this girl...
really likes the "country/farm" look...and good thing!! she grew up visiting her grandparents in independence, kansas on the farm her mother grew up on.
lucky for her, i know plenty of locations for such a look.
i really wanted these photos to show lexie's happy, fun-lovin' spirit...so i was glad she brought her cousin & mother along to make her laugh. (i encourage everyone on a portrait shoot to bring one person with that can make you genuinely smile & laugh. it just adds so much life & realness to the photos that last a lifetime.)

...i still got some precious images of this precious child.

spencer trey.

this boy...

had me come clear out to o'fallon, missouri to take his senior portraits. :)

we took some at lindenwood university, (where he had photos taken of him as a child,) and some in downtown st. charles.

i will tell you...i had more outrageously, silly pictures of him than "regular, nice" ones. (one day i will surprise everyone and make a post of the outtakes from their shoots. get ready.)

jonathan.

this man...

was wanting a portrait he could use on his church's website.

he wanted it to encompass his laidback approach and outdoorsy nature.

he also expressed his keenness for the "instagram"-feel. i tried to accommodate.

cole daniel.

this boy...

was very dedicated to his high school football team. (and appropriately so, was highly recognized for his abilities and accomplishments.)

...so he wanted to incorporate that feel into his senior photos.

quincy lynn.

this girl...

came all the way from phoenix, arizona to have me shoot her senior portraits. ;)

she wanted her senior photos to have some kansas-aspects. (as well as some arizona-aspects that she got from a local photographer "back home"...)

-so we got some grass, trees, and train tracks in there for her.
