! - M

I had fun spending the afternoon with this family! I love it when families come to the shoot in a "theme". Whenever I look at their photos, it just reminds me what strong binds families hold and how I sure wish I lived closer to mine. However, God has us here for now so visits are always nice! :)

Megan Hardre Photography is EXPANDING!

I hope everyone has been enjoying the first few weeks of 2009! We've been super busy here getting ready to launch my newly designed website, blog and also a business expansion! I can't wait to tell you what it's all about -- but I want it to be done before I let it all out! :) All that will be up within the next week so keep checking back.

And, since a post isn't really a post without a photo, I'll leave you with a few photos I took of a family here in the springs right after Christmas.

You'd laugh if you saw me trying to get all the kids looking in my direction at the same time. Good times. :)

I love this family. They just welcomed baby Thomas into their family 4 weeks ago and I stopped in to see them this afternoon and snapped a few photos. He is so cute!! Not only that but they are a fantastic family. Julie was the very first friend I made when we moved here to Colorado Springs a year ago. She took me under her wing and introduced me to so many people. I am forever grateful because it's hard to make new friends right away! My son and their daughter aren't too far a part in age so its been fun to watch them grow and add to their family. What really makes me smile about this family is that they are so real and open. I treasure that. :)
