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.
What was your favorite part of being a KRP Real Senior?:
My favorite parts of being a KRP Real Senior was being around Kelly and her bubbly personality and the overall positive environment she gave off.

I had the delight of working with this wonderful young lady just one year after doing her sister’s senior session. I can’t tell you just how great it was to work with both girls and their mom. They are SUCH awesome people! We chanced the weather and it ended up working out perfectly. A little bit moody, a lot amazing. I am in LOVE with the results!!
Ashley | KRP Real Senior
I honestly don’t know where to begin when it comes to the AHHHMAZING ladies that were part of the KRP Senior Team this year. Seriously. The world would be a better place if we had more of their kindness, intelligence, and spirit. Each of these women is beautiful, and not just in the physical sense. They are BEAUTIFUL people on the inside. It was absolutely my pleasure to work with them this year.
I like to ask each of the girls a few questions after our time together. First up, we have Ashley! Check out what she had to say!

Stay tuned for interviews with the other KRP Real Seniors!!
Libby | KRP Real Senior
On the coldest day of the year (or maybe ever), I was thinking about a session I did on the HOTTEST day of the year! Libby, a Meadville senior, braved some major heat (in her jeans and long sleeves!) to get some shots with her horse, Moose. We found a couple shaded areas so it wouldn’t be quite so overwhelming, and they both did great. I had so much fun with these two!!
The M Children | A Fall Session
These three kiddos were SO much fun to work with. They each had their own ideas for the session and I loved it! Mom was going to sit this one out, but the kids and I convinced her to get in the frame. Moms…GET IN THE PICTURE!! They’re only little for a short time. You will NEVER regret having those memories. Even if it’s just a shot or two…DO IT!!
The A Family | A Fall Family Session
Fall can provide a gorgeous backdrop for photography, and this family session was no exception. The A’s were so much fun! I loved being able to watch the boys play, and getting to know mom and dad. We had an absolutely perfect day, too! Here is a glimpse into our time together! Thank you, A family, for choosing me to capture you!
Miss G
I have had the opportunity to photograph this brave, adventurous young lady since she was just nine months old. I can't begin to tell you how amazing it is to watch these little ones grow up. The time is so fleeting and they change SO much from year to year...being able to capture these moments is priceless.
The S Family | A Fall Family Session
I am admittedly very behind on my blogging, but since I have an all-new, start-from-scratch blog, maybe it's not a bad thing ;-)
Last fall, I was able to photograph the beautiful S family! Not only are they incredibly good-looking, they're also pretty awesome people. <3
