Downtown Kansas City | Holcomb High School Senior

When Julissa first reached out to me about doing her senior pictures I was floored. It’s not every day that someone drives 5-6 hours to book a session. She and her family drove all the way from Holcomb near Garden City, Kansas. It was a huge compliment that she would be willing to come that far for my services. She had limited time in town so we hoped and prayed the weather would cooperate! She braved the cold weather and powered through so we could get some stunning images for her senior pictures. She’s a natural!

Julissa is about to graduate for Holcomb High school this coming week. We were able to fit in her session just in time! I was so impressed by her during her session. I got to talk to her about her plans after high school. This girl is not scared of hard work and I think she is going to rock it. Good luck and congratulations on your graduation, Julissa!

For those of you in that area, I will be planning a trip to Garden City and Scott City Kansas this fall if you are interested in booking family photos or senior sessions. Join my email list so you don’t miss out on those travel dates. I may add more dates depending on interest so please message me if you know you want to book.

Don’t forget to sign up on my email list to get updates on travel dates to western, Kansas if you are interested in booking a session!

Maggie's Senior Pictures | Olathe Kansas Photographer

I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing this beautiful girl for her senior pictures. It’s starting to get cold around here now that it’s November but worked through the cold to get her some beautiful images to celebrate her upcoming graduation from Shawnee Mission Northwest. The sunset was beautiful this evening and I absolutely love how her outfit mimicked the colors of the sky towards the end.

Best Friend Photoshoot | Olathe Senior Photographer

"Jamming out to music and cracking jokes in the car is always a good time. Really any time with each other is a good time."

This is what the girls told me when I asked them what their favorite thing was to do together. To me this response shows what a great friendship they truly have. It doesn't matter where they are or what they are doing. As long as they are together they know they will have fun. So of course we spent the entire hour laughing together as we enjoyed the beautiful weather.

When these two Olathe North High School seniors told me the wanted to do a photoshoot together before they head off to college I was so happy. As a high school senior photographer capturing these special moments between seniors and their friends or family members is one of my favorite parts of a session. These are the photos they will look back on and fondly remember all the wonderful times they had together senior year.

"I think my earliest memory of Rachel was when she was cut my hair when we were little" -Ellie

These three have been friends since before they could even walk and have grown up spending close to every day together. As we talked about some of their favorite memories together I loved hearing all the many stories they had of each other.

My advice to these young ladies is to continue to be present in each others lives. As you get older that may be harder and harder to do, but an 18 year friendship is worth holding on to!

If you are interested in doing a Best Friend Photoshoot with your closest friends I would love to work with you! Shoot me a message and we can start planning!
