Thornton Family Portraits, Christina and Eli

I was really excited to be doing Christina and Eli's pictures again!  And then the morning came and there was so much fog I could only see 20-30 feet in front of my car.  As much as I would love to do a portrait shoot in the fog, I know that not everyone would like that look.  So, we waited for the fog to lift and got some wonderful light!  We were doing pictures at East Lake Park and I was hoping there would still be some lingering fog on the lake, but it cleared by the time we were near the water.  It was amazing how it went from looking like this to clear and sunny.  


 I love to see what people wear to their portrait session (especially thees guys!  There last session, they dressed amazing!) and I think that they did a fabulous job with their colors!  And we were so lucky to still have leaves on the trees!  There was so much wind a few days previous that so many of the trees where we were had very few leaves.
 These two boys are just the cutest!  They are so sweet and just awesome!  They were so good throughout the entire session!  


 The thing I love most about these guys is that they are such a close family.  It is so obvious how much they love being together.  It just make me all warm inside to see that!






 I promised them a funny face picture and then when the time came, they both had to stop and think about it.  They totally crack me up!
 I love it when couples still want to do pictures with each other!  I love it!

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.                                                 ...
