This family’s Coot Lake, Boulder Family Photo Session was so pretty! I love this lake and area for walks and to enjoy the water below the mountains. We had plenty of sun and warmth for this session as we walked around the lake.
Kaia fell asleep on the drive over, so the best way we could get her to be awake and happy was to have this lollipop involved in the session.
Venue: Wedgewood Weddings - Boulder, CO
Photographers: (myself) and Mackenzie at Mackro Photography - https://www.mackrophotography.com/
Aleece and Jeff’s Boulder Creek wedding at WedgeWood was gorgeous!
I arrived and met the groomsmen to start taking photos with Mackenzie. This entire bridal party was hilarious. Typically, groups of people need prompting to look more natural and to relax a bit. These people were already there! They were cracking jokes nonstop and laughing, looking incredible! It was a challenge to reign them all in to take a photo of them looking at the camera with more serious faces. I would take this kind of challenge any day.
It started drizzling after the ceremony, so we took some quick group photos, but then there was a downpour with tons of thunder and lightning. No one was fazed- the cocktail hour moved under the tent where dinner would be and we ran out to take photos whenever the rain let up a little.
Re-posting one of my favorite high school senior photo sessions in Boulder!
Lilly's High School Senior Photoshoot at Chautauqua - Boulder, CO was gorgeous. We got there just before the sun was behind the mountains and we had the perfect amount of light. Lilly had never had professional photos taken before, so I did a lot of prompting and directing as I usually do to make people comfortable. Lilly is gorgeous and I loved this session.
Mary texted me a photo of her staircase and said “Look how nice the light is!!! Can you come over and take pictures of me?”
Mary and I are always looking for inspiration to take new photos and use the body as art. She really wanted to incorporate something different this time. She wasn’t sure what until I suggested water and her face lit up. These photos show our thought process for this lovely concept.
I’m so grateful to have Mary as a friend. She is vulnerable, emotional and so kind and passionate about life and her art.

I ordered a backpack from Sierra Trading Post and decided I would drive to Cheyenne, WY from Longmont, CO to pick it up and make a trip out of it.
We drove for about an hour and a half then got to downtown Cheyenne. We stopped for drinks at Accomplice Brewing and for ice cream at Mary’s Mountain Cookies. SO good. I was pretty excited to drive back and explore some rock formations we saw on our way up, so I left about an hour before sunset. The formations are like small canyons in one area of the open land and very odd.
I can’t wait for a longer road trip going further west into Wyoming. I’m grateful to have the freedom to explore these nearby places frequently and with good company.
Saturday Lake Hike - The weather was gorgeous this day. It was very warm around 11am and by 2 or 3pm, rain started falling and the temperatures dropped. It was a nice break from the harsh sun.
The blues here are incredible. I already want to go back :)
