Denver Engagement Photography, Rachel and James

Rachel and James' engagement session was so grand!  Rachel really wanted to do pictures with snow and since scheduling our schedules and snow all at the same time seemed so daunting, we were just keeping an eye on the weather and hoping we were all free.  And alas!  Predicted snow turned into real snow and we were all free!  I have known Rachel for such a long time and I really wanted these pictures to be perfect, I was very grateful that it worked.  We couldn't have asked for a better snowy day! 
 
 
 
 This was such a wonderful spot, it was the spot of their first kiss.  They told me the whole story, both with stars in their eyes and grins on their faces.  There had been some talk about what was up there and what Barteldes meant and somehow it led to that magical kiss.  Although, I do have to say so much of everything is magical with Rachel.  She is just amazing, spectacular and awesome.  And she has found someone just as special in James.  I am so happy for both of them.
You may wonder what in the world Rachel is doing and why James is holding her up...  I thought it would be so cute to write their summer wedding date in the snow.  Rachel was very willing to do such a thing, it is always so nice to have such accommodating couples!
 I love these at the Tattered Cover!  I was a little worried about the light because with the overcast sky and limited window seating and light, it was a tad bit dark in there!  I was very pleased with how they came out and am totally in love with them!
 
On the staircase, there was a draft, which was perfect for the hair blown look.  I so wish I could carry a draft in my camera bag!  How perfect would that be??

 

 Let's not say anything about the man in the corner...
 


 
 




 I love this one! And I love the snow and everything about this night was perfect!  I can't wait for the wedding!

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...
