So you’ve booked your senior portrait session, and now it’s time to prepare for it! First of all, don’t stress out about it! This is supposed to be a fun experience. Preparing for your shoot should not be stressful. But preparing will definitely make the day go much smoother. Here are my top pieces of […]

My first Denver senior photo shoot last month with 17-year-old Alyiah was so much fun and yielded so many beautiful images that I cannot wait for my next senior shoot! We shot in four different locations, my home studio, RiNo Art District, Confluence Park and Belmar Lake, with several outfit and jewelry changes. Alyiah did […]

I recently moved to Denver from Maui where I worked as a family photographer, mostly for visiting tourists. For whatever reason, senior photo shoots were not very popular on Maui. In fact, the only senior photo shoot I did on Maui was for a young woman who came to visit the island last year at […]

They quickly grew close, fell in love and became best friends but were firm in their decision to get an education and focus on their careers. The couple supported one another through many late night study sessions and busy […]
