Kentucky Student Shares Stephen King's IT-Inspired Senior Pics

Senior photos are a rite of passage, correct? I remember when I was wrapping up my high school career at Daviess County High School, all of my classmates were having their official senior photos taken. I never did. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because I couldn't think of a good reason to pose on a tree stump or by a shrub or holding my Trapper Keeper. LOL! No, I was perfectly content settling for the photos they just took at school. And I got two really good photos out of that shoot. I got one where I was smiling and another where I looked seriously, mysteriously past the camera and sucked in my cheekbones. I told my friends that was my "sex god" pose. When it came time to exchange photos with my friends, I asked them, "Chad or sex god?" Yes, that was, hilariously, my photo pitch.

Well, senior pictures just took it up a couple of notches. Brooke Keller, who's a senior at Owensboro High School, just shared some of her senior photos and they're absolutely brilliant and REALLY creepy.

Samantha Tooley, who owns Tooley Photography here in town, has a "senior team." That team gets to do senior photos throughout the year in a variety of concept shoots. They get to do shoots for Christmas, traditional photos with their caps and gowns, a "paint war" shoot and, of course, a Halloween spread.

Brooke absolutely careered the latter! For Halloween. she chose to do a photo shoot inspired by Stephen King's IT. Take a look! She and Samantha recreated some of the film's most iconic images.

As Samantha says, "These are so fun! I love the traditional senior pictures but these concept shoots really make their senior years unique!" There's no doubt about it.

Brooke, by the way, is a member of the National Honor Society and plays for the Owensboro High School softball team.
