Lauryn '11 "BC Distinguished Leader"

OMGoodness, I can tell this is gonna be tough on Mom trying to choose, Lauryn had soOOOoooo many GREAT poses!!!! She is definitely very photogenic and I think we could've gone on for hours working with her, & I think she could have done it too! Other than one little problem, something was mentioned about "FAT PATTYs" in Huntington and then I think maybe her priorities shifted a little bit...just kidding, LOL!!! Everybody started talking about what great burgers they have, I think she may have talked her Mom into that being the next stop after leaving here! We had such a good time during her session and I just knew we would, I can't wait to really get into the rest of her images! I hope everyone enjoys this "sneak-peek", with lots more awesome ones to come! :D

Jill "BC SENIOR 2011"

Okay this is it, I am gonna make a serious attempt to shorten my blogs, they have been entirely toooo long! Jill's senior session went very well, and I think she has some fabulous poses!!! We photographed her older brother Corey several years ago. Even though they favor each other their tastes & personalites are very different from each other. Weather Jill was all dressed up in her high heels or more casual in her jeans & boots I thought she looked so cute!!! The one with the shovel & her 4-H stuff was so much fun! After doing the indoor ones here at the studio, we later met up with her out in Grayson to do part 2. We got some "BEAUTIFUL" images with Jill and her horse, I can't wait to work on the rest of them! And HOW bout the one by the tractor?!?!?! N-O-W.....that is all I'm gonna say about Jill's session! LOL!!! I think I did it, YaaaAAAY!!!! My first blog that wasn't 5 miles long. ENJOY everyone! ;D

"Tylyn" BCHS Sr. 2011

Tylyn has such a pretty name and a fun personality & style to go along with it! I just knew that her session would be great, despite the fact that she doesn't like to have her picture taken. I can't really figure out why though....I mean look at how naturally beautiful she is!!!! She has the prettiest perfect bronze skin tone, and that really looks great when its not too overdone. And girls & guys make sure you don't overdo it with being out in the sun tooooo long right before your session. Sunburns and tan lines aren't pretty and don't photograph the best! Okay maybe I'm just getting old, but here I go again thinking back on my first memory of Tylyn. I remember Gatlin her older brother was playing JFL football and she was a little cheerleader for his team. Seems like they were out of town or something on team picture day so Tammy brought them here to the studio later and Bill photographed them together outside by the pond. And seems like she might have ordered a statuette of them??? Those statuettes become more precious as time goes by and are so neat to look back on when they get all grown up!! I loved the one of her in the dress outside with Chip, her little Yorkie dog. He looked so cute and I would never guess him to be 11 years old. Also the close-up pose in the purple dress was gorgeous too!! And even though she really had a hard time with the serious poses, I thought the one in the boots really was KILLER!!!! It is hard to not smile on command, it seems like when someone tells you not to, that is when you start cracking up laughing. Well I better wrap this thing up and so it doesn't end up being a novel like the ones Tylyn brought in with her. HEY, I don't claim to be a writer, I just simply throw my thoughts out there and my fingers do the talking! And sometimes I can't stop them, they just seem to go out of control at times!!! LOL!!!! We so much enjoyed talking with Tylyn and her Mom at the end of the session. Right after we finished the poses outside it came this most awful wicked storm & downpour, so we invited them to hang around & wait till it passed. ( And we all know how much I love storms....NOT!!!) I know that they had much more important things to do, such as Tylyn & Tori were leaving for their trip out west immediately afterwards. But I just wanted to say we enjoyed our little pow-wow session. Well I hope that everyone enjoys Tylyn's little sneak-peek of her session! ;D

Tori "Part 2"

So finally I go to post the one of her that I mentioned earlier......was I right on the Demi Moore resemblance?!?!? Let me know what you think on that one. LOL!!! :)

2011 Senior "TORI"

As everyone can see Tori is absolutely a knockout which made our job easy and lots of fun!!! And sometimes its easy to get carried away a take a few extra poses when someone like Tori comes along, that works so easy in front of the camera. I think it helps some that she has been coming here most of her life for different school sports and dance pictures. It means a lot to us that so many of the Boyd County students patronize our business, and we really miss them when they don't come in anymore after they graduate and go off to college. Actually we have photographed both of her older brothers when they were seniors in high school. And seems like Tori was just in Elementary school back then...BOY time flies!!! I know that Tori and family are at her brothers wedding right now in Arizona, and I'm sure they're having a ball! Congratulations to Jared and his soon to be bride! When Tori came out wearing the leather jacket as one of her outfits, thats when I knew that it was all over!!! Something about when a girl puts on a leather jacket it just brings out a little different attitude & personlity and we love to show that! I know that seniors wanna bring mostly all summer clothes in for their session, but really when you think about this being a representation of your whole senior year, then clothes for all of the seasons should be worn. Not to mention how pretty some of the darker richer tones in sweaters and coats with fur hoods are. So try and include at least a couple of long sleeved outfits in your session. It could even be a black long sleeved top or turtle neck sweater, or something as simple as a long sleeved while blouse or shirt still worn with jeans if you don't really wanna dress up. I actually was gonna break my new rules for the class of 2011, with it being so early in the season already. But for some reason I couldn't get the one last image I wanted to post to work. I had told myself that this year I was gonna try and make the blogs shorter and not ramble on so much and limit the sneak-peeks to only 5 images. Well somehow this blogger page must have known that and it won't coperate with me and let me add just one more. The very last image Bill took of Tori was outside in her little orange plaid shirt and jean shorts sitting in the grass. She had taken her hair down out of the pigtails and had her sunglasses on top of her head, the wind slightly blowing her hair and OMGoodness, she was giving this serious look and so help me she made me think of Demi Moore....but prettier!!! I wish so bad I could've gotten this posted just to see if anyone else agrees with me, OH WELL! I guess I'll have to wait and see when she gets her DVD next week to get some feedback. I hope that everyone enjoys this little sneak-peek of Tori's senior session. Now I'm really having trouble, it doubled up on one pose and still won't let me put post another image, so now there is only four images!! I don't know what to do,I'm thinking there might just be "Part 2" of Tori, a mini-sneak-peek if you will.LOL!!! :)

2011 Senior Sessions Started!!!

What a way to kick off the new Class of 2011 Senior Season, with such a super nice guy like Tim!!!!! This was the first session of the Distinguished Leaders Program that we do for Boyd Co. So many of the seniors have lots of things going on in the summer, such as Tim does.....a week at Boys State and then he goes to "Governors Scholar Program" for 5 weeks. Getting an early start on having your senior portraits made makes like so much easier all the way around. Even though the summers may seem busy with different camps and vacations going on, it doesn't compare with how hectic life gets once school starts in the fall. There is after school practices and activites, games, jobs and that sort'a thing to have to try and schedule a time around having your senior session done. We sooOOOoo much enjoyed Tim's session and getting to meet his Mom, they both were so sweet & pleasant to be around! I loved the one of him outside by the pond in his KY shirt,& doesn't he just look so distinguished in the sweater & leather chair? Also the Black & White one with his BC letter-man jacket was super cool!!! Well I hope that everyone enjoys this little sneak-peak of Tim...and so much for my attempt of making my blogs brief! I seriously don't think I have the word "brief" in my vocabulary!! Everyone who knows me, knows how I have a tendacy to ramble on and on and not really make any sense! LOL!!!!
