I met with Jarod on his family’s property in Smithville, MO last fall for his senior session.  I love that he wanted pictures of his family’s home, and to showcase the beautiful property they live on.  We spent the afternoon walking the property, finding unique spots, and capturing his photos in a location that meant […]
