Octavian | A Senior Session

It’s difficult to find words for this one. I’ve known him for over 12 years. He and my son played soccer together for years. They rocked their little (and not-so-little) mohawks and played their hearts out. His mom and I stood on the sidelines together, cheering loudly, at every match. It’s really hard to believe that little boy is now a young man and will be graduating high school in just a few short months.

I am not okay.

I imaging if I am not okay, then his mama is REALLY not okay.

All that said, check out this guy. Not only is he an amazing athlete, but he is also one of the kindest souls. Although time and distance has come between us over the years, this family will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart.

To O: Thank you for trusting me with your senior pictures! I KNOW you will excel at anything you do!!

If you’re graduating high school in 2024, this is your year! I am now accepting applications for the 2024 Senior Team!! Check it out and apply today!!

Kasey | Senior Team

Another senior interview! YAY! I met Kasey many years ago when she and her sister were dancers at Allegro Dance Arts. I had the pleasure of capturing her older sister, Lucy, a couple years ago, too! Kasey and I connected, once again, and ended up doing CrossFit together, which was a lot of fun! She was quite the competitor! Now, here we are…wrapping up her senior year. It’s true what they say…time flies.

What was your favorite part of being a KRP Real Senior?:
I LOVED being a KRP Real Senior! I was a little nervous in the beginning because I never had professional photos done but it was such a fun time. Kelly made it really easy and it was so much fun to do group sessions with Ashley and Mylena along with my individual shots at so many beautiful locations.
