Traven's Senior Pictures, Denver

The last time I visited Civic Center Park, the atmosphere felt very different. I was thankful to have my husband and the senior’s dad with me then. Since that time, Denver has put effort into supporting people experiencing homelessness, and I truly hope those efforts are meaningful and lasting—not just shifting challenges from one community to another. I’m grateful to see this space open and welcoming again, because it really is such a beautiful spot.  I am so happy that Traven's mom suggested it!

Traven was just a natural at this! Every pose I suggested, he settled into perfectly—as if he had been doing this for years. He made my job so easy, not just with how comfortable he was in front of the camera, but also with how personable he was throughout the session.

As we walked around, we had some really great conversations about life after high school. Traven has such a wide sense of possibility and genuine interest in the world around him. It was inspiring to hear the different directions he’s considering, and I could see that spark of curiosity that will serve him so well no matter what path he takes.

What struck me most was how down-to-earth he is. Traven isn’t just photogenic—he’s a truly kind and grounded young man. I have no doubt he will do amazing things, and I hope he always carries that curiosity and openness with him as he steps into this next chapter of life.





I love this one!


Doesn't he have the greatest laugh??








I love these with his mom!  So sweet!

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...
