Welcome to Colorado Springs Daily Photo!


Hi, I'm Tamera, a professional wedding, portrait and boudoir photographer in Colorado Springs. But this blog isn't about my professional work; no, it's a daily love note to my beautiful city, where I've lived for most of my life. I love it here and I hope you enjoy seeing Colorado Springs through my eyes and lens!

What a Difference a Day Makes (Or Two Days)

This was taken at Quail Lake on Monday, and it was an entirely different experience people-wise from the image in yesterday's post, which was taken on Saturday. If you go to Quail Lake during on a weekday it's practically deserted. I was there for another photo shoot but I had time to enjoy the view for a moment or two.

And now, for your listening pleasure...

I ended up at Quail Lake twice in the last few days for photo shoots. This was a lighting test shot because my clients wanted photos on this path, but there were lots of people there that day, which made it difficult. I just snapped these people as they walked through. There was no stopping them anyway.

Exploring Victor (Part 4)

Last few from my stroll around historic Sunnyside Cemetery in Victor. Tomorrow I'll more on to other subject matter. I hope you've enjoyed these. What a peaceful place.

Exploring Victor (Part 3)

I still have a few images to share from our stroll through historic Sunnyside Cemetery in Victor. Have you ever been to a cemetery at 9,708 feet above sea level? It has a great view in all directions, that's for sure! I'll wrap up this series tomorrow.


There's a large section devoted to Elks Club members.


Some of the grave markers are wood, the deceaseds' names long lost to time and the elements.

Sunday Style!

Is there anything more classic than a pair of jeans and a crisp white cotton shirt? It's mid-October and we're still enjoying beautiful days (although the nights are getting chillier and chillier), and the people of Colorado Springs are dressing like it's high summer. I guess it'll finally cool down at the end of this week, but until then I'll be dressed much like this woman.

Exploring Victor (Part 2)

More from Sunnyside Cemetery in Victor. Most of the graves are a century or more old, and a lot of them are pretty sad. Plenty of children and babies, and adults who didn't get to enjoy long lives.

Exploring Victor (Part 1)

A week ago I went leafing peeping with my friend JB, really just to get out of the city and into the mountains more than anything else. As we were driving I mentioned Sunnyside Cemetery in Victor, and since JB had never seen it we decided to drive a little farther down the road and take a wander through it. I've featured Sunnyside Cemetery on the blog before but that was a few years ago. And anyway, I'm always down to visit an old graveyard. Here's a teaser. More tomorrow.

Here's JB checking out a few old graves.
