Quad Cities High School Senior Pictures | Meet Ellie

Meet Ellie.
This all American beauty was so much fun to work with and is a total knockout!  She had such amazing wardrobe choices and her natural ability in front of the camera absolutely blew me away.

Here is a little about what Ellie had to say about her session with Moxie:  “Karen did an amazing job of helping me decide what style to do where. From neutral colors in nature with my puppy, to bolder colors in an urban setting, it really showed all sides of me.  It was such a relaxed and fun shoot, Karen made me feel extremely comfortable.  Karen was also super knowledgeable about what poses look good and always made sure I looked my best.  I loved that Karen encouraged me to really be myself through the poses, wardrobe, and locations. Karen is so talented, and she did such an amazing job using her skills to capture my personality in all the pictures she took.  Karen was loves what she does and it shows in the quality of her work. During the whole shoot she tried to get to know you better in order to make sure your personality really shows throughout the shoot.  I love Moxie Design because it’s the entire package – so easy and fun!”

One piece of advice that Ellie has for other seniors getting their photos taken?  “Be ready to step out of your comfort zone, that’s where the fun is and fun looks good on camera!”

If she could describe her overall senior session experience in one word, she would choose  “Memorable.”

Thank you for the kind words and for letting us be a part of your senior year, Ellie!!  Cheers to your awesome future!

xoxo,

Karen

Quad Cities Senior Pictures | Meet Hannah

Meet Hannah.

When I first met Hannah, I was immediately psyched for her senior session.  This girl has such a natural ease about her and a boho vibe that I was so excited to capture.  When looking for our beach spot, we ended up going to West Lake, where we had the entire beach to ourselves – super score!  I was so pumped to be able to capture some awesome beach volleyball shots during her session since she’s so passionate about the sport and I love the way that her final images came together.

Here is a little about what Hannah had to say about her session with Moxie:
“First off, I wasn’t really into the whole senior pictures thing because i thought it was basic and I wanted something different. I was planning on having my mom just take my pictures for me. However she convinced me to have the professionally done and I was thankful that I got them done with Moxie! I was allowed to go out of the box and do things that represented me. It definitely wasn’t a typical senior photo shoot, or at least from what I expected! It was a way to express who I was while also being comfortable while doing it!”

Thank you for letting us be a part of your senior year, gorgeous girl!!

Quad Cities Senior Photography | Meet Ava

Meet Ava.
This Assumption beauty was such an asset to the Class of 2018 model team and I am so happy that I was able to work with her on her senior photos!  The day of her session is one that I won’t forget.  Driving over to meet up with her, the weather looked cloudy, but didn’t call for rain until after her session time was over after sunset.  After about thirty minutes, the dark clouds started rolling in and my phone was blowing up with calls from my husband urging us to reschedule because a major storm was coming.  We chose to end the session there because it started sounding terrible (lightening and thunder are two things that scare me more than most).  The cool thing was that we got to do two different hair and makeup looks, which turned out to be awesome.  Thank you Ava, for being such a bright light in the world and for representing Moxie – you are amazing!

Here is a little about what Ava had to say about her session with Moxie:
“I never knew how fun taking pictures could be! Karen made me feel very comfortable in front of the camera and it really shows in my pictures.  I tried to go for a different look at every location, which made an amazing variety of pictures.  One of the locations was spontaneously chosen by Karen when we were on our way to our next location. It was a gorgeous red color door in front of a church. She just has a special eye for that kind of stuff!    We had to postpone half of my session because of a terrible storm coming! Karen was very flexible in adding in another half of my session on a different date, so I didn’t have to stress at all. 🙂  My biggest worry was not being photogenic, but having Karen there to help me with poses made me feel much better. The pictures turned out better than I could have imagined.  My favorite part of my Moxie Senior Experience was seeing the final product. I loved sitting down with Karen to look at all of the pictures at the Moxie Premiere Reveal.    The Moxie Design team is so cool to work with. I had so much fun feeling like a model.

