Last Fall, I did his senior session, buuuut never got around to posting a preview of it because blogging just takes up too much time. Time that could be spent shooting, traveling, hiking, biking, hanging out with friends and family ... you name it. Needless to say, I love being a photographer, but blogging? Not so much. :) Here are a few shots we did for his modeling Holly-girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05149950801716358081noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1936545063602917240.post-84086628244048266212016-02-25T21:51:00.000-07:002016-02-25T21:51:41.744-07:00Fifteen

I really enjoyed this fun, easy-going session from this Fall.
This is my favorite time of year to photograph!

I've wanted to illustrate this point before, but I've never taken the time to do it until now. Oftentimes, people don't realize the impact that editing has on an image unless they see the before and the after together. The image on the left was SOOC (a.k.a. straight out of camera). The image on the right has been edited for exposure, tint, color balance, contrast, Holly-girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05149950801716358081noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1936545063602917240.post-66408291922411154152015-04-06T15:15:00.000-06:002015-04-06T15:15:21.483-06:00Mary - Class of 2015
Graduation is right around the corner and I'm gearing up for the new high school senior season so I thought it would be a good idea to get caught up a *little bit* on posting some of my 2015 grads. It was a fun season to photograph because many of the seniors that I photographed I had known for many years, and Mary was no exception. I loved being a part of this special Holly-girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05149950801716358081noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1936545063602917240.post-57008598721876100512014-11-10T21:48:00.005-07:002014-11-10T21:49:05.588-07:00Colton - Class of 2015

Regan comes from a family with 3 fabulous girls and I had the good fortune to photograph every single one of those girls senior sessions over the past six years. Not only that, but they each requested the same location. They are the only clients I've had that have that unique distinction. What a pleasure it has been to be a part of their lives in that way!

The upside: I had an amazing season of high school seniors this year which I loved!
The downside: I didn't have any time left over for blogging any of those amazing senior sessions.
Ah, well. I'd much rather spend my time shooting sessions than blogging them so I'll take that trade-off any day.
Isabel was one of the first to kick off my senior season this year

I just HAD to post a *few* from Prom. She looked so beautiful and so grown up! We had a major snowstorm roll in that evening and we just barely missed the beginning of the rain and wind. I felt so lucky to get some shots in before that happened. I considered it my early Mother's Day present. :)

I took film and digital shots for this session with my beautiful friend, Kari. These are a few of the digital images. I felt like a fish out of water with a borrowed Contax 645 in my hands, but the challenge was really good for me and I will be so amazed and delighted if some of the film images turned out.

This girl is growing like a weed. I know it's a cliche, but it's such an apt description of this long-limbed phase of her life. All that sunshine and junk food has served her well this summer. I have a tendency to squeeze her towards me a lot throughout the day because I don't want to forget the pure sweetness of having a child this age.

I'm short on words these days, but not short on love.
This kid is so much sunshine to the square inch. Really.
She just celebrated her 12th birthday last week and I just wanted to
say that I'm so grateful that she's ours.

Stella is sweet and beautiful.
She has one of my all-time favorite names aaaand

Just call me jealous already, Stella.

She is beautiful and talented with a darling personality ... pretty cool name, too. ;)

Allison was one of 4 beautifully pregnant women at the Focus Retreat.
I rarely take maternity images so it was fun for me to try my hand at it.

Over Memorial Day weekend, I had the great fortune of attending an all-women, all-mothers photography retreat in Park City, Utah. The experience exceeded my expectations on every level. I walked away with new appreciation for the power to be found in an artistic community of women ... to encourage, to uplift, to nurture, to inspire.
