Boulder, Colorado Anniversary session

Jordan and Boris once met me at a park in Austin and paid $40 for photos of them smiling through the mid 20’s temperature. I still have a few of those pictures on my website, and after all these years, they’re still letting me take portraits of them in the cold!

I was pretty bummed about losing a client base in Texas I built up over the years when I moved to Colorado, but these guys made sure to save a couple hours for me in Boulder on their vacation around the state. This December means seven years together for Jordan and Boris. While the majority of their relationship was spent traveling back and forth between America and Holland, they’ve finally been able to be together in Texas, and Boris officially moved here! They’ve spent the week traveling around different towns in Colorado, soaking up the amazing winter we’re having and playing in the snow. There was no shortage of snowballs and throwing of the fluffy stuff during our shoot too :) We decided to meet to watch the sunrise on Flagstaff mountain, hitting up all the best spots along the drive.

After waking up before the sun to ski the day before our shoot, I knew exactly when the mountain magic would start, so the three of us hopped from rock to rock while watching and waiting for the hot pink light to strike the peaks.

This is kind of cheesy, but when I first moved here, I posted a goal of mine was to do a snowy shoot with mountain backdrops and these two. Four months later and we all made it a reality!! Thanks so much Jordan + Boris for letting me show you my favorite little scenic drive, and HAPPY SEVEN YEARS!
