Engagement Session, Julie and Corey

Julie and Corey are getting married on Sunday!  I can't wait, Julie and I toured the Manor House the other day and it is beautiful!  Their whole wedding is going to be very laid back, no cake or bouquet toss, no structured toasts - I love couples that buck tradition and just make it what they want it to be!  I am excited to be able to have time with the people and not chasing the bride to cut the cake or throw the bouquet. 
For their Engagement session, they wanted to go where they had their first date - The Denver Botanic Gardens.  I thought it would be this nice,  easy going session... but they had me cracking up!  Corey kept doing this thing from the movie Talladega Nights - "I just don't know what to do with my hands" and his hands would rise up like giant monster appendages.  It became quite the theme of the evening.  And then I had them share a lovely moment about the other person with each other and Julie was extremely skeptical that the moment was even about her... I was like great, I may have to stop using that scenario... So to save the moment I shared a story about my husband and I - with the intent of showing that perspectives can be way different, but I never got to that point and it just seemed like I was talking about myself...  Such great moments...






 And then as if Corey's rising hands weren't enough, Julie has to start grabbing him!  Oh my!  I cannot say that I didn't encourage it... but I didn't suggest it, I can say that.
 Love this one!







 This was one of the first jokes Corey ever made to Julie, one of many I am sure.  He kept stopping at the Stay of the Path signs and wondering what kind of a flower could that be.  So of course we had to do some with those signs.  Good luck identifying the Stay on the Path flowers!

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...

Elli, Senior Pictures

  I was so excited for this session — my very first full Senior Session! These types of sessions are always my favorite!   It means I am getting back to work and there is always something so special about capturing a person right on the edge of everything new. And with Elli, I knew it was going to be a great one. From the moment we started planning, her energy and excitement made it clear: this was going to be one for the books. And it was — even with the weather throwing us a little curveball. About halfway through the session, the skies opened up and we had to pause for a solid 45 minutes. But honestly? Even that didn’t take away from how amazing the day was. The rain gave us a chance to slow down, laugh, and reset — and when we got going again, everything felt a little more magical - and the lighting post-rain? Gorgeous!   I was hoping for a rainbow, but sadly we missed that! Elli is such a joy to be around. She’s incredibly sweet, the kind of person who makes y...
