Meet Julian! He’s a talented volleyball player and a hard worker! Although I don’t know him that well, I first met him about 6 years ago when he was working out at the gym. While most boys his age would goof around a bit, he was always very focused and pushed himself to do his best. It was very motivating!! It seems that his work ethic has not dwindled since then. It was a pleasure to do his senior pictures this year, and I know he will succeed at whatever he decides to do!!

What piece of advice would you give to upcoming seniors?:
When I was a freshman, I remember all of the seniors telling me “enjoy high school while you’re here because it goes by in the blink of an eye.” When hearing this, I didn’t think much of it because I had what felt like a lifetime of work ahead of me. Now, I’m a senior, the year is almost halfway over, and I already miss it. So, my advice for upcoming seniors is, if you haven’t cherished your high school years, try to cherish your senior year as much as possible.

Nik | KRP Real Senior
This senior guy came to me in the fall for some more urban senior pictures. We decided to hit the town and got some fun shots! It was a great time!
Maggie | KRP Real Senior
I met with Maggie and her family one beautiful evening late this summer. We couldn’t have asked for a more gorgeous day! She was radiant in every shot and we had a great time. Here are some of my personal favorites from the session!
Tucker | KRP Real Senior
I had the chance to spend an evening this past summer doing a senior session with Tucker. Not only is he a hard working, well-spoken young man, but he’s also a pretty fantastic Cross Country athlete. At the time of the session my son was on the fence about joining the XC team, himself, and after talking to Tucker and his mom about it, I knew I could convince him to give it a “go”. My son ended up joining the team and would tell me about how one of the really nice high school boys would help the middle school students and encourage them. I don’t know how many of you spend time with seniors, but let me tell you…THAT is awesome. He made such a good impression on P and I am so grateful for that.
In addition to being kind and athletic, he also knew how to work the camera. He pretty much rocked this session (so did Jackson!)!
