Creek Walks + Softball | Killing your Senior Session even when you don't feel good :(

Wednesday, November 11, 2015

This sweet girl was is such a trooper. I make that distinction because I know that even though I only spent a little over an hour with her, I know she is this cool all. the. time.

First of all, I have to point out that this chick is super cool, fun, and down-to-earth. She is completely honest and was a delight to work with. But she is also pretty much amazing at life, since she will be graduating early and heading off to play softball at Memphis, this winter. Yeah, like a month away.

I'm sure she is ready - even though Mom and Dad are wishing she would pump the brakes and stay a little longer.

She is the baby after all.

Meet Regan. Poor thing wasn't just beautiful and open to anything - see creek walking photos below - she also got through all of this feeling pretty ill. I can't imagine seeing her on a good day if this is Regan sick. Read on to find out how she prepared for - and made it through - the shooting of these gorgeous photos.

1. How did you feel before the photo shoot? Did you have any concerns?
Not really concerned, but just anxious to see if you could do something with
the outfits that we had...

2. Awesome clothing choices, where did you get your inspiration?
She mainly just wanted to be herself and we just picked stuff in her closet,
except for the dress.

3. How was everyone feeling during the shoot? How was Regan's stomach after the shoot?
I think she may have been overheated the day of the shoot.

3a. Think the stomach was just nerves or more serious?
Could have been nerves, I suppose, but she is not normally a nervous person.
3b. Regan, how did you deal with Michelle giving you a bunch of strange things to do while you didn't feel well?
I feel like I was telling Michelle what I wanted to do and she just "tweaked" it.

4. What are you going to miss most when you go away to school? Mom/Dad what will you miss the most when your little girl goes away?
Regan said she will miss hanging out with her friends and family most.   
Mom and Dad are going to miss her fun personality and just knowing that she is safe at
home.  We are also going to miss her laugh and daily stories.

5. Based on the few images you've seen, do you think we accomplished goals?
Yes, definitely.  Beautiful scenery and our beautiful girl looking her best.

6. What were you thinking during the session? Any directions sound strange until you saw the finished photo (if you have yet)? Remember specific posed that you were thinking 'Really?!?'
No and no, definitely not.  Michelle is obviously very experienced and a professional.  Just look at the results!

7. What did you talk about in the car as you left the shoot?
We talked about how relieved we were that it went so well.  She said she was very comfortable more than she expected.

8. Is there anything you would have done (or had Michelle do) differently?
We would probably have chosen so warmer weather clothes, but we went with the "Fall" theme.

9. Mom/Dad what advice would you give other parents about planning/scheduling their high school senior's photo session?
First, use Michelle!  Next, plan your clothing/outfits with the season.

10. What was your favorite part of the photo shoot?
The barefoot in the creek pictures.

Baby Horses + Boots: How to Rock Your Senior Shoot | Louisville, KY Senior Photographer

Saturday, July 18, 2015

Getting blog post sneak peeks ready is probably one of the most exciting things that I get to do, right behind shooting amazing people in fun places - and - delivering HUGE gorgeous galleries and seeing people's faces as they look through the images.

Over the last few posts, I have tried to get some good juicy info out there, straight from the horses mouth, so to speak. {hehe get it horses} This one is all about a beautiful cheerleader named Morgan, a rising senior at Assumption High School. We had so much fun, and really made some awesome images too. Plus her sweet Mama was there helping us out and the former model clearly gave Morgan some of her gorgeous model material genes.

This blog post is sticking with my recent theme of real clients (I call them friends after we get to play at our photo shoots and goof around), answering questions about how they really felt before, during, and after our shoot. This shoot was all about Morgan of course, and she is going to give you a little peak inside her mind to share some advice with future senior shootees :)

1. How did you feel before the photo shoot? Did you have any concerns?
I was excited yet nervous because I really wanted them to turn out pretty.

2. Did you prepare for the shoot? If so, how?
I got a spray tan 2 days before.  I looked in my closet for outfits that best represented me then went shopping for a few things. Another thing that help me prepare was looking on Pinterest, Instagram, etc to share pictures I really liked with Michelle.

3. Did you do any practicing (i.e. smiling with your eyes, etc)?
No.

4. What made those gorgeous natural smiles in some photos? What was so funny?
The goats yelling in the background and the horse biting me were so funny.  My mom and you both made me laugh as well.

5. What was your favorite part of the shoot?
Getting to pet the horses.

6. Based on the few images you've seen, how do you think we did?
Everything turned out exactly like I wanted.  I love these pictures!!

7. What were you thinking during the session? 
I hope these pictures turn out great.  I also thought of funny things to make me laugh so my pictures wouldn't look fake.  After about the first 10 minutes, I started to relax and have fun!

 8. Is there anything you would have done (or had Michelle do) differently?
Nothing

9. What advice would you give other seniors before their photo shoot?
Have all of your outfits ready to go.  3 outfits were plenty.  Have fun, be natural, relax and enjoy your photo shoot.

10. Why did you choose Michelle to capture your senior photos?
My mom showed me pictures Michelle took of other people and I loved them!
What do you guys think? She is a natural, right? I think she did a great job!
