Sweet Abby

You know when you meet someone and then you meet them again and when you meet them that second time you just know you’re going to love them?  Well, Abby was for sure one of these girls.  I was REALLY hoping she would choose me to photograph her senior portraits, especially when I was able to take her pictures at her Varsity Cheer Squad Shoot  in June.    Abby's session was a new location that looked just BEAUTIFUL from the street.  It's gorgeous close up as well but we ended up naming it "The Ant Hill" because of all the ants!  Never have I need ant hills this big!!

You can tell from the very first time you meet Abby that she’s one of the good ones.  She has a heart of gold, this girl.  Couldn’t love her more!!  Thank you, Abby!!  You’re a doll!

Peyton

When Peyton and I met for our in person consultation she wanted something different.  She wanted a funky location that not all of her friends had.  I delivered on that.  This was a cool location that I got access to from another photographer.  It was a location I was also dying to try so working with Peyton was a great fit!  I have worked with her before a few times and was able to see her awesome personality show through.  Thank you, Peyton, for giving me the opportunity to capture you!

Miss Haley

Hayley has got one of the best serious faces EVER!   Seriously, this girl can work.it.  For this reason, she was crazy fun to photograph.  I met her when I did the varsity cheer shoot last year.  When I saw her again this year, I couldn’t believe how much she had grown up and come into her own.  What a beautiful person she is, both inside and out!  Thank you so much, Haley, for letting me take pictures of you and capture that beautiful personality!  

Emily

I met Emily at my make up night  a few months ago.  I knew right when I met her that I liked her.  She has such a kind heart.  I was SUPER excited when she chose me to photograph her senior pictures.  I also got to take pictures of her at the Patriotic cheer shoot I did for her Varsity Cheerleading Squad  in June.  Thank you, Emily!  I had SOOO much fun!!!!

Cheer Friends

Every year after the cheer pictures, I offer to the girls who are still there, to do a few friend pictures.  Just them and a friend hanging out.  This year we had a few girls left over after the end of all of the individual and group pictures so I was able to snap a couple of quick pictures.   I love how these girls are so much more than "on the same cheer squad". They are friends.  They are there for one another.  They love each other.

Sweet Chelsie

I cannot begin to tell you how much I like Chelsie.  She is so kind.  She has a lot of friends and rightfully so.  I first met her at Addilyn's 5th birthday party.  I then met her again... and again... and again.  I really enjoyed my time with her and am REALLY excited that she is one of my Senior Spokesmodels for the Class of 2015.  That means I get to so another session with her at the end of her senior year!  Woot!  

Sophomores and Freshmen

When I was growing up the local varsity cheer teams had ONLY juniors and seniors.  Period.  There just weren't underclassmen on the varsity teams.  This cheer team has shown me year after year that it's not your age; it's your talent.  I can't image how nerve racking it must be to be one of the youngest on the team... but it doesn't seem to bother these girls much.  They can definitely hold their own.

Class of 2016 Cheerleaders

It seems like high school girls grow up a lot between their junior and senior year... but they also really grow up once they become upperclassmen for some reason.  These girls are no exception.  Some of them I have been taking pictures of since they were wee little freshmen.  They have really come into their own.  They are so sweet and really fun!  I'm sure I'll blink and they'll be seniors!

Patriotic Class of 2015

This group of girls are so well rounded.  They seem to have their heads on straight.  They're spunky.  They're fun.  They're good role models to the rest of the cheer squad.  I am really excited to work with several of them this year as they are my Senior Spokesmodels and clients.  What a great bunch of girls I have been able to photograph the last 3 years!!  

Patriotic Cheerleaders!

This is the third year in a row I have been lucky enough to take team pictures for this amazing team of sweet girls.  I can honestly say it's one of my favorite shoots each year!!  They are so boisterous and fun!  They crack me up!  I wish I could bottle their energy!!!

