All in the Family

It's his senior year...not possible I say!! This senior is growing incredibly too fast. I feel like it is important to do a throwback in the spirit of photographic memories. I met Colton when he was 3 years old! He was the best little ring bearer in our wedding and now, graduating??? Wow, where did that time go?

Fast forward to 2015, I had the pleasure to photograph cousin Colton and hang with family. It seems like life can become so busy that this was a nice treat to celebrate this milestone and share some of my favorite spots at home. :) We started the session at Vedauwoo and Colton was a trooper. He has big dreams of joining the Army after high school...Hooah! He is a great student, wonderful athlete, loves the outdoors, hunting, swords, and has a deep love for this awesome country. Let's take a look:

After Vedauwoo, we spent a little time in downtown Laramie embracing the artistic murals & urban backdrops. Laramie was hoppin' this weekend as students were moving into dorms, an art festival was taking place at the Train Depot, a wedding nearby, and we stumbled on an old car show downtown! It was so fun. The highlight of the day was walking past a cherry red '57 Chevy. This sparked conversation among the family that Colton's great grandfather drove this car. We were taking pictures in front of the vehicle and the owner learned that it was Colton's senior picture day. He allowed him to step inside for the REAL photo op! This made all of our day!! It will be a memory not forgotten and the sentiment behind family lineage will always be in his photos. The ultimate treasure.

You have to do a black and white for this one...it's a must. :)

Have a great year, Colton! Rock 2016! You have a bright future waiting & may God bless your new chapter!

She's a Senior!! 2016 Baby!!

Woot Woot! Cayla is a senior! That means fun celebratory pictures! I had a great day with this gal and her aunt as she scoped out a gorgeous location and SHE was the perfect addition to the beauty of the day! This girl is extremely hardworking, dedicated dancer, beautiful inside and out, sweet spirit, and I have faith she will go on to do great things. :)

We started the shoot with a barn backdrop and moved toward the rocks of Garden of the Gods. Bridges, tall grasses, a church, etc. hit this photographer's sweet spot! It was a blast!

Here's a little peek of our afternoon together (trying to beat the rain storm brewing-typcial CO!!). We made it even as the thunder rolled!

Simply beautiful.

Her boots are made for walking' across that stage!!!

Dance!!!

Probably my fave. :)

Or maybe this is my fave? Too many good ones!!

There are soooo many more! I could blog for a couple more days! :)

Cayla! The future is bright for you! Shine your light and God bless you as you finish this milestone! Thank you for the fun day!! I can't wait to see what's next!!

Those Colorado roots fit you well!

Spine and Injury Clinic of Laramie

July gave me the best surprise! A business photo shoot!! Yes!! This business is close to my heart as I have been fortunate to hear about their growth from the ground up. This group is so special and has done a wonderful job with their clinic. I couldn't be prouder of their performance and thankful for their friendship. So, when they asked for some staff head shots and photos, there was not one bit of hesitation!! Count me in!!

Take a look!!
