Holly :: Senior 2012

A beautiful day in Kansas always deserves a trip to Somerset Ridge Vineyard and Winery.

A gorgeous senior deserves a session in a beautiful vineyard.

I was in luck last Sunday.  It was a beautiful day, I had a gorgeous senior, and her parents are the owners of Somerset Ridge.

Meet Holly.

I have no idea whose dog this is, but he was friendly enough and wanted to be a part of our shoot.  :)

Gorgeous Ladies!

Holly, it was a pleasure hanging out with you last Sunday, and a ton of fun shooting your senior pictures!  I can't wait to hear about the places you'll go, and the things you will do!

Be sure to CLICK HERE for a slidshow from this session!

Kathryn :: Senior 2010

Meet Kathryn.

I had the opportunity to photograph Kathryn for her senior pictures a couple of weekends ago in Minnesota.  

The weather was gorgeous, as was Kathryn!  She's beautiful inside and out.

Kathryn, thank you for trusting me with these images!  What an amazing opportunity to be a part of this season in your life.  You have a remarkable future ahead of you!

Hannah :: Senior 2011

I have known Hannah, and her family for years.  I met them back in 2003 (I think) through the Children's Center for the Visually Impaired.  Hannah's brother, Mitchell, was born with cerebral palsy, and had attended the school through kindergarten.  For a couple of years, I had the opportunity of working with Mitchell, and providing home care assistance for his family.  I loved the time I spent with Mitchell and his family... I was even able to dance with Mitchell at my wedding.

Hannah is an amazing sister, daughter, and friend.  She loves her family, especially her brother with all her heart.  In fact, she even wrote a book about her brother after he was born.

It had been awhile since I had seen the family when I was asked to shoot Hannah's senior pictures.  When I showed up at their home, I was blown away by the beautiful woman Hannah had become, and was even more amazed at the deep voice that Mitchell had developed as he now prepares to enter high school  :)

I was so honored to be able to document this special moment in Hannah's life.  She has such a sweet spirit, and a kind and generous heart.  She loves to volunteer her time as well, and is always finding ways to help out and give back.

Hannah, thank you so much for trusting me with this!  I feel so honored, and absolutely loved it!  I pray the very best for you as you enter into this new season in your life!

Victoria Danielle :: Senior 2010

Yesterday, I had the wonderful opportunity to shoot a senior session for Danielle.  I met Danielle years ago when she was only a child, and now she's all grown up and beginning her senior year.  I'm not sure I like how fast time has flown by.  Danielle's mom also catered Paul and I's wedding.  She did a fabulous job, and now supports her husband and his ministry, Full Circle Ministry.  The weather was absolutely gorgeous!... Especially for August!  

I love this next image... hands down one of my favorites!

I love her eyes.... they are simply stunning!

Okay, this is my favorite as well!

Danielle's friend, Rachel, tagged along with us, and helped me out with my equipment.  I shot a few images of her and Danielle along the way.

There's no doubt that these two are good friends.  Thanks for you help, Rachel!

We took some time out for a little trampoline fun :)

Danielle's brother, Ethan, joined us for this last image.

Danielle, thank you trusting me with your images, I am truly honored!  I wish you all the best in your senior year!
