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:

Jake:: senior

Aaah, it's that time of year again.
Students are moving up to the next grade, graduating, moving on, starting anew.

Jake and his friend, Brice, decided to take their Senior Pictures together.
So, this post will be all about Jake:

the funny, quirky, outside the box, musician (seriously, check out his stuff on youtube by clicking HERE!)...

Oh man...morning light. Makes me so giddy.

yes, Beatles style...
