After a full school year, a complete business rebrand, and a calendar that felt nonstop, I’ve found myself leaning into something that doesn’t come naturally to me this summer:

Space.

Space to breathe.
Space to swim with my kids.
Space to rebuild our deck.
Space to say yes to slow mornings and spontaneous summer adventures.

And if I’m honest, I’ve also found myself praying through an unexpected question:

Why does slowing down make me anxious?

Why is it so hard to be still and know that He is God?

I know the work will be there. I know the inquiries will continue. I know God’s faithfulness isn’t measured by my productivity. Yet sometimes I still find myself wanting to fill every empty space instead of receiving it as a gift.

For years I’ve said I wanted a business that fit around my family, not a family that fit around my business. 🤯

Maybe this summer is an invitation to finally live that out.

So for now, I’m choosing to Be Still and Know.

To believe that not every season is meant for striving. And to try and enjoy the change in routine that summer brings.

Anyone else feeling the pull toward a slower summer this year? ☀️

Some places become part of your story forever. 🤍

For this sweet military family stationed here in Colorado Springs, they wanted the iconic Colorado backdrop for this season of life together. Red rocks, golden grass, and Pikes Peak watching over it all.

The little leaning heads, the tiny hands, the way this season feels right now. These are the moments that will matter more with time.

I love helping families document not just what life looked like here in Colorado Springs, but what it felt like. ☀️

A wedding day holds so many people within it. 🤍
The ones who are standing beside you.
And the ones you wish could be.

Brandi held this photo close while getting into her dress, carrying a piece of her story and her family with her into this new chapter. Quietly remembering. Quietly honoring.

These are the moments that matter so deeply to me as a wedding photographer. The emotional, meaningful in-between moments that often say the most.

Mother’s Day 🤍

For the moms in the thick of it.

For the ones who have carried, lost, and longed.

For those missing their own mama today.

And for all the quiet, in-between moments that often go unseen.

Here’s to the nights of broken sleep.
To the reheated coffee… or the one you never got back to.
To the snacks cut into tiny pieces and the crumbs in every corner of your car.
To the constant “mom, mom, mom…” from the other room.
To the hands that are always full… and the heart that somehow makes even more room.

Here’s to the invisible work.
The deep love.
The sacrifice no one claps for.

And the moments that feel ordinary now, but one day will be the ones you wish you could hold onto just a little longer.

These are the moments worth remembering. 🤍

Because everything we hope to never forget is preserved in a photograph.

I’m so grateful for each of you 🤍

We’ve nearly sold out all 15 fall mini session spots this weekend. 🍂 Thank you, truly. It means so much that so many of you come back year after year and trust me to capture your families.

There are just a handful of spots remaining at my newest location in the evergreens of Black Forest, and they are such a beautiful option this season. 🌲

And a little reminder, these minis aren’t just for families. They’re perfect for updated headshots, couples portraits, or even just your kids.

If you’ve been thinking about it, now is the time.

Follow the link in my profile to reserve one of the last woodsy spots on September 19th 🍂

Happy Monday! Fall mini session booking are live! 🍂

Follow the link in my profile to reserve your session.

This year I’m so excited to introduce a brand new location with woodsy, evergreen vibes in Black Forest, along with a familiar favorite location.

These sessions are simple and meaningful. A chance to pause and capture your family as you are right now. The way your kids reach for you. The way they laugh. The little things that change so quickly.

For young children, these sessions are quick, relaxed, and just enough time to capture something beautiful without overwhelming them. And for you, they become the images you’ll come back to year after year. The ones that live on your walls, in albums, and in the hands of your children someday.

This isn’t just about a photo for a holiday card. It’s about preserving your family’s story in a way that lasts.
Spots are limited and tend to fill quickly.

I would love to photograph your family this fall 🤍

Happy May 1st 🌷

Spring is here in full swing: the air feels fresh, the birds are back, and summer is just around the corner.

And while I love this season… I’m already thinking ahead to fall.

Each year, my fall mini sessions fill quickly, and many of you have made them part of your rhythm, coming back year after year to capture this next chapter of your family.

Because of that, I’ve opened bookings today for a small group of past clients first.

If that’s you, check your inbox—your early access is waiting.

For everyone else, I’ll be opening dates to my newsletter list soon, and then to the public shortly after.

These sessions are simple, meaningful, and designed to give you a beautiful, timeless image of your family in this season, plus a little more. 💁🏼‍♀️

And if you’ve been thinking about doing something more… full sessions will be available as well 🤍

More soon.

“The smallest hands hold the greatest love.” 🤍

As a Colorado Springs newborn photographer, these quiet, fleeting details are the ones you’ll never want to forget. I love busting out my macro lens and getting the prettiest, clearest close ups of your little sugar.

My Mother’s Day minis looked a little different this year. 🤍

I had the honor of volunteering with Young Lives, an organization supporting teen and adolescent moms who have chosen life.

Photographing these Mother’s Day minis for these young mommas was so moving. 🥹 And for many, professional photos like this aren’t easily accessible, but their stories, their love, and the life they’ve chosen deserve to be remembered and honored. I feel so blessed to be a small part of this.

Because this isn’t just about photos… it’s about legacy.

I’m so grateful to serve in this way, and I can’t wait to be back. 🤍

Anniversaries are a chance to pause and remember what started it all. 🤍

Somewhere between the wedding day and now, your story has deepened and grown into something quieter, stronger, and even more meaningful. Love isn’t just something you fall into… it’s something you choose, over and over again. And that choice is worth celebrating.
This mountain top moment felt like that. Just the two of them, the mountains, and a little space to be together again.

As a Colorado anniversary photographer, these are the kinds of moments I love documenting, whether you’re dreaming of Colorado Springs anniversary portraits, a Colorado mountain couples session, or something quiet and meaningful just the two of you.

If you’ve been married 1 year or 20, this chapter is worth remembering.

If you’re dreaming of an anniversary session, I’d love to plan it with you. Email [email protected], DM me, or connect through www.ReneTate.com
