Brighton Portrait Photography, Melissa, Chris and their adorable little ones

I had not met Melissa and her family before, I knew she had a 1 and 3 year old, I was a bit worried what with my track record with uncooperative children lately.  I prayed that they would both be in a good mood and full of smiles - and it worked!  I was able to relax the minute I saw the girls.  It had nothing to do with me, but the fact that grandpa came along and both girls are obviously so in love with him.  Yay grandpa!  And the day was absolutely gorgeous!  The light was perfect and it wasn't too hot, I wish every portrait sitting could be this golden!  And of course the pink tutus made everyone happy, as tutu's often do!

 See Adrianna is like 'wait grandpa's back there!  Let's go get him!'
 
 They are soooo stinking cute!



 One of the things I really loved about this session was that Melissa and Chris really wanted to do pictures of just the 2 of them.  And not just one or two, that was why they brought grandpa, so we could do more.  I wish more couples would do this.  I think it is so easy to forget about the couple part of a family and just focus on the kid part.


 So sweet!


 I just loved these!  And they were so fun and vibrant!
 At this point, the girls really just wanted to play and not take pictures anymore.  So rather than torture them, I thought for their future in liking photography, we had better let them do what they want.  What could be better than having your dad toss you in the air?  Me, myself totally miss that!

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...

Alex, Senior Pictures

  When I talked to Alex's mom, she said he really didn't want to do pictures and she thought the best thing to do was to do family pictures and then sneak some senior pictures in.  I don't usually do that, but I figured that she knew how he would be the most comfortable and what would be the most successful.    I am so glad that we did it this way, she was definitely right!  I hope Alex at least had a decent time, but I could tell that he was not really into it - maybe if I'd had another hour with him....  just kidding, I think that would have made him super anxious!  I just hope in the future he keeps allowing himself to be photographed for those he loves.  Because even though he didn't want to do it, he did a great job and didn't complain at all.                                                 ...