One piece of advice that Ava has for other seniors getting their photos taken?  “If you have any questions about locations or outfits, ask Karen! She is such a big help to make the preparation easy.”

If she could describe her overall senior session experience in one word, she would choose  “fun”

Thanks to the rock stars at Haus of Heir boutique salon in Davenport for the awesome hair and makeup!!

Thank you for letting us be a part of your senior year, beautiful girl!!

Quad City Senior Pictures | Meet Kinsey

Meet Kinsey.
This Class of 2018 Future ISU student (Go Redbirds)  & Moxie model has supermodel beauty and is just as sweet as she is gorgeous.
I absolutely loved being able to go out to her grandfather’s land to get some gorgeous and unique shots that were special to her and her family.  I also loved that Kinsey’s photos represent who she is and what she believes in.  Thanks for being awesome, Kinsey!  We love you!

Here is a little about what Kinsey had to say about her session with Moxie:
“For my shoot I was going for a couple different looks. I wanted some images that were really girly and dressy with more of a city feel, but I also wanted some more bohemian inspired, summery images. I felt that those two looks would reflect my personality in my images.  My experience with Karen was amazing! I think everyone is nervous before getting their photos taken, but Karen totally puts you at ease and makes you feel so confident in front of the camera and she makes posing so easy. She’s also so much fun to work with and I loved getting to be a model for her a few times.  Before my shoot I was so nervous that wouldn’t be happy with how I looked in my images but when I actually got to see them I was blown away. I was surprised that I actually loved them all!  My favorite part of the entire experience was how well Karen gets to know you. It makes your images so much better because Karen knows exactly what you want.  I chose to take pictures in the District because I thought it would fit the vibe I wanted and have a unique look. I chose my grandpa’s pond because it’s a beautiful place that’s special to my family. I grew up going out there all the time so it would be a unique location that only I would have pictures at.  The most memorable moment of my session was Karen bringing my favorite candy and pop. It’s another way that she gets to know you makes you so much more comfortable.  Getting your photos taken by Moxie Design is a really special experience that you shouldn’t miss out on during your senior year.  I love Moxie Design because they take the time to give you outstanding memories that no one else can.”

One piece of advice that Kinsey has for other seniors getting their photos taken?  “Don’t be afriad to step out of your comfort zone with different poses and looks because some things that you might think are weird at the time will end up being your favorite images.”

If she could describe her overall senior session experience in one word, she would choose  “unforgettable.”

Happy Senior year, my love!

Karen

Quad City Senior Pictures | Meet Bridget

Meet Bridget.
I met this Alleman senior while doing a promotional shoot for Blush Dress Shoppe and was excited to welcome her to the Class of 2018 Moxie Model team.  The day we did Bridget’s senior session was so hot and humid, but we managed to work through it to get some gorgeous images.

Here is a little about what Bridget had to say about her session with Moxie:
“Karen and her crew made my senior photo session memorable. They made me feel totally comfortable while always working so hard to find the best shot. Even as we were fighting darkness she worked tirelessly in the warm humid weather to get that final photo which was one I particularly wanted and it turned out just perfect!!  I was fearful of how the weather would affect my photo shoot. It was very humid but Karen had face wipes we used to blot my face when I got sweaty. We looked for shade or partial shade as well and everything turned out awesome.   I loved that many of my life passions, such as fashion, shopping and cheerleading, were expressed in my senior photos. My Moxie Senior Experience photos truly tell my story.  Karen and crew made what could be a stressful time so much fun. The reveal at her home was the icing on the cake when I saw the spectacular outcome. Bravo!!  Moxie was voted #1 for a reason because they truly are the best.  I love Moxie Design because they made by senior photo shoot something I will never forget.”

One piece of advice that Bridget has for other seniors getting their photos taken?  “To relax and enjoy the experience because it is a memory you won´t forget.”

