About Me...


Hello and welcome to my photo blog! My name is Theresa Noll-Thompson. I am a Kansas girl, born and bred. I love everything about Kansas (except for the humidity).


I am married to the love of my life, Mark, and we have three beautiful kids; William, Laura, and Andrew. My children were the inspiration for my business name; WilLaDrew Photography. Using each of their nick names, Will, Lala and Drew, my business name was born.


Photography had always been a hobby, nothing I studied formally. In 2006 I bought a "real" camera and started photographing everything. In 2007 I was asked to photograph my first wedding. A month later I photographed my second wedding. In 2008 I decided it was time to turn this hobby of mine into a part time adventure. I still work full time in corporate america, but my love is photography.


Unposed, candid moments is what I prefer to photograph. I shoot outside, using nature for my backdrop and the sunlight as my softbox. Check out my photo gallery and some of my art work. If you see something you like, post a comment and let me know. If you'd like to schedule a session, send me an email or give me a call. Thanks for coming by! :0)

Photographing Miss Kahli...

I just love photographing high school seniors.  It's an exciting time in their life as they begin to make plans for their future.  This past Sunday I had the honor of photographing Miss Kahli for her Senior portraits.



Kahli is a beautiful young lady, with the most amazing smile and incredible eyes.  Kahli is a Senior this year at Olathe South High School.  She is a pitcher for her high school's softball team and plans on going into nursing after graduating next Spring.


We held the first part of our shoot just outside of Baldwin at Black Jack.  Black Jack has these impressive maple trees lined up in rows.  The trees used to be tapped for the production of maple syrup, back during the civil war era.  The trees make a fabulous backdrop for a photograph; Add Miss Kahli to those trees and you have beautiful portrait.



The last half of our shoot was held in Vinland on a private farm.  We took advantage of all the natural backdrops and captured some great shots.  In this part of the shoot we pulled in Kahli's boyfriend Scott.  Scott just returned home from a recent tour in Iraq.  Scott is enlisted in the Army and stationed in Ft. Hood.  (Thank you for your service Scott!) 



It took a little coaxing for Scott to warm up, but all I had to do was ask him to look and Kahli and he would smile every time.  All in all, it was a fun afternoon and we captured some really great shots.  Thank Miss Kahli for sharing your day with me.  :0)

How's Kahli now? She probably made plans for her life and started doing 'em after her senior years. Did she keep these portraits? Both of you will remember each other and the moments you shared whenever you see these… You should do another photo session! I'm sure her smile hasn't changed a bit!
