My Class of 2017 season ended on a high note with this stunning senior.  Alyssa knew she wanted something different.  She knew she wanted sometime unique.  She knew she wanted something that not all of her friends had.  So.  That’s what we did.  She found a BREATHTAKING, one-of-a-kind location and she did an amazing job making sure the feel of her wardrobe went with the vibe of the location.  I couldn’t love this location more and I am REALLY hoping someone from the Class of 2018 wants to use it. Variety is the spice of life and this location doesn’t fall short in the variety department.

A few years ago I met Olivia’s older sister, Helena, and was lucky enough to take her senior pictures.  She even introduced me to what is now one of my favorite locations.  Olivia is just as wonderful and darling as her big sis, but, like most sisters, they couldn’t be more different.  Olivia’s sarcasm and fun personality is a breath of fresh air.  She kept us giggling as we ran from the clouds and played with balloons.  Olivia, I am SO glad you allowed me to be your senior photographer!

Sophie’s senior pictures ended up stunning… but they came with their hair share of weather-stress. ;)  When we got to the location they had damned the water so there was no waterfall.  (what the what?!?)  We found water a little ways up…. And then MORE, unwanted water falling from the sky.  I was NOT entertained.  We finally headed to a new (non-rainy) location and had a blast.  I love it when I can surprise (“utter shock” might be more accurate) my clients.  I’m thrilled with her session and so were she and her mama!

Sadie.  Where do I begin?  Her amazing hair?  Her killer fashion sense?  Her hilarious older sister that I got to photography not once, but twice?!  Her urban shoot was so fun.  We found some amazing walls to use as backdrops.  She changed her hair THREE times.  She was down with whatever idea I threw out there.  I just loved taking pictures of her and being able to get to know yet another amazing person from her family.  Her family is one of those that has a mansion in heaven just waiting there for them.  What amazing people.  So happy I can call them friends. 

kristen

I LOVED getting to know Kristen and her mom at her session.  Her senior session was full of highs and lows…. Starting with the POURING rain.  Guys.  Not kidding.  We ended up in South Denver before we finally escaped it.  And even when we did the wind was a little…. well, windy.  Kristen brought these super cool balloons with her to her sessions.  They were HUGE gold numbers.  2, 0, 1, and 7.  We got them out of the car to try to take a windy picture with them and before we walked 10 feet from the car off flies the 7… into the heavens.   I thought Kristen would burst into tears but instead she burst out laughing… which is what the rest of us did.  We decided to move forward with the rest of the balloons and just use them as a backdrop when off goes the 2!  It. Was. Crazy.  Despite the… we’ll call them “setbacks”, Kristen’s pictures turned out beautiful and you can’t tell we had that nutso weather.  So so grateful for girls like her who just roll with the punches.
