"K" senior session!

This session was so great! She makes posing and smiling for the camera look so easy!









Her little sister deserves a lot of credit for being such a great assistant! Thank you, "T"!


She was so amazing on her horse. I literally had them run circles around me!


Thanks for letting me take your pictures - you are so gorgeous! The rest of the pictures will be ready in a day or two. (By the way - I think you look like Rachel McAdams in a bunch of your pictures!)

Baby Ellie Jane

With a name as beautiful as that, it'd be hard not to be as gorgeous as this little sweetie is! She was so great and her big sis was just as fun!








Ava is so in love with her new little sister, she has mastered the art of intense hugs! Thanks for letting me take your pictures - it's so fun to see how big Ava is getting! The rest are on their way in a day or two. Have a wonderful Mother's Day!

Dayton

What a riot! I think I was laughing throughout the whole session. I know that smiling for the camera isn't a senior guy's favorite thing to do, but Dayton was great - he decided to have fun with it. His biggest requests were to get some "action" shots and some shots of him breaking his guitar.
So, this is "action" right? I think I would have broken my leg doing what he did!
I felt really bad for this beautiful guitar, but . . .
It was pretty fun watching him go crazy on it!
I still feel bad for it, though.



Seriously - what a stud! This was actually a really big drop off that would have had me crumpled in a ball on the asphalt . . . . unconcieous.


This is his "looking ahead at the future" that every senior session must have. Thanks, Dayton, for letting me take your pictures - it was a lot of fun!

The "W" family

All I can say is that I am SO happy we cancelled the session the first time around. Although we got a few great shots, it was just to dang cold for these tiny, little, adorable girls. The wind would just take their breath away. I have to give them credit for trying, but sometimes the weather is just a little to intense for happy pictures. Luckily, a few days was all it took to get the warm back and to get the pictures we were wanting. I hope you like them, and there's a TON more proofing on my website - so go look!

I'm so excited!

I just wanted to let everyone know that I now have a new favorite place to take pictures! It took me almost 3 years of driving by this orchard, while completely obsessing over it, to get up the courage to search out the owners and ask for permission to take pictures here! To my astonishment, they wonderful couple said it was no big deal at all! SO . . . . now I just need to get the word out that I can take "orchard" pictures - email me for a booking @ mckenziehansenphotography@yahoo.com. (I have a few openings left for June, if you're interested)

I'm so darn excited!
