Mariah Senior 2018 – Kansas Photographer – Senior Photographer

| EBarnes

I try not to get on a soapbox much on my photography page as I have a blog for that, yet what I do want to say is these images represent something so simple yet so hard to find anymore for our young adults. Life is stressful for these kids, growing up today in this crazy media world is much more complicated that we realize. To me these images represent inner freedom, forgetting the junk, the news, the hard stuff, the mean people, the rumors, the big decisions that come with that senior year and just being free in the moment.

I believe many of us should take time to have these free moments, unplugged, just pure joy and laughter… anyway… off soapbox 🙂 Enjoy Miss Mariah, as she is representing a freedom we all need more of.

Blessings.

I was excited to explore a brand new(to me) location with Miss Hazel just outside of Wamego. What a gorgeous day, although the wind was a bit challenging, we made it work! Hazel I hope you had the best birthday, I love your big personality and those beautiful eyes. Thank you so much for trusting me with capturing your smiles, giggles and just you being you.

Blessings.

Haug Family – Kansas Photographer – Family Photographer

| EBarnes

Life with boys; busy boys, goofy boys, wiggle worm boys and silly face boys. Many times groups can become upset, frustrated or even just want to quit a session all together due to children misbehaving. I’ve challenged myself over the past 2 years to help families understand the value of photographing life as it is. Boys will be boys, but some day they will be men. Kids will be kids and someday they will be grown adults. Learn to laugh at your kids silliness and their goofy personalities. Embrace the craziness for someday it will be gone.

The Haug family was wonderful with their patience in allowing the kids to be kids. We had silly photos, goofy photos, funny face photos and smile photos. I am grateful for the opportunity to capture you and yours.

Your family if full of love and life, laughter and giggles. That’s what it’s all about friends.

Blessings!

Logan Senior 2018 – Kansas Photographer – Senior Photographer

| EBarnes

What a beautiful young lady! Miss Logan started off my 2018 Senior photos year this past May. She is a very talented young lady and I am honored she asked me to take her photos. Logan is also a photographer and has done some amazing work! It’s always such an honor to photograph other photographers. There is a trust and understanding that goes into making that decision as an artist and I am always humbled when asked to do them.  Best of luck this year and beyond. You will do great things!!

Blessings!
