manitou senior portraits
Taylor is a senior at St. Mary's in Colorado Springs, and is gorgeous and amazingly fun. I'm so jealous of her hair :) We had a blast shooting her senior portraits around downtown Colorado Springs and Manitou this summer!
As I was uploading, I couldn't stop staring at these last two images. My favorites! Taylor, you are SO stunning!
The lovely Josette and I had so much fun shooting her senior portraits! We brainstormed to come up with a shoot that was uniquely "her", and headed over to the Buena Vista Roastery with a huge stack of books for some of their delicious coffee & latte art, and we both consumed WAY too much coffee for the sake of the shoot :) I'm so jealous that she gets to go to France right after graduation!
Doesn't she look like an ad for ways to drink coffee more stylishly or something? So beautiful!
These next two are some of my favorites:
Josette - you're amazing! Thanks for a wonderfully fun shoot -be sure to send me a postcard from France ;)
My shoot with Christina, a sweet, easygoing, laid-back senior at St. Mary's in Colorado Springs, was one of my more memorable senior portrait shoots for many reasons. She brought along her boyfriend Josh (whose senior portraits I'm doing this upcoming weekend!) and the three of us wandered all around Old Colorado City in search of some fun and interesting shots. It was HOT. Like, really really hot. I'm pretty familiar with that area, having lived in Manitou for a few years, but I hadn't been there in a while, so I got there a little bit early and drove around to scout out some locations. I found this AWESOME apartment complex that had a cool courtyard - the buildings were all white with bright Smurf-blue trim and a bright Smurf-blue fire escape staircase, and the courtyard had one rainbow-colored pation umbrella! There was no one there when I drove past and I was getting excited and starting to form some shots in my mind. So I met up with Christina and Josh, who were also getting excited about these shots, and we drove back over there... only to find that it was not, in fact, an apartment complex. I guess it was a group home for people with disabilities. We showed up not ten minutes after I had first seen it and my cool empty courtyard was completely packed with people in wheelchairs. Thwarted!Never mind that... we soldiered on and got some sweet shots anyway. THEN, I saw this cool bungalow down a side street. It had handpainted signs all over it, and there were stuffed animals glued to the roof, and one random white chair in front of the whole thing. I turned to Christina and said, "We should definitely get some with you in that chair!" She started walking over there, and I was adjusting the exposure on my camera when she said, "Um, there's a naked guy over here!" We all started laughing and hurried away with the naked guy glaring at us from the bushes... like I said, this was a very memorable shoot. Christina, you're gorgeous and I had a ton of fun with you both! Josh, I'll see you this weekend :)
This girl has been one of my favorites for a long, long time. I have been lucky enough to shoot her on three separate occasions, and she is so sweet and so photogenic and so graceful and easygoing in front of the camera. We had such a great time shooting her senior portraits that we decided to make a mini-road trip out of it... so we borrowed her dad's Corvette and had some fun - downing energy drinks to feed our mutual caffeine addiction, comparing phobias, listening to ridiculous music, and driving through a seriously intense downpour. Lex - I absolutely adore you, but you should already know that. Too bad you never got to ride the buffalo -and don't forget about the homeless guy's coconut milk! :)Enjoy the hotness that is my lovely Lexy!
