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.

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...
