Alli really loves art and she really wanted to do her Senior Pictures with graffiti - or along an art wall as she called them. Which I have to agree that this kind of graffiti really is art and should be given more credit than it actually gets. This is one of my favorite alleys, there are so many reasons why, but one of the most important is it doesn't smell bad. When you are photographing for 30 minutes + somewhere, it is really nice that is doesn't make you gag. And the best part of this alley is that it looks fabulous and changes over time!
Alli was delightful and very vibrant! She was so excited to be doing pictures, which I of course loved. And she wasn't afraid to say this is what I want! Loved that! So often teens are afraid to say what they want and then we are doing their viewing session they say "I really wish we had done pictures here..." And I would have if I had known. So it was awesome that Allie spoke up and said this is what I like and I don't like that.
She wanted a view of Denver behind her and I figured this may be the best we would get. There was a nice shot at our second location, but there was a huge crane in the way, so I'm glad we got some here - even if it's not the real thing.
Alli and her boyfriend, I really wish I had done more. But there is only so much time. I had a great conversation with him about New York food which made me totally hungry! Just thinking about garlic knots, pizza and bagels is making me hungry now! I must find a place that makes good garlic knots!
It's always nice to have help! And her boyfriend was definitely a lot of help (he did carry the umbrellas and some of her clothes too.)
I love this wall! And the color with the umbrellas are so much fun!
This is by far one of my favorite walls! I am pretty sure it will be gone soon, so I was very glad to have found it before it was painted over.
Alli really liked the rose, but not the Parking sign. I thought it would be cute to remove the other name and put her name - a thought her boyfriend had as well! So awesome to be with people who have similar ideas!
Her and her mom. So sweet!
