More High School Seniors

It's back to school again and how lucky these seniors are that it is their last year of High School...the end is bitter-sweet! But it only gets better, right? Definitely.  

Meet Jimmy. I took his Senior pictures a little while back. When I pulled up next to his car in the parking lot of the photo shoot location he was face down on his car's steering wheel...sleeping. Yep, he was that excited about the photo shoot. It's kind of funny how boys and girls are different even when it comes to taking their picture. Girls could stick around all day with me and take pictures, the guys are usually more than ready to be done before we even start! But really, once we get going I can tell they kind of like getting their picture taken. :)

 putting out the vibe.

Happy senior year Jimmy!

These next photos are from a senior photo session back in May. Ken has since graduated and is off to culinary school!

 I had to do a little climbing during this session...the views were awesome, but I wanted to throw up... I get pretty nervous when it comes to heights. Growing up I couldn't even climb up our attic ladder, which was only like 6 steps. It's only after several minutes of pausing, a little shaking, feeling weak, heavy breathing, nausea and clenching to anything sturdy I can get my hands on that I (sometimes) will finally overpower my fear of heights and make it to the top! It's probably pretty hilarious watch.

A Walk In The Park...

...that's just how easy this sweet girl made it for me to capture such beauty! The pictures from Kody's senior  photo shoot turned out to be some of my most favorite...I had so many faves that the only way I could get myself to post them (because I knew it would be such a daunting and long task of having to pick my very favorites out) was to just go through and randomly select some. I had so much fun working with Kody, we could have taken pictures all day!

Kody's boyfriend was at the location doing some fishing so I called him over as he was leaving so I could snap a few pictures of them together. I loved her silly face she gave him...and the way he looked at her!

I'm a sucker for a good tree- trees may be becoming one of my signature shots.

Thanks to Kody and her mother, Mary! Good luck in your senior year of high school!

Three Little Girls and a Fountain

These little beauties were so much fun and so easy during the photo shoot! A bit of a funny story- I had just finished taking B's pictures (the girl just below) and had started taking the baby's pictures when the oldest of the three came running over and yelling "MOM, B. FELL IN!" a second later B comes running over soaking wet from neck to toe. The poor girl was playing by a fountain/pond and had fallen in! It was a fairly shallow pond and luckily she came out uninjured. Good thing I had already taken her pictures...and it's a good thing her mom has a sense of humor. I snapped this photo as her and her mom were walking away.
