Kyle Johnston's Senior Portraits

I met Kyle and his family in Naftzger Park for a family shoot/senior portrait shoot. After a few with the family, Kyle and I continued on with guitar and letter jacket in hand. After spending a while down in Old Town, we went to the studio to photograph him in his baseball uniform and a few casual shots. Hope you like what you see so far Kyle! Thanks for being so easy going!

Anna Wilson's Senior Portraits

I had the pleasure of working with Anna on a beautiful afternoon last week. She and her mom were fun and friendly. Anna had a great variety of outfits and we had fun scouting out some fun places to shoot. Her makeup was so pretty and accentuated those beautiful eyes she has. She even had her toenails painted to match the aqua/turquoise jacket but I'm not sure we really captured the tie-in! Oh well, it was fun trying!

Ellen Bergkamp's Senior Portraits

Ellen and her mom, Kathleen, were so laid back and easy to please! We had fun driving around Old Town alleys and finding perfect spots to photograph Ellen to compliment her great clothes! I decided to take advantage of the sun going down to take some shots in a field with the sun glistening on her hair. What fun! I can't wait for session 2!

Kayla Bailey's Senior Portraits

Kayla and her mom came all the way from Chanute for her photo session. Kayla is a beautiful sweet girl. That natural beauty made it very easy to do this session! Kayla and Amy, I hope you are pleased!

Ashley Murphy's Senior Portraits

I had a great time with Ashley. She included her boyfriend in a few of the pictures so her parents and his parents were there also.
We walked all around Old Town and the park. She has to be one of the easiest seniors I've photographed!

Ashley & Kevan's Wedding Day

I had a blast doing Ashley and Kevan's wedding last week. Kevan is hysterial and I love the way he makes Ashley smile! Ashley's very talented mom made her shoes, her gown hanger, bracelets for all of the girls, Ashleys purse, and more. They were beautiful and I was in awe. We loaded the trolley to go to Old Town and the little park there to take some group photos and fun photos. Then Ashley said she wanted to go walk in the fountains at Warren Square - before the wedding! I thought..."now this is a laid back bride"!!! We had a great time before returning to Petroleum Club for the ceremony & reception. Ashley's darling nephews Maverick and Gage drove a Cadillac Escalade down the aisle with the rings, and the couple exchanged wine instead of a more common unity candle. The evening was full of fun and enjoyed by everyone. The highlights included Kevan dancing with is 98 yr old grandma, and of course, also with his beautiful bride!

Sarah and Jerry's Wedding Day

It was perfect weather for Sarah and Jerry's wedding day. I was surprised to see the new wedding coordinator at St. Thomas is a former bride I photographed 10 years ago! After the ceremony, we stopped at Bradley Fair for a few more photos before going to the reception at Resurrection Catholic Church. Sarah was beautiful, the cake was very unique, and the sweet treats included chocolate covered strawberries!

Kirsten Chamberlin Senior Portraits

Kirsten and her mom came to the studio yesterday afternoon. She had several great outfits and a gorgeous prom gown! I couldn't resist photographing her in her gown with her basketball! We took a few minutes to go out to the sunflower fields before sunset, then back to the studio to finish Session 1. Can't wait for Session 2 in Old Town later this week!

Alex Kitterman

Taylor Huelsman's Studio Session

Taylor came to the studio for her 2nd senior session. She brought mom Ginette and Bella her tiny, precious dog. We had alot of fun with Bella, and I even took a few of Taylor & Bella with mom too!

Jennifer Butts and Jim Vincent Portrait Session

Since it was raining back in April on Jennifer and Jim's wedding day, we decided we would get together at Botanica sometime this summer to take some outdoor pictures. Well, we met there a couple of weeks ago and Botanica was beautiful. I got some great shots of this very sweet couple and really enjoyed the extra time I got to spend with them.

Alex Kitterman's Senior Portraits

Alex and her mom first came to my studio a couple of weeks ago. Alex had lots of ideas for outfits, locations, poses. After much discussion, we decided what locations were a must! Sunflowers, Grass & trees, Bradley Fair, and include Buddy, her dog. Wednesday we met to have the photo session. A little wind could have been the culprit of a re-schedule, but instead turned out to be an asset with Alex's long flowing hair. Buddy was more interested in sniffing out the new territory than having his picture taken, but he was a good sport. Alex is a beautiful girl & has beautiful clothes. I think I've met her vision of what her senior portraits would be. Can't wait for her to see them all.photography, seniors,

Courtney Seddon's Senior Portraits

Last night I photographed Jessica Krok, and today I photographed her best friend, Courtney Seddon! Courtney is full of energy and has a great outlook on life! We scouted around for new areas in Old Town. She had great outfits and accessories. We tangled a bit with one of her necklaces (was quite tangled), then she cheerfully gave in to wearing a different one. Courtney is a big fan of the Wingnuts, the Royals and the Angels. We weren't able to get into the Wingnuts stadium, so we went to my studio to shoot a few in her Angels jersey. Thanks for the fun time, Courtney!

Jessica Krok's Senior Portraits

Jessica came to my studio Sunday evening to start her senior session. After shooting there, we went to Bradley Fair. It was a beautiful evening and luckily, not very busy! Jessica is on the dance team at Derby High School but elected not to do any photos in her uniform. She had alot of great outfits though, and we had a great time together!
