A personal post, our vacation back East

I thought I would finally post some images from our vacation to New York, Delaware and Washington DC!  It was quite a trip, full of lots of fun!




 This was all Makaela wanted to do in New York.  Go to an anime shop and when we finally found it, she was elated!


 Everything is bigger in New York!  Look HUGE Sweetarts!






 I took this at the 9/11 Memorial.  I'm not sure which image I like better, this one or the one below.




 This place was awesome!  There were insults all over the door, inside the restaurant and on the menu.  It kept us entertained for quite awhile.







 This is Aidan and my cousin's dog Layla.  She is the sweetest dog ever!
 This was my hair for my cousin's wedding.  I have to say, it looks pretty fabulous!
 And here are all the bobby pins that came out of my hair.
 The day after my cousin's wedding or two days after the wedding, or maybe 3 days later, I can't really remember, anyway we went to the river.  It was awesomely cold, but the kids had a blast!





 One day after the wedding, before we headed to DC, we went to Pennsylvania.  I love how old everything was!  In Colorado, we have some old buildings, but not a lot.  And it was awesome to see the moss on things, we also don't get that much.  And whole areas had these old barns that had to be 100+ years.  It was absolutely amazing!













 The DC Zoo was pretty cool!  The animals seemed to have a lot of space and there were multiple viewing areas for each enclosure, I really liked that aspect of the zoo!








 We almost missed the Red Panda,  we saw it from above, but couldn't see much and after we walked down the path and around a few corners they had just taken it inside for a check up.  Aidan was really bummed because that's what he wanted to see at the zoo.  But when we came back, there it was!  So glad it wasn't snoozing in a corner somewhere. 
The week after we left, the Red Panda disappeared from it's enclosure, I haven't heard if they found it yet, so we were really lucky to see it!











 

 If you are ever in DC, I suggest going here!  The Chili dogs are amazing!  But get the smoked dog, it is way better than the "normal" one.

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...
