I am so happy to be back in Colorado, in a state with seasons and beautiful fall colors. The golden colors and fallen leaves make wonderful backdrops. I had the pleasure of recently photographing a couple fall portrait sessions.

The first was a family photo session with an old coworker from the Times-Call, her husband and their beautiful little girl, Perry. It had all the normal challenges of working with a child her age and all the fun little unexpected moments.

It was so fun to catch up with Rachel and her family.

The second was senior photos for my friend’s son. It is a very different type of photo session when the subject takes direction! These were done a couple weeks later in Longmont. I had Taylor choose a location that meant something to him, so we went to a state park that he often fishes in. I was honored to document such a landmark event in this young man’s life.

His parents came along and I took a few shots of them as well, much to his dismay because they were wearing Bronco’s shirts. Taylor is not a Bronco’s fan. He was a good spot about it though, It is too bad he didn’t have his team’s jersey with him to get a real rivalry photo.

This last one is the one Taylor chose for his yearbook photo. I am glad it was one that was taken in a memorable spot, right where he often fishes. I wish Taylor all the best in his senior year and future endeavors.

Happy Fall everyone! Hopefully soon I will get those Iceland and Japan photos up. They were both very photo-rich places and I can’t wait to have the time to finish my edits.
