Meet the lovely Abby. We met up with this PV beauty on a hot summer day last June. We started her shoot at the football field so that we could capture some cheer photos, which turned out stunning! Next we headed to downtown LeClaire, which always offers a variety of backdrops – and they were perfect for Abby’s looks! When reading her information sheet prior to her session, I saw that Abby was wanting a flower field, but the wildflowers were not sprouting up as they typically had in the past. I checked out a new location that was given to me by a friend and although it was a bit of a hike to get there, once you arrived at the top of the hill, the wildflowers were abundant and there were huge open skies – a perfect spot to capture an outdoor, wildflower vibe! I knew that Abby had wanted to include some books to showcase her love for reading, so we loaded them up in a wagon and headed out on our trek to the flower field. The mosquitoes and gnats were thick, but we brought along a fan and multiple bug sprays, which helped to keep them at bay. I absolutely loved getting to know Abby and her awesome mom, Kathryn, during our time together. Abby is such a joy to be around and knocked her session out of the park!
Here is a little about what Abby had to say about her session with Moxie: “My senior session was amazing! Karen was patient, kind, and detail oriented. She made me feel comfortable and was so creative with the shots and poses she chose. I wanted to showcase my personality and interests in my photos. Having the right pose for each shot was my biggest fear, but Karen made me laugh and feel comfortable which made finding the right pose easy. My favorite part of the shoot was the variety of locations we used. I love the photos in the flower field! The lighting was great and the flowers were beautiful. The most memorable part of my session was walking through the woods to the flower field. It was buggy and hot but the pictures were amazing. My session was a great experience! Karen takes her time with each shot and has a great eye for locations that will photograph well. I love Moxie Design because working with Karen was so much fun!”
One piece of advice that Abby has for other seniors getting their photos taken?
“Take the time to capture a variety of locations and outfits that showcase your personality and interests. <– Awesome advice, Abby!!
If she could describe her overall senior session experience in one word, she would choose “amazing.”
Thank you for letting us be a part of your senior year, Abby!!
