kale's senior session

Kale's session is one that we looked forward to for many reasons, even before it was scheduled. We've known his family for several years, and we've recently been able to see his creative talents and the person he is becoming. It's equally shocking and inspiring to see some of his Facebook updates because he has such a great faith and wants to share it with everyone. Sometimes I find myself wondering where in the world he came from, and other times I'm just speechless—in a good way. 

The location was another reason Dan and I looked forward to this session. We started indoors with a serious smorgasbord of textures and colors. After that, the weather was nice enough to check out the (mostly) abandoned buildings next door. Throw in Kale's fun ideas, some trespassing, a little climbing, and trekking through the snow, and you have one hilarious and memorable session. 

Oh, and I can't forget to mention the cool shoes. His had purple on them, but I wonder if they come in turquoise...

If the authorities come looking for us, we have proof that Kale entered first! Funny enough, Dan and I both work for the company that used to be here. If we were caught, Dan's plan was to flash his company hat and jacket to say, "Hey, we work here!" HA!

 

After Kale sat in the metal piece (on the right), we asked him to climb on top of it for the shot on the left. It was a HUGE, cone-shaped thing. I think it was worth it, but I wasn't the one 10 feet high on a rocking metal cone.  

Kale: We're blessed to know you and to capture such an important part of your life. We can't wait to see where life takes you next.

Thanks for bringing your ideas to the table, and for trying some new things. Hope you like what you've seen so far. :)
