Alisha was the third and final senior session of the weekend. While the weather was a little more cooperative than it was on Saturday, by the end of the afternoon we all left the shoot with numb fingers. An artist in more than one sense, Alisha shared with us her amazing talents on both the guitar and on canvas. Alisha's love for black and white photos and artistic flair inspired us to expand our horizons a little with our post-processing (you'll see more of these later, Alisha - I'm saving some of our favorites for your viewing session). Thanks again for sharing your afternoon with us!

Last Saturday, despite the frigid weather, we loaded up the car with outfits and cameras and took a "trip" to downtown KC and Westport for a dual senior session with Ashley and Codi (sorry girls, I couldn't resist). New winter coats and 'Libby Lou' gloves helped the freezing weather become more bearable - too bad everyone couldn't share my appreciation for fingerless gloves. Braving the cold proved to pay off, though. Between several trips to the car to keep us thawed, we managed to get some really fun shots. Enjoy the sneak peak, girls!

We've covered a lot of expressions in this blog, but maybe never have we seen more love in one posting. Anyone who knows the Coulters would agree with us when we say that they are a great example to everyone of what a loving family is. Just spending the afternoon with them, we were able to see the love shared between the parents and kids; we are truly lucky to have had the opportunity to share this experience with them. Thanks, guys...we had a blast!

For some reason, we've shot a lot more girls than guys this year, but we're proud to showcase our first of the Class of 2009. Taylor came to us through his girlfriend, Kaila, who you've seen here before (and will again). Taylor was obviously proud of her, but as a member of our state champion Wildcats, he was also proud of his rings.

We had a blast during this photoshoot of brother and sister duo Laelle and Triston. Perfectly coordinated outfits, new shoes, and perfect smiles made shooting this session a breeze. We were lucky enough to be blessed with a beautiful fall day and by the end of the shoot, with cheeks sore from smiling, we squeezed in a few last shots as the golden light shined through the leaves before heading home for the evening. Here are a few of our favorites:

Okay, we got a little silly with that last post (although I think they really liked it). Today, we've got Jennifer, our most recent senior. We had a blast with Jennifer and her dog, Gater. She did present us with one of our biggest challenges yet...trying to incorporate a large part of her even larger t-shirt collection. Thanks for sharing your senior portrait experience with us, Jennifer...we hope you enjoy your preview!

We had the pleasure of shooting the Maxwell family this past weekend as the first of our family sessions in October. While we did take the typical structured family and individual poses, we wanted to show something a little more entertaining. Thankfully, they cooperated. From a really fun family, here are some really fun pictures:
