Boulder Senior Pictures, Ashlie

Ashlie is such a sweet girl and just a little bit shy.  I did her friend Rachel's Senior Pictures and she told me how wonderful Ashlie was - I just love glowing recommendations from friends!  I was very lucky to have 2 friends helping me out with her session, I do have to say how strange it was not to be carrying everything and to have someone there to help with lenses, umbrellas and the like.
 Boulder Creek was perfect that day!  Not too high and not too low!  I wish I could keep it that way for the rest of the season.  Maybe a little bit warmer, it was very chilly in the water.


 I love this image!

 Aren't those the coolest boots ever???
 At this point, the water was very cold!  But when I climbed out and my legs started to prickle, I kind of wanted to go back in the water.  I don't know how Ashlie's legs and toes were holding up, but mine were quite angry with me.  And actually I'm surprised that Ashlie doesn't have more of 'what are doing???' look on her face because I was in the water up to my thighs and practically laying on top of the water to get this shot.  Sometimes I wonder what I was thinking, but at the time it always seems like a good idea.  And makes for a fun shot!




 I loved this outfit!

 I love the bear!  And I hope Ashlie doesn't mind me sharing this...  The bear is made from a shirt of grandfather's and she wanted to have a photograph with it for her grandmother.  I was so touched.

Elli, Senior Pictures

  I was so excited for this session — my very first full Senior Session! These types of sessions are always my favorite!   It means I am getting back to work and there is always something so special about capturing a person right on the edge of everything new. And with Elli, I knew it was going to be a great one. From the moment we started planning, her energy and excitement made it clear: this was going to be one for the books. And it was — even with the weather throwing us a little curveball. About halfway through the session, the skies opened up and we had to pause for a solid 45 minutes. But honestly? Even that didn’t take away from how amazing the day was. The rain gave us a chance to slow down, laugh, and reset — and when we got going again, everything felt a little more magical - and the lighting post-rain? Gorgeous!   I was hoping for a rainbow, but sadly we missed that! Elli is such a joy to be around. She’s incredibly sweet, the kind of person who makes y...

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...

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!...
