I think a professional portrait is a great way to celebrate important milestones and significant achievements in our lives. And graduating from college certainly qualifies as one of those occasions. It is  the culmination of years of hard work and commitment. It’s also the beginning of another chapter of life. Taking the time to have a portrait created provides a lasting memory of this special time. I also think it’s a wonderful way to share your joy with friends and family near and far.

It was so much fun to meet Megan and to create her college graduation portraits. She has a sweet personality and lovely smile that is infectious. Her beauty inside and out shines through. Congratulations on your graduation, Megan!

With the holiday rush behind us, it’s nice to look back at some of the fun family portraits I had the privilege to create this past fall. One of my favorite sessions was with the wonderful family featured here. The whole family was pleasant and easy going which made the session even more enjoyable for me.

I love their clothing choices! While you can rarely go wrong with matching colors for a family portrait, more and more people seem to want to deviate from all wearing the same thing. The unfortunate part is that when everyone in the family wears whatever they like, the result can be a distracting image where the faces in the portrait get lost in a sea of competing colors and patterns. I think this family found the perfect balance between the two approaches. Each family member looks comfortable in their choice of clothing and all the colors harmonize beautifully. Sticking with solid shades certainly helps.

I also appreciate how they thought through their clothing from head to toe. It can be easy to forget about your choice of footwear when planning your family portrait. A pair of white sneakers, flip flops or unmatched socks in an otherwise coordinated family ensemble can create a posing challenge for a photographer. When everyone is coordinated head to toe, there are no limitations on posing. I recommend to moms that they lay out the family’s clothing (including socks and shoes) on the bed prior to the portrait session so they can spot problems beforehand.

Choosing classic styles of clothing also ensures that you’ll have a portrait that won’t soon look like it’s out of date. It’s a great way to create a heirloom portrait that you’ll be happy to pass down through the generations.

This blog entry falls into the category of “better late than never” for me. Sometimes life gets in the way of blogging.

I had so much fun photographing Hailey’s senior portraits! We started at Chautauqua Park and then headed to Pearl Street…two of Hailey’s favorite places. What might be surprising is that Hailey doesn’t live in Colorado. She has visited many times and plans to attend college here. Her warm personality and her enthusiasm for these locations made this a special senior session. And her mom was also a joy. The weather held out and we were still early enough in the season to capture some of the incredible fall color in the area.

I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to create senior portraits for three of the beautiful children in this family. Kierstyn, you were a joy to photograph!

September is here and the senior portrait season is in full swing.  Here’s a sneak peek at one of the beautiful senior girls I had the privilege to photograph.

Leah, I had a lot of fun working with you! I can’t wait to show you the rest of your images.  

There’s still time to book your senior session. Call me at (303) 494-4723 to schedule your appointment.

It was a beautiful day and B and A were wonderful little  angels for our portrait session in the park!

These adorable twins cooperated so well with me and their mom. They definitely deserved their Smarties at the end of the session.

And kudos to mom for dressing them so appropriately.

After a few posed shots, we had some fun blowing bubbles.

And had big sister join in on the picnic for a few poses.

August is a great time for children’s portraits, family portraits and high school senior portraits in the park. Give me a call today at (303) 494-4723 to schedule your session.
