A Summer Night Session

I spend many summer nights in these beautiful mountains! I love watching that golden light paint the hilltops as it fades in the distance. They were lusciously adorn with tall green grass and sprinkles of wildflowers all around, making for an extra magical scene. This was my first session with Katie and Steven, sweet little Nolan was only six months old. These two love birds actually got married not far from this spot, dropped off by helicopter, like a scene straight out of The Bachelor.

They brought their sweet little Frenchie along for a few photos, and I’m so glad they did! He was so adorable! I just love it when people include their pets in their photos…and I just love dogs in general! I love that this location is a bit secluded, with a little stream and also has such great views, it has a little bit of everything you look for in a mountain setting, and is really just off the side of the road!

I loved the colors they went with, orange and blue is one of my favorite combinations. I’ve actually used that color combo in my own family photos a few times. I love the flow of Katie’s dress and that the boys matched with their blue button downs. Sweet Nolan was so good throughout the whole session which was nice, especially since we shoot so late on summer nights to get that glowing light!

He was doing so well that we decide to head to a different spot to get some variety before calling it a wrap. Our next spot was a bit of a climb, but so worth it! I mean, just look at those views. I’m so glad they were up for a little adventure. Usually once I get started i could shoot until we run out of light! I guess that’s what happens when you’re passionate about what you do.

I’m so happy to have met these beautiful people and to be included in some sweet moments with them! I’m grateful to have a career that allows me to meet new people that become friends, and to get to share in some of the most important days of their lives, and even some of the not so extraordinary days. Ones like these where we just get to chill together and create beautiful images! Thank you
