Colorado Portrait Photography, Ryker's 2 year pictures

I have been thinking a lot about my own little one's and their toddlerhood.  I don't think I appreciated it as much as I could have.  With graduations and the end of school and the soon not so far off start of new grades, I wish I could have a day or two of babyhood, toddlerdom, and pre-school back.  I miss that little hand that wiggles into mine, wants to hold mine, and the small little arms that circle around my neck with the cuddly head soon to follow.  Oh how I miss those times.  And it seems like maybe I couldn't wait for them to grown up a little bit more so that I didn't have to do everything for them.  So, with those thoughts, I have been loving my time with the little one's this last week.  Even when they don't cooperate, run away and don't smile.  I do love a defiant toddler!  I didn't then, but I have a teenager now, so I'd take a toddler again any day!  And Ryker definitely kept me going!  We walked and walked and occasionally took pictures.  He is much more like his dad, very skeptical of this picture taking thing.
 I love the look on his face!  Such a little kid "I'm checking you out, without you noticing" look.
 Ryker wanted to pet the ducks and the squirrel and then the ducks again.  Just about anything that moved, he wanted to pet.  Luckily, there were some dogs going for a walk that he finally got to pet. 

 He was very inquisitive as to why the bubbles didn't come out, I had really wanted to tell him about the time I looked into the hose with a bottle of weed-be-gone on it and I got a face full of it, but I figured he was too little.  So I just prayed that the bubbler wouldn't start spewing bubbles into his sweet little face!



 Love that face!





 We had a great game of catch the frog at the end and I fell in love even more with this little guy!  He is so exuberant in a game of catch!
I do not always take pictures of little ones crying, it seems almost cruel.  But I thought, even this crying face is adorable and I had to do it!

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.                                                 ...