Quad Cities Boutique Senior Photography | Meet Taylor

Meet Taylor.
I love this girl and she takes such beautiful pictures but there are a few reasons that I will never forget Taylor’s senior session.

#1 – She is so comfortable in front of the camera that it was more like working with a professional model on an editorial session than doing a senior shoot.  This beauty has gorgeous eyes and was up for anything (leading to the #2 reason I’ll always remember her shoot…)
#2 – We had planned out locations for her session weeks in advance, but Mother Nature and the flooded Mississippi River waters had other plans.  Half of our shoot had to be rerouted and we didn’t find out until that day that the area we would be shooting had recently gone under water.  Did Taylor freak out? No way, we embraced the water and got some amazing shots that we would never have been able to capture without the rain.  Way to be amazing in a time crunch, Taylor!  I absolutely loved having her as a part of our Class of 2018 Moxie model team and can’t wait to see what her future holds.
#3 – Bonus number three is the fact that once we found a new second location, there was a man who was fishing in the floodwaters who was going out of his way to photobomb Taylor’s senior pictures.  I’ve literally never seen anything like it (as in I was laying on the ground shooting at different angles because he just kept popping up in the background looking straight at the camera).  Thanks, Fisher Bob (the name we gave him) for providing some laughs during Taylor’s session!!

Here is a little about what Taylor had to say about her session with Moxie:
“I was going for downtown chic meets outdoorsy boho for my session.  My overall session was very seamless and lots of fun! I felt very comfortable the whole time.  My biggest worry was I didn’t know if I would freeze in front of the camera or know how to pose. I felt very comfortable and it all came naturally when I’m front of the camera.  My favorite part of my senior session was going to all the different locations and wearing the different outfits. It all gave the photos a new vibe.  Downtown was used in an urban and rustic way. Credit Island provided the water and woods to create effortless nature shots.  The most memorable moment of my session was using flood water to create beautiful water pictures.  Karen makes you feel very confident and comfortable in front of the camera. The time goes so quick during your session, it makes you wish it could last forever.  I love Moxie Design because with them you’re free to be your self!”

One piece of advice that Taylor has for other seniors getting their photos taken?
“Don’t think about it so much! It will all come naturally if you let it.”

If she could describe her overall senior session experience in one word, she would choose  “amazing.”

Quad City High School Senior Photography | Meet Brenna

Meet Brenna.  I absolutely loved my time with this natural beauty during her model session.    This future ISU Kinesiology and Athletic Training major is such a breath of fresh air – she is as genuine as they come and has no idea how beautiful she actually is.

Here is a little about what Brenna had to say about her session with Moxie:  “I wanted a session that wasn’t just another ordinary senior picture session. I wanted something that reflected who I am as a person. I wanted to have pictures that were beautifully simple. I love the pictures Karen captured because I am truly happy in them.  I LOVED my senior photo session!! I found confidence that I didn’t know I had, and I think it is because Karen allowed me to step out of my comfort zone and be my true self. She gave suggestions for poses that allowed me to do this, and all of them ended up looking great. She went above and beyond to capture the perfect shot, and I couldn’t be more happy with the results.  I was nervous that I wouldn’t be very outgoing, and my senior pictures would be ordinary. If you get to know me, I’m very outgoing. But until then, I’m very quiet. However, Karen made it so easy and fun, and I felt like I could do whatever I wanted without any judgement. The pictures turned out great because of that.  My favorite part of my Moxie experience is I got to be myself, and I felt comfortable doing it!   I have always imagined my senior pictures would be on my dad’s farm because I learned so much there, and being able to make that dream a reality was truly amazing. I also took a few pictures at the Pitch, which is my high school’s soccer field. Since soccer taught me self discipline, team work, and many other life skills, I definitely wanted to take pictures involving the sport I fell in love with. And finally, I chose Scott County Park because I found so many amazing picture spots while running cross country there.  I loved every moment, but I think my favorite part was when the sun came out of nowhere during the last few minutes of my session. We got some really great shots then, and I felt beautiful.  It was amazing! I felt beautiful and comfortable in my own skin, and I found confidence that I never knew I had. I actually grew as a person after my senior session because I discovered to care less about what others think of me and instead focus on what I think of myself. I don’t know how long it would have taken me to figure that out if it weren’t for the amazing and talented Moxie members.”

