Tori Garcia | Sterling High School | 2014 Senior

 

I got a call two weeks ago, asking to do a last minute senior session. I was on vacation, but I could never turn it down. I love what I do to much, and I am so happy I didn't! I got to meet the lovely Miss. Tori and her mother. Tori started her day off with Mel @ Rouge Salon, after that, we met up and started our session! 

Between the slipping, and sliding on ice, the climbing over snow, wind blowing so hard tears running down our faces, snow throwing, and hair flipping, we got some amazing images for her senior session! I can not wait to share her gallery with her, but for now here is her sneak peek.

Thank you Tori for making my last senior session of 2013 the best! You rock and I the world better watch out for you lady!

Christmas from a Client

Today was an amazing day! 

Let me give you a little back story to this post. About two years ago, I met a lovely lady named Kayla while purchasing a purse from her. Over the next two years we grew close, and became friends. During this time I met her mother Patty as well. I've been photographing Patty and her family for almost a year and a half now! I first started photographing Kayla and her husband Jesse { Whom by the way will be on the blog soon as well! }, then I was booked to photograph Patty's whole family, and while I do that to do her youngest daughter's senior photos. 

Well, now I just wrapped up her youngest senior session, and working over the next year with Kayla and her family as they start to grow their family! Now skipping back to today! Today I received a visit from Kayla who was dropping off something her mother Patty had asked her to. As it turns out, Patty bought me a WONDERFUL Christmas gift! I now have an amazing new camera 

Epiphanie Bag!!

 I LOVE my new bag! Thank you so much to Patty and the Rood family for such an amazing year of photo shoots, and laughs, and thank you for my lovely gift!

Goodness, this session was a long time planning! Her mother booked her session at the start of September, we talked and planed a few things out, then we had to change the date, as it was suppose to rain. Well it never did, but it did on the day we changed it to! So finally we moved it to our final date, and it was just icky outside! Freezing, cloudy, and almost dark out. Can you tell though? Not at all! She was gorgeous and she rocked her session to a T!

I swear this year is just rocking! I got to work with the lovely Kayla yesterday and just had a blast! Between frolicking through the grass, and jumping all around, we did get in some amazing images! During our session, we talked about everything from family, to after school plans. Kayla is headed to get her license in Cosmetology! Look out everyone we just might have a another hair stylist joining us! I have to say it was a pleasure getting to know this young lady!

Oh Mary, this was just one of my favorite senior sessions of all time. We met up at her house to start our session. We drove around the area down to an older road where we caught some amazing lighting for her session. Afterwards we drove into Sterling and finished up our session. This girl has some serious moves! 

Beautiful and dangerous? I would say so!

 Oh Kaytlin, what do you say about a girl like this? Kaytlin was such a joy to work with. This young lady had it all, class, style, and beauty. I met Kaytlin as she was finishing up her hair and makeup with our wonderful stylist Mel Karn of Rouge Salon in Rock Falls.As we set out on our photo journey, Katylin had no problem taking direction, posing, and having fun!

 During one of our consultations, Kaytlin mentioned she really wanted to have an old truck in her photos. I can tell you now, I don't have a yard full of old trucks outside my back door. So one thing I made sure of was securing us a location that had everything Kaytlin was looking for. I always want to make sure my clients have what they dream of for their senior sessions.
