2015 Prairie Ridge Senior | Michael Linder

Prairie Ridge Senior Portraits by Ryan Klos

Often, guys are hesitant to get their senior portraits made. Maybe they’re just apathetic. Many times they do it just so mom will stop asking. Michael wasn’t super excited to do his portraits either, but he humored us and even ended up managing to enjoy himself by the end. Over all he and his mom are both very happy with our session—and so am I. We shot on the Woodstock square and Emricson Park for two different looks and captured some genuine smiles and senior portraits worth hanging on the wall.

Pageant Headshots | Allison Royer

Pageant Headshots by Ryan Klos

I first met Allison in 2014 when her mom contacted me about doing headshots for a pageant Allison was entering. We got together and had a lot of fun shooting two hours worth of headshots in ideally warm summer light.

The photos turned out great, but what stuck with me was how much fun we had. Allison was up for trying anything, even if we weren’t sure the end result would be quite what we expected. It always makes a session more fun when my clients are willing to experiment a little.

But here’s the most important part: As a result of my headshots, Allison took third place in the Ms. Photogenic portion of the pageant! How awesome is that? I’m honored to have been a part of that.

Fast forward one year and we’re doing headshots for the pageant again. This time we shot on the Woodstock square for an urban look and feel vs. the farm as with her 2014 headshot portrait session. And agin, the results were stunning thanks to Allison’s radiant smile and confidence in front of the camera. Best of luck this year, Allison!

2015 Woodstock North HS Senior | Ashley Jones

Woodstock Senior Portraits by Ryan Klos Photography

Woodstock North Ashley Jones is one of those people whose enthusiasm and personality are contagious. In a good way, of course. She’s involved in all kinds of school activities and sports at Woodstock North and has a heart for helping others (she’s even raising a therapy/service dog named Theo). Her session took place at my Bull Valley Farm location in the early spring and was full of fun, laughter and authentic smiles.

Next step: she’s headed to McHenry County College for two years and has been recruited to play on the Scots women’s basketball team! Congrats and best of luck, Ashley!
