What is your farm toy story?National Farm Toy show Days is a toy show that features toys catered to the farming and ranching communities. These toys are often sold in local farm and ranch supply stores and are a big part of the life of a farming/ranching family. The National Farm Toy Show Days will be held on Novemer 1st-3rd, 2024 in Dyersville Iowa. Imagine this......You live in a rural or farm/ranch setting and It is your child's birthday. Your parents come to the party and after the cake and Birthday wishes it is time to open the gifts. Your child opens the gift from your parents and they have gifted your child an heirloom ride on pedal tractor or cast toy, a Breyer or Schleich Horse barn and horses, or their first ERTL farm set to add to your collection that you had as a child, and your parents tell you they saved your toys for you to pass down to your children. You had no idea they had done this for you. You look at them and remember all the wonderful memories growing up of your mom and dad "playing farm" with you and tears start to well up in your eyes. ![]() Those toys mean more to you than you knew, right? Well, because we know these "toys" (whether you are a collector, a family who carries sentimental value with these "toys" as they are passed down from generation to generation, or have a business that sells farm toys) are an investment, we want to give you a reminder. How would you feel if you had photos of your dad or mom playing with these toys with you (or your grandparents) that you could pass down with the toys to help tell the story. Imagine in three generations how important those photos would be to the story of your farm toys and how they have impacted your family! Remember to document and include these types of investments in your family photos! Heirloom toys and sentimental pieces are a great way to tell a family story. If you have a farm toy collection or even just a few special toys that have been passed down and would like to have beautiful photos to help tell their story, contact us and we would be glad to help. Buy the toys, tell your story through photography and help future generations understand how important those little memories were to your family. Whether you possibly have a collection of toys that was passed down from your grandfather, collect farm toys yourself or maybe even have big boy toys or antique tractors? We can help create your story with those as well. Keeping the traditions alive is how we stay connected and leave our legacy for our future generations. Now that corn harvest is over, this is the best time to get those fall family photos, photos of you with your collection or marketing photos for your farm toy business! Contact us at 1-620-309-8437 or [email protected] to book your "FARM TOY" session!

When it comes to weather, southwest Kansas can be a bit tricky. When Juanita arrived for her Senior session we discussed rescheduling due to an incoming storm. We told her we could go ahead and try to get her session finished before the incoming storm, or we could reschedule for another day. She opted to go ahead with her session despite the storm. Her session began with beautiful sunshine at a countryside location. For her first outfit she wore a white sundress amongst the prairie grass, cactus and wildflowers, which allowed for a multitude of looks in one location. Next she chose to be a bit more modern and edgy. Because she wore a red silk slip dress and her school colors are red and black, we decided to go with a more urban feel and photograph her with textures, grays and black to complete the school pride vibe. Adding our fluffy vintage chair created a more youthful and playful vibe, while staying more minimalistic with a black storefront building provided a more mature look. It is great when we can include various moods, expressions and posing styles to complete our client's Senior gallery and show multiple sides of their personality. As the storm arrived and it began to rain, we noticed raindrops and satin do not mix, lol, we were getting soaked so we moved indoors to a local business and grabbed a quick drink. Then Juanita changed into her final outfit for the day. With no end of the storm in sight, we encouraged her to finish her session if possible in the rain, with a chance of a surprise at the end! We used the surrounding buildings and colors to our advantage to sneak in a couple more looks. It was getting dark earlier due to cloud coverage and the rain was getting stronger so we knew we had to be quick! Juanita really wanted photos in a sunflower field. We explained to her that there are not many sunflowers around here, especially this late in the summer, however, we knew just where a perfect "sunflower patch" was that would work perfectly! As we rushed to the country again, we had to beat the storm. Even though it seemed like an inconvenience, WE KNEW it would work out to our advantage and make for some AMAZING and unique photos. As she jumped out to pose quickly we told her to "just play, dance and imagine she was dancing in the rain exactly like she would have as a child." And....dance she did! We even caught a rainbow! The moral learned from this Senior Session was.......DON'T EVER LET THE LITTLE INCONVENIENCES IN LIFE "RAIN ON YOUR PARADE." EVERYTHING happens for a reason and it may just result in an even more spectacular outcome than you had hoped for when all is said and done! If you would like to have your own King Luxe Senior experience,
message or call us for more details and a digital copy of your very own Senior Welcome Guide! Can it get more classy than this? Living in the Midwest means your location options for Senior photos can be limited, however, we have a unique perspective that can make any location look amazing! Because we really get to know the individual qualities of our clients and because offer a wide array of props, backgrounds and accessories from our style closet, we are able to create a custom session with photos YOU really want. This young lady decided to take advantage of the country landscape. Miss Mykenzie Kolb, Tyrone Oklahoma high school Senior, showed up during her first of three Senior sessions scheduled throughout her last year of high school! From picking wildflowers to tossing hats, she laughed and kicked her way through a half of day of adventure. Hats off to you for trusting us with all of our crazy ideas Mykenzie. Her smile was contagious as she took a stroll down dirt roads and danced in the wind with cardigan wrap. Mykenzie said her day was more than she expected and she can't wait for her next session in October. We soon realized Mykenzie has a knack for posing naturally. This is going to be a fun year! Showing multiple expressions was important, as Mykenzie will be creating a luxury album that was included with the collection she chose at the end of the year. We captured everything from Classy and daydreams, to laughter and even a little sassy in this session. The green trees and vibrant skies help to set a moody scene, while the golden prairie grasses and light skies created a softer, more elegant feel to some of her photos. Because the lighting was changing all day due to cloud coverage, and we were able to create various looks in one session, which we love! When it comes to Mykenzie's first session, we would describe this one as Keeping it Classy in the Country!
