Kentucky Photographer / Class of 2022 Senior Ambassador - Sara Grace
I’ve gotten the chance to work with Sara Grace not once but three times now prior to her own senior session and each time has been the most pleasant time. She is so sweet and has such a natural, effortless beauty. I am so honored to say that she is on my class of 2022 senior ambassador team and I know she is going to represent Studio 606 so well this year!
We had her senior session planned to a T, but the storm that came in the first half of her session really turned the evening around. The sunflower field we had placed our bets on, had been took down by the strong winds! Such a bummer! But we made a last minute decision to swing by a field and out came the sun during the rain and it was magic! We also got to visit the dock where Sara Grace spends her summers so it worked out perfectly!
Sara, I am so excited to follow you along your journey of senior year and I hope it is the best year yet!
Kentucky Senior Photographer / Back to School Senior Ambassadors Photoshoot at Pisgah Schoolhouse
This was an incredible start to our year together. Each girl BROUGHT it, and did it so well! Everyone picked their own outfits and they shared them as they found them to make sure we coordinated. I really was feeling something retro with our first group shoot, and Pisgah Schoolhouse is the most preserved place locally. Which worked out perfect, because it was the weekend before most of them went back to school. One last shebang, to bring in the new year! I am so excited to see where this year takes us. I have lots of dreams for these girls and I know it’s going to be the best year yet!
Introducting, my class of 2022 SENIOR AMBASSADORS!
Kentucky Senior Photographer / Snowy Senior Session
OOOO it was SO freezing during this session! I think we were able to do it in under 25 minutes! I invited all of my Senior Ambassadors to come out for a snow shoot and it ended up just being my Monticello gals. Which was actually pretty cool to see how they are so bonded to each other! The best of friends! I always enjoy hanging out with my seniors and they always inspire me with how beautiful each and every single one of them are. I am soooo looking forward to our next shoot (for Valentines day!) and hopefully all of my seniors can be there this time. I am going to plan a huge group shoot with all of my seniors (not just ambassadors) from 2021 at the end of the year, so if you are one of those, STAY TUNED! :)
Kentucky Senior Photographer / Senior session at the creek / Zoe G.
Zoe is so cool! I want to be Zoe when I grow up. We went to this little creek area close to my house for Zoe’s senior session. It’s a dream. The spot I was DYING to go to was unfortunately overgrown but we made the best of it and picked all the spots with good light. Zoe is such a model, she was so easy to photograph! Zoe is also one of my senior ambassadors so I am looking forward to hanging out with her more during this year!
Kentucky Senior Photographer / Golden Field Senior Session
Don’t worry guys, this shoot was awhile ago. No more shooting for me with this coronavirus stuff spreading!
Class of 2020- Kaitlyn P.
I’ve really had a blast with my senior ambassadors/VIP seniors this year. More specifically, I’ve gotten to shoot Kaitlyn at least 5 times this year. I love her spirit so much - she’s always so happy, laughing and up for anything. She came with the outfit, I brought the hat and it worked so well together. For the location, we went to the place where kids party (sorry Kaitlyn’s mom) but it has the most beautiful view of Monticello, even if everything else there is DEAD. always. Which sometimes works well for photos, as I am sure you will see in these :)
My heart goes out to you, class of 2020. I can’t imagine living in your world of unknown right now but I do know that everything happens for a reason, so hang in there and we’ll get through this together. If any of you guys need anything, please know I am here and will do what I can!
Kentucky Senior Photographer / Lake Lovers senior session / Studio 606 Senior Experience
I’ve had the pleasure of photographing Kaitlyn since she was a freshman in high school. Every year we got to do some sort of session, so I was jumping for joy when Kaitlyn’s momma asked for my senior info and Kaitlyn ended up becoming one of my ambassadors. She is such a fun, beautiful girl who I am blessed to have on my team. Her personality is friends with everyone and she never doesn’t have a smile on her face.
