Trent:: Senior

We went to one of his favorite places,
a place he's grown up going to:

"Apartment Rock"
It's up in the gorgeous CO mountains, near Rampart Range.

Lots of HUUUGE rocks, stacked on top of each other,
making for a super gorgeous view.

Trent and I had an awesome...
hiking,
climbing,
rock-jumping,
mini road trip adventure.

Sam:: Senior

Oh man, it's time to present:

Sam!

Okay, let's be honest...this was probably the most fun I've had on a photo shoot yet.
Ironically enough, on the way to the location, Sam and I were talking about how situations where you either:

A. Almost die
    and/or
B. Almost go to jail

make for the best stories.

Haha let's just say...our photo shoot almost got a whole lot more interesting.
But, in the end, we didn't die, nor go to jail; so it was successful.

Without further delay, here is SAM:
-chill
-nice
-water polo champ
-adventurous
-(ladies...don't drool too much, k?)

Sara:: Business Portraits

When you're starting your own business and putting together a new website...

you've gotta have some awesome pictures of yourself!

Sara Beth and I had way too much fun exploring this new location,
laying in the middle of the street (don't worry, we only almost got run over once),
trying in vain to find a pool,
and just enjoying being girly and rockin' the wind-blow-hair look.

I love getting to take pictures of people who aren't afraid of posing.
Doing things a little different.
Going out on a limb and trying new things.
It gets my creative juices flowing...
and that's what makes for good photos.

Nick + Rachel:: kiddos

Two really sweet kids + their grandma + black&white pictures.

It was the perfect 1st Day of Fall with these three.
Perfect weather.
Adorable smiles.
Sweet hearts.

What a great way to start off a new season:
with great pictures of you and the ones you love!

Happy Fall to you all!

Branam:: kiddos

sometimes...
all you need to do is buy some awesome frames at goodwill.
decide you want pictures of your kids in them.
and the result is this:

fun black&whites of the adorable Branam babies.
love this family.  They bless me daily.

hahaha that look...

and then they came tumbling down...

Brice:: Senior

Here it is!  The second portion of the Jake/Brice senior pictures!

I usually have a vision for what I want a photo shoot to look like.
Have a general idea of where I want to go.
But the fun part is the unexpected.  Adventure & spontaneity makes for great pictures.

We ended up stopping off at a parking garage then exploring some sketchier areas of Denver.  Ran into some funny Coloradans and crazy old people.  Couldn't have asked for a more flawless, fun photo shoot!  

Anyways, here is Brice:
the drummer, chill, laid back, and witty when you least expect it...

nasty old couch, dumpster, and an impromptu jam session: 

This is why go-with-the-flow works.  You find awesome paintings like this:
