Sophie.

The last of the Kuchenbuchs is graduating high school!! I’m sad to be done shooting their senior portraits, now I just have to sit back and wait for their weddings, I guess. 😍

Effortless beauty.

The second that hat went on, she transformed to big sis, Camryn!!  😍

Those mile long legs!

I said way too much, “Ughhhhh! Why are you so pretty?!”

She looks like a perfect paper doll and it was hard to just choose only 4 of my favorites. 😩

Sophie is so damn funny. I told her to go stand in that light patch. She ran over and literally jumped into the spot and dramatic flung her head to me, “Like this?!” Yes, perfect. 🤣😆

It’s always a battle in my head whether to use the falling sun to backlight or light the face. I typically choose backlight for that sexy bokeh, but that golden glow is so pretty too!

Again. I just really never know whats going to happen when I’m shooting kids I know personally. They’re so comfortable that theres zero hesitation of being themselves. 😍 So mid conversation just flinging her leg up, not really shocking but still unexpected! 🤣 I love you. 🤣

Nico was gushing over your beauty and how you look WAY older than 17! (He’s not wrong!🥴) This shot on the right in particular had him saying, she HAS to be in her mid 20s!!

Her and Lex kept quoting this silly line over and over. You’re adorable!

Stun.ning. I really appreciate your confidence, whether you acknowledge it’s there or not. You move like you are 100% comfortable in your skin and I love that because that’s so important in portraits.

Great use of those arms! It’s slightly annoying that even when you’re trying to act stupid, you still look so damn gorgeous. 🙄

Mother hen, Alex, wandered with us to be her glam squad. Which she didn’t even need because it’s impossible to take a bad picture of ANY of you Kuchenbuch girls! But I’m so glad I got to see your face too, Lex!

First of all, thanks Martha for being our chauffeur! It’s so much easier hoppin in and out and not dealing with parking! All you girls are always so fun to be around! It’s bittersweet to see you all so grown! Looking forward to whats next in all your lives! 😍Heart, Melanie
