Maggie Senior Pictures

 I know that things happen for a reason, but sometimes it’s still nerve-racking when things don’t seem to be going right. Traffic was really bad and so we started 15 minutes late, and at the time it didn’t seem like it would be a big issue. At one point I looked at my watch and I was like OK we need to start heading to the second location and I was like the timing is perfect! So we turned around to start heading to the second location. And then I took a few more poses and the next thing I knew 30 minutes slipped through my fingers, and now we were late leaving. On the way, I remembered that last light does not last for 45 minutes anymore, it's much shorter, like 25 minutes. So I was starting to panic more. There were also these heavy clouds... we didn’t get a good sunset, and we didn’t get good colors in the sky and it just seemed like things weren’t going my way for the end of the session. And then the swan boats that they have at City Park were reflecting off the pond and I knew it all happened for a good reason! They were so extra amazing and I was like this is what I needed to see! Eeeek! I was so excited!

Maggie was such a dream!  She was just so great at posing, she had great smiles and serious faces!  She was just amazing! And even though she was super quiet, she was just super sweet!


Maggie had sent me images of mine that she liked and almost all of them had this beautiful back light, which is hard to control!  I had picked the time of day that it mostly works in, but if there are clouds it is really hard to get.  But I knew I really wanted to make that happen for her!  And of course, the day we did it, there were clouds.  But we still got these beautiful moments where the sun came through and made her hair look like gold! 







This girls hair!  It is fantastically marvelous!







By the time we got to City Park, the sun was almost fully hidden in the thick clouds.  I was really panicking!  And even with my extra lights, I knew it was a serious race to total darkness!


But these boats!  And the fountain!  I don’t know if I have ever been so excited to see something so beautiful!  I just hope that this exceeds her expectations of light!  Because it was beautiful!

I really have to give Maggie so much credit for being such a great sport and doing such a fantastic job in low light!  She was amazing!  She didn’t seemed stressed or upset at the circumstances!  I am so thankful for her very laid back attitude! And she just looks amazing here!

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...
