Ryan - Senior

We love senior sessions!  Ryan is a senior at Triad High School, in Troy, IL.  We did his session at Lafayette Park on what was yet another gloomy day.  We’ve gotten used to shooting with very little natural light lately.  Oh well, it worked out well actually!  Ryan was cool with trying whatever, so we did.  Did I mention we love senior sessions?

Ryan shares my love of all things theater, so we thought we would try some different, dramatic lighting for some of his shots.

Thanks Ryan!  We had fun!

Beehn - Family

This is the Beehn Family - Leah, Shannon and little Taylor.  We did their session on a late-fall evening at Laumeier Sculpture Park.  We shot Leah and Shannon’s wedding a couple years ago, and now we got to meet Taylor!  I think Taylor was more interested in playing with sticks and eating cookies than taking pictures, but no biggie!  We captured him in action.

Johnson - Family

This is the Johnson Family - Stephanie, Jimmy and Kiley.  We did their session on Jimmy's family's farm, and as you can see, we included a couple of the family's ponies into the session.  We photographed Stephanie and Jimmy's wedding a few years ago, and it's so fun to see how their family has grown.  I've gone to Stephanie for years to have my hair done, and I always get to hear about how big Kiley is getting.  Kiley is a HAM.  She showed us all around the farm, her ponies and her dance moves!

Here comes Honey...

...Honey is like a puppy!  She follows everyone around, craving lots of petting and attention.

Kelly and Noah - Engagement

This is Kelly and Noah.  We did their session in Downtown Kirkwood and Kirkwood Park.  Kelly and Noah just moved to Kirkwood this year (they actually live very close to us!), so it seemed appropriate to shoot their session where they live their lives from day to day.  We got to include their dogs, Cona and Ollie, in on the fun as well.

Cona and Ollie did such a goof job!