Sarah

This sweet girl is a rock star.  She was one of my Senior Spokesmodels for the Class of 2014. She worked so hard for me that she earned herself a free shoot!  I'm thankful for all she did to help me grown my business and I'm SOOO excited for her to move onto new adventures! But, truth be told, I'm really going to miss her!

Make Up Night!

A few weeks ago I had a make up night at my house!  I had my super awesome make up artist come and teach high school girls how to apply make up.  They got to practice on a friend and follow along as Tabetha did one of the girls' make up.  The girls seemed to have a lot of fun… and so did I!  They went home with a beautiful, sparkly eyeshadow attached to one of my business cards… hint hint!  ;)  I think this needs to be an annual party!

Wear It Wednesday {Colorado Springs Senior Photographer}

I have decided that I love assembling outfits.  It's fun!  It's like shopping but without spending money!  And you look cute in everything!  ;)  I have thrown together a few outfits to serve as inspiration for you when you are trying to plan what to wear to your Senior Portrait Session with me!

Floral blouse:  New Look

Necklace: 1st Dibs

Ring: Kelly Wearstler

Earrings: A wee bit pricey but you could easily find knock offs!

Glasses: My Theresa  (again, find yourself some knock offs!!)

Shorts: John Lewis

Shoes: Converse (I love my Chucks!)

Bracelets: These ones are super affordable!

Belt: I'm in love with this!  It's from Far Fetch but I've seen ones like this at Target and Forever for much cheaper.

I hope this has encouraged you to think outside the box which is your closet and to be cute, funky, and creative for your shoot!

Wear It Wednesday {Colorado Springs Senior Photographer}

I found some REALLY cute pieces while I was hunting around the internet the last few weeks.  Some I found on Pinterest and, unfortunately, the person who initially pinned it didn't include the correct link so I'm not sure where to find that specific piece!   But, hopefully you can at least try to mimic the look.

Wear it Wednesdays! {Colorado Springs Senior Photographer}

I have decided that I need to start posting outfit options for my seniors.  They always end up looking SOOO darling but I know it's a stressful process; especially since they wear between 3 and 5 outfits.  (Although this year I will be aiming for at least 4!)  So, every now and then I will be posting some cute outfit options I find on line… none of these images are mine.  I also mention where I find everything along with the link to that store's website.  Enjoy!  (and please excuse the pixelation… It's just the size that they website posts the image on their end…)

Chelsea {Colorado Springs Senior Photographer}

Working with Chelsea was such a treat.  She models and has a part time job all while  going to high school.  The weather was… less than ideal but she rolled with it!  It was actually a lot of fun.  We made it into a little game… try to get a decent shop in between the gusts of 50mph winds.  It was seriously insane.  I haven't ever shot in that kind of wind before… and hopefully I won't make a habit of it.  :)  Thanks, Chelsea!  It was a pleasure!!  

Kyle {Colorado Springs Senior Photographer}

Normally I photograph senior girls.  Every now and then I'm lucky enough to photograph a senior boy.  This guy… such a sweet kid.  He's a fabulous tennis player and just couldn't be sweeter.  Thanks for letting me take your pictures, Kyle!!  

Riley {Colorado Springs Senior Photographer}

Riley's pictures were an absolute blast.     She found an amazing field that we were able to finish up at.  The sun was beautiful.  The balloons were a little nuts but we managed a few good pictures from them.  And Riley... Riley is so very beautiful.  She's got amazing eyes and a perfect smile.  I loved taking pictures of her!  (And hanging out with her super fun mama!)

Amazing Stacia {Colorado Springs Senior Photographer}

I absolutely LOVED this shoot.  Stacia is beautiful inside and out.  (I really had some outstanding seniors this year!!)  She comes from a pretty cool mom, too!  We were fast friends.  Stacia was up for anything and was a champ about hiking through really tall grass in sandals.  She kept the squeals to a minimum.  ;)  Stay posted for an additional shoot we did with her SUPER cute little brother and sister!!
