Wow, Miss Natalie!  Love her!  Natalie and her mom and I had soo much fun during her senior session last week.  Those girls are crazy fun and we had a great time tromping through the trails of Starrs Cave, hanging from the bridge, climbing on rocks, rummaging through wheat grass...etc, etc...!  We just laughed and laughed the entire time and I had so much fun!  It was tough narrowing our picks down so we can't wait for you to see the rest!

Take a peek at our favs!

Isn't she gorgeous?!

I LOVE this!  Love the colors, her expression and her hair!  It was tons of fun posing and playing around with her hair throughout the session!

What a cutie Maggie is!  Rachel and I had tons of fun photographing her session last week.  We took her with her guitar downtown on Washington Street in front of Cobblestone Classics next to Snake Alley and let her play her little heart out!  It was so fun! 

She had a stunning dress as part of her outfits and played in the street on Jefferson Street downtown.  It was fun capturing her personality in front of the old lamp posts and street signs. 

Maggie dreams of going to school in Nashville after graduation but is still pondering staying close to home.  She loves music and singing and would love creating lyrics for songs.  I think she looks the part pretty well from her pictures!

Thank you Maggie for letting us be a part of your senior year!  Take a peek at some of our favs!

Love it!

Matt was great to photograph!  He was such a trooper and did whatever we asked and he looked good modeling!  We incorporated his love of football into his senior portraits and we were able to go down to Bracewell Stadium where he just finished up his high school football career.  Maybe that's not such a bad thing, because this poor guy got banged around a bit on the field this year and suffered a concussion and hurt his shoulder. 

Matt, you're awesome!  Thanks for letting us be a part of your year!

What a beautiful and fun girl Kelsey is!  She was full of energy for her session and it was so much fun!  We took her through downtown Burlington to photograph against garages, a wheatfield and throughout some historical neighborhoods on the North side of Burlington.

Kelsey is a huge Cubs fan and came in with must be the cutest tee ever made for Cubs!  She covers second base for the Chargers and of course had to get her in her gear! 

We think she's beautiful, check out why!

I had the honor of photographing Cassie's senior portraits and getting to know her and her mother, Aleta better.  What a sweet family they are!  Rachel and I made a road trip with baby Belle to the Quad Cities to capture Cassie and her hometown, while Belle played with her Auntie Megan and cousins.

Cassie, I learned, is such a neat spirit, and was raised just to be so.  She dreams of attending Northwestern and has prioritized her high school years just for it.  I think it is so neat to see that much commitment and motivation from a teenager and I know that her drive now will take her far into her future. 

Rachel and I saw a side of the Quad Cities that neither of us had seen before!  We drove across bridges, back and forth between the cities to capture all sorts of different backgrounds and angles.  We explored the Village of East Davenport, photographed her in the church her father was a minister for, Two Rivers United Methodist, for some keepsake photographs, and other various shots in downtown Rock Island as well as downtown Davenport.  Whew!  And we still didn't cover all the territory!  But came pretty close.  We are so grateful to Cassie and Aleta for showing us their town and excited to shoot there again soon! 

Check out some of our favorites from her session!

How adorable is Lexi!  She was just the sweetest and it was so fun posing her, because everything we did with her looked cute!  She had some fun outfits and we had just enough leaves left to pop some color in her portraits.  She loves cheerleading and has just about every Hawkeye signature tee ever made, compliments of her mama! 

Check out why we loved Lexi so!

What a riot Travis was!  I think we laughed the entire session!  We had a blast photographing Travis both in the studio and out on location with his guitar.  If anyone is ever having a bad day, hang out with Travis, he'll turn it around in no time flat. 

Travis not only has a great sense of humor but also loves music, mostly country, but thats ok!  playing guitar, driving his sweet truck, he's into all sorts of various sports AND works the family business.  Busy guy!  I can't wait to photograph his on location session at his home too, see you soon Travis!

Check out our favs!

It's all about accessories...even for guys!

He always planned on working the family business, but I think he has second thoughts about professional modeling!  JK Travis, but we had fun!

Hannah was a duel Supermodel session!  Her outdoor session was rescheduled due to the wonderful rainy fall weather we had a couple of weeks ago...but it worked out wonderfully since last week was BEAUTIFUL!  I am getting spoiled working outdoors, because it is not usually this nice in November! Please, please stay this way for a couple more weeks?

Hannah is beautiful as you can see!  She has stunning eyes and gorgeous features, so naturally she was pretty easy to photograph!  Hannah goes to Mediapolis and is tossing around the idea of Law School or Psychology after she graduates this spring.  She was such a natural in front of the camera, I think she could even model throughout college for extra cash if she wanted to!

Check out our favorite images from her session.

Love this outdoorsy feel with her headband and field of cockaburrs...Lovely to photograph, not so lovely to get into...

Gorgeous girl!  This was photographed downtown against the stone church...works beautifully.

I love the light in this alley and the edgy look it portrays for her.  Great job Hannah!

Kaitlin is so nice and such a sweetie! She goes to Fort Madison High School and plans to possibly attend Iowa. She brought along tons of fun clothes and and a few of her favorite things to do; play sax and dance. Kaitlin has been dancing since she was 4 and loves ballet. We think she's beautiful, check her out and see why!

Love all her looks!