For Kaitlyn’s senior session, we started at the studio for hair and makeup by the fabulous Jamie Wesley. We then visited Kaitlyn’s grandparents house, where we did her photos four years ago. It was awesome to see what has changed on their property since then. The trees were much taller. It’s crazy how fast things grow. After that, we pretty much crawled under a bridge to check out a waterfall. It was worth it though as the fog was rising off the water. A fallen tree draped across the land. We then went to Conley Bottom which is where Kaitlyn has spent her summers since she was a child. They live there on the weekends in a camper they call home.
Kaitlyn, I have loved being your photographer all of these years. You are an outstanding young lady and I am so excited to see what the future holds for you.
Kentucky Senior Photographer / Fourth of July Senior Session at Conley Bottom / Studio 606 VIP Experience
THESE GIRLS, you guys. ARE AMAZING! I am so lucky to have them ALL on my senior team and am so lucky that they hopped on board with my last minute idea of a 4th of July themed shoot. So, these are my current VIP Seniors, and Senior Ambassadors. If you’re interested in becoming one, I can give you more info if you fill out the form here. The deadline to become a VIP senior is July 15th (only a few days away!!!!)
My point with creating the VIP senior experience is so that my seniors can be involved. I know they are so busy with school, extra circulars, jobs…. so I definitely didn’t want this to be a thing that they had to dread or even worry about. I wanted to create a little support family to which they can come to at any point of the year if they need help, need to have fun or just need to escape the stress of senior year. We have 2 additional senior group shoots planned, one is coming up soon and WHOOP WHOOP, my expectations are so high after this shoot! We are a family, and a lot of them are from different schools, have never met and I think they bonded SO well this first shoot and I AM SO STOKED to see where this year takes us all. I love that they are making new friends in this process, because that’s what it’s all about! :)
So, a special thanks to Kaitlyn’s (WCHS Senior Ambassador) aunt for letting us use her beautiful houseboat and boat. It was very nice protection from the monsoon that intruded our sunny day but at about the last 5 minutes of the rain, we all decided we wanted to be brave and shoot in it! I am so happy we did, because they danced in the rain. They loved it. I loved that they were having so much fun despite our unfortunate weather. The sun came back out and we ended with golden hour on a powerful note :)
THANK YOU SO MUCH GALS FOR BEING AMAZING AND ROCKING EVERYTHING YOU DO!!!!
Mckenzie, we missed you but I can’t wait to have you for the next one!!!!!! :)
Ready to join our VIP team? Fill out the form here and I will send you some info :)
Kentucky Senior Photographer / Studio 606 Senior Experience / Wayne County High School Senior Photographer / Abby D.
I can already tell that this year, my senior season is going to be one for the books! Let’s be real, they always are but this year I’ve added ambassadors and a VIP program to the mix. I’ve always wanted to be involved with my seniors senior year, I just never could figure out how to do so and how to encourage them to allow me to be. SO, our VIP team will enjoy group shoots, parties and just hanging out with each other! I am so excited to see where this year takes us!
We started this year out STRONG with my first senior ambassador from WCHS, Abby D. We explored a familiar area to her heart in her hometown, along with her momma and dog Moses. Abby brought out her guitar and she spun in the field of orange flowers. We even went on a walk to find NOT what we were looking for. It’s ok though because we did find another GORGEOUS spot and Abby was brave enough to climb the waterfall. We still have another location to go and we’re doing it this coming week! I AM SO EXCITED FOR IT GUYS, MY EXPECTATIONS are so HiGH and I can’t wait to show you!
Abby is a GORGEOUS, genuine kind hearted gal who loves dogs, dance and music. She’s so sweet and has the most adorable smile! She laughs at everything and is totally fearless in everything she does. She hiked up that waterfall like it wasn’t a problem! ME on the other hand, I was struggling to stay upright…… HAHAHA! I am so excited to see what this Friday will bring Abby! CAN’T WAIT!
