John, Senior 2021

John is a McKinney Boyd senior who is strikingly handsome, athletic, a bit shy and funny. He has a sister, Lindsey, and a brother, Austin. In addition, he has a fat black cat named Gus.

After high school John plans to play college baseball while furthering his education. John is inspired by major leaguer Mike Trout. His favorite movie is, of course, Moneyball.

John’s favorite quote is, “If you ain’t first, you’re last.”

We hope the remaining months of John’s senior year are amazing and that the spring baseball season turns out awesome!

Connor, Senior 2021

Doing Connor’s senior portraits was FUN. He is a friendly, laid back, relaxed guy with a great personality and good looks. There were so many amazing pics of him that it was difficult to choose a favorites! They were all SO GOOD!

During Connor’s spare time he enjoys working out, kayaking and hanging out with his friends. His favorite musical artist is DRAKE and his favorite movie of all time is AVENGERS. During the pandemic he has been training to get better both athletically and academically.

Connor’s goals after high school include having a successful career at Princeton and earning his degree. You are awesome, Connor!

This one is our favorite!

Nicole, Senior 2021

Nicole was one of the first of the Class of 2021 that we photographed this year. If the experience for both her and us is any indication of what’s in store for the year, things are going to be absolutely amazing. Nicole seems like an “old soul” with an outgoing, compassionate and tenacious spirit. She was absolutely a delight to work with and we are in love with her casual, beautiful results. Check out a few pics from her session…..

Nicole’s future plans are to attend college, obtain a Master’s in athletic training and Doctorate in physical therapy. Her ultimate goal is to become a trainer/physical therapist in the NFL.

It hasn’t been easy going into a senior year with a pandemic and uncertainty everywhere but Nicole says that the whole experience has “Taught me to look at the positives in a bad situation.”

Good Luck Nicole. You make the future seem as though we are all in good hands!

Senior Model Team 2021!

We are very excited about our SENIOR MODEL TEAM for 2021! Our team represents many different schools around the DFW area. We did our senior model shoot at THE STAR in FRISCO in May. It went well and we got some awesome pics. Our models are currently doing their individual senior photo shoots and we can’t wait to share some of their incredible images. Seriously…these kids are so awesome and photogenic! SENIORS 2021 YOU ROCK! Be sure to subscribe to all of our social media outlets (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter) to see more of these models as the year progresses.

Senior Model 2020 – KENZIE

Kenzie has a classy, comfortable style and would be described by friends as loyal, funny, trustworthy and selfless! She has amazing eyes and gorgeous hair not to mention a striking square facial shape. We had a blast photographing her and we are in love with her portraits. She is an expert at both fun, smiling pics as well as dramatic looks. She is a natural!

She has two dogs, Rusty and Ranger and says they have more energy than the rest of her family combined. Kenzie is an artistic soul. She enjoys listening to music, writing, sketching and photography. It sounds as though it is a natural fit for her to study cosmetology after high school!

An inspiration for Kenzie is Alexander Hamilton. She chose him because when no one else believed in him, he believed in himself. He had lots of really tough things happen to him but didn’t let those things define him.

Go Kenzie! You are such an interesting, fun and mature young woman and we know you will soar into the next phase of life!

Senior Model 2020 – SARAH

Sarah is truly a sweet soul! Her grandmother is her inspiration because she is always smiling and making people feel great by giving them compliments. Sarah has learned from her grandmother because she is friendly and helpful. We have been photographing Sarah since she was a small child and it has been awesome to have been a part of her life. In the portrait below, Sarah is holding a pic we did of her when she was little. She has always been beautiful! Her hair is pretty amazing too and it’s fun that she has so many different looks..

Sarah has been a dedicated member of the Tallenettes throughout her high school years in Allen. Her favorite memories include performing in the Showcase and cheering on the football team. Her drill team was awarded “Overall Grand Champions” in competition.

WOW!!!!
One of her favorite scriptures is Ephesians 2:10
YOU ARE GOD’S MASTERPIECE

Like many teenagers, Sarah’s favorite thing to do in her spare time is sleep but of course hanging out with her friends is top of the list too. She describes herself as a “child at heart,” and says her favorite movie of all time is THE LION KING.

Next year Sarah will begin a new chapter in her life as she enters college to pursue business or IT. We wish her lots of fun adventures and success in the years to come!

Senior Model 2020 – Haley

Haley certainly lights up the camera! She is a beautiful, mature girl who is passionate, caring and kind. More than anyone else in the world, she is inspired by her parents because they are “great people!” Her parents have raised an awesome young women with a bright future ahead. She is undecided on her career path but has chosen to attend The University of Oklahoma next fall. She is going to love cheering on the Sooners and settling into her new life in Norman.

Haley’s favorite thing to do is spend time with her friends and family AND her fur babies which include her lab Boomer, and chihuahua Emma. She also has two rag doll cats named Max and Juliet. Haley also has a job at a local restaurant AND is president of the student council at school.

A bible verse that Haley loves is “Let all you do be done with love.” 1 Corinthians 16:14

We loved photographing and getting to know Haley……Boomer Sooner!

Senior Model 2020 – Kierstin

I’ve been photographing Kierstin and her sisters for a VERY long time. It has been fun watching them grow into beautiful young women. She is the FIRST of the girls to be a senior and is certainly setting the bar high!

Kierstin has two dogs named Baylor and Raider. The names come from her parents’ alma maters – Baylor (Dad) and Texas Tech (Mom). Maybe one day she will have a dog of her own and name it “Cowboy” because her future plans are to attend either Texas Tech or Oklahoma State and major in public relations/marketing/advertising.

“Start each day with a grateful heart.” Those words inspire Kierstin.

Kierstin is a ray of sunshine and she loves murals so the pic above is so PERFECT! She also loves music by Harry Styles and working at Bahama Bucks where she is a shift lead.

Good Luck Kierstin!

Meagan – Senior Model 2020

WOW! Meagan is a multi-talented, sweet and beautiful young woman. She was tons of fun to photograph and her pics are truly special!

Meagan is not only a gorgeous, brown-eyed stunner, she is funny and athletic! She was a regional finalist in track and a high school cheerleader. In addition, she loves to sing and play the guitar. Her favorite musical artist is Kacey Musgraves.

Meagan’s future looks bright as her plans include studying food science/communications at Baylor University. She leans on this verse to guide the way: “For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11

Senior Model – Hannah

Meet HANNAH, Senior Class of 2020 at McKinney Christian Academy. Her favorite high school tradition was the mum and garter exchange and homecoming game. A fun high school memory was watching “The Great Gatsby” in English class.

Hannah spends LOTS of her time at the gym training for gymnastics. It is rare to see someone stick with a sport that demands so much time and effort as gymnastics through high school! AWESOME

Hannah is truly one of the sweetest, most down to earth seniors that I have had the pleasure of photographing. She is the last graduate of a long line of beautiful sisters. I know her family is proud of the wonderful person she is!
