These photos are from the Spring, but I never had a chance to post them.  Isn’t Hannah lovely?  Best of Luck in College!!!

Check out this super rad rodeo riding senior.  Seriously though, we were dealing with 5 horses and it was definitely an experience I have never had before.  I know nothing about horses, so I think I was talking to them like they were dogs…. luckily Cyd and family were patient with my lack of horse knowledge.  We had a blast and I have a new appreciation for these beautiful animals.  Cydney is pretty much famous in the rodeo riding world, (I am sure she will love that I said that:) and she got a scholarship for her amazing talents and is off to school soon.  Best of luck to you!!!!

Kristin is a pretty awesome chick.  She is not only beautiful, but quite the brains also.  (She’s heading to BYU in the fall….,  I feel like a proud mom bragging…:)  Hopefully she isn’t too scarred from the homeless watching her change, or the random strangers taking pictures, or the sound of a gun shot in the street ally. – Don’t worry, her mom was there and said it was no big deal and keep shooting (I mean taking photos…)  Thank you Kristin for the fun, and for being a huge part in helping my daughter make cheerleading.  Best of luck, go knock the world dead.

Maybe because I have four sisters of my own, or maybe it’s because I love girls and how awesome we are…. I love this family.  I have known these girls since the oldest was 13, and have been lucky enough to watch them all grow up and now they are all graduated! The mom, the dad, the 4 girls, are all some of my favorite people in the world.  We had a blast roaming around downtown and I’m sure we had some looks considering I was with some stinking hot chicks. Love you H family!

These pictures tell it all…. these sweet seniors are stunning.  Such beautiful girls inside and out.  I truly love photographing high school seniors! We worked quick so we could get everything all in before the sun went down, but the timing was perfect and we got a little bit of everything. I was thinking of my old days as a cheerleader at Durango High School when I saw them walk up in their cheer uniforms.  Those days were some of the best memories of my life, and I could tell that these two were feeling the same way. Now I am basically an oldie…. but it seems like yesterday……

I’m glad I can reminisce on the good old days with all these high school kids.

Thanks chicks, you two are awesome, have a fabulous senior year!

Sarah and I headed to Town Square for her Senior portraits.  We had a blast and I am still amazed by her ability to change clothes at the speed of light…   We are kind of related, so I feel pretty lucky.  Good luck Sarah, I know you will have a fabulous future!!

It seems like when I photograph Sam, there is always wind!  However, I feel like this time with the starts and stops of wind gusts, it worked in our favor.  She is such a gorgeous girl and has a bright future in modeling ahead of her.  I told her just not to forget about me when she’s famous.  What a beauty!

50 mph Vegas winds + 2 fantastic girls that didn’t mind the chaos =  pretty dramatic pictures.
