I wanted to share some of the images from Alaska! We had a great time, even with all the rain and stubborn un-setting sun!


These first images are from our extra long lay-over in Seattle - which turned out to be sunny and warm. Unfortunately, we had a disposable camera, so some of the Pike's Market images are underexposed.





This is one of my favorite images!



These guys were amazing and funky! The band name is The Walkin' Pesos, I highly recommend taking a listen.

This was an incredible store with vintage clothing, and I picked up a card, but now I can't find it, otherwise I would post their information.

We stayed at the Hampton for a couple of nights and they have done a wonderful job with branding. Everywhere you look they have interesting black and white photographs - much like eye candy (which I love!)








This may seem strange, to photograph a cup of coffee, and I'm sure 10 minutes into it the Baritsta's were wondering what I was up too... But it was so beautiful, I didn't want my husband to drink it before I captured the perfect image!



It rained so hard one day, we couldn't get out of the car...



This was the bedroom at one of our other hotels.













This is part of the Alaskan pipeline.




This is a map of the Alaskan pipeline.









For crazy people, like us, they have rooms that are -40F. Not sure why we agreed to pay to go into the room... They gave us a cup of warm water to throw into the air, and it disintegrated before it hit the ground. Totally crazy! Mine actually froze and broke all over the ground because I didn't throw it high enough.


Outside the crazy room, my glasses fogged over - and stayed that way for about 5 minutes.

Here is a picture of my fogged glasses, with a fogged camera lens.





This cemetery was amazing! It was a historical cemetery in Fairbanks and after we had been there a while the caretaker came and told us some fascinating stories.



This soldier's dog tags are actually mounted on his tomb! The story is, he drowned in a lake. And he hated to swim. Not only that, he was constantly being written up for being a sloppy dresser and his clothes were found on the shore folded perfectly. The theory is he had been seen with "Russian men" and they may have done away with him for one reason or another.

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...
