2011 BCHS Sr. "Marshall"

Marshall's session was so smooth, he was extremely nice to talk to and work with!! So many times, especially if they don't really know us, Seniors don't always open up and really talk a whole lot during their session. Which that is perfectly normal and considering that sometimes they are a little nervous, but hopefully that goes away within the first few minutes they are here. Because we hope that everyone feels very comfortable here and realizes that we aren't gonna be grouchy or demanding. But when they do talk to us and share things about their likes & interests we just love it!! After all, this is YOUR senior portraits & we want this to be all about "YOU", or as our little tag line says "WHERE THE FOCUS IS ON YOU"!!!! Marshall has the nicest smile, and after finding out his girlfriends name that brought out the biggest smile everytime!! We are kind'a nosey like that ya know, not really! LOL!!! Also doesn't he look so handsome in the suit pose?!?! Well I think Bill is going to have to break down and buy us some kind of an amp or something. Because as some of you may know Bill's studio policy, he says when someone brings in any kind of an instrument they have to play something for us. Well with acoustic guitars that is no problem but for the electric ones we don't get the full effect. It is amazing just how musically talented so many of the seniors that come to us are!! And Marshall was no exception, I could tell that he could really play very well even though the volume wasn't there. Well, we are trying something new with our posting of senior images and Marshall is the first one doing it this way. When we have your DVD all ready for you I will post 2 or 3 images here on our blog & on Facebook. In the past we did several more images and posted it about a week after the session, and a week before we actually had the DVD ready....so we'll see how people like it this way. Please let us know your feedback. We really enjoyed visiting with Marshall's Mom during the session too. I apologize for this taking a little longer than normal but as many of you already know that Bill has been in the hospital. But he is feeling better each day and is so ready to get back in the camera room doing what he loves...photographing seniors!!! I hope that everyone enjoys Marshall's "SNEAK-PEEKS"!!!! :)

Joe "SENIOR 2011"

Okay, so if any of you read our blog lately and saw some sneak-peeks for Shelbey you may remember me talking about her having a twin brother. Well this is Joe and he was so easy going and was relatively quite...but at the same time very polite and pleasant to be around. I know with the guys it's not usually their idea of having to come into the studio to have professional portraits taken, but they do it anyways to make "MOMMA" happy!! LOL!!! I didn't realize it but during the course of Shelbey's session her Mom mentioned to me that we had photographed the twins together when they were 11 months old. WOW, time sure does fly doesn't it? But I thought it was so very nice that they agreed to do one together, it's just one of those things that us Momma's appreciate & it means a lot. Something just dawned on me while working on some of Joe's images for his Sneak-Peeks, does anybody out there remember Ricky Nelson from back in the day??? Well....look how much Joe resembles him!! While we were photographing him I didn't really make that connection, but just now it came to me who he looks like! They say everyone out there has a twin, and for any of you that aren't aware of the fact that Bill really does indeed have a twin. So if you are ever out and about somewhere and think you see Bill with someone else other than me and he doesn't act like he knows you - then it must be his brother!! LOL!! OMGoodness, wasn't Joe's dog Eva simply BEAUTIFUL?!?! The color of her eyes was so stunning and they matched Joe's shirt perfectly!! Also I really enjoyed the album collection that Joe brought in with his guitar poses, some really good music from back in my day during the 70's!! LOL!! And we got lots of good images during that part of his session too! Well I better wrap it up now, I have a tendacy to ramble way too long most of the time. I hope that everybody enjoys Joe's Sneak-Peeks and I'm sorry that I'm a little late in getting these posted. It's just that time of year now...."SENIOR SEASON" & we love it!!! :-)
