Iva >> 2017 Crossville Senior

Iva decided to do her senior pictures on her grandparents’ farm, and I loved the idea– especially after I saw how beautiful the place was! This wasn’t my first foray into farm senior portraits. You might remember Andrew‘s session I shared on Flag Day, or 2015 seniors Heather and Jackson. I love these sessions because not only are they more personal for my seniors, they also give me an opportunity to shoot in new locations and challenge me to think outside the box of my usual shots!

We had so many options when it came to shooting on the farm, and each one helped us achieve a different look. We found some gorgeous flowers that perfectly complimented Iva’s floral dress and of course I had my eye on the swimming pool from the moment I arrived 😉 I think my favorite shots are the ones we took in the front yard with Iva in a cream colored sweater (which she actually got from her grandmother– how cute is that?) and suede skirt. To me, the images just look so Ivy League– like we shot on the grounds of Harvard or Yale (someone PLEASE make this happen for me!!)

Iva was worried that her denim-on-denim look would be overboard, but I absolutely loved it and thought it looked great for the more traditionally farm-y images we shot last. Of course we had to include hay bales, a wooden fence and a stunning green field. Also, we were #blessed with the most stunning sunset light as we wrapped up shooting in the field. I couldn’t leave without at least asking if Iva wanted to take a dip in the pool for me. She was totally game and even dived in for our last couple of shots! I couldn’t have asked for a more fun, easy going client and I’m so glad Iva chose to be a KC Photo senior!
