ryann (castle rock senior portraits)

Ryann came all the way down from Castle Rock for me to shoot her senior portraits!  We hung out at her grandparent's ranch just outside of town and caught some amazing light.  This girl is seriously stunning!

One of my favorite, random shots.  I love the light, I love the texture, I love the soft colors :

Ryann, I know you have a gorgeous smile, but I think there's something so intense about your eyes in the serious ones:

I LOVE this one!  Me: "Okay, fix your hair a little bit in the front.... nope, okay, never mind.  That was exactly the shot I wanted."

arlene (colorado springs senior portraits)

I met Arlene in Colorado Springs for her fun, urban senior portrait session.  I love shooting in Colorado Springs & Denver - there's so much new, fun territory around every corner :)  She seemed so comfortable in front of the camera and is totally and completely beautiful.  Congratulations on graduating and good luck with the Air Force!  Thanks for a great shoot :)

See what I mean about the "gorgeous" part?

I LOVE THIS ORANGE WALL!

ayla & brittany (colorado trash the dress photographer)

Brittany & Ayla are two of my favorite, favorite seniors from last year.  They go to different schools, so I had no idea they knew each other, but apparently they're good friends from skiing and snowboarding together.  Brittany is usually very articulate, so I was a little bit confused when she was being so vague in her emails to me.

"What sorts of ideas do you have?"  I'd ask.

"Oh, well, I have some ideas," she'd write back.  I started to think that something was up, but I let it slide.  When we met for their session, she was showing me all the stuff she brought - dresses, shoes, accessories - and then she started smirking.  And explained that she also brought a giant hot dog suit and a giant banana suit.  Is it any wonder I love these girls so much?

bryn (burlington co senior portraits)

Bryn came all the way from Burlington to have me shoot her senior portraits, and I am so glad she did.  This girl is downright gorgeous.  She's like Natalie Portman's twin sister, but prettier.  She brought me some great clothes and tons of fun props - she's so sweet and beautiful that it's almost unreal.  Bryn - you are amazing in front of the camera!  Thank you!

JD (buena vista senior portraits)

JD was so great to work with.  We got to shoot a little bit at his parents' house, which has amazing views of Mt. Princeton, and his own private lake.  Thanks for a great shoot!
