Haley T. | KHS Senior

She is fierce, fabulous, and funny! Haley and I met at the Prism Dance earlier this year and I just thought she would make a great model for my high school senior portfolio.

Here are some of my favorite shots and the link to her slideshow.

Cristal H. | Knox Co. HS Senior

What a trooper! Cristal and I were determined to not let the rain put a damper on her senior session. I was a little worried that she would not want to get her hair wet but that was not the case. For the most part it was just misting. But toward the end of our session, the rain drops started getting a little bigger.

Thanks to the "Glam Squad" at Color Me Red for hair and make-up!

Cohen Kelsey | KHS Senior

Okay so if you really know me you know how crazy I am about horses. I don't have one....yet but that's only a matter of time...and a fence.

Cohen was cool, calm, and collected just like a professional model!
Thanks Cohen and Melani for giving me the chance to do what I love.

Ali Pipta

We were ecstatic to say the least when Ali Pipta arrived at our studio. She was tall, thin, and wore a beautiful smile! She could totally be on America's Next Top Model.

Chrissy did her hair and make-up while I planned out our sets and wardrobe. The week before our session, I stopped into Hidden Treasure and I found this cute black and white dress with the tags still attached. It was on sale. So, I decided to buy it. I figured I would find someone to wear it. Well, when Ali arrived I just knew the dress was perfect for her...and it was.

The dress fit her like a well made leather glove. So, after our session I decided the dress would serve me no purpose...so I gave it to her! It was the greatest feeling ever!

A big thanks to her dad Joe for being such a trooper and hanging out with us for 3 hours! You're a super dad Joe!

Friendly Friends

I am so lucky to have such good friends! Chrissy Hunt came out to the Studio to do hair and make-up for one of our senior sessions. But before she left, I got her to pose for me too!

I wanted Chrissy's make-up to be over-the-top and I wanted her eyes very smokey.
"Oh, you want me to look like a whore," she said. I laughed till I cried. She said it with such a straight face! I said, "No, I want you to look high fashion!" I think we landed somewhere in between.

Then our friends Logan and Dustin came over to watch a movie...but before the big show...I had them pose too!

Here are some of my favorite shots of my favorite friends! Thanks guys and gal! Your the best.

Dillon Poston

Dillon loves his trucks! So he wanted to make sure they were a part of his senior session. Our good friend Betsy Bulkley actually took most of his senior pictures...but his red truck was out of commission that day. So, once he got her running again...his mother asked me to step in for Betsy now that she's moved to Utah.

Get this, Dillon actually bought the truck from our best friend Lee O'Brien a few years ago. So, we headed out to Lee's land.

Matthew McCarty

I hope all my senior sessions will be as fun as Matthew's session. He was charismatic, charming, and a goofball! I've never met someone who can smile on command and it look so real.

Our session started in downtown Kirksville, we hit the lake, then the baseball and football fields for his sports shots.

Get this, Matthew's mother Lynn works with our friend Tabitha Heddinger at Northeast Missouri State Bank. That's where John banks. John and Tabitha go way back. In fact, when John was a senior at Brashear, he used to serve breakfast to Tabitha and all the other kindergartners! I know, I know, John holds up pretty good for his age! Hahahahah.
