Yay!  Finally a guy! I love that Arthur wanted me to be his photographer.  It was a crazy day weather-wise, but we were patient and made it work...He is an avid golfer so we figured the perfect spot would be the golf course...and from what I hear, he is really really good too.  I wish him the best this last year of school before he heads off to college!

To Arthur and his parents: I will have the full gallery ready soon!

xoxo- heidi

...Another gorgeous soon-to-be graduate...I don't remember my friends and I ever looking like this or wearing such fantastic clothes...Seriously...What great taste this young woman has (all of the young ladies I have photographed the past week have had the most amazing style)...and her mom was there to cheer her on too...love that! We had the best spot for a photo shoot and the wind almost made us postpone it, but we were brave and actually had a lot of fun trying to make the wind work for us...It was a ton of fun and I am so glad she chose me!  Thank you Jessica!  I hope you love them! There will be many more in your full gallery...

xoxo-h

How gorgeous is this soon-to-be graduate! I had such a fabulous time with her...We went up to DMR (Durango Mountain Resort) to get some photos in a chair-lift as she loves to ski and we got SO lucky as the colors are absolutely stunning right now...It was so great that we did the entire shoot up there...She and her mom totally trusted me as we did some death-defying feats for a few photos that gave me a few heart attacks for sure, but it was worth it! Thank you Kelsey!  I hope you LOVE the photos!  There are so many more and I will have your entire gallery ready soon!

...I am so excited to now be photographing high school seniors...These two gorgeous high school seniors (Durango High School) were so much fun to photograph...They wanted a rooftop, so I went and found one ~the gorgeous Crossroads Building *thanks to my wonderful friends who allowed us access up there*...I am so glad they wanted something a little different, a little more industrial and modern...

Tasha and Bryanna~ I hope you love these and I can't wait to show you the entire gallery from the photo-shoot as there are a lot more photos!  I am SO glad we got it all before the rain came down! You two were fabulous and I wish you all the best in your last year at DHS!

Hi! This is just a teaser to the full sneak peek of these two fantastic & beautiful seniors at Durango High School as I just had to share a couple before the full post tomorrow...What an honor that they chose me to photograph them...It was a blast too...I can't wait to show the full sneak peek!  Please come back as I have some fun new things that I tried and love love love the way they turned out! 

I am playing catch up with my blog posts as I have neglected the blog for too long and have a TON of photo shoots to share, so watch out for LOTS of blog posts over the next few days!  Another is coming later today from the Dalton Ranch photo shoot...then balloons, then seniors, then cookies and jewelry...then a very very busy next few of months with more families, brides, engagements, babies & seniors...yay!

LOTS of LOVE to my FABULOUS clients!

I am so impressed by this young woman.  She has so much talent and has more self-awareness than anyone I have ever known at her age & she is so incredibly gorgeous inside and out.  She has a lot of wonderful things in her future as she is a person that makes things happen and does so with honesty and integrity.  I love that...

~p.s. She told me she thought I could be 25 if she did not know my real age & that I had two kids...you gotta love that...:) Seriously gotta love that:)...That made my day for sure:)~

Tori ~ Thank you for being so wonderful.  I hope you love these...there are more to come!

~I asked the uber talented Alana with Mixed Greens Event Design to create some gorgeous hairpieces to compliment the ballet photos and I was blown away by what she made...I wanted more of a fashiony feel and she nailed it ~ she even used live plants on the main one...Tori and I actually ran out of time on the photo shoot, so I have another one hair piece I am going to have to find another model for...:)  Thank you so much Alana ~ you are amazing!  I think these would make incredible bridal accessories for that bride that wants something unique and gorgeous~

...My girls and I are sick today...But how cute is Addi in my shoes:)...My girls love shoes~just like me...Uh Oh!!!

...Sorry for the lack of regular posts lately.  I will get back on track I promise. I have been a busy busy bee taking photos, editing images, getting galleries up and ordering the most amazing products for clients...I have also been trying to finish my new website and blog to get it all up to date...I still have a little to go, but soon...soon...and the rest of the year is looking quite busy, so I am trying to get everything perfect asap, as I don't think I will have time for a lot of extra tedious stuff over the next few months...

...I am very excited about all the things happening here, so I promise I will have more in store soon...

...And for seniors at Durango High School or elsewhere, I have availability for senior sessions...and I have a couple great incentives for you if you book and refer me to a classmate as well as if you & a friend book me on the same day...contact me for more information...

xoxo-heidi
