Denver Senior Pictures, Caleb

I really love this alley, the light here is fabulous and what's better is the graffiti.  And it is fabulous that it changes over time - so fabulous because I don't like to do sessions in the same place over and over again.  I was really hoping to find another alley and not keep using this one, but some of the new graffiti was so over the top cool, I was so glad to be here again!
 
So Caleb is such a character!  He is very calm and subtle, so you have to really pay attention or you'll miss some of his humor.  It was funny, at one point we were taking pictures and either Caleb or his mom made this strange screaming sound and had I not had a hip and cool kid at home, I would have missed it.  But because I have such a child, I knew it was the goat from all those videos.  Other than the smells (some of which were so rank, I can't even imagine what they would be like in warmer weather, I would have passed out!) we had such a great time!



 So part of being a boy, from my view point of having 2 of them, is not wanting to smile after the age of 12.  And when they do smile, it is not for the camera, but only for their friends, laughter or sarcasm - sadly some of them never regain the ability to smile again.  So it was great difficulty that I got these smiles - and he had to think about it before he would even try.  And even then, one was a laughter smile (probably laughing at the goat).

I loved this wall! It is absolutely amazing what people can do with spray paint!



 I really like this spot too!  This area of Denver is right on the edge of cool and the slums, I wish it could stay in this state forever.  But it will move on and gentrifi and then I'll have to head off to find something "new."

Denver Family Portraits, Kalani and Todd

When Kalani called and said she wanted to do pictures at her house, I was so excited! I love doing pictures in people's homes! I worry about toddlers in their own homes, they tend to be a little too comfortable and sometimes don't listen, but this little guy was amazing! He was definitely the star of the show! If you can't tell by this image, he likes attention!  And I just love how loved he is!  It is very heartwarming!  This little guy and his grandpa have this very special relationship, they can just look at each other and laughter commences.  It is super extra special!       For more information on High School Seniors, Portraits and Weddings call Natalie at 720-837-5378 or email natalie@nataliebeckphotography.com.  You can see work at www.nataliebeckphotography.com

Boulder Senior Pictures, Sonny

I did Sonny's sisters Senior Pictures last year, she has been friends with my son since kindergarten and I wasn't even thinking that Sonny would be next! And so close to his sister, I should have known, but I was still remembering him as a little middle schooler! When he got out of the car, I couldn't believe how tall he had gotten! All I could think was where was I last year?!?? And then I remembered, it was mostly inside and away from people. I am still like how did he grow up??   When we were in this spot there were a lot of people looking out over the point, I really wanted to do pictures here and I was hoping they would all clear out.  And they did, just long enough for us to do some pictures before the next group came in.  I love these!  And I love that the sun was right where Sonny was! Sonny's sister did her pictures here and it was covered in snow and I had no idea how close we were to an edge that just dropped off like that (ahhhhh!) or that there was this be

Boulder Senior Pictures,

Macy is such a happy young lady! It was so wonderful to hang out with her for a little bit! And what a beautiful day! We were so lucky because the day before it was raining in Boulder. I just adore Macy's smile!  She is so sweet! I cannot remember the actresses name that Macy looks like, but she really looks like her!  She is so classy in this image! The mountains looked so good this day! I love the colors in this one!  It is such a great spot for pretty trees! Her mom is so funny!  I love this image! I love these 2!  They are so sweet together! I think Macy thought I was a little crazy asking her to spin and walk funny, but then she got into it and she had some fun!   Love, love, love this one! This path is always so wonderful!  And Macy looked so awesome on it! I feel like the sun came out on this day because Macy was there!  She is such a bright and happy being!  She is just wonderful to be around!         For more information on High School Seniors, Portraits and Weddings call
