I am Colette and I am in LOVE.
Yes, I am happily married, but I am also in love with photography. ;)
Photographs have always been an important part of my life. My family absolutely loves to take photos for every single life event. My sisters and I each have piles of personalized photo albums bursting with memories organized from birth through high school--thanks to my lovely mother! I didn’t think about photography as a serious career choice for me until I took a photography class in college for fun, and instantly fell in love with it! I quickly updated my major to photography and later added a graphic design major and business minor before I graduated in 2012.
I grew up in a small rural town in Missouri and now live outside of Kansas City with my high-school sweetheart turned husband Michael. As well as running Colette Waters Photography, I am the Photo and Marketing Specialist at Hoffman International Model and Talent Agency in Leawood, KS. I love both of my photography jobs and feel my experience in the model-world gives my photography style a fashion flare. I love capturing movement in my photographs to convey emotions, and always want my clients to have FUN! :D
I also love being creative and recently had a vision of a woodsy, enchanted-feeling orchard wedding. After much thought and planning, I brought together a group of talented people to make it all happen, making this apple themed wedding photo shoot one of my favorite photo shoots ever! I hope you see all of the love we put into this shoot at beautiful Cider Hill Family Orchard in Kansas City.
