Class of 2011: Katy! :: Abilene Senior Photographer, Snyder Senior Photographer

This vintage beauty's name is Katy and she is one of the few Seniors I'll be photographing this spring! Katy did a beautiful job styling this session!! As you can see, she is completely in love with the 1940s... everything from the clothes, to the hair & jewelry... she completely pulled off an authentic look for her senior session! We started shooting at the Windsor in Abilene... a place Katy has spent a great deal of time at as a kid. Her Great-Grandmother, "Gamby" used to live there and she is just in love with the Grand Ballroom and foyer area because of the 1940s feel... and the memories they hold!! It was a beautiful venue, and I really enjoyed playing with a combination of natural light and OCF with this session... especially creating images with dual color temperatures! It was an inspired session for me, something different!! Katy plans to have her wedding in this ballroom, so according to her, we'll be back there for pictures sometime in the future!! (Love that!)

Katy attends Highland High School and enjoys showing steers (and for those "city-folk" reading this... steers are castrated male cows... that's right!!), collecting vintage clothing, photography, and spending time with her sweetie, Caleb! She plans to attend Texas A&M University in the fall where she wants to pursue a degree in the communications field. Whatever Katy does, she'll do it with gusto, that's for sure! If you know her, you know that she's full of bubbly personality and positive energy! I enjoyed being with her so much that I recently hired her to be my production assistant until she leaves for college!! I'm really looking forward to having her help me with my sessions over the next few months, as well as helping her expand her understanding of photography too!!

Not only have I had the pleasure of taking Katy's Senior Portraits, but I get to photograph her newborn nephew, Kamdon,on Monday... and will be shooting her brother's Zach's wedding this summer!! What a treat for me!!!
