It’s not often you get a senior who’s willing to get in the water with you… but when they are, you absolutely take advantage of it. 😂🤍

This session was such a fun mix of pretty, relaxed portraits and a little adventure, and I’m loving these so much.

My first 2027 senior session absolutely knocked it out of the park last night 😍 Delaney made this one way too easy, and I had the hardest time choosing just a few favorites to share. I already know this gallery is going to be one of my favorites. ✨

Family photos don’t have to stop at your immediate family. ❤️

Bring the grandparents. Bring the grown kids. Bring the grandbabies. Bring everybody.

I loved getting to photograph this whole crew together, but some of my favorite moments came when we broke everyone into the smaller relationships that make up one big family.

The big group photo matters, of course. But so do the hugs, the laughs, the grandparent moments, the sibling moments, and all the little pieces that make your family yours.

And we even managed to sneak in a few engagement photos while we were at it. 🥹
These are the galleries I love most, because you walk away with so much more than one photo of everyone looking at the camera. ❤️

Big families are a little chaotic, and honestly? That’s kind of the best part. 😂❤️

I loved getting to spend some time with this crew and capture all the different personalities and relationships that make their family theirs. The big group photos are always important, but it’s the little moments in between that get me every time.
The sibling snuggles, kids piling onto Mom, belly laughs, and those little expressions you couldn’t plan if you tried.

Family photos don’t have to be perfect. They just have to feel like you. ❤️

If the thought of family photos has you imagining an hour of telling your kids to *please just smile normally*… I promise, that’s not what we’re doing. 😂❤️

During your session, I’ll guide you when you need it, but we’ll also walk, play, snuggle, laugh, let the kids explore, and give everyone a chance to relax.

Will we get the everyone-looking-at-the-camera photo? Absolutely.

But I’m also watching for the little moments in between. The way your kid reaches for your hand. The belly laughs. The hugs. The expressions you see every day but never seem to have a photo of.

Your family doesn’t need to know how to pose.

Your kids don’t need to behave perfectly.

And you definitely don’t need to spend the entire session worrying about whether everyone is cooperating.

Just show up and love on your people. I’ll take care of the rest. ❤️

Okay, I have to know… 👀

Would anyone be interested in doing a stranger photo session?!

Basically, you’d be paired with someone you’ve never met before and come hang out with me for a fun, candid photo session. Think playful, a little outside your comfort zone, and potentially a really fun story to tell afterward. 😂

I’ve been DYING to try one of these, and I just had someone reach out asking about it, so I’m putting out a little interest check before I start planning anything.

If this is something you’d genuinely be interested in participating in, comment below or send me a message! 👀

This is just an interest check for now—details, matching, boundaries, comfort levels, etc. would all be figured out before anything is officially planned.

It would be limited to ages 18 and up and you would have to be single.

Senior photos should feel like **you**. ❤️

Not an hour of standing in one spot wondering what to do with your hands. 😂

Your senior session is built around your personality and the things you love. We’ll choose locations that fit your style, plan outfits that give you plenty of variety, and I’ll guide you through the whole thing so you never have to worry about knowing how to pose.

Want mountains? Let’s go.

Wildflowers and tall grass? Absolutely.

Jeans and your favorite sneakers for one look and a dress for the next? Bring them both.

Sports, instruments, your car, your dog, or something else that’s completely *you*? Even better.

Class of 2027, this year goes ridiculously fast. Let’s make sure you have photos that actually feel like **your senior year**. 🎓❤️

📍Location Spotlight: North Cheyenne Canyon & Helen Hunt Falls

If you're looking for a location with mountain scenery, flowing water, rocky textures, and beautiful Colorado views, this is one of my favorites.

It's especially beautiful for:
🍂 Families
🎓 Seniors
🤰 Maternity
❤️ Couples

Every season gives this spot a different feel, and I love helping clients choose the perfect location for their session.

One of the questions I get asked most is... "What should we wear?"

Honestly? There isn't just one right answer.

I've photographed families who coordinated with different colors...
..and families who all matched perfectly.

Both turned out beautifully because the outfits fit their style.

My biggest tips are:

🤍 Choose clothes that make you feel confident.

🌿 Think about where your session will be. Earthy tones look beautiful in nature, while brighter colors can really pop in the right setting.

👟 Wear something comfortable enough to move, play, and cuddle in.

And if you're ever unsure, I'm always happy to help you choose outfits before your session. ❤️
