Coralee: Senior Class 2010

This was such a fun session to photograph! I can’t begin to tell you how kind and sweet this girl is. She is beautiful in her outward appearance but her sweet demeanor and contagious laughter impressed me even more. Also, I am so lucky to call her Mom a friend of mine. We worked together over the years and yes, the workplace wasn’t always fun but being around Sandy always made the day brighter. She can *always* get me laughing. So I knew when we set out to photograph Coralee’s senior pictures together it was going to be a good time!

Check out the images we captured on our little “photo safari”.

You’d never guess the location of these next images. I had driven by the area many times and knew I wanted to photograph there. I just needed someone creative and fun like Coralee to see my vision. Happily she obliged and I’m so thankful.

This next area provided the perfect backdrop to accent the yellow in her attire. Flipping that hair and working it for the camera you can see her spirited personality shining through.

Look at those eyelashes! And that smile! Can you tell we had a good time that evening?

Thanks to you both Coralee and Sandy. As always, I was sad to see the sun set signaling the end of our shoot. I could continue to photograph all evening. Thanks for choosing me to document this exciting time in your life.

Kate: Senior Class 2010

This was a great session with tons of input from Kate. How great that my clients are involved and excited about the planning of their portraits. No better way to show their true self in these images taken at such an exciting time in their life. I remember my senior year of high school and all the opportunities I was looking forward to. Can’t believe it’s been over 10 years ago already.

I enjoyed getting to know Kate and her family while we took her pictures. She has a unique style that’s completely her. She wanted unique images that didn’t look like all the others. I enjoyed the challenge!

Kate came up with this frame idea when we first discussed her session. I immediately remembered this great, weathered frame I bought at an estate sale a couple years back. It has a worn, filigree texture that I adore and works great in this image.

Kate’s wardrobe choices were perfect for our shooting locale. We utilized some great spots in nature and the little downtown of Gretna, NE.

Look at these gorgeous eyes! I kept telling her throughout the session that her eyes were amazing and now she can finally see what I saw while looking through the camera.

Thanks for a fun and relaxing summer evening. The weather was ideal which is usually untrue for August. I’m definitely not complaining!

All my best to you Kate as you enjoy your senior year. Live in the moment and take all the opportunities that come your way. You’ll look back on this year with great memories.
