Take the Pictures. Cherish the Moments.

Senior Portraits
Kansas City | Leawood | Overland Park | Belton
Some of you have been waiting years to take your senior pictures. And now that the day has arrived, know that I feel that tingle of excitement for you! Your senior year is truly a time in your life like no other.
Seniors who choose Sunshine and Shadows Photography receive a completely customized experience. The whole session is really about you, after all. And you're not a cookie-cutter client.
I will help you pick the right location for what you want: something urban, natural, or perhaps even a combination of places. We will work together to style you to feel your very best, so you look incredible and photograph perfectly.
Don't worry. There won't be any stiff, dull, or unnatural poses!
I want to show off what makes you "you" and showcase your personality! Feel free to bring your favorite props or sports gear to your session.
Now, let's get started:
Fill out the form below or use the button above. Either one comes straight to me, and I'll get back to you within 24 hours — usually much sooner.
We handle paperwork, payments, and picking a date — all the boring stuff.
We'll plan out every detail — from locations to outfits to hair. Don't worry, I'll have plenty of suggestions for your photo shoot, but you'll have the final say.
Senior session time! We hang. We smile. But we don't force anything.
I edit each photo and deliver them to you in a digital gallery. From there, you can choose which senior images to download and which to print.
Let's Talk Senior Photos
I would love to speak with you to determine if I'd be a good fit.
I know a photographer's style isn't your only concern; your budget is integral to hiring a senior photographer. My session fee is $149, including a 60-to-90-minute photo session, styling assistance & location selection. Image collections start at $399.
