Kiersten's "ON-LOCATION" Session




Okay, maybe I can be brief with this if I really try hard and don't ramble to much!! LOL!!! Well this was so much fun for us, we absolutely love going out to different locations and creating new & exciting poses for seniors!!! We love working at our studio, but getting out and trying new things really keeps us on our toes & makes our job loads of fun! It was so funny how Bill ended up riding from the different locations with Brandi, and Kiersten rode in the van with me & she was litterally changing clothes as we were going down the road! FUN,FUN,fun!!!! She had the backseat of her Moms car loaded down with tons of clothes, shoes & jewelry to match any given outfit perfectly. But "HEY", a girl can never have too many pairs of shoes - RIGHT?!?!? I thought the one in the boots & jean dress was amazing, and the one in the jeans & tank top was sooOooo H-O-T!!!! Okay I better wrap this up and get these posted before it gets any later, huh. I tell you what, there are soooOOOoo many more great ones that she & her Momma will have to choose from her DVD....I'm just glad I don't have to pick cause it's gonna be hard. ENJOY the "SNEAK-PEEKS" & oh yea, btw "THANKS "Kiersten for wearing the dress for me, cause I know it really wasn't your favorite!!!

Kiersten 2011 "Studio Session"




I can't remember when I've ever had so much trouble trying to choose a few favorites to post as I have with Kiersten's session!!! SHhhhewee, this one is gonna be tuff!!! She had soooOOOOo many really fabulous images that made it extremely hard for me to narrow it down to just 3 images...that has been my new rule (only "3" for the sneak-peeks). Kiersten also purchased an add-on session to do some "ON LOCATION" shots as well. SOOooo at least I can post 3 more of my favs from that session too, so that makes me feel a little bit better. She brought so many cute outfits with her and she always had awesome shoes & accessories to go with each outfit!!! She is just so daggone stinkin' cute that no matter what she puts on she looks GORGEOUS!!! Well if I don't quit rambling I'm never gonna get these up & I know that Kiersten is waiting to see them. SO I hope that everyone enjoys these as well as the location ones too!!! :)

BCHS Homecoming Dance

We want to thank all the couples that came to WHITLOCK's for BC Homecoming!! I thought everyone looked sooOOo great, but that always holds true with this group. I don't know exactly what it is but we sure have some of the best lookin' young people here in BOYD COUNTY! It is one of our favorite times of year when everyone comes in all dressed up, we just love it!! Well I hope that you guys enjoy this little sneak-peek video, and the packages should be ready for pick-up here at our studio by Friday! ENJOY....:)

Rachel 2011 "BCHS SENIOR"




Rachel was such a cutie pie...I just love her smile and personality!!! We had such a good time photographing her during her senior session a couple of weeks ago. Well, maybe it was a little longer than that...we have gotten behind again due to Bill being in the hospital recently. Thank you to everyone for all your prayers and support, he is doing much better now & is gearing up for BC Homecoming on Sat. He loves photographing seniors and talking to people, when he is looking thru the lens of his camera thats when he is happiest!! Speaking of talking to people we really enjoyed talking & visiting with Bobbie again, Rachel's Mom. We did Rachel's older sisters senior portraits a couple of years of years ago. It really means a lot to us when people are pleased with what we do and continue to patronize "WHITLOCK PHOTOGRAPHY", we really do value each and everyone of our customers. Rachel & Sarah both brought their little dog Max along to be in some of the poses, he is a dacshound (SP?) or some people refer to them as weiner dogs. This was his last senior session though, so I guess he will offically graduate this year. LOL!!!
I absolutely loved the serious pose of Rachel in her dress! I can't quite put my finger on what it is....if it's the shape of her face, jaw line, bone structure, her flawless complexion or her eyes - anyways it was just so BEAUTIFUL!!!! She also brought an electric guitar and even though she ended up sliding by and not having to play it for us, we still had lots of fun during that part of her session & got some great images!!! Most of you may know Bill's studio policy...he says "if you bring in some kind of a musical instrument you gotta play something for us"! LOL!!! But the ones with the electric guitars don't always bring an amp with them so they have a good excuse to get out of it! But maybe not, I did hear him say the other day something about maybe picking up one to have here in the studio. LOL!!! I hope that everyone enjoys Rachel's sneek-peeks...and remember when you see your images posted on our blog & Facebook that means we have your DVD ready. So just give the studio a call to set up an appointment to come by and pick up your DVD. :-)

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!!! :-)
