Daylin

Sometimes during a photo session we realize that the subject is truly “PHOTOGENIC.” Daylin was a complete natural in front of the camera and could pull off both fun and dramatic looks. Take a look at some of my favorites! There are so MANY more amazing pics of her – too many to share! A good portion of these were taken at our home studio in McKinney, TX in the month of June.

Hudson, Senior 2021

Meet McKinney Christian senior, Hudson Cross. We have known Hudson since he was a toddler and it was a treat to do his senior portraits. He is the perfect handsome blend of his Mom and Dad and is the youngest of three boys in the Cross family.

Hudson is a one of our SENIOR MODELS this year and he did an absolute great job during his session. He can pull off both the perfect smile and a serious looks alike.

I love Hudson’s style!! He looks awesome in his suit and shoes!!!! WOW!

Hudson loves sports and you can find him playing golf in his spare time. He also loves dogs especially his 13 year old Springer Spaniel, Tex, and his 9 year old Lab. He plans to buy an English Bulldog in the future.

An inspirational scripture that Hudson leans on is, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11

When God is for you, who can be against? GO HUDSON!!!

Rebecca, Senior 2021

As you can see, Rebecca has serious style. She loves to dress sporty but she also enjoys a feminine look. Her clothes were so cool and different that it made creating these images tons of fun!

When asked what her favorite part of her senior session was, she responded, “I liked dressing up in all my different outfits and getting to pose dramatically. It was fun seeing Adriatica Village. The scenery was beautiful.”

In her spare time she enjoys watching movies, reading books, listening to music and exercising. She is a member of the cross country team at Wylie High School . She is a self described “romantic” and would love to watch Pride and Prejudice for the first time again! She is academically determined and plans to attend college and major in cognitive neuroscience or behavioral science. Her plans include attending medical school and becoming a surgeon!

Rebecca’s dream is to finish school and move somewhere in Europe. Possibly Portugal because of its beautiful views and beach.

A mantra that Rebecca lives by is a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt. “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”

No doubt that Rebecca is an inspiration and will do amazing things in her life. We wish her a great senior year and lots of interesting adventures ahead!

We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your senior pics!

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 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!

High School Pictures from Trinity Christian Academy

We have really enjoyed meeting kids from Trinity Christian Academy this year! They are all very photogenic and a pleasure to be around. Here are just a few that have visited us recently. Go TCA Trojans!

High School Sports Photo in Frisco, TX

These images tell the story of a local high school senior that has a passion for track and field. They were taken on the last day of November at Frisco High School, so it was very cool outside. It’s so awesome to have the opportunity to capture someone doing something they love!

Senior Portraits/Innovative Images/Kurt Nelson/Frisco Photographer

Wow! This senior had so many amazing images! She was really at ease and fun to work with. My goal is for each senior session to tell a unique and individual story. We work in the studio and in various locations to achieve variety. Some things that separate us from other senior photographers is our use of light outside and the indoor studio portraiture – a lost art! Our clients leave with images that stand out and are noticeably different than any they have had before!
