Dog Pool Party in Erie, Colorado

Saturday was a crazy, crazy day! I started out photographing an adorable 3 1/2 year old little boy up for adoption! He was soooo cute and sweet! He even gave me a hug when I left. Then I was off to spend 2 hours shooting dogs at the pool - after this I have seriously considered changing my career. I'm just not sure that there enough dog pool parties to feed me for the rest of my life... We'll just have to see. Anyway, this K-9 pool party was hosted by The Healthy Bone, a wonderful pet supply store in Erie, Colorado. Chris, the owner, has watched our dogs before. As wonderful as Chris was, I was deeply saddened when I picked my dogs up and they whined when HE drove away. Not only that, they ran to watch him leave and barked for him to come back. I was very pleased to see that there was a Life Guard on duty, just in case. The only problem was he (I think it was a he) didn't really want to get wet past his paws.
There were lots of tennis balls to be had... and chased... and chewed on...

Some dogs were a bit more aggresive than others. He-he!






Some dogs were in need of help, especially after they were thrown, pushed or tossed into the water.





I had a wonderful time photographing these guys, but it did prove to be difficult. I got lots of shots like this and splashes with tails and a leg or two leaving the frame. Either way, it was a blast!


Eeeeeeeewwwwwww! His dog's tongue is touching his FACE! I love my dogs, but I have limits! And anything with a tongue, should keep their tongue to themselves and definitely not on my face!

This would be Chris from The Healthy Bone, the wonderful person that allowed all these dogs into the pool. Yay Chris!

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...

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...
