Denver Senior Pictures, Amira

 This must have been the week of young women who knew what they wanted! Amira definitely let me know what murals she liked and which she didn't. I love that! These are not my pictures and although I know what looks good, the images won't hang on my wall or be in an album for me to look at for years. So it is so important for me to know what people like. Amira was so good at that, my hat is off to her! At that age, I was still trying to figure out how to not be awkward, telling an adult what I liked would have been mortifying.


I had brought my umbrella because there could have been rain, but it ended up working out perfect for this mural!  And there is something pretty awesome about Amira and stripes...I think it's her amazing hair!

I love these with her walking and the umbrella!






I have been so lucky not to have a ton of cars in front of this mural lately!  I was really pleased that Amira wanted to do pictures here!  Let's go strong women!  And women of bipoc, we really need to listen, celebrate and uplift them.  I know it's just an image, I just hope it can mean something to Amira and her family.
She has such a great smile!  And I love how her sweater moves, it was really a fun thing to work with that day!




I love this one!

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.                                                 ...
