Connor :: Senior Session

I could tell as soon as I arrived, that Connor, like most high school guys, wasn't thrilled about having his picture taken. And yes, that honestly made me a little nervous...because even the best photographer in the world can't cover up the unhappy look in a teenager's eyes. So, I took a deep breath and did my best to convince him that I really wasn't such a horrible person to hang out with for a while... 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, how did I do? Well, I asked his mom if he had any favorites images from the session and she said he likes all of them...YAY!! That made my day :)

Feel free to email if you have any questions about senior sessions.

And just one day left for the spring promotion!! I'm hoping a few more people sign up because I really want to give away some prizes!!

Beautiful Ashley

We weren't sure how the weather was going to hold up, but it turned out to be just right for what we needed....good light and gentle breeze. This is the first senior session that I've done on the KC Plaza. It's such an amazing place; I could play there all day! Of course, it does always help when you have such a beautiful girl to photograph...

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

And this is only a sneak peek! I have so many more amazing images from this session. It really was hard to pick just a few!

This senior portrait session was AMAZING!

When her mom first called to set up the appointment, she said her daughter would love to do something different...something in a creek...maybe even getting in the water at the end of session. This was so exciting for me to hear because I love creating images that are unique and truly capture the personality of the person I'm photographing.

The creek I found was PERFECT (thank you, Sandy!), Erika is BEAUTIFUL, and the images turned out INCREDIBLE!  These are just a few of my instant favorites....

Thanks Erika...for making my job so much fun!

Beautiful "R"

Sometimes I feel so blessed! I get to meet and photograph some of the most beautiful people.....inside and out!

Here's a sneak peek from a senior session I did this past weekend.

I captured so many images with this great smile, but I thought it'd be fun to post a little variety. So, here are some of her more serious looks...

 

OK, one more great smile pic :D

The BIG 1-8

When her mom mentioned that the big 18th birthday was coming up, the first thing I said was "can I come photograph her?". I love it when there is something significant about the day (like when a baby is exactly 6 months old, it's a birthday, the last day of school, or a wedding day); I think it just adds a little something special to the portraits.

 

 

Happy Birthday "W"!
