Denver Senior Pictures, Asher

I was so excited to be doing my niece's Senior Pictures! She came here all the way from California and I was hoping to make it the best time ever! She didn't really have an idea what she wanted to do, so I was trying to come up with all these fun things to do... and you would think that would be exciting to help her figure it out, but it was just all this added pressure. What if everything I came up with was lame?? And I didn't really want to be the lame aunt... So in my panic, I covered her in paint powder and told her to smile.





I love these, they were so messy and so much fun!
Obviously, these were taken before the paint powder incident. I love this spot and the colors!  And every time I am here it is always so different.





I think one of the hardest things about photographing teens is knowing when or how much to make them smile.  Some teens are just smiley, but when they're not, there's a thin line of having them smile.  Moms always love the smiling ones, so I have to get those... When you're photographing a family member that line is even thinner on the smiling thing and to be honest a little scary!  Because they can turn off and be irritated a lot quicker than normal.  And personally, I love non-smiling pictures, but the moms... they are always expecting some smiling ones...

And I really love this one! So finger's crossed her mom likes this one too!




I love this mural!  






Even after all the paint powder, Asher was still good with doing some fun impromptu pictures at Meow Wolf!  It was so much fun!

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!

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...

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.                                                 ...
