Cole & Carrie | Lebanon, MO Senior Photography

They're just like peas & carrots, but as different as black and white. Sweet and structured. Artsy and funny. Cole and Carrie were my first seniors in my small hometown of Lebanon, MO, and boy they are something!

 Despite some adverse situations these two have faced together, there was no shortage of smiles, jokes and banter to go around during our session outside of Lebanon. The first stop was a place near and dear to both, their sweet little church where some close family members had been laid to rest. Locations with such strong emotional ties really do make for great shots.

We packed up shop and convoyed down the road to the next stop, land that their father once owned that the twins will soon inherit. The old barn was his pet project until he passed so finding forgotten family momentos shrouded in dust made the experience one to remember for all of us.

Carrie is by far the driven, assertive, go-getter of the pair. A bit of a tomboy at heart, she's sweet and kind and knows exactly what she wants out of life.

Ever the jokester, Cole has style, passion and creativity that's evident from the moment you meet him.  I loved hearing the excitement in his voice as we talked about the Lebanon high school football teamthat he and Carrie help manage (Go Yellow Jackets!)

We wrapped up the session with some gorgeous light at a location that my fiance and his business partner own, just down the road from my own house.

Hip.

Lovely.

Cole & Carrie, you both were fabulous; I'm so blessed to call you part of the BigStar Seniors Family! Best wishes on a future that's full of promise...oh, and...Go Yellow Jackets!

Lindsay | Douglas, WY Senior Photography

As a kindergartener, I had a little white sweatshirt with a purple hot air balloon on it that said "Class of 2005" in a funky '90s script.

2005 is, like, forever away. I remember my little, scrunci-wearing self thinking. I wonder what I'll look like in 2005?

Ok, so I was a bit of a weird-o as a small child. Just don't mention that to my dad or he'll launch into "funny" anecdotes about my childhood imaginary friends.

My point is that I can't believe that I'm photographing the Class of 2013 this fall. And, I know, I'll be singing the same tune next fall, lamenting on how quickly another year went by. I just hope the fabulous Lindsay remembers to savor each day of her senior year, including all those fun memories I'm sure she'll make in her photo editing class and with her fellow Douglas FFA Chapter Officers.

You may remember, that we had some awesome locations picked out for this shoot, one of them being the Wyoming State Fairgrounds in Douglas, WY where a couple of her friends met us with three of her show lambs that would be showing at the State Fair the week after our shoot.

I totally dug Lindsay's style, especially these angel earrings she threw on once we moved out of town to a local junk yard.

Driven. Passionate. Daddy's girl. Lindsay is a fabulous girl with a vivid personality and all the makings of the perfect BigStar Senior.

I just wonder if she has a hot air balloon sweatshirt from her kindergarten days...
