Angie Larkin and Trevor Wooten's Wedding Day

Angie and Trevor were married October 9, 2009 in a beautiful ceremony at the Bartlett Arboretum in Belle Plaine. I had met Trevor a couple of years ago when I photographed his sister Erin's wedding. The Arboretum was a little wet from all of the rain we had the day before, but actually the weather couldn't have been more perfect on the 9th. A small group of about 75 relatives and close friends attended the ceremony. There were 9, yes I said 9 little flowergirls that were all age 7 and under. They stole the show in their little white tutu's and feather hairpieces. A large reception with about 300 guests was held the next evening, October 10th at The Courtyard by Mariott down in Old Town. All 9 flowergirls were right there dancing on the dance floor with everyone else! Congratulations Angie and Trevor!

Mollye Margheim's Senior Portraits

Mollye's mom and I talked back and forth on the phone several times the day of her session. The forecast was dismal, but it kept seeming like maybe a shoot was possible. We finally decided to wait, but Mollye had her heart set on doing it that day (not to mention both of our busy schedules trying to fit it in another day). Anyway, it turned out to be a good decision. The little breeze was perfect to have her hair blowing in some of the images, and the cloud cover was perfect to not have to deal with shadows!
Glad we went for it, Mollye!

Jessica Kaufman's Senior Portraits

Jessica Kaufman was a blast to work with. I had photographed her sister, Jennifer, and her mom had said they would be different! Well, I found them to both be sweet girls and equally beautiful!
Here's a sneak peek of her session!

Keri Brush's Senior Portraits

Keri is my only senior so far this year from Heights. I met with her and her mom, Sid, last week on Monday. It was so windy the first 3 days of last week so I was certainly happy when we were able to make it work! Keri had very cute clothes, scarves, and of course, her letter jacket. I've edited a few for you to see, Keri! The rest is forthcoming.

Christianna Ortiz' Senior Portraits

Christianna and I were beginning to think we were never going to get our session done! Weather caused postponement more than once. Even last week when she came to town in the morning, it was looking like it would be too cloudy and cold. But, by afternoon the weather decided to cooperate and we had a dynamite shoot. She's soooo pretty and looks like a model!

Ellen Bergkamp's Senior Portraits

I recently went out to Ellen Bergkamp's home for her senior portraits. What a beautiful place! The house had a wrap-around front porch, swing, and more! It was a little muddy from the recent rains but that didn't stop us from getting a few shots with her horse (even though his mane wasn't totally cooperating)! I loved this rustic setting and Ellen is such a beautiful girl.

Sarah, Brent, & Braeden Dugan

I had the privilege of photographing Sarah and Brent's wedding last year, and was so excited when Sarah and Brent brought their sweet little baby Braeden in last week for his first studio pictures. I was amazed, at only a few weeks old, how very alert and strong he was! We had a great time and I look forward to photographing him more as he grows and changes.

Amy Jo Maphet's Senior Portraits

Amy Jo and her mom came to Wichita from Pratt for our photo session. Amy is a friend of Spencer Suderman, another one of my seniors that appeared on my latest ad piece. We managed to find a few fall leaves but were actually about a week too soon for alot of color, but Amy Jo had lots of bright colorful clothes to feature.
In the studio, she had a fun black & white dress with hot pink heels, and her many medals and basketball to finish up the session. It was lots of fun! I hope your evening in Wichita afterward was fun too!

Paige Slayton's Senior Portraits

I had a great time with Paige! She had a great variety of clothes and was a perfect model for both serious and smiling pictures. Thanks so much for choosing Marcia Morrison Photography Paige! It was a blast!

Jake Rakestraw's Senior Portraits

Jake met me down in Old Town with his mom and sister. Dad Travis met us awhile later. Jake was definately into football and his truck. He just beamed when I was photographing him with either of them. He was great to work with. I hope you like this sneak peek Jake!

Braydon Willard's Portraits

Braydon is Emma's cousin and came along for her photo shoot. As I mentioned before, Miss Emma had a tooth coming in and was a bit cranky. We asked Braydon to be in the photo hoping to get Emma to join in, and ended up with some adorable pictures of him, by accident!

Lindsay and JD's Wedding Day

Wow what a great wedding and fun day we had with Lindsay and JD! They were both so relaxed and happy. It was special that JD's daughters Madeline and Sophia were candelighters and readers, but make no mistake...it was flowergirls Emma and Keaton that stole the show! Keaton was quite a little photographer herself! After the ceremony, we had fun in the park and the reception at the Hyatt was beautiful with delicious food, dancing, and a special treat of JD singing to Lindsay.

Noodle's Portrait

This afternoon I had the pleasure of photographing Gail Kelly's little dog "Noodle". She's a very pretty little lady and did everything we asked as long as a treat was forthcoming every 5 seconds!

Emma Willard's fun pictures!

This was our 2nd session for Emma. Turns out she was cutting a tooth and a little cranky last week. Today was MUCH better! She had 2 of her cousin's along to keep her laughing, and the sucker was a sure winner! Isn't she precious?

Brian Hansen's Senior Portraits

Brian and I met earlier this week in Old Town. His mom Terri, joined us with their 2dogs. Tally is a beautiful Australian Shepherd and Eddy is a Border Collie. They are two very smart dogs and didn't let anything get by them! They were quite distracted by all of the action in the park, but Terri saved the day with her bag of treats! I enjoyed working with Brian. And, he's even a photo buff himself.

Amanda Fayette's Senior Portraits

I was excited to photograph Amanda at Botanica. There are so many beautiful fall flowers in bloom right now. Amanda is a natural beauty and looked fabulous no matter what I asked her to do! After Botanica, we went to Naftzger Park, the sunflower fields, and the studio. Amanda is a cheerleader at Maize so we definately wanted to get a shot of her with all of her pom poms and uniforms throughout high school. Wow Amanda, I can't wait to edit all of your session! Here's a sneak peak!

Sydney Madison's Senior Portraits

It was a little breezy the day I got together with Sydney Madison and her mom for senior portraits. She had so many great outfits and I wanted to shoot some in all of them! We started at Old Town, then went a couple more places including the studio. We finished up with her in my favorite color - purple! A really cute one-shoulder top that photographed great with the sunflowers and white backdrop of the studio!

Mariah Knotts' Senior Portraits

Mariah met me in Old Town with her sweet little dog Dolly. I also got to meet both Mom and Dad. We had a great time trying to get Mariah's bangs and Dolly to do the right thing at the same time! We took the easy way out and fixed the bangs with a little hair spray so we could focus on getting Dolly to look at the camera. After all, there are alot of distractions for any dog down in Old Town. Mariah had great clothes, jewelry, and shoes. All of her outfits were very put-together! We barely made it to the sunflower fields to capture a few with the natural sun lighting her face in warm hues before going to the studio to top it off with her cute little print dress with bright red flowers. Thanks for the great time!
