Colorado Events, Karina's Quince part 1

Here is part 1 of Karina's Quinceanera, I decided to do in parts because I have been so crazy busy, I thought maybe I might get some sleep tonight.  I have known Karina since she was little, little.  I think the first time I met her she was 3 or 4 and just a teeny, tiny thing and now I honestly can't believe that she just turned 15!  And not just because that means my own daughter will be turning 15 right after her, that is only part of it... And that means that her brother and my son are going to be 20... I guess I'd rather not think about it.... Anyway, I was very pleased to do her Quinceanera pictures and to hang out with her family!
 I totally love her shoes!







 Don't her and her mom look fabulous???
 She was so lucky to get a limo to ride around in for a few hours.  A pink one no less!
 The limo!  We were supposed to go downtown and I am not really sure why we didn't, but my back and nose would have preferred not to be stuck in the back of a cramped limo full of sweaty teenagers - just sayin'!  I did learn more about the teenage species though - they do not like to listen to a song all the way through, they LOVE taking pictures of themselves, they are constantly checking facebook/instagram/twitter/somethingelseIcan'tremember, they don't like balloons in their faces (who could blame them?), they do not like me taking their pictures, they get all excited about finding Red Bull in the limo wet bar and will tear apart the limo to find more and they quickly forget an adult is present making me wonder what my daughter says with her friends.

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.                                                 ...
