Colorado High School Senior Pictures, My very own son

I know sometimes people get a little anxious to see their pictures...  And I try really hard to get them done quickly.... Unless you happen to be a family member... Then maybe not so much.... My son graduated in 2012.  And today - TODAY - I just finished his Senior Pictures.  I would calculate the months and days it has taken me to finish them, but I would only be adding another 5 minutes to that total and I still have to finish his sister's Senior Pictures.



 This is not normal.  For most High School Seniors.  But totally normal for my kid.

 Oh my!  Those shoes!  I can't believe I let him wear those!  And I really can't believe they are still on his feet and didn't just fall off in the picture!

 And again, not normal... But for my kid... (sigh) NORMAL.




 When he was little and I taking a photography class, I needed a model.  I figured it was a slam dunk, I didn't have to find a model, I had a 5 year old.  But he didn't want to do it and kept expecting me to give him more and more money for every new project.  It was quite annoying and totally not worth the strife and the money I had dish out!  The majority of his childhood he had a hand in front of his face if there was a camera nearby.  So, when it was time to do his Senior Pictures, I said I would hire someone else - anyone he wanted.  But he said it was fine if I did it.  So we did.  (All the images above.)  And then one night, he wanted to go out again.  And again.  I was over the moon!  And it made up for all the strife from his uncaptured childhood!

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...

Grace Senior Pictures, Boulder Co

  Sometimes the best things are worth the wait—and Grace’s senior session was definitely one of those moments. After rescheduling thanks to Colorado’s unpredictable rain (seriously, the rain wasn’t acting the way it’s supposed to!), we finally landed the most beautiful day . There was just the right amount of sparkle in the air—it was perfect. Grace is such a delightfully beautiful young lady, inside and out. Her energy is gentle but radiant, and from the moment she showed up, she was so excited to be in front of the camera. That kind of enthusiasm? It’s contagious—and honestly, I was just as excited as she was! We had a great time exploring by the creek, Chautauqua and the top of Flagstaff   Mountain and soaking in that golden light, and creating portraits that felt so her. And then…I brought out the mylar. 😄 I had this fun, artsy idea to play with reflections and light using sheets of mylar—something a little different, a little sparkly, and totally dreamy. Turns out...
