I had a great time photographing Preston’s senior session at Shawnee Lake during a beautiful sunset. We started at Ted Ensley Gardens and made our way around the entire lake, stopping at a few scenic spots along the way. The evening light was perfect, and we finished the session on the east side with an amazing sky over the water—one of my favorite ways to wrap up a shoot.

I’ve been photographing Caleb for years now, and it’s been such a joy to watch him grow up. He’s a senior at Washburn Rural High School, and this session felt extra special. Caleb has such a fun personality and an awesome smile—he seriously cracks me up every time with his silly faces. We had a blast together, just like always! It’s always easygoing and full of laughs when Caleb’s in front of my camera. For his senior session, we met up bright and early at Osage County Fishing Lake, and wow—the sunrise did not disappoint.
