I am so excited to have Brenna representing Dawn Sparks Graduates at her high school this year.  As beautiful as she is sweet, Brenna was a total rock star during her senior pictures, braving the blazing sun!  It was a ton of fun hanging out and getting to know you!  Thanks Polly for a fabulous job on makeup, as always!

Also, I’ll be announcing a Graduate contest in the near future!

Kim and other misc…

I know I know…I’ve been MIA again around here recently.  I took a SWEET Florida vacation for 10 days and I have to be honest, I wasn’t ready to come home.  It was so nice getting away from Colorado’s unpredictable spring.  As a Florida native, I start getting really itchy for warm weather around March.  So for over a week, our family enjoyed swimming everyday in Memmie and Pop’s pool, surfing, chasing waves, visiting Disney and family that we don’t see often.  When we arrived back in Denver on Sunday evening, it was wonderful to see that the weather had warmed up and that everything had turned green.  It certainly made coming back to reality a lot easier.  I’ll try to post pictures of some of our Florida trip soon but  before I do, I need to blog Kim.  

Kim is another one of my senior reps and she did an AMAZING job at her shoot.  It was freezing the Saturday of her shoot but you’d never know it from her pictures.  When Kim mentioned that she owns horses and loves riding, I knew I wanted to incorporate that into her senior pictures.  I mean, how hard is it to take pictures of a horse, right?  I now have a new respect for animal photographers because Tucker wasn’t exactly into pictures and really just wanted to eat the whole time.  We managed some great shots anyway.  Here are a few from her session.

I love that you incorporate things from each shoot, that points out different aspects of each girl's personality, preferences, etc. I love these horse shots!!! They are all so beautiful. What a great way to do something new and inventive. I love each and every one! (05/20/09, 6:08 pm)
