Lila is graduating this year from Stargate High School in Thornton, Colorado. And it turns out, she’s a very good friend of my daughter who will be a sophomore at Stargate this year herself.
Lily chose Flatirons Vista right outside Boulder for her shoot. It’s a great location with easy parking and access to areas to shoot.
The only issue we had this night was the wind which is pretty typical of Boulder. Fortunately, we had some cute hats available which can make dealing with wind a little easier.
My daughter Lila was our assistant for this shoot. She’s worked with me for several years and is excellent at using a reflector and holding my lights. She also can provide some pretty awesome tunes.
When I first shared Lily’s gallery with her, she told me that she absolutely loved the black and white images. Black and white senior photos do not get nearly as much love as they should so I was super excited to hear this. And, of course, these are the ones I will share on my social media.
As the sun started to set behind the mountains, we started to get some really gorgeous light in Lily’s photos.
As always, I like to finish up my senior shoots doing some OCF (off-camera flash) work with my Profoto lights. Thankfully the wind died down so we were able to include this type of work.
And I had to include this cute little candid of Lily.
Thanks for coming to play at Flatirons Vista outside Boulder, Colorado with me for your senior photos, Lily! It was so fun to see you and Lila hanging out and laughing together. I hope you have the best senior year and I’m happy I could be an important part of it.
