Class is in session!

I love this time of year!  It's the beginning of football, the leaves are changing, the temperature is cooler and the school year has begun!!  For seniors it means ruling the school and beginning to look forward to bright futures and leaving their childhood behind...

I had the pleasure of taking Samantha's senior portraits this past weekend!  Weather was perfect... diffused lighting with the cloud cover, no wind, just awesome :)


Sammie has such a fun sense of humor and is more comfortable in her skin than most seventeen year old girls I know! 

Gotta love that smile!!!


The park we shot at had a great dry spot under the bridge that was a perfect spot for capturing the image below!   Here is about the point during our time together, she began to really relax and just enjoy the moment!


With every session there comes those moments that you just don't plan for... this was one of those times!  Sammie was already barefoot, so I told her to dip her toe in the water and fling the water up in the air... the image below was the result... one of my favorites!!



Good luck Samantha and Cherry Creek Class of 2017!!!

Boys Will Be Boys!! - Senior Spotlight 2017

The only word that comes to mind when I think about Isiah's session is FUN !  I've known Isiah since he was little and boy has he grown up!   Isiah came all the way from Pueblo where he goes to Central High School and is quite the athlete.  He is looked up to by his friends and his parents couldn't be more proud of this superstar! The only stipulation to getting his pictures taken was that he could bring 2 of his closest friends... of course, I said "YES!" It was a beautiful fall day and we couldn't have asked for better scenery.  Isiah is quite outgoing and not very shy about anything!   When he isn't poking fun at his sisters, he is hanging with the guys.  Although, their sense of fun is a little different than what some might think!  Maybe we should have had second thoughts about getting all of them that close to the side of a canyon!  However, these 3 friends sure know how to show a girl a good time!

Meet Mark, Shaunna and little Theo!    I had the funnest time with this family trio!!  Shaunna requested a family portrait session for Mother's Day and we couldn't have done it on the a better day here in Colorado.  We met at Hudson Garden in the late afternoon (after Theo's nap) and he was such a charmer!  Theo found a new cuddle friend in the teddy bear I gave him while his parents enjoyed their time watching their little guy explore and taking in some beautiful warmth and sunshine! Little man, on the move! What's a garden without butterflies?! Can you spy the butterfly in the lilacs??  I don't know what Mark was saying but Theo and Shaunna thought it was amusing...  just look at those smiles!  Mark and Shaunna have a long history together (no pun intended...lol... they are both history teachers!)  Their story has taken them on many adventures together bringing them to one of the most fun, challenging and rewardin

Becca and Gwen

With my all new Once Upon A Time storybook sessions and services, I wanted to try out a couple looks and costumes.  These two beautiful girls fit right into it perfectly!   Once Upon A Time sessions are for children 4-10.  Gwen is a sassy 9 year old that knows how to work the camera!  I just can't get enough of that sweet smile!!  As a princess, Gwen looked amazing in a crown! I have known Becca for almost 6 years now and she is certainly blossoming into quite the beauty inside and out!   Didn't I tell you this one is sassy?  Her mother had this idea for a pose... I think it's perfection!   It was in this costume that Gwen really let loose and started to have fun!   Becca couldn't believe I asked her to kiss the Frog Prince... but she did and looked beautiful doing it!!  What fun!!
