Dina braved the chilly wind yesterday for a few outdoor images, but we spent most of our 2 hours in studio. We kept each other laughing (though I’m still not sure if she was laughing AT me or WITH me half the time!)…and got some great senior images in the process! Hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

Yesterday was one of those fall days that makes you want to stay in and read a good book…drizzly, gray and just a little chilly. It’s also the kind of day, if the drizzle lets up, that produces that soft, beautiful light we photographers love! There is no harsh sun casting shadows in all the wrong places and making us work for great places to shoot! We could have taken Anna’s senior pictures about anywhere and the light would have been great. In fact, that’s what we did! We found old buildings, a pile of milo, the elevators…wherever we could find a spot! It also helps when your senior trusts you and likes the ideas you have!!! Thanks so much to Anna and Lexi (the most awesome reflector holder ever!) and Diane for coming out to Copeland…hope you enjoy the sneak peek.

Naura|Satanta High School {Kansas Senior Photographer}

Posted on November 4, 2009

We had great temperatures last night for our shoot, but we did have to battle some wind. It didn’t stop us though…Miss Naura was a natural and pulled off the wind-blown look effortlessly! We shot around her hometown and then tried to beat it back here for some sunset images but that sun sank way too fast!! We are going to try for those another night. But we did get some beautiful images in studio and had a great time…I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

Wade|SWH ‘10 {Kansas Senior Photographer}

Posted on October 26, 2009

We booked Wade’s pictures way back in the summer hoping to get in some of the fall colors around their farm. I was worried the early frosts would leave us with some pretty blah landscape but those beautiful, old cottonwoods came through and provided some amazing backdrops. Wade and his mom took me out to one of their farm ponds where I could have spent hours and hours just shooting and taking in every detail. I absolutely loved it!
I had a great time and hope you did too! Enjoy your sneak peek!!

Mindy| ‘10 Kinsley High School {Kansas Senior Photographer}

Posted on October 21, 2009

When Mindy got here yesterday, we realized we are kind of related in a round about way! See if you can follow along…her grandma’s sister was married to an uncle of my father-in-law (for those that know us: Uncle Johnny’s wife’s sister is the grandma here!). HA! Usually people hear our last name and ask if we are related to _________ Jantz (fill in the blank with any Jantz you know) and the answer is almost always “no.” There are several Jantz families in the area but Travis’ family is not related to most of them.

At any rate, we had a GORGEOUS morning yesterday for shooting all around Copeland. Sometimes I’m sure our little town must think I’m crazy with all the places I shoot around. But my favorite little building in Copeland is falling apart, has broken glass and half-dead trees all around it, and probably never even gets noticed unless we are out there shooting! It serves as storage for someone’s stuff but it has the most colorful bricks which in turn create a deep, dramatic background for all sorts of images. We also shot around our elevator, some of the beautiful trees in town, and in my in-law’s back yard. It was a great morning and I had a wonderful time with Mindy and her mom and grandma. Thanks for coming all the way to little ol’ Copeland!

I don’t know how I got so lucky to get such great seniors to work with this year…but I did. Every one of them has been amazing. Last night was no exception…Kellyn is beautiful inside and out. We shot around the depot (my favorite place to shoot in Dodge), found a great cluster of beautiful old trees, and even stopped on the way back to my studio for some shots with an old pickup (I’d so love to buy it and have it here!). Thanks for putting up with me and enjoy your sneak peek!!

Tara|’10 {Kansas Senior Photographer}

Posted on October 17, 2009

I met up with Miss Tara last night in Dodge after rescheduling from Monday because of yucky weather. After about 5 minutes of shooting, I said, “Do I know you from somewhere else?” (Side note…I always think I know everyone from somewhere! I’m usually mistaken!!) She said I seemed familiar, too so I asked if she was related to some of our *favorite* people here in town and the light bulb went off! She is the niece of Travis’s second family, the Trickey’s. We had a ball running around Dodge City and then coming back here for some studio work. Tara is set to graduate in December so we got her Senior pictures done just in time…enjoy this sneak peek!

Vianney|Cimarron High ‘10 {Kansas Senior Photographer}

Posted on October 14, 2009

Since the weather wasn’t cooperating (AGAIN! Come back fall!), we did only the studio half of Vianney’s senior pictures yesterday. We plan to meet up again in a week or two to finish her session…but I think we got a great start yesterday! She was so fun to work with and had some ideas of her own which is always fun to try. Enjoy the sneak peek (and pray for some nice weather soon!)!!

Cimarron High|Aaron 2010 {Kansas Senior Photographer}

Posted on October 7, 2009

We had a perfect evening yesterday for Aaron’s senior session.  Hardly even a breeze, a beautiful sky, and just warm enough to not need a jacket.  We were nearly run over by a tractor and a combine (I’m not exaggerating much!) but the end result was worth it.  Aaron…I hope you had fun and hope you’ll love your senior pictures.

Holcomb High Senior|Ashley 2010 {Kansas Senior Photographer|

Posted on October 6, 2009

I was a little worried about the weather situation yesterday for Ashley’s senior pictures as it was windy and rainy in the morning.  But by the afternoon, the clouds had moved out, the sun was warm…but the wind was still blowing!  We had spoken on the phone last week going over some of her ideas and knew she would be fun to work with, but I had no idea how beautiful she would be and how much fun we’d have running around Garden City.  She had scoped out all the locations she wanted to use (she has a GREAT eye for these things…I definitely see a future for her in photography!), carefully chosen her outfits for each location, and still listened to my ideas so that we blended it all together to come up with some of the most unique and fun senior images I’ve worked on so far this year!  Thanks to Ashley and her mom for making my day…enjoy your sneak peek!
