Portrait Photography, my marvelous cousin and my trip to Delaware

Here are some images I took of my wonderful cousin and her family.  She lives in Delaware and it was such a joy to stay with her for a few weeks!  We had a marvelous time galavanting around Delaware, Philadelphia, New Jersey, Maryland and maybe another state??  There are so many back there I can't keep it all straight. 
When we did these pictures, we went to Longwood Gardens, it was an absolutely beautiful place!  I would like to go back there and wander around sometime!  Obviously, not weekend.  But again sometime.

 




 It was so funny, Brianna didn't realize they were kissing and when she did, she was not really happy about it.  Blah!  Kissing!



 One day we went Cherry picking and had such a great time, although our feet looked like we had walked through blood...  Ewwww!
 Here are some images from Longwood, it was an amazing place!  Although, I felt very uncomfortable with their flagrant use of water.  Being from Colorado where water is such a contentious issue and not displayed so freely, I felt like I should tell someone.  What I would tell them, I don't know... But I felt like there were some laws being broken somewhere.  None of this water was keeping something alive, it was just for show.  Oh my!  Here, in Denver, most of our fountains have been turned off for years.  And I do love water, so it was wonderful to see such beautiful fountains.


 Here are Aidan and Brianna, getting along for a moment.  The next moment they were probably bickering about some strange thing.  And then getting along.  It is hard to live with someone else for so long and not bicker just a little.  Now that I think about it, I should have taken pictures of that....

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.                                                 ...
