Meet Kyah. This Moxie girl and I actually met almost a decade ago when I took photos of her for a modeling portfolio and so I was thrilled when she applied to be a Class of 2025 Moxie model!! It has been so much fun reconnecting with Kyah and her awesome mom, Tara! Every time we get together for a shoot, we are always laughing and it just feels like we have been friends with both of them forever! On the day of Kyah’s main session, it was a super warm but windy day. We were lucky enough to be able to get on 4x4s and get a tour of this beautiful property with a stream and fields and barns – it was stunning! Then we hit up some spots downtown Geneseo and ended our night at the softball fields. Although it was a warm one, it was a perfect session!
Here is a little about what Kyah had to say about her session with Moxie: “My senior session with Moxie was AMAZING! Although it was really hot on the day of my photos, Karen & Maddy were absolutely the best to work with and made it the best day ever!!! Being a senior in high school only happens once so having Karen capture these memories will last forever! I’m incredibly blessed and grateful for Karen and will 100% have her take pictures of me again in the future. Highly recommend to anyone with an upcoming senior in their house! I wanted more of the nature type photos of landscapes around my neighborhood, including a creek down in the woods, tall grass fields in the middle of nowhere and around some old barns in my neighborhood. Can’t forget the softball ones at my home field! And just some random ones around cool spots downtown Geneseo. Getting my hair and makeup done by someone else was awesome! It was beautiful, flawless and stayed put together all day in the 96-degree temps! Haus of Heir rocks!!! Do I have a favorite photo from my sessions? Honestly not just one, any of the black & white photos are my favorites because even with no color you can see so much beauty in every photo. But if I had to pick just one outside of B&W it would be one of me in the creek, holding my beautiful bouquet from Cherry Creek Harvest with great RBF! Just book the session with Moxie! Have fun, be adventurous and be yourself. You will have the best time and wish you could do weekly sessions with Karen & Maddy! I love Moxie Design because of how comfortable they make you feel and how Karen gets to know you personally so the end result is everything you expected and more!”
One piece of advice that Kyah has for other seniors getting their photos taken? “Be yourself; choose things that make you feel comfortable but also do some shots that might make you feel uncomfortable for a great photo! And also, cherish some of your lasts as a senior.”
If she could describe her overall senior session experience in one word, she would choose “UNFORGETTABLE!”
Thank you for being a part of the Moxie model squad for the past year, girl!!
xoxo,
Karen
