Colorado Events, Karina's Quince part 1

Here is part 1 of Karina's Quinceanera, I decided to do in parts because I have been so crazy busy, I thought maybe I might get some sleep tonight.  I have known Karina since she was little, little.  I think the first time I met her she was 3 or 4 and just a teeny, tiny thing and now I honestly can't believe that she just turned 15!  And not just because that means my own daughter will be turning 15 right after her, that is only part of it... And that means that her brother and my son are going to be 20... I guess I'd rather not think about it.... Anyway, I was very pleased to do her Quinceanera pictures and to hang out with her family!
 I totally love her shoes!







 Don't her and her mom look fabulous???
 She was so lucky to get a limo to ride around in for a few hours.  A pink one no less!
 The limo!  We were supposed to go downtown and I am not really sure why we didn't, but my back and nose would have preferred not to be stuck in the back of a cramped limo full of sweaty teenagers - just sayin'!  I did learn more about the teenage species though - they do not like to listen to a song all the way through, they LOVE taking pictures of themselves, they are constantly checking facebook/instagram/twitter/somethingelseIcan'tremember, they don't like balloons in their faces (who could blame them?), they do not like me taking their pictures, they get all excited about finding Red Bull in the limo wet bar and will tear apart the limo to find more and they quickly forget an adult is present making me wonder what my daughter says with her friends.

Sage's Senior Pictures, Boulder

 When I first showed up for Sage’s senior session, I just knew it was going to be something special. She was a little shy at first, but right away I could tell what a sweet and genuine young lady she is. And once she warmed up, she started to shine—it was such a joy to capture! The locations she chose were absolutely perfect, and they fit her so well. And then, as if the day knew how amazing Sage is, the sun came out just for her. It had been hiding behind the clouds for quite a while, but suddenly it burst through, lighting up her gorgeous hair and giving everything this beautiful, glowy warmth. It honestly felt magical, and I couldn’t have been more excited. Photographing Sage was such an honor. She’s kind, authentic, and absolutely radiant—I just adored every moment of her session! She has the greatest smile! I love these in the water!  It was such a beautiful day! I love this one!  It is just magical! Her and her brother are so cute! I love these in the grasses!...

Avery Senior Pictures, Denver Botanic Gardens

 Avery is one of my incredible Senior Influencers, and she totally rocked her session! From the very beginning, she was ready to go!  Every pose I put her in, she made look amazing — it made photographing her an absolute joy. We started at the Denver Botanic Gardens, which was the perfect backdrop for her session. Everywhere we turned there were stunning plants, colorful flowers, and hidden little corners. Avery looked so natural — it was like the gardens were showing off just for her! After exploring the gardens, we headed over to Cheesman Park to slow things down a bit. The vibe there was more relaxed, with gorgeous light. It gave us the perfect mix of elegance and laid-back charm, and Avery’s personality shone through every single shot.   This session was such a fun combination of vibrant and chill, and Avery made it all look effortless. I can’t wait to share more from her senior year as one of my Influencers—she’s truly a star in front of the camera! I just l...

Brayden, Golden, Co.

 When Brayden said he wanted to do his senior pictures at Red Rocks, I was totally on board, Red Rocks is always amazing and absolutely beautiful! The only problem was the day we were doing them there was a concert.  I was very nervous! I’ve done sessions there before when a concert was happening that night, and it just a very adventurous thing to do. There are so many cars!  And people.  They are everywhere!  I didn’t even know who was performing that night, but that doesn't mean much...  I was crossing my fingers that it would all work out. And thankfully it did! It was perfect. There weren’t many people around until the doors opened, and that gave us such an amazing window to get some incredible shots. These are probably some of the greatest images I have taken at the tunnel! It was very exciting! We were lucky to be blessed with some beautiful deer! You can see all the cars starting to show up!  I was going to take them out, but then I was...
