K. Z. Wentzel Photography

You know you’re in for a great retirement celebration when you approach the spot where you're scheduled to meet an honoree and her family and you're greeted by a crowd of at least 35 smiling faces! 😁 This amazing Senior Master Sergeant finished out her career with a standing ovation from an absolutely packed house in the auditorium at Mt. Vernon. She has clearly touched a lot of lives and will continue to do so as she moves on to a new career in advocacy. Congratulations!!!

There are so many grand, historic places in this region, but sometimes the best setting for portraits is a local favorite steeped in family memories. 😍🌿

I have had the pleasure of photographing this sweet family since they were first expecting their oldest! Time has flown. Both boys were wiggly and having a hard time smiling on command, so we had to get creative - finding ways to help them move and show us those adorable grins! Photographing kids can be a challenge, but it’s one I am always happy to take on. The portraits and the memories are always worth the effort! ❤️

Senior portraits are not just for capturing pretty pictures for announcements and emotional social media posts counting down to graduation. They’re a way to celebrate each student’s unique personalities, passions, and what makes them positively awesome! 🤩 Nothing makes me happier than when clients come armed with ideas and props. This young lady reportedly celebrated MANY birthdays with a “How to Train Your Dragon” theme, so naturally Toothless needed to make an appearance in her portraits. 🐉
