Niece's Senior Pictures

My gorgeous niece is a high school senior and asked me to take her senior photos.  I was thrilled!  She is a natural both in front of and behind a camera lens.  We are doing a couple of photos shoots in different locations but wanted to get these done now since she is getting her hair cut short!! We had a break in the hot, humid weather yesterday - only 89 - so out we went!  There is a new park near her house that was perfect, stream and all.

Enjoy!  Installment two coming up when the weather is cooler.

Overland Park Arboretum Summer Photos

I photographed a dedication ceremony yesterday at the Overland Park Arboretum and for fun, took some additional photos of the gardens in full summer splendor.  If you live in Kansas City and haven't been to the Arboretum recently, it is gorgeous.  It gets better and better each year. The new Serenity Point, that  dedicated yesterday, offers a stunning view of the surrounding grounds.
