katie

Katie is one of the most unique people I’ve ever met. And I’ve met quite a few somehow thanks to the universe sending them my way. She’s an actress. And she’s golden through and through. She’s just one of those people that you know has good things coming her way. You look at a person’s life and you see how they react and come through things and you know: this is someone special.

I was honored to have her in front of my lens.

alec {kansas city photographer}

Alec was my second senior guy to photograph. I’ve known Alec and his family for several years, so there was definitely that level of comfort I love to have going into a shoot. Alec is another individual that is just his own person. He knows what he’s into and doesn’t really care who approves. We had a lot of fun shooting and getting a little crazy. We always try to get a little crazy at photo shoots. Some of you know what I’m talking about. haha.

Here are some of my favorites from Alec’s shoot:

Let’s hear it for the boys. I only had 2 senior boys this year, which is entirely typical, but I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed working with both. First up was Taylor and let me just say, what a great young man. This guy really puts out the chill vibe. Totally easy to hang with and photograph. This guy is going places with such a positive attitude.

Here are some of my favorites.

shelbi {kansas city photographer}

I love it when upcoming senior girls already have me picked out as their photographer. It means that they’ve been following my work and they just get it. This was Shelbi. It’s how I knew I already liked her. :) But really, she is just a happy ray of sunshine, which is good since we really had none at her shoot! That’s ok, she was a pleasure to work with and just super nice. I thought it was especially cute that she was losing her voice a little and she told me it was because, “I just get really excited at games.”…referring to her heavy involvement in sports at school. Gotta love that enthusiasm.

Here are some of my favorites from the session:

Beauty comes in so many colors and sizes and shapes. If you’ve been following my work for very long, you know I connect most with people who are individuals, who walk off the beaten path (which isn’t always the easiest one), and who love each other with abandon. When Christa and Jenny, sisters,  brought their kids down for the shoot, I knew I was in for a very fun ride. Taking such a diverse group of kids, each from different countries and capturing their quirkiness and love for each other was a rewarding experience I will never ever forget.

It was an honor to capture that for them. Here are some of my favorites from the session.

sydney {kansas city photographer}

Most of my clients are people I would actually hang out with. And sometimes I just feel like I find soul mates. I had no idea what I was in for when I got Sydney’s email requesting to do her senior photos. I loved her quirky about me segment and as we literally ran around getting the photos while it threatened to rain on us that morning, we found one thing after another in common. I think our mutual love for Harry Potter, musical theater and omg..The Doctor *swoon*, really sealed the deal.

And the shoot. Good grief. Someone posted a comment on one of Sydney’s pictures on my Facebook page that she looked like a superhero and you know? That is a good description. She has this way of embodying awesomeness and just projecting it out into the world. I only just met her and have only spent a brief amount of time during the shoot, but she sure left an impression. This is a girl who’s going to kick major arse in her life. In a very good way.

I love this girl and I think you will love taking a look at her session.
