Bumping
into old friends is always a cool thing, and that's exactly what
happened to me a week ago Thursday when we photographed Katelyn Kunkle's
senior session. This young lady is the FIFTH senior from this single
Marshalltown family that I've had the opportunity to photograph. I
figure that there can't be too many that have had MORE over the years...
so their loyalty is impressive... to say the least.
The run of Kunkle kids began in our first year of digital photography in 2002 when brother Brandon visted as a member of the MHS class of '03. Ashley followed in '04, then Tiffany in '05 and THEN we took one whole year off before continuing in '07 with April. It's been a little bit of a Kunkle-drought since then, but we came back with a vengeance when Katelyn walked in the door.
Three cute outfits... a gorgeous day and toss in the family pup, "Lady" once again... and we were set for an amazing set of images.
But wait! That's not all!
If we go back even FURTHER... to the year 1996.... a young East Marshall lad by the name of Brett McBain had HIS senior images done by a very green photographer back in the day. One of four siblings that we photographed from THAT clan, Brett made his triumphant return to the studio on this day as well.
An aspiring photographer himself now, Brett had contacted me back in the spring about maybe getting to sit in on a session with me to pick my brain and see how things were done... I figured what better family to ask then a FIVE-TIME offender like the Kunkles? The graciously accepted and Katelyn got the benefit of having an extra set of hands on board for the job.
My hope is that not only did Katelyn have fun with her session... but also Brett learned a thing or two along the way. It was a fulfilling day to be sure... It's always nice to see clients return... and it's nice to give back to the profession that's given so much to me over the years.
