Snowy Senior Session at “The Nelson”

I have been busy this winter and LOVE it! Even more fun is the fact that not only are clients scheduling studio sessions, but I am still getting clients who want to get out “on location” this winter!

There is no specific answer when people ask me what my “dream client” would look like. As a matter of fact I don’t usually know the answer to that question until I show up to a session and there they are. I can tell you it almost always involves someone who is creative in some way though, so when Karinton said she was wearing her “Senior jeans” that she painted herself, I knew she would fit into the category (and it didn’t hurt that she was a beautiful and super photogenic girl!). Even better she was so sweet and fun. Karinton plans to major in Criminal Justice in college and I just know her future is very bright!

Addi ~ Gorgeous Fall Senior Session; Blue Springs and Independence, MO

So Addi isn’t so much doing “Senior Photos” as much as she is doing a whole “Senior Photo Project”.  We are doing a photo shoot for every season of her senior year! This beautiful girl is like a sister to my own daughter (so I had to include her in one photo as well) and is so much fun to photograph.  She and her mom come up with the best visions and all I have to do is show up with my camera and bring them to life.  We always have so much fun!  This is really true of all of my Senior Sessions though which is why they are one of my favorite types of sessions. Senior photos aren’t just about getting great pictures.  The whole process is one of those milestones and memories that every kiddo should get to experience and it should be FUN!  Addi will have lots of memories for sure and no shortage of beautiful photos either!

Extended Family Fun in Blue Springs, MO

Sometimes clients become friends.  Sometimes friends become clients.  I am so grateful for both!  This session was the latter.  These fellow hockey and Lacrosse parents and good friends asked me to do an extended family session for them and of course I couldn’t wait to help out!  Not only was it so much fun, but some beautiful memories were captured too.

Kansas City, Mo High School Senior Photography Session- Hannah S

Hooray, it’s Spring!  For a photographer who primarily shoots outdoors, winter is kind of equal to a teacher’s summer…only colder.  I think every profession should have this “off” time.  It’s a great time to refresh, refuel, collect new ideas and inspiration and if you are lucky enough to be doing something you love, to MISS it and come back excited to be doing it again!  Hannah was my first outdoor session of the new year and I was so excited for her session, not only to be back out shooting but because it was a High School Senior Session which is one of my faves!  Most of my Senior sessions get scheduled in the fall and I am fortunate to have several of them every weekend for a month or two.  But every year there area a few last minute Spring Senior Sessions that trickle in and I am so happy that this beautiful girl was one of them this year!

Hannah is the President of Debate at her High School and also is very involved in public speaking and theater.  She is the lead in the spring play her Senior year!  For her Photo Session, she really just wanted to be her.  She wanted “natural” looking images and wanted to capture who she was at this time in her life…which I think is what every successful Senior Session should accomplish.  She loved colors and flowers in nature and we were lucky enough to have the perfect spring weekend for that!  I also LOVE that she brought an old poetry book to incorporate!

Congratulations Hannah and Class of 2019!
