It is my favorite time of the year for senior photos! Fall offers the most beautiful scenery and the most comfortable temperatures. Preston Andrews had a gorgeous day for his senior photos and even got in a little golf 😉. He is quite an accomplished member of the golf team at Gretna East High School, having medaled in 8 of 10 varsity events last season. Most of his free time is also spent dedicated to mastering the game, but he makes sure to carve out time to spend with family and friends.

I am BEYOND excited to share these photos from Mikayla Roger's session. This Gretna High School senior is dazzling both on stage and off participating in color guard, band, jazz band, winter guard, choir, poetry slam, softball, one act, musical, powerlifting, and NHS. She has received many awards for competing in music contests, winter guard competitions, poetry slam bouts, softball tournaments, as well as receiving varsity letters for band. When she gets a moment to relax she likes to listen to music, read, and spend time with her friends and family. After graduation, Mikayla plans to attend the University of Northern Iowa to major in Interior Design and minor in Gerontology. She will also be performing with the color guard and winter guard throughout the year.
