I love it when girls come with their own ideas. Mackenzie did just that. She had amazing clothes and was super open to anything that I suggested but also brought things to express her interests. Plus, she's already committed to a school in Kansas for college! Check!
Elise
Elise is my cousin's daughter. She lives in Texas and she is beyond adorable. It feels like last month I was sitting on a couch holding her when she was just a few weeks old with all of her red hair! Now she's all grown up and so dang beautiful. I so love her and wish her nothing but success and happiness.
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.
Jason
Cheyanne
Cheyanne is just the cutest thing! She has the most beautiful green eyes that I loved photographing. She has such a kind soul. I absolutely LOVED her session and getting to know her mom, her second mom, and her sister! And, for the record, I've never had a senior get so many cat calls in my life! It was hilarious/awesome/disturbing. Ha!
Cassidy
Carey
Carey's shoot was amazing. The location was hand picked by her. She was raised riding horses so we headed out to Beyond the Arena for her session. It. Was Stunning. I could do every session out there! I can't thank Devon enough for allowing us to come out and enjoy Playboy (the horse... get your mind out of the gutter!) and her beautiful property!
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.
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!
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.

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!! Hair: Sara Munson

Morgan
I have loved watching Morgan grow into the amazing young woman that she is today. I have had the privilege of taking her picture through her cheer team the last few years. She is an amazing gymnast who has been recruited by more than one school for next year. I'm lucky if I can do a somersault! ;) Hair: Ulta

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

Kristi
Kristi is amazingly sweet. She's a strong girl who I feel very, very privileged to know. She's well rounded and has some of the most beautiful eyes I have ever photographed! Hair: Sara Munson

Makaela
Makaela is super cool. She's tall and beautiful. She is social (as evident by her choosing not to cheer this year and instead socialize with friends in the stands) and so very sweet. Thank you, Makaela, for letting me take your senior pictures, which turned out stunning! Hair: Sara Munson

Kendall
Oh Kendall. Where do I even start with this spicy girl. She's confident. She's funny. She's a spaz. She's beautiful. Her shoot was nothing less than a blast. Kendall, THANK YOU for choosing me to be your Senior Photographer! Let's do it again soon!! xoxo Hair: Sara Munson
