Senior portraits in Colorado Springs: Ellory

August 7, 2012 Colorado Springs senior portraits

Here’s beautiful Ellory, who’s about to start her senior year. I’ve been friends with her mom Angela since I was Ellory’s age. Kind of hard to believe that I’m doing senior portraits for Angela’s kids now! In fact, this is the second kid — big sister Samantha came to me for senior portraits four years ago. Now Samantha’s a senior in college! How time does fly.

That’s Ellory on the left with her big sister Samantha, in a portrait I took four years ago. Time flies!

My best and favorite images of 2011

February 9, 2012 Colorado Springs boudoir photography

I know, I know. 2011 ended about six weeks ago. But I’ve been busy! I of course meant to make a post like this in early January, but time has flown by and I’ve only just now eked out a few minutes to pick out my favorites from last year. A little explanation: what’s technically my BEST photo isn’t necessarily always my FAVORITE photo, because I don’t choose my favorites based on technique. But this particular best also qualifies as a favorite, because I really do love everything about it (including the the fun memories of taking it). In case you’re wondering, it’s the photograph featured at the top of this post. For the rest of my 2011 favorites, read on. Enjoy!

My favorite boudoir image of 2011. I love how it shows just enough and not too much. Dani has beautiful legs!

Favorite fashion photo of 2011 — my friend Jaime, Denver’s
2010-11 Miss Modernism. I think it shows her cheeky personality and her
great sense of style. And oh yeah, she looks beautiful too!

Favorite senior portrait. Jemma has buckets of personality and sass, and I
think this portrait reflects that.

Favorite engagement portrait. Jenn and Marin have a very jokey, fun relationship,
just like this picture.

Favorite fine art portrait. This is Jess.

Favorite image from a personal project. This is from a portrait session with a 100 year-old woman, Charlotte.

My favorite bridal portrait of the year, from Marylou and Jim‘s wedding at the Fine Arts Center. This image is very representative of my style.

Favorite reception capture, from Morgan and Mark‘s wedding at the Air Force Academy. I love this shot!

My favorite getting ready picture of 2011. The bride, Carol, is getting her makeup done as her two year-old daughter, Mari, who is the apple of everyone’s eye, comes to the realization that she is not going to be the center of attention that day. Oh the tragedy!

And finally, my favorite wedding moment and overall favorite from the whole year. This bride, Janie, was 47 and a mother of three; this was her second wedding. At the moment she descended the stairs and revealed herself in all her bridal glory, her nine year old son looked at her in awe (and that’s her 16 year old daughter looking on in awe as well, plus the officiant). I love this shot. It’s my absolute favorite of the many pictures I shot in 2011.

Senior portraits in Black Forest: Tom

This is Tom, my friend John’s younger son. They live in France, so Tom did the “foreign exchange student” thing so to speak, living with his grandmother here in Colorado to get the American high school experience. And he did it all, including playing football! This would have been Tom’s senior year, but he was forced to move back to France because of health reasons. I took these senior portraits of Tom while John was here in September to bring him back to France. Tom gave me about 10 minutes — I did the best I could! I love the sunsets out by Judy’s house, so I made the most of those 10 minutes and got a few cool images of Tom looking like a superhero. Bonne chance, Tom! I hope you enjoyed your year abroad!

Colorado Springs senior portraits: Rachel

We did Rachel’s senior portraits in Old Colorado City a few weeks ago on a perfect fall day. What a cool kid! She’s REALLY into the Beatles and REALLY into shoes. Hmmmm, sounds a little like someone I know: me! We had so much fun taking her portraits, we were sad when we had to stop for the day. Rachel, I hope you had as much fun as I did. You’re gorgeous!

Rachel brought her guitar to the shoot. We decided to use it in a few setups.

I love this shot. She looks like a model.

Many thanks to LauraAnne at Domino for allowing us to shoot in her groovy shop!

Rachel’s parents ordered five custom albums as keepsakes for themselves and Rachel’s grandparents (and one for Rachel too, of course!).

Senior portraits in Colorado Springs: meet Jemma!

This is Jemma. Not only is she tall and beautiful, she’s also smart, funny and endearingly self-deprecating. I told her that she has model potential but I think she’d rather be saving the world than stomping down a runway. I had the great pleasure of photographing her and her horse, Lakota, on a very hot and windy day last month. It was so much fun! Jemma, enjoy your senior year — the world’s your oyster!
