SENIORS | PORTRAITS

Portraits are no doubt my favorite to photograph. It feels so familiar— personal and light. Many of my very close friendships have been born out of a photoshoot like this. Bring your mom along, or maybe a friend, a playlist you’ve been listening to, and a favorite pair of sunnies.

    "I knew for a while that I wanted Halle to take my senior pictures because I loved her work, but I didn’t realize how much I would love her as a person as well!! She made me feel so comfortable and confident during our session. She’s so fun to be around and talk to and just an amazing human being. Halle knew exactly how to capture what I wanted and I felt like she enjoyed herself just as much as I did. She is a very special person and an amazing photographer, Halle goes above and beyond, so glad I stumbled across her. :)"

    "Halle created an experience for me that I have yet to forget. When I view the images that she so beautifully crafted, I get a sense of self. Not only are the pictures incredibly stunning, but that is also how I felt during the session. Halle made a space where you, as a person, felt so good. She allowed me to express and pose as I felt most confident. Her ideas were original, and the way she could come up with new ideas on the spot with confidence made her very fun to work with. Not only was she the best hype woman during the session, but also afterward… as she continued expressing her excitement for the photos we took. I have never felt more special or even more self-assured than I did from this experience. I wasn’t looking for typical senior pictures, and Halle made the model shoot of my dreams come true. Overall, Halle has the sweetest soul and aspires to give you the photo shoot you’ve always dreamed of; I know that is what she did for me. I will forever be thankful for the images and photoshoot experience she gave me. Halle will be my first thought when I need another photoshoot of ANY kind. Trust me, she is the photographer to book!”

    "While my time with Halle was very short, I wish we could’ve spent longer together. Her bubbly personality and creative nature helped me feel comfortable when being photographed for my senior photos. Halle and I had to reschedule our session many times, due to interfering issues in my schedule. She was ALWAYS understanding and worked with my schedule changes so well. My family, as well as myself, LOVED her like she was one of our own by the end of the session. The photos I received in a couple short weeks turned out magical. Never had I seen myself that way until she brought out my inner confidence! What an experience!!!”

  • TARYN L.

    "There are people that just show up and do their job and there are professionals who love what they do and master their craft. Halle is a true professional. The wind was a blowin’ in Kansas, but this young entrepreneur wasn’t frazzled. She embraced the moment and made it work for her and my daughter, Reece. The experience was incredible and I watched Halle bring out a different side of her. Reece was comfortable and in her element. I was honestly surprised when I met Halle. I didn’t realize she was a Halle I had known of for 17 years. I knew her family. She is young, but don’t let that fool you. This lady is WISE beyond her years. She knows who she is, what she wants, and sets boundaries. I was beyond impressed with my experience in hindsight and it showed the wisdom of someone in their late 30’s - 40’s, and to be honest in areas some never figure out. The images she captured were absolutely remarkable! Highly recommended!"

What I’m About

My approach is subtle and personal. I believe in leading with kindness and passion. Once I hear from you, we’ll set a date in our calendar. We’ll get a contract signed to secure your date and you’ll make a payment the day of. Lastly, you’ll receive your gallery and love your photos forever.

  • It's a vulnerable thing to be photographed. Focus on making memories and I'll handle the rest.

  • I value and promise realness through every step of this process.

  • I believe in being a master communicator. I routinely check and respond to emails and messages within my work hours to ensure we're always on the same page.

  • With me, you're destined to feel safe and appreciated. I celebrate all love and walks of life, believing every story deserves to be documented.

  • I’m always on-time and prepared, upholding our due dates and fulfilling my promises.

FAQ

  • Hell yeah! If you're not located in and around the Kansas City area, I do charge a small fee ($0.50/mile). Don't let this deter you though. I may have another photoshoot or wedding booked near you, so you can skip the fee. 

  • All payments are to be made by the day of your session. I take cash, check, Venmo, or credit/debit card. Really, whatever works best for you!

  • My return time depends on the season, but expect to receive your full gallery within 4-6 weeks. Don't worry, I'll send sneak peeks a few days after our time together.

  • I'm not all too strict on the number of outfits you bring along, but keep in mind that it does take some time to drive to our locations, walk to spots, and change into outfits, which takes away from the making. Keep it reasonable, and I'll keep us on time!

  • Of course! Make a note in your inquiry, and I'd be happy to share one with you.
