Owen is a senior at Bolivar High School. He has been throwing shot put for over 6 years now. He’s gone to state the past two years as well. Owen is one of the kindest men out there, he is always wearing a smile on his face. So don’t let the big muscle appearance fool you for who Owen really is.

The Bolivar High School Class of 2026 graduates this Sunday and that means it’s time to celebrate! Why not kick things off in front of BHS with a bestie photoshoot with your graduating friends?!

Tessa is the kind of person who celebrates everyone else so easily and its time to put the spotlight on her.

Kai is going to Mizzou. Sophie is going to Missouri State. We’ve got to celebrate!

These two friends have spent so much time together inside bolivar high school — we even did their cap and gown session at Bolivar High School!

Kai showed up to her cap and gown session in a yellow dress and Sophie showed up in white. Both Bolivar High School Class of 2026 seniors.

Sophie Stimpson came to her senior photos at the Bolivar Middle School track in her Liberators uniform with a stack of medals that covered most of her track uniform. Royal blue and gold, neon green Saucony spikes still showing their wear, and hardware from years of running in the 417.

Emma showed up to her senior session at Dunnegan Park in Bolivar, Missouri before the sun was fully up, already moving like the day couldn’t start without her. Denim overalls over a floral camisole, white Converse, her natural curly hair down. She walked straight to the wooden bridge railing and leaned in, and the session went from there.

A lot of Bolivar High School students showed up to celebrate prom at the gazebo this year. Eisley, Sophie, and Emma showed up to the gazebo in Bolivar in full prom looks on April 25th — colorful dresses, hair done, completely ready. Makenzie had the camera.

Prom photos are a small window. You are dressed, and you have people you care about next to you.

These Bolivar prom photos are from a Bolivar High School group session at a private home in Bolivar, MO and by the time the camera showed up, the group was already fully in it. Corsages going on, suits getting their last-minute checks, everyone hanging out on a property with rolling green lawn and redbud trees coming in pink at the edges. The stone patio was completely soaked. The covered porch was dry. You can guess which one they picked.

Aileen is a Class of 2026 senior and a painter, and she brought both of those things to her session at the studio! She walked in with her canvases, her brushes, her palette full of dried acrylic, and a floral corset top she wore like she painted in it regularly. She probably does.

Emma here! I may be a little biased because one of these guys is my boyfriend, but I think this session turned out really well. Sam and his best friend Logan are both Bolivar High School seniors, and when I asked if they wanted to do their session together at the gym, they were on board.

This BFF senior session in Bolivar, MO was shot by Eisley and she took Ellaina and Tessa to Dunnegan Memorial Park in Bolivar, MO at golden hour. Bolivar has a beautiful park that is full of gorgeous spots. What more can you ask for?

Stockton Lake sits about 30 minutes from Bolivar in the Missouri Ozarks and it is the kind of place that makes a senior road trip session feel like an actual event.

Meet Kami, a senior at Bolivar High School and such a joy to have in the studio. She came in as a friend of our newest team member Emma, and what started as a portfolio-building session turned into one of those shoots where everything just clicks. I'm obsessed.

As an athlete myself, something that is super important to me when taking sports pictures is being able to capture the strength, focus, and courage that comes with being an athlete. Ella did a perfect job of modeling these attributes with this sports senior session!

Ellaina Porter is a Bolivar High School senior and we jumped out of the studio to get some photos on the square. The Bolivar Square is one of those spots that looks like it was made for golden hour: brick buildings, old storefronts, warm light cutting through at exactly the right angle when the sun starts to drop behind downtown.

Ellaina Porter is a Bolivar High School senior and she walks into a room like she owns it. Her session at Jordan Brittley Studio was an athletic studio session and she came ready to move the whole time: jacket, poses, energy.

Eisley is such a joy and I really wanted this mini snow day session to bring that out while also capturing her soft, introspective side.

It’s been so fun to get to know her as she has worked with me (Hi, Jordan here!) at the studio. She is kind, thoughtful, super fun and down for trotting through the frigid temps for some snowy senior photos.

Sophie is such a talented, bright young woman and I wanted to capture that inner confidence that is being grown in her each day.

This friend group was so fun and Eisley did such a great job of bringing out their personalities. I am obsessed with the hands-making-hearts pose and the individual pics on the stool
