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!

Tanner's Senior Pictures, Boulder

This young man! He is fantastic! I loved that he knew what he wanted and we were able to find some marvelous spots!  Look at those colors!  They were so amazing!   I did Tanner's  sisters senior pictures  a few years ago and these two are just wonderful kids!  I really love working with their family!  They are just wonderful people! I love this one! I just love this one of these two! We were done and on the way back to the car when I saw the sky and I was I like we have to do more!  I ran to my car, got a light and we did a few more pictures! I love this one! I absolutely love this shirt!  It is so awesome!

Alex, Senior Pictures

  When I talked to Alex's mom, she said he really didn't want to do pictures and she thought the best thing to do was to do family pictures and then sneak some senior pictures in.  I don't usually do that, but I figured that she knew how he would be the most comfortable and what would be the most successful.    I am so glad that we did it this way, she was definitely right!  I hope Alex at least had a decent time, but I could tell that he was not really into it - maybe if I'd had another hour with him....  just kidding, I think that would have made him super anxious!  I just hope in the future he keeps allowing himself to be photographed for those he loves.  Because even though he didn't want to do it, he did a great job and didn't complain at all.                                                 ...

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...
