Gracelyn's Senior Photo Session in Joplin, MO

I just couldn't help myself with this sneak peek. I had to overshare because she had so many wonderful things in her senior photos. Check out Gracelyn's session in Webb City and Joplin, MO


A person in a black sweater and floral skirt sits on a library floor reading a book. Shelves of books surround them, creating a cozy mood.

This beautiful senior girl was so fun, and every little part of her senior session is perfection! I had so much fun meeting Gracelyn and learning about all the things she loves--books, coffee, vinyls, her grandpa's camera. It was great to hear of her plans for her senior year and even for college. I'm wishing her the very best year as she finishes out her high school career at Carthage High School.


She and her family took such care in preparing for her session, and it made it so personal and unique to her. From her very own books to a stop at Joplin Greenhouse to bring the best coffee to the session. (Seriously go order Bees Knees!) I love that her photos include what's special to her, and they show off who she is. So please enjoy this very full sneak peek of Gracelyn; she made it just too difficult for me to choose my favorites.


I have more to share, but here are a few for now:
