Miss Alexa.

Beautiful and fun.   That sums up this sweet senior.  I had SO much fun hanging out with her!  She made it super easy to get some great shots.  We tromped through her pasture, hiked through the woods and balanced on fences.  Okay, SHE balanced on fences.  I’m not that coordinated.  HA!  Alexa had some GREAT outfits, too.  You may remember her from Part 1 of her senior session.   SO fun!

Miss Alexa:  Thank you, again, for choosing me to do your senior pictures!  I had a blast and hope you LOVE your sneak peek!!

XOXO,

Kelly

…and just because it’s fun…

Beauty.

Miss Morgan is filled with it, inside and out.  She is stunning to look at and incredibly sweet to talk to.  She and her mom have an amazing relationship and I just LOVE to see that.  It makes thinking about my own daughter’s teenage years a little less scary.  We spent the evening walking through the woods and fields and had absolutely beautiful weather for it!

Morgan:  Thank you SO much for choosing ME to take your senior pictures!  I had a great time with you and I hope you love your sneak peek!

XOXO,

Kelly

Loveliness.

This gorgeous young woman is full of loveliness.  From her sweet personality to her cute voice and the fact that she has no idea that she is STUNNING.  Her modesty is unreal.  She could have put a bag on and rocked it.  No joke.  She made my job so easy.  The weather, on the other hand, did not.  We had some warm, dreamy sunlight at the beginning of the session, but by the end, we were outrunning a very scary storm.  In a very short time, it became dark and the thunder and lightning were headed our way.  We flew and managed to get a TON of great shots in before a drop even fell.

To Katie:  Thank you so very much for asking me to do your senior pictures.  You are a true beauty and I had a great time with you!  I hope your senior year of high school is a blast.  Enjoy your sneak peek!

xoxo,

Stunning.

Yep.  She is.  Miss Paige is the twin sister of Madison from yesterday’s blog post.  Not only is she gorgeous, but apparently she is incredibly talented, as well.  Girl can jump.  HIGH.  She is a natural in front of the camera, too! She was up for anything and really made it easy.  :-)

Paige:  I had SUCH a great time doing your senior pictures!  I hope you love them all.  Thanks for choosing ME.  Enjoy your sneaky peek!

Beautiful.

I recently had the chance to photograph not one, but TWO amazing senior girls.  Twins, to be exact.  I’m sure, like any siblings, they have their moments, but for the time I was with them, they seemed to have a bond.  Maybe not a “hey, we’re bff’s and wear the same thing every day” kinda bond, but a very nice, comfortable bond.  I have always wished I had a sister, but now I want a TWIN sister!  HOW FUN!

Miss Madison is a stunningly beautiful, sweet, smart, athletic girl.   She has great taste in clothes, too!  She put up with me dragging her all over for the shots and still managed to smile.  Did I mention how cute she is?!  We spent a somewhat dreary morning together and it was awesome.  I had SUCH a great time with she and her sister both.

Madison:  Thank you SO much for choosing ME to do your senior pictures.  I had a blast and am so excited to get to editing all of your images!   Enjoy your sneak peek!

Gorgeous.

There really is no other way to describe this fun senior I had the chance to work with this week.  She is just…gorgeous.  Oh, and sweet and funny and talented.  Did I mention what an AWESOME relationship she has with her mom, too?  Yup!  They were SO cute together!  I love how they were sharing clothes, shoes and jewelry…reminds me a lot of my mom and I.  She came prepared with SO many great outfits and loads of accessories.  My kinda girl!!  Turns out she and I have a few things in common, too…we both showed horses!  It was so much fun chatting with her while we trekked from location to location.  We had an absolutely beautiful day for it, too.  The lighting was soooo nice.

To Alexa:  Thank you SO MUCH for choosing me to do your senior pictures.  I had a wonderful time with you and I look forward to seeing you again in the fall.  Enjoy your sneak peek!

XOXO,

Kelly

In need of some new family photos?  Some pictures of you and your significant other?  Are the photos of your little one(s) outdated?  I have a solution for you!

A friend, and fellow artist, is holding an auction this week for a wonderful cause.  She is the talent behind Ryah Sofia Headbands and has a personal reason for wanting to raise this money.  ALL the proceeds from the auction will go to The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.  I am proud to say that I have donated a FULL session and a disc with ALL  images!  Please check out the website and consider participating.  The link to the auction IS HERE.

Please, if you haven’t had your photos done in a while, consider this.  Some day you will be SO glad you have them to look back on, plus, it is all for a good cause.

Thank you!!

Ahhhh, Ryah Sofia.

I’m sure everyone already knows how much I LOVE Ryah Sofia’s appliqués for my daughter (and clients!), but I have been known to sport them, myself.  They are a nice little touch when I want to dress up my outfit slightly.  Well, they announced the release of their “basics” line (which is just fabulous!)  and, let me tell you, it’s perfect for adults, as well.  They offer three colors…brown, black and white…and two different styles for each color.  You still have the choice of using them as a clip or ordering the elastic or metal headbands for them, too.  I had the pleasure of working with a gorgeous model and getting some shots of the appliqués in action ;-)  Aren’t they beautiful?  Both the girl AND the hair pretties??  I think so.

Seniors!

Being a senior in high school is fun for many reasons.  You get to be done with High School.  You begin your new journey as a college student.  You start feeling like an ADULT.

One of the things that is not always super exciting is leaving behind a beloved extra-curricular activity.  That is exactly what these three phenomenal seniors are doing.  They are about to embark on an amazing journey, but they are also going to be leaving behind the fabulous Studio 83.  To say “good bye” to their wonderful dance instructor, they decided to come to KGP for a couple farewell pictures.  Miss Tessa was one of my seniors this year and SUCH a fantastic young lady.  You might remember her session HERE.  All three of these ladies put on top-notch performances at this year’s recital and then presented the picture to their instructor at the end of the show.  It was lovely!

To Miss T, G and S…I know you will miss Studio 83 dearly, but I KNOW you will all do fantastic things with your lives!  Best of luck in everything and hopefully we will see you next year in the Alumni dance ;-)

Congrats and good luck!!
