Hannah :: Get On The Bus!
Hannah has that special sumpthin’ that makes you want to be her friend. She is magnetic. She’s got joie de vivre and je ne sais quoi and eyes that just don’t stop. She’s headed to the University of North Texas next year, where I am sure she will have a marvelous time! Who can resist her adorableness?
The Palace Barber Shop rules! This is my favorite image from Hannah’s session.
So frackin’ cute.
You know I am dying over these…divine!
Such a little firecracker, you are, Miss Hannah! Good luck, best wishes, and keep us updated!
that is one stylish gal! i want her clothes! : )
Hannah is so adorable. I love her. She is a wonderful girl who is full of light. I am proud to say that is my beautiful friend right there!
Great photography!!!
-Adam/Lauren
I can’t believe Hannah is all grown up. I am so proud of how beautiful she is inside and out. Hannah, you have become an amazing woman. Now go out there and get all that you ever dreamed of. I love you!
I love these! And I agree, the barber shop was super cool! Fabulous!
2008 Was My Favorite!
The 2nd year of Juxtapose Photography was phenomenal. I got to meet and learn about so many wonderful people through the lens and face to face. I am the luckiest girl in the world, and here’s the proof! Here is the slideshow of all of my favorite images (both personal and professional) from this past year.
To see the show, please click on the image below or this link! Then, hold your horses for a minute or so and let it load. Then, turn up your speakers and rock and roll!
SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALICOCIOUS!!!! Love it, love it, love it!!! And you, too!!! Mom

Jeanette
Holy Moly! Beautiful.
LOVE it! looks like 08 was an awesome year. we’re looking forward to seeing you in 09 as audrey grows.
Awesome Kate! We had so much fun with you in ‘08! Looking forward to ‘09!
What fun! We loved every frame, the music, the talent you display. Most of all though, we love YOU, and MILLIE and BOBBY and the Noops! Congrats on a fabulous year and an even better one for 2009!
Thanks for keeping capturing all of this AND making 2008 not look like the “kick in the crotch” I thought it was!
Katie :: Get On The Bus!
Miss Katie is about as classy as they come. She’s a senior at Lucas Christian Academy this year, and I predict great things for her future. Seriously, folks. She is more mature than I was at age 23. No lie.
Not only is she model-gorgeous, but Katie has a graceful ease about her that makes hanging out with her very enjoyable. She seems to be an old soul, and maybe that’s why I think she’s so darn cool. I can’t wait to see what she cooks up over the next few years…I know whatever it is will be good!
Love how she crosses her ankles in a shy sort of way.
What’s a better way to memorialize the construction of Downtown McKinney than to be photographed in the midst of it?!
Something about this next image just gets me. So darling!
I am starting a project involving senior girls called “Label Alley”. High school is such a defining stage in life when we are coexisting with labels that we have been given since elementary school. During this time of identity examination, we either cling to those labels or toss them aside. I loved getting to know Katie through this process, and finding out what she thought of herself and what others thought of her. Not everything she thought of herself was in line with her peers’ image of her, and to me, that makes for a very interesting discussion. Discovering which labels are clung to and which are transcended and why will be a fascinating study that I’ve been craving for a while. (Just so you know, I used to be a Psych Prof, so this isn’t totally coming out of left field!!!) Good times.
Rock on, Katie!
What a beautiful girl, inside and out. I am so excited to see what she does with her life!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the black and white triptych in the field! Gorgeous stuff. And your “labeling” project seems fascinating!
Katie is absolutely stunning. Her personality just pops off of these pictures. Great job, Kate!
Dear Kate, Thanks for doing such a great job with Katie! You absolutely captured her. She had a great time with you.
Fantastic Job on the pics! I wish I was in Texas so I could get mine done….
Kate. Your label project sounds amazing! I can’t wait to see more photos involving your project. It could make a great coffee table book….or art show. I used to be an art teacher so when you are ready to set up the exhibit let me know, I’ve organized just a few. 
Taylor :: Get On The Bus!
Taylor is a senior at Allen High School, and also happens to be the brother of a Juxtapose bride. Like his gorgeous sister, Heather, Taylor has definitely got good looks on his side. Plus, he is super sweet, a Southern gentleman, and he even put up with my bossiness for an hour. His girlfriend, Rachel, has him trained well.
Check him out!
Doing MacGyver, even though he doesn’t know who MacGyver is. I am so old.
Lovebirds!
Thanks so much, Taylor! I can’t wait to hear how your senior year finishes out and where you decide to go to college!
