KEIRA
Preparing for that awesome moment when we deliver Keira's senior portraits. We decided to get a little creative with this one: It reminds us of pictures we'd see in the fashion magazines in the 60s and 70s. Love it! MUAH: Kariann Holbrook.

Doesn't get much cuter than this! Another great shot from Kino's very first professional modeling shoot.

ALEX AS A SENIOR
This is the sort of young man of which a community should be most proud. An excellent student, world-class athlete, a positive influence on his peers and one of the most polite and respectful young men I've had the pleasure of meeting. Senior portraits for Alex McGarry.

KINO'S CLASSIC
I could be totally wrong but I think is a remarkably beautiful photograph, made even more amazing by the fact this was Kino's very first professional photo shoot. This sweetly charming kid has a bright future ahead of her.
