Helaina - PVHS Class of 2025 - Quad Cities Senior Portrait Photographer

I cannot even with this girl!  It was so  hard to limit my shares to even what is in this post.  I'm actually kind of sad about her session. I hope I get to have her in front of my lens again at some point! I have had so much fun over the years photographing her.  I know this is random, and I've never shared this with her mom, but I remember the first session I did with her family.  It was at Vanderveer Park and they pulled Helaina out of school for the session...and for some reason I vividly remember that it was on a day that her class was having an ice cream party of some sort.  I THINK she was probably in about 1st grade.  I remember feeling so much pressure not only to nail their session because she missed something so fun to be there and also make sure that it was fun for her. I never would have guessed on that day that all these years later, I'd be photographing her Senior Portraits!

Helaina!!!  You've always been one of my favorite people to photograph.  I'm so grateful for all the times you've stood in front of my lens and it's been so fun watching you grow.  Your whole life is ahead of you and I have no doubt that you will achieve all of your dreams.  So excited for you as you enter the next chapter in your life, but don't wish away the rest of this year...enjoy every last second!

The Leone Family - Quad Cities Family Photographer

I simply ADORE this family and just like the 11+ years I photographed them in the past, this session was so easy and fun...and a little extra fun with a new little addition as well!  Aren't they just perfect?  And just like every year before, I made Alaina kiss Jonathan on the cheek...that picture is getting harder and harder to convince them to do each year.  Ha.

Check out the Leone Family sneaks below!





















I saved some good ones for when you get your gallery! ;)  There were just too many to choose from!  I cannot wait for you to see them all!  Thanks for sticking with me all these years!!!

Keegan - Central Dewitt Class of 2025 - Quad Cities Senior Portrait Photographer

Keegan was the last of the Senior Sessions I will get to do for this family.  It's been fun.  Such great kids and I've loved getting to know their mom, too!  He was so good in front of the camera and I love getting to photograph seniors representing what they love.

 Thanks for hanging out with me for a couple of hours and putting up with getting your picture taken! ;)  Best wishes to you as you start this next journey in your life beyond high school!
