Jack's Senior Session | Shawnee Mission Park


Jack’s senior session at Shawnee Mission Park was such a fun and memorable one! The evening was filled with light, laughter, and a few special guests — his dog, Waylon, and his fireman gear that represents his future path.

We started the session in one of Shawnee Mission Park’s beautiful grassy fields. The soft, natural light made for the perfect backdrop as Jack relaxed into the session. Waylon joined in for a few photos, and it was easy to see how strong their bond is — those candid moments between them were some of my favorites.


After the field, we made our way down to the dock for portraits. The calm water and warm tones created such a peaceful ending to the evening. Jack brought along his fireman gear, which added a meaningful touch and really captured this exciting time in his life.

Jack, congratulations on your senior year! It was an honor getting to document this season for you — and of course, meet Waylon, too.
