Colorado Kids Photography, Forrest and Kaiden

Meet Forrest.  He is seriously adorable!  You have to admire him as he whizzes past you at a million miles an hour!  He is fast, doesn't seem to tire out and is curious beyond belief!  His smile is just as fast as he is and disappears just as quickly!  I did not actually get the fantabulous smile, but I did get some cute ones of this whipper snapper!

 I love these of him running!  His parent's thought the football might slow him down a little or bring him closer to the camera, which worked a little bit.  But just a little.  The football definitely provided some great running shots.  Oh wait, he was running already...
 He stayed in the tree for a little under 2 minutes (115 seconds to be exact.)  I took 62 pictures, I estimate that is 1.8 frames for every second he stayed put!  And even then, he was moving and going while sitting in the tree.  The second image is probably the look he has a lot!  It is that look of 'are they coming? Should I run?'

 I had to throw this one in because it represents a large majority of what I took that day.
 I love, love, love, love this image!  It is so Forrest!
 We had wanted to do pictures of the boys together and there was this bench close by.  I though if we got Kaiden settled in, we could plop Forrest down, snap a few (or 62) and hope something came out.  We opted to do the swings instead.  It was much easier.  And this folks is how you get 2 boys together - in photoshop!
 There are about 5 of Kaiden running with this seriously silly look on his face and I wanted to include them ALL, because they are ALL so stinkin' cute!!  But this is a 'sneak peak' not a reveal all.  So I had to choose 1 and I think I chose the wrong 1.  But maybe not, because this one is sooo cute....  Sigh, it is so hard to choose.

 I love this tree!  It is so textured and has perfect spots for little ones bottoms!
 Isn't he just precious??
 Kaiden had this vest his mom bought just for the shoot.  He insisted it was his favorite vest.  But he refused to wear it.  After about 10 minutes, I had this great idea to hide some of these berries in the pocket.  And that did it!  He put the vest on, took some pictures with it on and hopefully he is still wearing it - minus the berries of course!

 I love these!  Absolutely love these!  I think they are my favorite of Kaiden!

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.                                                 ...
