A Heartfelt Conversation About a Beautiful Father-Son Relationship

I’ve photographed this wonderful family many times but this time was unique. For a personal project to celebrate of Father’s Day, we asked Nick and Luke to come back into the portrait studio [http://flagstaffportraits.com] and the podcast studio [https://kdiphotography.com/innerportraitpodcast] to pay tribute not only to their first real portrait together, but to their father son relationship over time. Wow. We absolutely loved what they had to share.

How to Enjoy the Lasts & Firsts of Senior Year

Mayla was just a toddler when I first met her but she was, as she is today, ready to grab onto life and do ALL the things! She was sweet and smiley and full of energy. So it makes sense that her mother describes her now as someone who “has so many patches on her letterman jacket that she looks like a NASCAR driver.” She is a busy lady. I get the sense that she doesn’t want to waste her time. She wants to get everything out of life that she can, and not miss a thing. Several months after her  [https://kdiphotography.com/senior-portrait-photos-in-flagstaff/]senior portrait session [https://kdiphotography.com/senior-portrait-photos-in-flagstaff], we sat down to talk about this transformative year.

Being Present - Part 2

In our earlier episode, I talked with Alex and Charlie about Addie's senior session. Here in part two, I sat down with Addie herself to have a lighthearted conversation about senior year, sibling differences, piggyback rides, creativity, her advice for enjoying high school, and even a dose or two of ASMR [https://www.brownhealth.org/be-well/asmr-what-it-and-how-it-could-help-you-relax].
