Denver High School Senior Photography, Alli

Alli really loves art and she really wanted to do her Senior Pictures with graffiti - or along an art wall as she called them.  Which I have to agree that this kind of graffiti really is art and should be given more credit than it actually gets.  This is one of my favorite alleys, there are so many reasons why, but one of the most important is it doesn't smell bad.  When you are photographing for 30 minutes + somewhere, it is really nice that is doesn't make you gag.  And the best part of this alley is that it looks fabulous and changes over time!
Alli was delightful and very vibrant!  She was so excited to be doing pictures, which I of course loved.  And she wasn't afraid to say this is what I want!  Loved that!  So often teens are afraid to say what they want and then we are doing their viewing session they say "I really wish we had done pictures here..."  And I would have if I had known.  So it was awesome that Allie spoke up and said this is what I like and I don't like that.




 She wanted a view of Denver behind her and I figured this may be the best we would get.  There was a nice shot at our second location, but there was a huge crane in the way, so I'm glad we got some here - even if it's not the real thing.

 Alli and her boyfriend, I really wish I had done more.  But there is only so much time.  I had a great conversation with him about New York food which made me totally hungry!  Just thinking about garlic knots, pizza and bagels is making me hungry now!  I must find a place that makes good garlic knots!


 It's always nice to have help!  And her boyfriend was definitely a lot of help (he did carry the umbrellas and some of her clothes too.)


 I love this wall!  And the color with the umbrellas are so much fun!
 This is by far one of my favorite walls!  I am pretty sure it will be gone soon, so I was very glad to have found it before it was painted over.
 Alli really liked the rose, but not the Parking sign.  I thought it would be cute to remove the other name and put her name - a thought her boyfriend had as well!  So awesome to be with people who have similar ideas!
 


 Her and her mom. So sweet!

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...
