Seniors

Kianna

Kianna's session turned out beautiful.  I could see the stress in her face as the rain was pouring down around us.  BUT, I build in time for rain because good old Colorado Springs is full of surprises!  We found the most amazing little field with flowers and the most beautiful soft light.  It was perfect!  I can't thank Kianna enough for rolling with the punches. We found the coolest little boutique for a portion of Kianna's shoot.

Look at this amazing sun light!  So beautiful!!

Austin

I have known Austin since he was probably 12 years old.  Now he's all grown up, (MUCH) taller than me, sweet, and just a little bit shy.  I'm sure there is more than a handful of girls who are crushing on him.  I had a lot of fun taking his pictures and he was a really good sport for putting up with his mama (who is a fab design blogger), Tara (my amazing videographer), and myself. Austin was for sure more of a "smolder" kind of guy but I got a few real smilies out of him.

This location was such a treat.  Big, beautiful trees, fallen trees to sit on, Red Rocks in the background... It was perfect for him.

 

Class of 2016 Senior Spokesmodels

Before I get too caught up in my Class of 2017 Senior Season (which is completely sold out! woot!) I need to express my love and thanks to my Class of 2016 Senior Spokesmodels.  They are beautiful, sweet, fun, silly, kind, and goofy.  They make me feel young and loved.  They appreciate their pictures and they appreciate each other.  I wish I could just freeze time and not have them grow up quite yet.  Girls, thank you for an amazing year.  Thank you for being supportive of each other and of me and my business.  I love each of you individually and absolutely would not have enjoyed this year nearly as much without you.  Don't forget me and don't grow up quite yet! a forest photoshoot shows off chairs, a coffee table, candles, cake, and more

We finished off our shoot with smores and a darling camping theme, again, put together by The House of Silver Lining.

Cheer {5th Annual Shoot!}

This year marked our 5th annual varsity cheer shoot for Pine Creek High School.  Each year we give the girls some creative control (with guidance, of course.)  This year we went with a "Spring Shower" theme.  The girls all looked so darling in their rain boots and the umbrellas just added to the mood.  I loved it and the rain even held off for us... although we were dressed to handle it! ;)

Mallory, the "Nice Cheerleader"

Mallory is incredibly sweet, a little bit quiet, and a lot bit smart.  She's know for being the "nice cheerleader" which is such a compliment!  (Although I must say, every single cheerleader I have ever photographed has been very, very sweet to me.)  I loved taking pictures of her, playing with her doggies, and getting to know her amazingly darling family. So Americana!

I love the idea Mallory had of taking that darling picture with her puppy.  She was so creative with her shoot!

Tarryn

Oh Tarryn.  You are the most adorable thing on the planet.  I loved spending time with this girl and her mama.  She was the absolute perfect way to finish up my senior season.   The weather was amazing.  The location was off the charts.  And her personality was top notch.  Plus, who is awesome enough to bring her own BMX bike (because she use to race, of course!)??  Tarryn!!

Liz

I absolutely adore Liz and her mom.  They're hilarious!  (I like funny people.)  Liz is a spot girl... and has the legs to show it, not only with how toned they are but also with the scars!  Yikes!  She also happens to own one of the prettiest prom gowns in existence!  I kinda wanted to steal it... but I fought the urge.  Somehow I don't think it would have looked quite as fabulous as me.  ;) Hair:  Sara Munson
