I met Karli and her mom at Casper’s Wilderness Park on a sunny January afternoon. The sun shone through the trees and sparkled on the grass as I imaged it would in any fairytale movie. It had rained heavily the week prior and all the new spring grass was starting to poke through, showing signs of an early spring. As Karli added some final touches to her outfit, I admired the guitar she brought with her… a simple silky smooth Martin Acoustic. I smiled to myself noticing all of this… the perfect weather, the butterflies and birds, and this sweet girl with her guitar…. and I knew this was going to be a PERFECT portrait shoot.

Karli is one of the sweetest and most beautiful 12 year olds I have ever met. Not only is she beautiful, but she’s also a great student, an athlete, and an extremely gifted musician! You can listen to her cover of Taylor Swift’s “White Horse” here:  White Horse, Cover by Karli

We had such a fun time that afternoon… here are my favorites…

We brought out Karli’s little friend Charlie for a few photos. They’re so cute together!

Then we took a few with her parents who are some of the most supportive parents I know! They’re so proud of their little girl and it shows in how much they invest in her. Karli, you’re one lucky girl!

Look at this fierce face! Karli! You rock girl!!

LET'S work
TOGETHER

This life is thrilling and grand and moments of greatness are threaded through loss, grief, and uncertainty. So for tonight, let's dance and celebrate the love we have here. Now. What a gift. The ultimate luxury.

Whether your love is the strong silent kind that shows itself in knowing eyes and tender embraces, or if your love is the loud laughter and infectious kind that can barely contain the joy and excitement you feel... I want to be there. With my camera. Taking snapshots so that time will forever be frozen still.
