Alex Hernandez – Smithville High – 9/18/21

Here we have another wonderful client from the past!  We photographed Alex’s mom, Elizabeth, several years back and Alex’s sister about five years ago.  Now it’s Alex’s turn!  I can recall photographing Alex in youth soccer and also when we did a family portrait! Here she is a high school senior – WOW!  Alex still plays soccer and plans on becoming a psychology major in collage!  Alex, you turned out to be a beautiful young lady!  We started her session here at our studio and finished up at Smithville Lake.  We couldn’t have asked for a better day to photograph at the lake.  Again, thank you Elizabeth for once again putting your trust in us to capture your daughter’s special year!

Lucas Wake – Worth County R3 High – 9/11/21

When Sabrina Wake, Lucas’ mom, called to schedule his senior session, she reminded me that I had done her senior photographs over 15 years ago.  She wanted us to photograph her son now.  I’m honored for the opportunity!  Lucas is a hunter, fisherman, and loves the outdoors!  Check out the cool photographs of Lucas.  Does he look like a genuine cowboy or what?  Again, thank you for thinking of us after all these years!  Lucas, we wish you the best with your future goals!

Chambie (his nickname), we wish you the best with your future plans!!

Ethan Peoples – Smithville HS – 4/15/21

I have had the opportunity to photograph several of the Peoples’ family members.  Actually I photographed Ethan’s dad, Jerry, back in the 90’s for his senior photos and also photographed Ethan’s sister, Anna, a couple years ago.  Ethan is a quiet young man, but friendly!  Check out the photos with his pickup that he purchased all on his own!  Way to go Ethan!  Ethan plans to get into the electrical career field!  Ethan, we wish you the best!  Thank you again to the Peoples’ family for putting their trust in our studio for several years!

Koltin Hevalow – Home School Senior – 3/15/21 and 4/12/21

As a professional photographer for over 30 years, just when you think you’ve seen and done it all, there’s always something new!  Koltin is my first young bull rider I have had the pleasure to photograph!  Again, due to weather conditions, we ended up doing two sessions for Koltin, one in studio and one on location.  Here’s a brief background on this young man.  He’s been doing bull riding since he was three years old and he’s not yet 18 years old.  Here’s a brief list of his memberships and accomplishments:

*Missouri High School Rodeo Association – There’s 130 members in the state of Mo.

*2017 National Junior High School World Champion Bull Rider.

*Four Time Youth World Champion Bull Riding.

*2020 – Boys All Around Champion For Mo. High School Rodeo Association.

*Will be going to college in Odessa Texas with a full ride scholarship.  Apart from his general studies, he will be doing Bull Riding, Tied Down Roping, and Team Roping.

*Member of The Pro Rodeo Cowboys Association.

His dad, Kevin, has also done bull riding and saddle broncs.  His mom, Jen, has done barrel racing, to include pole bending, goat tying, trail course, and roping!  Also, his 14 year old brother, Crash, is following in the family footsteps!  WOW!  Thank you all so very much for the opportunity to photograph Koltin’s senior portraits!  What a wonderful learning experience for me and my assistants!  We wish you the best, Mr. Koltin!!!

Chandler DeAces – Smithville HS – 2/19/21 and 4/3/21

We have photographed Chandler’s brother in the past and Chandler is the last of the siblings.  We ended up doing two separate sessions with him.  He was wanting some snow photographs so we did those photos in February and then we finished up his session in April in order to get better weather for his on location images in the city.  Chandler loves the cityscape of Kansas City.  We had a bit of haze in the sky on this day, but not too bad.  You might be able to notice in some of the photographs.  Chandler’s goal after high school is to go into the U.S. Marines.  Chandler, we wish you the best with your future goals.  Thank you to mom and dad for the opportunity to photograph your last child!

Robert Moody – Rosendale HS – 3/18/21

Robert is the third and last family member we have had the opportunity to photograph for senior portraits.  Thank you for driving such a long way.  We feel honored!  Let me tell you, Robert is a character.  He plays both the saxophone and guitar!  He’s been playing saxophone since he was in the 4th grade!  Check out his hat!  It’s his trademark.  He wears it all the time.  It’s part of his personality.  Robert joined the U.S. Army and will be going to basic training in August!  We wish you the best, and thank you for serving our country!  Robert chose to have his session done all indoors.  Again, thank you for the opportunity!

Deanna Wilson – Smithville HS – 11/9/20

I would like to thank Deanna’s family for the opportunity to do her senior photographs!  I have photographed Deanna in the past with the Smithville HS Dazzlers.  Deanna will be going into the Bio-Medical field.  Deanna, we wish you the best with your future plans and goals!

Dylan Guess – Staley High School – 10/17/20

You Guessed It!  Dylan is related to the Guess family.  We did a mini high school senior session on the same day we did his family.  Dylan has been involved with playing music since he was a young man!  He plays trombone in the Staley HS marching band and also plays guitar!  Check out the fedora! It’s a family heirloom that belonged to his grandpa.  We also had to have a Mask Photo since 2020 has been a historical year with the famous Covid-19. Dylan, we wish you the best with your future plans and goals!

Dalton Hendricks – Platte County R-3 – 10/12/20

Dalton is a very pleasant individual to work with!  He’s played football for Platte County R-3 high school for all four years.  I also recall photographing him in his younger years with the youth football teams.  He tells me that his goal is to become a Chiropractor!  Enjoy his images we did in studio, outdoor at our portrait park, and also at the Platte County R-3 football stadium!  Dalton, we wish you the best with your future plans and goals.  Thank you for the opportunity to do your senior photos!
