Hunter is a senior this year at Free State High School and he rocked out his senior session with me. I think his images are amazing! I seriously think the boy could be a model. What do you think?
Enjoy your sneak peek Hunter—I can't wait to share the rest!
Lovely, lovely Kate. She is a dancer with Spotlight Dance Academy in Ottawa and is one of the most poised 13-year-olds I have ever met. It must be something about the dance studio they attend (paired with their awesome moms, of course!) because they have all been amazing to work with.
Here are a few of my favorites from her session.
Maddie is such a lovely, willowy girl. She makes short girls like me jealous! ;)
Simply gorgeous!
Ashley is a senior this year at Washburn Rural in Topeka and is one super busy girl. She is a singer who also does theatre, and her voice is amazing! Music plays such a huge role in Ashley's life that we wanted to create something gorgeous to reflect her passion for singing.
I think we pulled it off. Oh, and her other shots aren't too shabby either. ;)
Enjoy!
This is my new music note background—I think it looks awesome!
I am in absolute love with these next few shots. I wanted something dramatic and stylized to go with the look of the dress, and mom was able to find the hat, gloves and microphone to give us some extra glamorous details. Love!
Stunning!
This quilt was made by Ashley's grandma—the colors are just gorgeous and I was excited to have the opportunity to incorporate it into Ashley's session.
So many seniors to blog, so little time! Kaitlin kicks off our senior blogging marathon (with a few dancers and babies in between) for the next week or so. She is a senior at Perry Lecompton High School and is simply beautiful. Here are a few of my favorites.
The girls that have been coming in for these specialty dance sessions have just been stunning. Like every single one of them! Gracie is a student at Ottawa High School and dances at Spotlight Dance Academy and is a photographer herself. She, by far, had the best reaction I've ever received at seeing our studio (that would be a squeal and complete joy at the plethora of backdrops and props, versus the normal, "wow, you have a lot of stuff" reaction that the room normally receives. ;) )
If you are a dancer, and are interested in experiencing one of our creative dancer sessions, give us a call here at the studio. Sessions are half-price for a limited time. 785.393.1958
I love this little family. They are the coolest people and I have had the pleasure of being their child and family photographer since Ainsley was first born, so for more than four years now. Unbelievable! The time has just flown by. And their new baby isn't such a baby anymore—she just turned 18 months old!
For her 18-month session we decided to take it outside and get some family shots. It was an interesting shoot—it almost sounds like the opening to joke—what do you get when you take a toddler, a four-year-old and two adults and throw in 100+ degree heat, wildly changing light circumstances and thousands of mosquitos and daddy long leg spiders?
Well, this.
This is my favorite family shot by far. Gorgeous!
I love this next shot too. My flash misfired, so it's not as crispy as I would like, but I couldn't give it up. Look at Evelyn's face—I love it when babies laugh! :)
Yet another stunning dancer from Spotlight Dance Academy. This girl is crazy strong, yet graceful, and was an absolute joy to work with.
Want to get your creative dance session scheduled with The Crystal Image? Give us a call—dance sessions are half price through October. Whoo hoo! 785.393.1958
I don't even know what to say about this move, except wow! Oh, and you should have seen my assistant attempting this move—I wish I had pictures of that! It was pretty entertaining.
Kaitlyn and her family drove all the way up to Lawrence from McKinney, Texas for her senior portrait experience with The Crystal Image. I can't even tell you how humbling that is! We had selected Kaitlyn's session date months and months ago so it was crazy how quickly the date seemed to arrive! We were blessed with cooperative weather for her session so I was super excited that we were able to work in all of the ideas we had discussed. And she has some amazing images! At least, I think so! Here is just a sampling of my favorites.
Enjoy!
Have I mentioned how much fun I have been having working with these dancers? They have all been sooooo amazing to work with and it has been awesome to have the creative freedom to try out new ideas with a cooperative subject (for some reason those two-year-olds just seem to have their own ideas of what we will be doing during their session. ;) Heehee.).
Kaitlin is a senior at Ottawa High School and has been dancing since she was super young. Not only is she a great dancer (she dances with Spotlight Dance Academy), but she's gorgeous as well. Here are just a handful of my favorites from her session.
Enjoy!
Sigh. I love this one. Simply stunning.
And this one.
