The gorgeous Katie… a 2013 senior at Truman High School. And also the daughter of my moms best friend. I haven’t seen Katie since last Christmas, and holy moly.. when she got out of her car I was thinking she hired a model fill-in. Katie is so gorgeous, so grown up and a very fun spirited girl, and I was so shocked to see her hair length had past mine. And a blondie too!

So we started shooting on the square in Independence with beautiful color and textures, but once we made it to the horse stables where Katie kept her baby Paint… I was smitten with the details and the beautiful fall colors. So I wanted to show you all this lovely place located in Independence, Missouri just down the road from me. I would have never known it was there.. but coincidentally we were just at this barn the weekend before with our Banana Who? photo booth for the Chamber of Commerce employee party.  I will definitely be keeping it in mind for horse back riding, or photo opportunities. Congrats to the very fun Katie, as she finished her last year of high school.

Oh how funny this last shot of the day was. Talk about perfect timing. It was almost as if he was sending me off after annoying him all day.
