I was so excited to spend the afternoon hiking with my sister, her husband and their dog Ricco. I took this time as an opportunity to photograph her pregnancy. They are expecting their first child in early March...although I'm sure my sister wouldn't mind late February. I think I might be just as excited as they are to find out if I'll be welcoming a niece or nephew!

This was a super fun and exciting shoot to launch an amazing new fashion product created by local interior designer Summer Trembley. Summer has been selling her accessories locally and on www.Etsy.com. I had the pleasure of photographing her and her models wearing her products. Below are some of the photos from our sessions.  You can see more photos of her products on her website www.Sumemoto.com.

I had a fantastic time photographing Aimee Heckel, a journalist for the Daily Camera. Aimee is pregnant with her first child and found some time to celebrate her pregnancy with a unique "henna photo session". As always, Leah of Face Fiesta did not disappoint with her absolutely gorgeous custom henna design! Click here to view the article in the Boulder Daily Camera.

It was an absolute pleasure to have photographed Anna Be's exquisite three year anniversary party held at their beautiful new boutique located in the Highlands neighborhood of downtown Denver. Not only can these talented ladies dress you for a party, but they also know how to throw one! The guest list included friends, family, clients and industry vendors. The event was flawless and everyone had an amazing time. Thank you Anna Be, not only for inspiring all of us with your gorgeous boutique and wears, but also for raising the bar for the local wedding industry. To learn more about Anna Be visit anna-be.com.

It was overcast and threatening to storm in Boulder the first day of shooting Allegra's senior pictures, so we decided to just stay inside the studio for pictures and go outside a different day. While listening to Taylor Swift and other country music to get inspired, Allegra changed up her look with different outfits and backgrounds. She brought her friend Anna with her- it was great to get a couple shots of the friends together...

A couple days later, we took advantage of a sunny evening to venture outside and grab some shots in a beautiful field, then moved locations to take pictures near an old barn. We loved getting variety here with the different backgrounds- the sunlight coupled with the rustic wood stable wall and the aged brick silo made for unique pictures.

We finished up the shoot just as the sun was tucking behind the foothills- Allegra wore a stylish red dress -complimented by a cute side ponytail- at a rustic fence, then later by the Cherryvale sign- these pictures add some artistic variety to complete her portfolio! Great fun- enjoy your senior year, Allegra!

Ellie brought her friend Katie with her to the studio here in Boulder yesterday to take her senior pictures. The natural lighting here in the studio complimented the natural hair and make-up for a relaxed look and feel- we took a few shots of Ellie, first by herself, and then Katie jumped in so we could grab a couple shots of the two of them together.

 

The late daylight up Left Hand Canyon was beautiful- we love Ellie's outfits and how well they photographed in the field. It was so enjoyable to have Katie come along on the shoot- capturing the friends interacting and having a great time together added an extra fun element!

 

We finished up the shoot photographing at a train yard here in Boulder. The colors with the setting sun and the rustic trains are gorgeous, and despite the few mosquitoes deciding to pay us a visit towards the end, we thoroughly enjoyed this shoot and are excited about the results!

Boulder High School senior Hannah came in to the studio here in Boulder yesterday armed with many outfits and fun accessories to photograph her senior pictures. After doing hair and make-up with a stylist, we started off by taking some pictures in the studio, using natural light at first, and then we got a couple shots with studio lighting. From the first frame, Hannah's eyes blew us away, and continued to do so throughout the shoot!

After we finished in the studio, we ventured out to a ranch near the North Foothills Highway where we found an old soda machine and barn to take pictures by. Hannah's vintage outfit looked great not only at that location, but it really stood out and looked fantastic at the bright blue, broken down school bus across the field. We tried a couple different outfits at this spot, and they turned out quite stunning!

We finished up by taking some pictures of Hannah in her prom dress and a chunky necklace by her chrome colored '66 Mustang. We had such fun on this shoot- both Hannah and her mom Anne were so light-hearted, had great energy, and were awesome to work with!
