New York Vacation, A personal post

I realized it had been a long time since I posted anything!  I had planned on posting images while I was on vacation, but I never got around to even looking at them until now.  We traveled to New York and then off to Delaware to my cousin's wedding and then we went to DC.  It was quite the trip! 
 
I thought I would post a few images real quick.  I promise to post more soon!  After I post images from my cousin's wedding, a few portrait sessions and the crazed United Power Lineman!
 
I really love this image.  I had such a wonderful time on the subway!  I may not like the subway so much if I lived there, but I didn't have to drive, we got where we were going fairly quickly and the best thing - I got to people watch, one of my favorite things!  I love people!  And it was a bit chaotic, and as crazy as it may seem I do enjoy some chaos once in awhile.
 Chances are if you have seen any of my H.S. Senior work, you will know I love umbrellas (in fact, it may have become a problem.  I have 2 umbrella stands filled to the brim and some umbrellas propped up against said stands.  And 3 or 4 more in the car.)  So, when it started to rain in New York, I was not bummed, I was excited to be using my newly purchased umbrellas and photograph other's umbrellas!

We had just come out of the subway when I saw this girl walking. I loved how colorful her umbrella looked! I put the camera up and took a few pictures - and then realized that the camera was on manual focus. I was bummed. But in the end, I like the out of focus look.

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.                                                 ...
