Boulder Family Portraits, Ellie and her amazing loving family

I showed up to Ellie's portrait sitting with a bit of a Holiday hang-over, it seemed like I had almost forgot how to do what I do.  It had been 3 jam-packed days of finishing homemade gifts, buying gifts, trying to remember what gifts needed to be made or purchased, making food, consuming food, prepping food, trying to remember what food hadn't been purchased or had been cut from the menu....  Oh and the cookies.  That was just a disaster!  There was so much wrong there.  So with all that still lingering, I drove to Boulder, not sure if I could remember what to do.  Ellie and her family quickly snapped me out of my post-holiday funk and I was off and running!  They were so marvelous and a fabulous group to be around!

 I love Maggie's face!  And she was the excited one to get her pictures taken!  She just didn't want to give in so easily.

 I love the parent's faces on this one!  I think it is funny how the kids hid in the hug, but I guess that's how hugging goes!
 Awww!  Cousins!  I am always intensely jealous of cousins!  My cousins are so much younger than me and I know they are better than siblings - because siblings rat you out or steal your things.  Cousins may say something to your mom and dad or borrow something, but it's different, they are aren't annoying. 


 They warned me that Tessa and Winnie may be more of a handful than Jack and Maggie, but I think they were just saying that.  All 4 kids were such a joy (I especially loved Winnie's pouty faces, but that's just me.)

I bet these guys had the best Holidays, just because they were all together!  They are such a lovely family.


 Jack's grassed stained knees.  So had to be photographed!
 If you look closely, you will observe Maggie trying to hide behind her dad's knees and the tall grasses.  Such a cutie!



 I love, LOVE Tessa's idea of a family picture!  I will be hiring her for posing ideas soon.



 She was going to get that ball - no matter what!
 This is the start of a kid totem pole.  In future years, they won't need help holding themselves up (although that would be a great recreation with the parent's holding up taller than them teenagers.)
 Everyone loved Jack!

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...

Tanner's Senior Pictures, Boulder

This young man! He is fantastic! I loved that he knew what he wanted and we were able to find some marvelous spots!  Look at those colors!  They were so amazing!   I did Tanner's  sisters senior pictures  a few years ago and these two are just wonderful kids!  I really love working with their family!  They are just wonderful people! I love this one! I just love this one of these two! We were done and on the way back to the car when I saw the sky and I was I like we have to do more!  I ran to my car, got a light and we did a few more pictures! I love this one! I absolutely love this shirt!  It is so awesome!

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.                                                 ...
