If you live near baldy, it must be in the backdrop of your family portrait in the winter!! Am I right??

Carly is one of our “Season Seniors”…she chose to do three sessions and sadly this was her last session. I’m so happy for her as she approaches the end of her senior year but sad our fun together is over. We captured some family portraits at her final session, which I highly recommend. Our original plan to do portraits at their cabin did not work out with all the road closures so we did the second best location, right near their home town. I’m all for the destinations that have meaning. This makes my heart so happy!!

This family came into my life many years ago, what started as their trek every year to come to our Santa Event, turned into family portraits and now senior portraits. But most importantly a beautiful friendship! Love this family and so thankful to be the one capturing their memories.

I know I ask this often, where is your special place? Where would your family portraits take place?

PS. I have always wanted a helicopter to drop me and my clients off at really crazy locations. Anyone up for an adventure. 😉

Snow Session Saturday!! ❄️❄️❄️

It’s been a hot minute since this family was in front of my camera. I have watched these girls grow up since in mama’s tummy and I can’t tell you how great it was to see them!! It was my first time meeting the family dog too! Silly dog that just loves his humans so much!

Including the family dog in family pictures can be a little crazy but with a little patience and a few attempts, it is totally worth it! I almost always get the same reaction when I ask, “do you have a dog that you would like to bring to your session?”
I get a big sigh, a laugh and pretty much a “hell no”. haha I try.

Would you include your dog or dogs in family portraits?

Byron in the winter…

Byron is one of my awesome “Season Seniors”. We captured his winter season in the snow with a few outfit changes, his dog, and a quick family shot that I freaking love. I don’t usually suggest coats for family portraits but this was meant to be a quick shot as they are. Not really any planning. Well shoot! Hot damn, it’s lovely!! The winter session is by far the shortest session due to the cold and it can be hard to walk around without sinking to your waist. At least one leg sinks all the way in. You never know with each step. It really is quite comical!

Byron is quickly approaching his graduation. He has been so fun to work with! He is so quiet and may think I’m a nut but goes along with all ideas! I appreciate that! He has one more session in the spring. In the spring we will capture him in the foothills with his mountain bike. The location is a pretty special place that no one would know about out it unless they like to mountain bike or hike in our amazing foothills. We planned a great year of locations, props, outfits and captured all the changes! Thanks for being so awesome, Byron! Can’t wait to see you follow your dreams after you graduate!

Snow Session Saturday!! ❄️❄️❄️

This session is one of our “Season Seniors”. We captured his Winter session a few weeks ago. James chose two seasons to capture everything about him! James had a Fall session up at Bogus and now this winter season. That’s what is so great about these season sessions, we get to capture all the changes during senior year. The girls get a chance to wear their hair curly, straight, up, down, hats, etc. The boys have short hair, long hair, facial hair, oh my! They change so much their senior year. I was just looking at James Fall session and was shocked at the changes since then! We also get to capture all their hobbies and interests spread out in anywhere from two to four seasons. This session we captured him with his dog, his new van, by himself and with his family. It snowed on us the entire time but man it was beautiful!

We already have a few kids on the list! What a fun way to honor your senior! Fun way to see them change durning their senior year.

We went from 1-2 season seniors the last few years to 15 this year!! Most kids are doing four seasons, I have some doing three seasons and some doing two seasons! One is legit as well! I’m happy to help you decide what is best for your senior!

We will start with a planning session to get started.