Thank you sooo much Kate for capturing Taylor’s natural expressions. He likes the black & whites. I like the laughing shots, they’re so Taylor. We can’t wait to see more of your fabulous work at Heather’s wedding next year! Gonna be fun!!!
[…] wait till August 1st. Why? I get to photograph the so-bubbly-she’s-effervescent Heather (Taylor’s sister) and the charming gentleman Chad’s […]
Lauren :: On The Bus!
Not only is she model-gorgeous, but she has an infectious laugh, is a wise old soul in a 17 year old body, and is as sweet as the chocolate shakes she loves so much. Lauren is pretty much an “It Girl” who doesn’t even know she is IT…which makes her even THAT much cooler.
A cheerleader, a musician, a fashionista, and a witty witty little thing, Lauren personifies juxtaposition. I beg you to try to put her in a box…Please try just so I can laugh at you! You can’t. She obeys all the rules while breaking them at the same time. I am so glad I got to photograph her at this pivotal point in her life…what an honor.
For her slammin’ slideshow, CLICK HERE.
Just one of my many faves from this session.
I have to thank Miss Sam at Rick’s Chophouse for her hospitality. She was so kind to let Lauren play their piano while I snapped some pics.
We have the same earrings…girlfriend’s got good taste!
Such an All American Girl!
If you are a slideshow kind of kid, CLICK HERE to see Miss Lauren do her thang.
Thanks, Lauren, for a fun Saturday afternoon adventure, and I wish you all the best in your very bright future…keep me updated!
Beautiful! My fav is the 3rd from the last with her dancing in the sunlight. Just stunning! Great photos Kate!
WOW!!! She is STUNNING!! Miss Kate, you are back and better than ever, girl…these pics really ROCK!!! I have three faves…..the one of Lauren in the red booth, the one with her CC earrings….love the light, and the one of her playing the piano is AWESOME!!!
do you ever get tired of being a genius behind the lens?
didn’t think so!
these are so great kate! that rhymes. cool!
i am sure she is going to LOVE these!
These are awesome!!
love IT!
As always awesome job. I love the first one and really like the juke box one too and the one above the earring image. You rocked it girl! One day I have to have you take pictures for me
Those are soo cute!
what a precious girl! and your images…great!
So, Seriously. Get On The Bus!
So, as seen in Mattie, Lindsey, & Taylor’s sessions, this ain’t your average senior portrait session. The Get On The Bus! session can take you anywhere. Here’s how we get from point A to B:
~Email me at kate@juxtaposephotography.com.
~Get your deposit (the full amount of $500) and portrait contract back to me and we will set up your appointment (date & time, location TBD).
~We’ll strike up a friendship during which I will find out eleventy million things about you so that I can draw some inspiration for your concepts and locations.
~Unlike a lot of photographers, I DO NOT use catch-all locations. EVERY SINGLE PORTRAIT SESSION IS COMPLETELY CUSTOMIZED. I don’t reproduce poses or ideas unless you have a clone that also books me, and due to scientific advances or the lack thereof, I highly doubt that will happen. =)
~We will talk about clothing and accessories and anything that you need to be totally yourself in front of the camera. I LOVE this part. Please feel free to totally take advantage of my fashion background.
~On the day of the session, we will feel like old friends departing on an adventure. We will hit up various spots that reflect who you are as a person and just hang.
~Don’t forget, you can also do your session WITH YOUR FRIENDS if you want to. Extravert…introvert…whatever you may be, I already lurve ya.
~After the session, you get a blog sneak peek, a full online gallery, a cd of a boatload of retouched images, shared copyrights, printing recommendations, and some killer un-wallets. None of that cheesy gold embossing stuff here.
~Dates are already filling up, so if you want to get in before your senior year is ovah, holla back and GET ON THE BUS!
Your photography is such an inspiration to me! This Get on The Bus campaign is fresh and creative. I am sure you will book up fast!
i’m not a senior. in fact, i’m far from. but amidst the chaos and florida… wanna point a camera at me?
My junior year of high school, I took pictures with my two best friends-oh the CHEESIENESS!!!! hands under the chin and every thing, we looked at these and wish you were around in -gulp- 1994! So fabulous-again.
I’m ready to book you in 2020 when my oldest daughter will be a senior. Please mark your calendar!!