One piece of advice that Brenna has for other seniors getting their photos taken?  “ALWAYS chose a place that you would feel comfortable with. No matter where you go, your photos will turn out beautiful. However, if you chose somewhere that is fun and comfortable for you, you won’t only look beautiful, but you’ll feel beautiful, too. That’s what Moxie did for me.”

If she could describe her overall senior session experience in one word, she would choose  “memorable.”

Quad Cities Award Winning Senior Photography | Meet Fran

Meet the lovely Fran.  When I met this Rockridge Senior a couple of years ago, I knew that I wanted to get her in front of my camera lens.  When she applied to be a model for the Class of 2018 season, I was thrilled.  I love everything about Fran, including her genuine personality and carefree spirit (and I am super jealous of her gorgeous curls)!   We shot a majority of her session at her family’s property which made it unique for Fran and there so many ahhh-mazing spots there – sunflower fields, amazing trees, tall grass, and ponds.

Here is a little about what Fran had to say about her session with Moxie:
“I was going for a very earthy themed, hippie style.  I love Karen and Max was amazing. I knew Karen from a previous shoot and was incredibly happy to work with her again. I loved the way my pictures turned out. She is so helpful and comes up with things I never would have thought of on my own.  I loved that it was my shoot and I controlled what we did and made it my own. Climbing up in a tree without my shoes on was definitely my most memorable moment – and quite an adventure.  I love Moxie Design because they provide a fun, personal, memorable experience.”

One piece of advice that Fran has for other seniors getting their photos taken?
“Make sure to have fun with it and make it personal.”

Of she could describe her overall senior session experience in one word, she would choose  “adorable.”

I can’t finish this blog post without a shout out to the hair and makeup geniuses at Haus of Heir boutique salon in Davenport – thank you for always making my girls look 100% camera ready!

Quad Cities Senior Pictures | Meet Maddie

Meet  Maddie.

I have had the honor of working with Maddie a few times over the course of the 2017-2018 school year and every time I photograph her, I am amazed by her eyes – they are gorgeous!   This future Dental Hygiene major is absolutely stunning as you will see from her images below.  I remember the day of her session like it was yesterday – super hot and humid.  Did Maddie let this affect her session?  Not for one second.  In fact, we embraced the heat when we got into Duck Creek, making for a memorable session.  Thanks for being a part of the Class of 2018 Moxie model squad, beautiful!!

Here is a little about what Maddie had to say about her session with Moxie:

“I was going for a look that would show my bubbly and bright personality. I wanted pictures I could look back to in the future and still love. Karen did a wonderful job portraying these things.   My shoot was 3 weeks before school started and it was a great start to my senior year. Karen made my session absolutely fantastic! It was substantial due to her making me comfortable, beautiful, and confident. She is extremely good at what she does and you can tell she loves doing it! She is a genuine person and is so inspiring. She works very hard to make your ideas a reality! I had multiple props and ideas and they turned out exactly how I wanted. My family and I went to my premier revel session and no one could just pick one favorite. So of course we had to buy them all! It is 6 months later and I find myself looking back at my photos because I am still astonished by Karen’s work.  It was a hot day in July with a high of 95 degrees. I was very worried what my makeup and hair would be ruined but the final results looked amazing!  I overall loved getting to know and work with Karen, Max, and all the other models. The group shoots were so fun! I was nervous at first but everyone’s goofy jokes and compliments made me feel comfortable. I made friends with a group of sweet girls and I still keep in touch with them. I stepped out of a my comfort zone and it was well worth it!  The most memorable moment was when we hiked down a cold but refreshing stream. Max was carrying the rocking chair we used as a prop. Karen was all prepared in her rain boots. I was barefoot trying not to slip while wearing a sundress. It was so worth the hike down the little stream because we got to the main stream with a breathtaking view.  If I were telling my best friend about Moxie, I would say 10/10 would recommend !! It was so fun and positive. The day felt all about me and they made me feel like a supermodel! My hair and makeup was done perfectly by the team at Haus of Heir. It made me feel super confident along with Karen and Max’s positive comments.   I love Moxie Design because Karen does everything possible to make you feel so confident and special during your shoot day.”

