This guy had the most gorgeous day for his senior session—in the middle of November! Kansas weather is so whack.

Here are a few of my favorites from Liam's Senior Plus session.

This little guy turns five today! Happy birthday Will!

He was still a toddler the last time I took his pictures and now he is a big five year old (insert crying face here). It just goes by so fast! (I know his mom and dad would agree.) Will has always had the best hair ever and this session was no different. He is always so much fun to work with and mom and dad make it a breeze.

Here are just a handful of my favorites. Hopefully they give you a glimpse into Will's amazing personality. <3

Can you believe it's already mid-November? I can't. I keep telling people that we have plenty of time to get their holiday cards designed, because in my mind it's still September! I guess I should get to work on those holiday cards, eh?

So Lou is our featured senior for today. He ended up with a borderline dark and somewhat cold day, but thanks to my equipment, we were able to make it work (my lights have saved the day many a time). He is also a wrestler, so we headed to the school for some shots too. Let me know which are your favorites!

Oh, and does he remind you of Kevin from This is Us? Cause he totally reminds me of Kevin.

Here are a few of my favorites from his Beyond Studio session. Enjoy!

So ChillFest is a group of guys that have been buddies since middle school. I've been told they post funny videos and I know from Lou's session that they have a group T-shirt and jewelry. We, of course, had to do some images highlighting the group. So funny!

This is Lou looking to the future.

This baby is delicious. Look at that grin in the first image! She was the sweetest little girl and I was so excited to meet her and get to take her newborn images, especially since I've know her parents since they were much, much younger. I think the last time I took her mama's pictures she was around seven and I've taken senior and family pictures on her dad's side for years, so it was so exciting to get to capture sweet Gwendolyn during her first few weeks in the world. <3

The first few images show one of my new newborn backdrops—isn't it gorgeous? It was perfect for Gwendolyn's first professional images.

And here are a few with mom and dad. They are such pretty people. :)

I know I've said it before, but I will say it again—I LOVE working with high school seniors. I love learning about their personalities and interests—and then working with them to create imagery that they will love (and that shows them how gorgeous they really are).

Bre is beautiful and spunky so she wanted something a little more grungy for the outdoor portion of her session. I think the colors complement her nicely. And these are just a handful of my favorites!

{ fatima—2020 eudora hs senior }

Look at this girl—she is stunning! And smart and kind too (which are more important, in my book). I had a blast working with Fatima and her mama for her recent Beyond Studio senior session. We had a great day for shooting (after having to reschedule due to rain and dreariness earlier in the month), and I know they are going to love her images.

Here are a few of my favorites. Leave a little love in the comments if you are enjoying our senior sneak peeks.

Thanks!
