My never ending quest for unique and modern senior portraits has led me to Boulder’s Lower East Side. It is never hard to find a cool background, as there is a plethora of amazing randomness to choose from. Meet the star of today’s shoot:  Natalie from Fairview High School.

I’ve been thinking about doing a senior portrait shoot with one of my vintage cruiser bikes for quite a while now. When Natalie and her Mom visited my studio for a consultation; I knew that she was just the girl for the job! I chose my 1976 Schwinn Spitfire for this shoot since it’s more feminine than my 1952 Monark Cycle King. That means I still need to do a cruiser shoot with a guy!

Yet another concept that I’ve been kicking around in my head is doing a senior portrait night shoot. I positioned this shoot late in the day so that after the sun set we could do a night scene. How about that cow print garage door?!
