Ryan H. | 2010 Senior KHS

Ryan H. is a pretty mellow guy and didn't require much for his senior session but his skateboard and his guitar were a must.

For his first shot, I played around with some light filters. I knew his shirt and board were green, so I splashed some green light on the board to make it pop! I think it gave it a little something extra.

Here are some of my favorite shots.

Beau B. | 2010 Senior KHS

Beau B. is a wrestler for KHS and is in such good shape that his abs have abs! Ab-mazing!

Beau's grandfather passed away recently, and Beau had a tattoo in his honor placed on his shoulder blade. The black-and-white photo is a sample of what we call a fine art portrait.

Here are some of my favorite shots.

Nick Billington | 2010 Senior Novinger HS

Nick wasn't too thrilled about having his senior pictures taken...but after it was all said and done...he had good time!

Here are some of my favorite shots.

Jason I. | Senior 2010 Knox Co. HS

Jason wanted some shots in a swimming pool because, as a lifeguard, that's where he spends a lot of his free time.

Well, as luck would have it, the Kirksville Aquatic Center and the Kirksville Country Club had already drained their pools for winter. So, I scrambled at the last minute to find an outdoor in-ground pool.

John calls a friend of a friend of a friend, and behold we have a pool! Thanks Mary Jo Schwend for allowing us to use your pool and the Schwend kids for helping me pull back the pool cover.

Here are some of my favorite shots.

Brennen B. | Senior 2010 Kirksville HS

Brennen B. can be quiet and reserved...but when the shutter clicks, his charm is easy to find.
Brennen loves airplanes, so we headed out to the airport for a few shots. We also worked late for some nighttime shots around downtown.

Here are some of my favorite shots.

Whitney P. | 2010 KHS Senior

Whitney P. is beautiful, sweet, and drop-dead gorgeous. During her senior session, there were times I caught myself taking a double look at her because she looked like a life-size Barbie doll!

Here are some of my favorite shots.

Emma C. | KHS Senior 2010

"I want something really different." We hear this from our high school seniors all the time about their portraits.

Well, we pride ourselves in giving our seniors what they want...so long as it's safe. One time I had a senior ask me to have a pipe bomb explode in the background. "Ummmmm....how about a fog machine instead," I said.

Emma had two cheerleading outfits that she wanted in one picture. But instead of just hanging them in the background or laying them on the floor...we decided to put her in them and photoshop the two images into one.

Here are some of my favorites from her session.

Katie S. | 2010 Schuyler Co. Senior

Sweet and sassy...that's Katie S.

For me, it's such a reward to see my senior clients get excited about the pictures I show them on the back of the camera. It's sort of like a guiding light to make sure they like what they see when it comes time to pick up their proofs.

My ears are still ringing from the high-pitched scream Katie released when she saw the first image below.

Here are some of my favorites.

Aby T. | 2010 Kirksville High Senior

Sweeter than apple pie, Aby's eyes are dark, mysterious, and beautiful! Thanks Aby for being such a trooper in the hot weather!

Here are some of my favforite shots.

Tyler H. | 2010 Kirksville HS Senior

Simple and laid back...that's what Tyler H. was looking for in his senior pictures.

Here are some of my favorite shots.
