Shelby - Senior Album

I thought since I just posted Annie’s senior album it would be good to post another senior album with a different design style in order to showcase a bit of a variety.  I posted quite a few of Shelby’s pictures in the past so these may look familiar to some of you.  It is always fun to see how they come together in an album.  The pages follow accordingly:

Oh how time flies!

I had the opportunity to do Annie’s senior photos late last summer.  I can’t believe she is a Senior this year.  I’ve known her for about 8 years now.  That means she was only 10 years old when I met her (that is how old my oldest son is now!)  I’ve never lived anywhere as long as I’ve lived here in Kansas City so it is amazing to me to see such changes go by in the people that surround you.  When you live near them you often times don’t realize the change as it just gradually passes by over the years….and then all of sudden it is like “Woah, what happened?!”  Another 8 years and my own child will be graduating.  Man, time sure flies!  It reminds to keep embracing the moments, because they never happen again.

Annie is such a great person-smart, cute, very responsible, a good example to her peers, fun, a great baby-sitter (wish you were here to still do that for me), and she even helped me out on a few photoshoots.  I’m sad, though, because she no longer lives here.  Her dad got a new job out in Tennesse so she moved out there a couple of months ago.  We just got done putting her senior album together so I thought I would share it.  We had a lot of fun during her photoshoot and I think we got a great variety.  This will be printed as a 10×10 press-printed storybook album.  The first image you’ll see is the cover (front is the right side of image, and the back is the left of the image.)  The rest of the pages following accordingly.  With the exception of pages 1 and 20, the images show the full 2 page spreads you would see in the album when having it open.  I wish you all the best on your new adventures, Annie.  I know you’ll do great!

Growing Up

Well, after a much needed Holiday break I’m back in the saddle again.  I’m so grateful that this last year was such a busy year for me–thank you to everyone I’ve had the opportunity to photograph.  I wish I had the time last year to blog more about my work so this year I’ve made it a high priority to commit some more time to this blog, to share more about me and my work and all the wonderful and inspiring people I meet!  I’d like to take some time this month to share some of last years work and to start off with I’d thought I’d post some pictures of Harper.  Almost one year ago I shared some of Harper’s newborn pictures here.  Now look how much she has grown up. 

Here she is at 3 months:

 

And 6 months:

I love just love this next shot!

And these are from her most recent session at 9 months:

This last shot is one of my favorites.  The mom emailed me and said it looks like Harper is putting a star on a Christmas tree in this shot (this was taken in December too).  Of coarse it wasn’t planned and that is what I love the most about it.  It was a happy suprise!  It couldn’t have turned out more perfect if it were planned.
