I met Alli for the first time a few years ago when I was photographing the entire Bair family. I remember thinking then how sweet and fun she was to work with. She always had a smile on her face. Whether her Dad or big brothers were teasing her, or she was laughing with her Mom; Alli had such a charming demeanor about her. I remember thinking how I hoped to be able to work with her again, especially for her Senior Session. Fast forward a few years and you can imagine my excitement when I received the call and we picked a date for me to photograph Alli for her Senior Session. Yay!

The afternoon of her session arrived; what a beautiful day. Unseasonably warm, which her and I both loved. There are so many beautiful places here in Southwest Missouri that photograph so well, however, when we can go somewhere that has a special meaning to my client and somewhere only THEY have access to, it's in a league of its own. For Alli it was her Grandma and Grandpa property, which has acres and acres of beautiful land. An old barn, hay bales, a beautiful creek, and tall grassy areas. This setting was a photographer’s dream! Just like the day I met her, Alli did an amazing job during her session. Her smile is beautiful and contagious. She was so easy to work with and was on board with any suggestions I had. Even the idea of taking off her shoes to take a little stroll through the creek as the sun was setting behind her. What a trooper! I love those images so much. I can't say it enough, she a dream to work with!

Alli I wish you the very best as you embark upon this next chapter in your life. I hope you enjoy every minute of your Senior Year. It was a pleasure working with you and I hope that our paths cross again soon. Without further ado, I give you just a few of my favorite images from Alli's Senior Session. They will definitely put a smile on your face. Enjoy and Happy Friday!
