Gabby & Alyssia's Christmas Portraits

Gabby & Alyssia's outfits went perfect with my new Modern Vintage Background.  To keep Alyssia's attention off of the camera we had a couple prepared setups.  We started off with two small red booklets that lasted a short time. Then a setup that included two gift bags for them to discover the contents, then the last setup was sort of like a tea party except we used cold tea and Christmas mugs.  We will be designing a Christmas greeting card with the portraits from this session. My favorites from the session are listed below for your viewing pleasure....

Cameron's 8th Grade Graduate Portraits

Cameron loves the outdoors and it sure showed in the portraits we took last weekend.  I couldn't believe he was able to climb up on a limb that was much taller than him.  I took the pic as fast as I could as it made me (and his mom) nervous seeing him out on the limb!  Made for a pretty cool shot though!  I encourage my customers to mainly wear solid colors.  It makes for a better portrait as the clothing doesn't overpower the person in the portrait and that is quite evident in the last ones displayed here in his white shirt.  I just love this last shot of him below.  I have included my favorites of his session.  Enjoy!  :)

A cool, calm, and collective 2013 senior guy

We provide each high school senior that we photograph with a questionnaire called "Tell Your Story."  In it, we ask them questions about themselves so we can get to know them.  The last question is, What would you like your portraits to say about you?  David answered with, "that I am a cool, calm, and collective guy."  I would say that we managed to get that look from the portraits of David that we took today. I have included my favorites from the outdoor session for your viewing pleasure.... :)

Lovely Autumn Portraits of Two Sisters

Gabby and Alyssia were a pleasure to photograph in the lovely fall colors.  Alyssia wasn't in a picture mood so we had to move fast!  While returning back from the pasture, we noticed the pretty yellow and lavender wildflowers so we jumped out of the truck to get some shots of them walking up the trail.  They were my favorites along with others that I have included for your viewing pleasure.  Enjoy!!! :)

Gorgeous Fall Portraits of Four Children

You couldn't have asked for a better day for some beautiful fall portraits!  No wind and the fall colors were at their peak.  This 45-minute session was in four different locations on our property, so we took our Ford truck to haul the pumpkins, straw bale and our clients.  After doing the group shots, we did individual shots and then finished the session with the two blondes and two brunettes portraits.   I so enjoyed this session with this client who is a regular customer. She always dresses her children in lovely colors.  I have included my favorites from this session for your viewing pleasure.... :)

Makayla & Madelyn in the yellow wildflowers

This session was a rush job for a family needing a framed canvas family portrait within a week for their pastoral installation service in Wichita.  After we finished with the family poses, we photographed the girls in several cute outfits before heading outside for shots in the wildflowers.  I knew that this was going to be an easy session because when little Madelyn arrived, she asked me right away what the donkey's name was! :)  The shots below with the horses were not planned and turned out to be the most adorable portraits ever!!!  I've included my favorites from their indoor and outdoor session for your viewing pleasure.  Their family portrait is available for viewing in the photo gallery on our website.
