Meet Callie. She describes herself as an "outdoorsie" Colorado girl, and it suits her very well, don't you think? Runner, horse whisperer, and lovely as the Colorado outdoors, which treated her (and us) to an especially nice Fall day.

Every senior we shoot brings some new request, and we love the adventure of capturing a new idea. So, when Catalina said she wanted to do a shoot in the water, we were all in (literally)! After searching around for a while, we hit upon the newly refilled Palmer Lake as the perfect spot. And it was. But. It was a little cold and squishy, too. Okay, A little cold and a lot squishy. As in we still have mud between our toes. But what a blast it was, and we captured this beautiful young lady in...well...we guess you could call it her element.
Tanner is an impressive young man in many ways. He has character, poise, good looks (clearly), and a golf score that reminds you of a pleasant summer day (as opposed to Dave's which reminds you of Death Valley in an uncommonly hot summer). That being the case, he and his dad thought it would be great to capture his passion in some unique way. Then something went boom.
When I asked Andrea's coach how people get into pole vaulting, he looked at me for a moment before replying. "You have to be very fast, athletic...and a little bit crazy."
After having the opportunity to watch Andrea entrust her life to a pretty thin-looking flexible pole...I concur. Not for any lack of athletic ability or grace, though. Quite the opposite. She's the top pole vaulter in the state and in the top 15 in the country, so it's a treat to watch her.
But wait, there's more. Not only is she a 6-foot-tall force-to-be-reckoned-with, she's also a very nice, lovely young woman. So, who wouldn't want to hang out with her, capturing each incredible facet?
You'd have to be crazy.
