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....

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...
