Seniors 2010 – The fun begins! {Kansas high school senior photographer}
Meet Reed. The first of my 2010 high school senior reps to appear on the blog. I love photographing high school seniors just as much as I love the little ones and this session was no exception. And I’m so glad to be adding more boys to the gallery!
Could he get any more All-American?! In addition to being so handsome, he’s on the football team, loves his mom and is just an all-around great kid. (I can say “kid” now that I’m about a month away from hitting another decade milestone.) While I was taking shot number one, I noticed in a matter of seconds the sky behind him got very dark and then … boom … downpour. Serious downpour. Like the kind Tom Hanks talks about in “Forrest Gump” … “Rain coming up from the ground.” I had my camera gear shoved up under my shirt tail to keep it dry and we were stranded right there on that old train depot under the awning for a good 15 minutes while it passed. The good news: It was the last of the rain for the morning and the cloudy skies meant we could shoot anywhere we wanted without blazing, direct sun.
I’m smack in the middle of processing, but had to stop and share because I know mom is watching anxiously (there are so many more great shots, too!) Hi Robin! Watch for part two of this session next week as I wrap up. And, Deb – Hannah is next! For now, enjoy a few peeks:
Kami!!! Is that my baby?? These are wonderful! Better than I expected – I will be anxiously waiting for the others. Thanks again for being a trooper that day, it was well worth it!

Your trip home Kam was a success. Reed is one handsome young man. You did a great job again. Despite the weather, you got some terrific shots. I know his mom will be totally impressed by these. Robin, he is quite a handsome lad. Super job Kami. Love you, Mom
As a former photographer I am blown away of your use of natural light. Very good comp and set choice , thanks for comming down these will be cheerished for life.
My fav is red shirt, top of the steps! Great shots, he doesn’t look like a boy anymore :*(
These pictures are amazing! They really capture true colors and natural surroundings with showing how much fun everyone must have had…
Great pictures! I was lucky enough to be both Reed’s and Hannah’s kindergarten teacher so I know that they are both really special kids. You captured Reed’s personality as well as those beautiful eyes! I love your site!
Oh my gosh, he looks so old and so handsome. These are great pics. I never realized Reed had such beautiful eyes. I can’t wait to look at all of them. Good luck picking them out Robin.
Kam, Those are wonderful pictures of Reed. I like them all, what a handsome subject with very clever backgrounds!!! Keep up the great work. Take care, Anne Sellers
Wow! Reed’s eyes are amazing. I liked the different backgrounds. My favorites are the third pic with the black shirt and with the red shirt sitting on the stairs. He looks so grown up.
Kami, These are awesome. I can’t decide which is my favorite – they are all great. Reed looks so handsome. These children grow up so quickly. What an eye you have for capturing their spirit.
These pictures are just AWESOME! He doesn’t look like a quiet second grader anymore. I love them all, but the one with Reed in his red shirt is a favorite. Thanks for sharing!
He is so handsome. Where does the time go?
I agree, the eyes have it! Wow! I wish Kami was around when my boys got their senior pictures taken! Ooohhh! Now I want to pinch Reed’s cheeks as well as Robbie’s!
