Spring in Denver is very unpredictable. One day it might be 70 and sunny, while the next day might be 30 with 2 feet of snow. Setting up outdoor photo shoots is tough because of this. You have to be prepared for anything, even rescheduling. On the morning of Cassandra's senior photo shoot, the ground had a fresh coating of snow and the sky was covered with clouds. Fortunately, the saying "If you don't like the weather in Colorado, wait a few minutes" held true and by the afternoon the sun came out and it warmed up outside.
Of course, this didn't mean it was really warm outside. We met in Cherry Creek to wander the streets and alleys, looking for interesting textures, colors and shops. We were able to find a few places that were tucked out of the wind, but most of our shoot was not that warm. Fortunately, Cassandra had a great attitude throughout her portrait session. Her great smile never wavered, even when she was in a cute little dress and the wind was blowing her hair all over the place. To be honest, I knew that since I was getting cold that she had to be cold, but she toughed it out and we were able to get some great photos.
Of course, no photo shoot is complete without random people asking to be in the photos (which happened while we were shooting). The only difference with doing a photo shoot in Cherry Creek versus in LoDo is the people who want to be in the photos are much less creepy and much better dressed!
Cassandra wants to go into beauty school after she finishes high school. Judging by her style and her personality, I think she'll be great at it! So, I'll stop talking and give you what you've been waiting for... the photos! Meet Cassandra.