Taylor :: On The Bus
Little baby Tay-Tay. This “Busdriver” may be the most juxtaposed of the three. It’s hard to put your finger on what is special about Taylor, but upon meeting her, you just know that she has that je ne sais quoi. With a twinkle in her eye, she is simultaneously elegant and childlike…very Holly Golightly without the inner angst.
This All-American girl could not be any busier. Not only is she academically inclined, but she is a track star, volleyball playah, and a cheerleader. How does she have time to keep herself together? Who knows, but she does. She does it all with a smile. Some say she’s high voltage like that.
OMG…that’s $1 in the cuss bucket, BUT golly dang it just keeps getting better and better and better and better…
why can i not go back in time and have you do my senior pictures! These rock sister! I want you to shoot me in florida. Except i’m a freak in front of the camera…just a warning. 
Hey, Tay Tay…..You are gorgeous!!!! High voltage is an understatement!!! Get on the bus, girlfriend!
Miss Taylor is STUNNING!! Love, love, love these pics!!!
Wow, these are fantastic! You capture it all Kate!
OMG the jumper and are those Dockside boat shoes? Adorable. I love the Blue Doors in these. It’s so basic and primary and makes these hotties just POP!
These are awesome my friend. You are an amazing photographer!!!
Mattie :: On The Bus
Oh, Mattie…the girl who inspired the Get On The Bus! campaign for 2008. I love her like a family member, partially because I have known her since she was born. She is part of a beautiful all-blonde sister trio that looks like miniature versions of their hot mama, Melissa.
Though she may be gorgeous on the outside, she is just as stunning on the inside. Such a sweetie, that Mattie is. She is very involved in her church youth group (go Brenham Presbyterian Church!), is a cheerleader, and also is quite the scholar. Word on the street is that she is heavily considering Texas A&M, but we shall see…wherever she ends up, she will be turning heads and impressing profs, no doubt.
Leave Miss Mattie a Holla Back, y’all!
Thanks Mary Ann & Gayle & Bobby & Mom & Julie & Stacy and anyone who I missed who commented but was deleted by my stupid hosting company on accident while moving servers. Hummmph.
Kate………….the girls had so much fun with your shoot. For a few hours, they fancied themselves, Tyra Banks.
Your Juxstaposed site is so fun to navigate around in. Just the right amound of flare!!! Wow…..
talk about someone who is all grown up………..and I mean the photographer, this time!!
Love ya…….
Well, Mattie….since my Holla Back mysteriously flew into cyberspace….I’ve got to say it again…You’re the one….absolutely beautiful. I love you!!! Get on the bus, girl!
Holy cow! You captured those amazing blue eyes beautifully! These are Senior pictures like I have never seen!
Stunning - simply stunning! These are celebrity worthy shots - beautiful and fun with a ton of personality!
[…] Kate added an interesting post on Lindsey :: On The BusHere’s a small excerptWittier than the day is long, Lindsey drops dry jokes like Kanye drops hits. What I love, though, is that she isn’t afraid to laugh at herself. And laugh. And laugh. And laugh. She laughs with her entire being until everyone around her … […]
Get On The Bus (Seniors 2008)!
And by Seniors, I don’t mean senior citizens. Although I loves me some oldsters and quasi-grannies, the seniors I photograph have more sass than Blanche and Sophia combined and THEN SOME.
Meet Mattie, Taylor, & Lindsey. Get to know them and love them over these next few posts, and be assured that this Get On The Bus campaign is gonna take your butt to town!
Thanks Luke & Chriselda & Julie & Mom & Gayle & everyone else whose comments were sucked into cyberspace by the monster that is Blu Hosting.
Cue-oot! Love em! Way to go!
what a fun shoot!! i love the one of all 3 in the car. so sassy!
BYU-tiful
Meet Lanae! Her mom, Tammy, is the owner of The Cake Stand in Downtown McKinney, & is one of my favorite vendors!
Though Lanae just left last weekend to head out to Utah for college, we managed to capture her personality in a nutshell before the big moving day! She’s intelligent, elegant, and has a dash of whimsy…super fun and darling to boot…we wish you the very best, Lanae! Good luck at BYU!
Beautiful girl and fabulous photos!
Kate!! These are GREAT!! You are an amazing photographer if you can make me look that decent!! lol. Thank you SO so much! I loved every minute of it!

Thanks Stacy, Jamie, & E-dawg!
Lanae~I am sooo pleased that you like your photos! You are gorgeous, girl!

Kate - INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!! You’ve captured Hannah perfectly and we can’t thank you enough for these images that we can share with our family and friends! These photos are beautiful!
