BTS vs final senior photo

Arriving at a location and seeing the potential of a spot takes some time to develop as a photographer. I’m still learn something new with each senior photo session, even after 10+ years. Creating something unique in unexpected locations is something I absolutely love to do!

Corinne and I were walking by this spot at the Wichita Art Museum and I saw the light coming thru the grass and I thought it was so pretty. I asked Corinne to squat in the grass, added a reflector to light her face and we created this MAGIC. One of my favorite photos from 2024!
