Kat: Winter’s Senior Rep

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

Finally, right?  I’ve been looking forward to this beautiful post for a few weeks now.

Kat is my cousin & I remember taking care of her during the summer sometimes when we were both much younger. : )  She’s so much fun to spend time with & doesn’t she look just beautiful in that dress? ; )

Enjoy!

She is a beautiful flutist.  Right here, she’s playing Amazing Grace for me. : )


I’d like to claim fore-thought & awesomeness for the image above, but there was a lot of luck involved.  I absolutely love it though.  Yay for moments of surprise!

Rocking the fedora… love the red & black plaid.

So gorgeous!  Seriously.  : )  I absolutely love all the photos we ended up with… it was hard for me to even begin narrowing them down… but I’m okay with that. : )

Emma: Wylie Senior Rep

Friday, October 16th, 2009

It has been a week!  Both good & bad… but still one of “those” weeks for me.  However, it makes me much happier to be able to share these images with you!  Emma is a Senior at Wylie this year & is very involved in choir.  Plus she’s just wonderful.  : )  I had a lot of fun photographing her downtown.

I considered breaking this into 2 posts, but I’ve still got Kat’s session & another lovely session with a local model to post, so this one will just be a little extra long because I can’t even start to pick my favorites!  I hope you enjoy all of the colorful goodness.

I love all of her freckles!  Seriously, I hope when my husband & I eventually have kids, they have freckles!

Doesn’t she look fiercely beautiful?

These chairs & table were outside of Relics, who were nice enough to share.  They have an absolutely fabulous website, so go give it a click.  And then go visit them downtown & wander through their store!  : )

Gorgeous Seniors x 2

Friday, October 9th, 2009

That’s right, they’re that gorgeous!  See?  : )

Kat is my Senior Rep from Winters High School in Winters, Texas.

And Emma is my Senior Rep for Wylie High School in Abilene, Texas.

I told you they were both gorgeous!

Check out their eyes!  Seriously.

I’m not done processing either’s pictures yet, but I wanted to share how fantastic they are!  Full posts coming soon!

Senior Rep: Applicants!

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

Updates & new information can be found on this (very similar) page.

This post maybe a little text-heavier than usual, but it’s all good news! (Well, if you’re a senior). And it’s quite a deal (if I do say so myself!)

I’m currently looking for Seniors in Abilene District schools (and surrounding like Merkel, Trent & Clyde). Being a Senior Rep means that you’ll get a deal on Photography & in exchange, you’ll help promote me at your High School. If you want all the nitty-gritty details, keep reading. If you’ve read below and/or are simply ready to contact me about becoming a Senior Rep, click on the Contact tab above.  Then fill out my Contact Form and use the Subject Line: Senior Rep for {insert Your High School Name here}.

As a very important side note, and this applies to any & all sessions (Senior or otherwise), please feel free to bring your best friend, a parent, even your pet or favorite prop (musical instrument, a hat, an umbrella, a balloon, use your imagination)!  I love anything that makes you more comfortable & at ease in front of the camera – or just makes the session more fun with more of your personality!

For all the info on this “Senior Rep” idea, keep reading.

Senior Rep Opportunity & Details

So what is a Senior Rep?

My Senior Reps get a great deal on some fantastic senior photography & in exchange help promote my work at their High School. I try to make this as easy as possible by providing you 2 purse or backpack-sized albums (they clock in around 5×5 with 20 pages front & back). One is for you & the other I’d suggest you share with your mother, grandmother or other loved one who can’t pass up a chance to talk about you & show you off! Believe me, this is one time when it won’t be embarrassing.

What do you get?

Enough goodies to make you & whoever is paying the bill happy! I know that photography can get expensive & I could give you a list of reasons why, but instead, I’m just going to offer you a chance to bring those costs down. Your investment would be $75.00, to help me cover the cost of getting you those fabulous images along with all the goodies listed below. Go ahead, check it out, I’ll wait here until you’re done.

What’s the catch?

No catch. Except one, sorta. I limit the number of Senior Reps I have per school, so let me know you’re interested early. Use my Contact Form and use the Subject Line: Senior Rep for {insert Your High School Name here}.

Zeke

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

As promised, here are my favorites from Zeke’s session. Doesn’t he look great in Black & White? : )

Hopefully later this week, I’ll have some posts up from my exhibit for those of you that couldn’t make it. ; )

Rachel Session 2

Friday, May 1st, 2009

Well, I decided that it was time to put up something new even though my exhibit is still up (that’s right, I don’t want anyone to forget).

I actually have two senior sessions that I’ve finished editing within the last week, so you’ll get my favorites from Rachel’s session today and you’ll just have to wait for Zeke’s to go up later. : )

I don’t have very many black & whites to post, but I’ll make up for it with Zeke’s blog. I do love black & white. And I don’t think it’s something that I’ll get over anytime soon (as if it needs to be gotten over! Pfft!)

Okay, now for Rachel’s photos (since they’ve finished uploading!).

Aren’t her cowboy boots the cutest? I love the teal!!! : )

We actually just found “Yay!” & “2009″ written on the wall here.
Talk about convenient!

Rachel's Senior Session

Sunday, April 5th, 2009

I had a lot of fun photographing Rachel for her Senior Photos. She & her mother suggested so many ideas & were so flexible! Her two sisters came too & I hope they weren’t too bored watching us. : ) I’m so glad they booked her session with me. I had a great time!

These were taken just outside of Lubbock where there are two old trains sitting near the highway. There’s a huge incline to get near the trains, but luckily my poor car survived! I’m so glad Rachel & her mother were in a truck! : )

This is the wall of a business that is painted like animal print. Rachel noticed it on the way to the trains & asked if we could stop there on the way back into Lubbock. Of course, I agreed, and I’m glad I did. Though I’m not always excited about animal print, I’m so glad Rachel suggested it because the print photos are beautiful!
