Gray Senior Pictures, Boulder

 Gray’s senior session was the perfect example of why sometimes, even when things don’t go as planned, they turn out even better.  Her mom and I decided to take a gamble on the weather… and well, we lost.  But instead of letting the rain ruin our plans, we got creative—and what we ended up doing was absolutely amazing!

Gray was such a champ through it all, so easygoing, flexible, and genuinely excited about the change of plans. I was so grateful for her energy and adventurous spirit. When we realized outdoor photos weren’t going to happen, we found the most perfect indoor locations inside a historic hotel and the cozy Boulder Bookstore.

I am so grateful that both spaces were kind enough to let us photograph inside, and they couldn’t have been a better match for Gray’s style. Her outfits were spot-on!  They were stylish, unique, and perfectly suited to the warm, vintage feel of both spots.

We ended up having the best time exploring and making the most of the unexpected. I’m so thankful to Gray and her mom for trusting me, taking a chance, and not rescheduling. Especially since they had no idea what we’d end up doing!

And for the second time today I am posting about a session that had a curveball!  It just shows that sometimes the best sessions are the ones that weren’t in the plan. 



That ceiling! It is so amazing!


I love these by the windows!  


I love these!  Such a cozy spot!


Gray's mom suggested this and I just love it!  You get to see so much of the building!
I love this one!  Gray was so much fun!
When I suggested we go the bookstore Gray lit up!  She was so excited!  I was just so thankful that it stopped raining so we could walk there!  And bonus there was hardly anyone out!




I love this one!



I love these with her mom!

These are so magical in front of the bookstore!  Even if we had planned the bookstore, we wouldn't have been here this late.  It was just so perfect that we had start later because we ended up here at the perfect time!

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...
