Wauwatosa West High School | class of 2021 seniors | Janessa
Once in a while you meet that family that not only do you love and adore, but EVERYONE else does too. The Keenans are that family. And let me tell you, Janessa is a key part of that family. She is the middle daughter of three. She is a strong athlete, academic and a kindhearted young woman.
World, allow me to introduce Janessa from the Wauwatosa West High School class of 2021.
Before I share the rest of her amazing senior portraits (a real stunner, this one!), allow me to take you for a nice stroll down memory lane. I’ve been photographing the Keenans since I opened the doors of Stories Framed Photography.
Janessa, this is your life. Well, since 2012 anyway.
