Martha and Valentin's Wedding

Martha and Valentin's wedding was wonderful.  It was a perfect day in between snow storms with blue skies and hardly any wind.  I couldn't have asked for a better day to photograph a bride and groom.     




Getting Martha into her dress was quite the task.  The room we were in was about 8 feet wide and 15 long and there were 5 bridesmaids, a bride, a photographer and a stray guest or two  crammed into the room.  But Martha was lucky to have so much help and she made it into her dress with just a couple of snags.




Had it been up to me (and if we had more time) I would have photographed all of the boys at the McDonald's Playland - inside and out.  But as it was we had just enough time for a few burgers.








Val and Martha are very wonderful people.  They care deeply for each other and they have a great respect for each other.  I really enjoyed being around their upbeat energy.I love it when there is another story going on.  It was the end of Spring Break for the CU campus and these two young men apparently lost their keys in their Spring Break shanigans.  I am sure this was the perfect ending to their Spring Break - I know I found it quite amusing.
Don't they all look awesome?








I really wish I had been the one taking these shots.  My wonderful assistant, who doubles as my husband on the side, was on the stairs above them and it worked beautifully.


I think this is my favorite garter picture ever!  I love that the little one is standing there waiting, just waiting for his dad.  He really was so patient.

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!...
