Brighton H.S. Senior Pictures, Tabor

When Tabor's mom called me, I had to do a double take because I did one of his sister's Senior pictures when he was in 8th grade. I was pretty sure that his mom was mistaken and that he wasn't really a Senior, but a Sophomore. It turns out she was right... I couldn't believe that it had been 5 years! Tabor was very laid back, easy going and had a great sense of humor. Which was good, because the location we had selected had trains moving around - I thought the tracks were not used anymore. But apparently Union Pacific is "rebuilding America" right here in Brighton - on my rail road tracks. They've moved in these funny looking train cars and they're moving trains around like little kids with a train set. We didn't get to do a lot of pictures on the tracks, and I definitely didn't want him sitting on the tracks in case one of those trains started barreling towards us.

I love this building, it is a wonderful background - without the trains being stored in front of it. What are they thinking??

I don't remember exactly what was going on, maybe he was annoyed at smiling or posing, but it was like he was tempting me with this face - so of course I had to take it!

Because of the limited places by the tracks, we decided to go somewhere else and I was really glad we did. I loved these pictures. I think Tabor was a little done with pictures - plus it was so very hot! That was before all the rain we've gotten in Colorado the last couple of days.

I love this image!

Isaak's Senior Pictures, Boulder

Isaak was so easygoing and genuinely amazing to be around! He wanted his senior pictures at sunset in Boulder, which is always a hit or a miss. There’s just something about that golden light hitting the rocks and mountains that makes everything feel magical. The only catch? Everyone else thinks so too. I picked this spot years ago because hardly anyone goes there. But this time, when we showed up, it was packed ! I couldn’t believe it. I was like, really?? Why here, today of all days? As it turns out, a sweet group of friends was setting up for a surprise proposal right in the middle of our spot. I mean, adorable, but also, the timing! But honestly, that’s one of the things I love about my job, something unexpected always happens. Whether it’s weather changes, running late, surprise events, or wardrobe hiccups, it's always a challenge! And every single time, it ends up being even better than what I planned. We wandered off a bit and found these incredible rocks off...

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...

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!...
