Another beautiful senior girl to show you from Falcon High School!  Heather chose Monument Valley Park for her shoot, and I’m so glad she did.  The morning we went out, it was dreary, foggy, and misting over most of the front range, with the exception of over Monument Valley Park!  The mostly overcast sky made for beautiful, even light, and the occasional sun ray poking through the clouds warmed us up from time to time.

Heather is a fun girl, and it just so happens that she’s BFFs with Harley.  Just like Harley, Heather is bubbly, fun and very sweet.  Heather’s mom came along and only barely had to look at Heather before she was cracking up.  It’s so much fun to see a mom and daughter be so close during the teenage years…I hope I’ll be so lucky!

Thanks so much Heather!  I had a great time with you.  :)

I had such a blast in Manitou Springs with Harley!  She’s a Falcon High School senior who loves to be on stage, smiles all the time, and is quick with a kindhearted laugh.  She’s probably one of the busiest kids I’ve ever encountered…I can’t even remember the laundry list of activities that she ran down when I asked her what she does…and she still manages to give some volunteer time to a Puppy Mill Rescue near her house.  Harley is planning on heading to UNC Greeley next year to study theater.  I can totally picture her being on Broadway someday!

Thanks so much, Harley…you’re so much fun!

In my years as a teacher, it was never hard for me to pick the kids who were my favorites.  It was always the seniors.  I know, I wasn’t supposed to have favorites, and it’s not to say that there were never any non-seniors that I didn’t adore, because that’s not true.  But I always loved the seniors.  What an awesome time in your life…and yet, so very potentially difficult at the same time.  It’s awesome to get to capture kids in the moments before they spread their wings and fly away from their home, away from their parents, and finally become the people they were meant to become.  It’s really no wonder that I always have so much fun shooting each of my senior sessions.

Robert was no different.  He is SO smart.  The whole time I was taking his picture he was talking to me about things that are so over my head that I can’t even remember an example.  Don’t get me wrong-I was fascinated.  He is FULL of knowledge.  It wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if he were running the free world some day!  Robert is a senior at Falcon High School, and he’s hoping to attend the Air Force Academy here in Colorado Springs next year.  So it seemed fitting that we head to the beautiful USAFA for his senior pictures.

Thanks so much for driving me around Phil, Julie, and Robert!  I had so much fun.
