ingrid – wamego high senior

I had an incredible time recently working with Ingrid, a wonderful young woman attending Wamego High School. She’s not from around here, or anywhere near here, actually. You see, she’s here for a year from a small town in Norway whose name I can’t even pronounce. :)

Ingrid, her host mom, and I had a great time out in Manhattan at City Park, finding some great spots around the new pavilion they just finished, making use of what little autumn foliage was still left. After playing around there, we drove off to find a patch of tall grass out in the sun and then finished up at under the highway bridge by the river.

We had such an amazing time I had a really hard time narrowing down her selection! Here are just a few of the images from her session:

One of my favorites, out behind the pavilion, by the massive air conditioning and heating units they have out back:

Check her out, straight killing it!

Ingrid might have been a little nervous when we got started, but before long, she was working it like a freaking model!

Wow!

I recently heard that some magazine somewhere did a study and concluded that the most beautiful people in the world lived in Norway. While I can’t vouch for the validity of the study, I can say that Ingrid represents her country well. She’s smart, happy, beautiful, and ready to face the world. Unfortunately, under the Norwegian school system, Ingrid will have one more year of school when she gets back, so Ingrid, enjoy being a senior twice!

All the best to you, Ingrid, and good luck in what schooling you have left!

mayabeth – whs senior portraits

I just love working with high school seniors! They’re at a very special time in their lives, when the world is before them and all options are open. They’re hopeful and confident, yet still in the process of turning into the adults they will soon become. Most of all, they’re a lot of fun to shoot!

I had the pleasure of working with Mayabeth, a senior from Wamego High, and let me tell you, this young woman is busy! She runs cross country, plays basketball, volunteers at the elementary school, and to top it all off, was recently chosen to be the Homecoming Queen!

On a day that started out cold, cloudy, windy, and 48F (before wind chill), we went out to a local lake in the afternoon and found incredible blue skies and gorgeous temperatures.

Is it wrong to start a blog post with one of my very favorites from the session?

We really couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day in mid-October! So yeah, we had some fun. :)

After hanging around the lake for a while, we hopped back in our cars and went over to the campus at KSU to get a few more in a more urban setting.

As the light started to fade, we headed over to the old stadium there on campus to get make some images of Mayabeth in her cross country uniform and spikes.

She has been hitting the weights for a few years now and wanted to make sure we documented the progress. Check out those guns!

Good luck choosing a college, Mayabeth, and in all your future endeavors!
