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, working with mylar outdoors in the slightest breeze is a lot trickier than I imagined! But Grace was so patient and totally up for the experiment. And the best part? She still looked amazing, even when the mylar had a mind of its own!

That kind of session is my favorite—not because everything goes exactly to plan (because let’s be real, it rarely does), but because of the laughter, the spontaneity, and the shared joy of creating something beautiful together.

Grace, thank you for your sunshine spirit, your patience, and your incredible modeling skills. I loved every second of this session with you and can’t wait to see all the amazing things your senior year holds!




I love this one!

Her smile is so amazing!


The mylar... I plan on playing more!  Because really this was fun!








I love this one!  She has the greatest hair!

At a previous session on Pearl Street, I saw the pouf Grace is sitting on.  I went back to buy it and I am so glad I did!                                                                                                                                                                               

I love this one!





I had the absolute joy of doing Grace’s sisters senior pictures a few years ago and totally adored their mom. This time, her dad came along and I was like—okay, they just have the best family! So kind, so supportive, and such a joy to be around. It’s families like this that make what I do so meaningful.
On top of Flagstaff Mountain, we had the best sunset.  It only lasted a little bit, but it was so gorgeous!  And we had some amazing clouds too!  It was just perfect!

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...
