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!

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...
