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!

May 2026 Theme Day: Fruit

I can't believe that April is already in our rearview mirror but here we are, the first of May and that means it's Theme Day for City Daily Photo bloggers again! This month the theme is fruit. Did you know that tomatoes are botanically classified as fruit and not vegetables? We think of fruit as sweet, which tomatoes definitely aren't, but there you have it.

I mentioned this a few weeks ago, but this year I am focusing even more than usual on my favorite hobbies in an effort to save my sanity from all the madness out there, the hobbies in question being reading, sewing and gardening. Last year my vegetable garden was quite disappointing, thanks to climate change, basically. I had many friends around here who experienced the same sad results as I did, so I don't feel too badly about it. But hope springs eternal, that's the lovely thing about gardening -- there's always next year, right? About three weeks ago sowed five or six varieties of tomato and they're all in the cute seedling stage now. It never ceases to amaze me that within a few short months, such tiny seeds result in plants taller than me, laden with... fruit!

Viva Las Vegas 2026 (Part 4)

As promised, some great details seen at the Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend car show a couple of weeks ago. It's an understatement to say that every vehicle there has seen some form of creative customization, which I love. On top of that, the surviving standard, factory-issued bits and bobs are so cool! This is why I dig vintage car culture so much. Check out all these great details.

Viva Las Vegas 2026 (Part 1)

Pat and I had a rip roarin' good time at Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly weekend! This was our third time, and I think it was even more fun than the previous two. We did everything we could to take in as much music as we could while we were there, including the headliner at the car show, the amazing Dale Watson. He was awesome! It was a tightly packed crowd but some people still found a way to dance.

Sunday Style!

Pat and I attended Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend a couple of weeks ago, and I got enough style snaps at the car show for three posts. Lots of cool vintage everything going on!

I'm Back!

Hello readers, I'm back from my adventures in SoCal and I'm finally able to share a few of the things we saw and did in Vegas earlier in the month, including my birthday present to Pat: five laps around a racetrack in a Ferrari. There's a track just outside the city where you can drive any number of incredible supercars: Porsche, Maserati, Lamborghini, McLaren, Aston Martin, Lotus, Ferrari. My brother advised me that the 819 horsepower Ferrari 296 GTB was going to be the fastest on the straightaways, so that's what I chose. Pat had a blast! He talked about it for days afterward. Above you see a shot of some of the Ferraris on offer. Directly below is the 296 GTB (beautiful!), and the bottom shot is Pat in action behind the wheel. It looks a little blurry because my Leica couldn't track him -- he was going over 140 miles per hour!
