Senior Pictures at KU
Kate | Santa Fe Trail High School
When Kate’s mom contacted us, she knew one thing for certain; Kate wanted her senior pictures at KU. We were excited to explore the largest university in the state of Kansas and create stunning senior portraits along the way.
To start, we had Kate sit on the stairs of an old building made of red stone, which just happened to be next to a grove of beautiful green trees.
Senior Portraits on an old Stone Bench
We fell in love with an old stone bench and moss-covered wall just outside the library. Kate laid down and looked ethereal in her navy blue floral dress. Then she played around in the archway under the library’s main entrance. The wrought iron sunflower behind her evoked the feeling of an abandoned cathedral.
Portraits in a Fountain
As we explored KU’s sprawling campus, we found an ancient fountain with crystal blue waters. Naturally, Kate threw her hair up, jumped in, and gave us a bright smile!
Senior Pictures on an Old Staircase
The fountain was in the middle of a long abandoned roundabout built for carriages. Behind it was an old iron gate that led to a long stone staircase. For her portraits on the stairs Kate threw on some distressed jeans, a black tank top, and a black hat.
Reflective Glass Portraits
Although KU is known for it’s old architectural treasures, we found the modern Field House building to be extremely beautiful, and perfect for a senior portrait backdrop. Kate posed around with the massive walls of glass, her pinstriped jumper echoing the vertical lines in the building. This Kansas senior definitely has a big city chic side!
Senior Pictures with Prairie Grass
We chose the rust covered walls of the Agriculture building for the final area of Kate’s senior pictures. She put her favorite outfit back on and looked incredible among the warm golden tones of the tall prairie grass surrounding the building.
Kate, we had an amazing time photographing you, and hope you enjoy every single one of your gorgeous senior pictures!