One piece of advice that Maddie has for other seniors getting their photos taken?
“Do not be nervous! Relax and enjoy it. You will cherish these memories forever.”

If she could describe her overall senior session experience in one word, she would choose  “Superior.”

Thanks for the kind words and for letting us be a part of your senior year, Maddie !!

Quad Cities Senior Photography | Meet Hailey

Meet the beautiful Hailey.
Thinking about this Geneseo senior and her entire family makes my heart smile.  I was lucky enough to get to both her mom and dad, as well as her adorable sister Ali and we shared a lot of laughs during her shoot.  Midway through her session, she surprised Max and I with our own bags of fudge – I mean, does it really get any better than that?   Having Hailey as part of the Class of 2018  Moxie model team was so much fun and I am so lucky to have met her through this process.  I cannot wait to see what this gorgeous girl’s future has in store!!

Here is a little about what Hailey had to say about her session with Moxie:
“The look I was going for in my session was simple yet pretty. I wanted to definitely incorporate my love for piano and Karen did that perfectly!  Overall, my senior photo session experience was more than I could’ve asked for. I had a great time with Karen and I felt like I’d known her my whole life by the third shot! It was a great time and I definitely wish I could do it all over again.  My biggest fear was that I would not like any of my pictures. I never really liked seeing pictures of myself, let alone on social media, but Karen performed miracles and I loved not one, but every. single. photo she took!  My favorite part of the Moxie Senior Experience was just getting to know Karen and Max while taking pictures. They both are such sweet people and they are the ones that make the experience the way it is.  The most memorable moment of my session was how pretty I felt the entire time. Karen and Max were just flooding me with compliments, and I felt like the prettiest girl ever. They make you feel so special and unique in your own way and I can not thank them enough for that!!   I love Moxie Design because the pictures are amazing, and the people are even better!”

One piece of advice that Haiey has for other seniors getting their photos taken?
“One piece of advice that I have for other seniors is to just relax and really think about what makes you, you. I didn’t want my pictures to look like every other girl’s pictures, and neither should you. Be unique and have fun, and I guarantee it you will have a blast. ”

If she could describe her overall senior session experience in one word, she would choose  “memorable.”

 

Thank you for letting us be a part of your senior year, Hailey!!

Quad City Senior Photography | Meet Sarah

Meet Sarah.  This gorgeous future Elementary Education major was a part of the Class of ’18 Moxie models and we had so much fun getting to know her!  The first time that we shot together was during our Moxie black themed editorial session.  It was a terribly cold and constantly raining day, but Sarah didn’t let that get her down at all.  We scored a couple of images of her that first day that looked like they came straight out of a magazine and from there, I couldn’t wait for her senior session.

Here is a little about what Sarah had to say about her session with Moxie:
“I was looking for a causal everyday look that reflected my personality.   I was really pleased with my experience! Karen and make made me feel comfortable posing and smiling in order to get the best pictures possible.  My biggest fear was that I would look awkward in some of the pictures but they turned out amazing.  My favorite part was being able to be one of the Moxie Design Class of 2018 models. It was really fun to work with Karen, Max, and the other Moxie models during the group sessions.  The most memorable moments of my session was all the little small talk between Karen, Max and I had between photos. It was nice getting to know them and it made me feel more relaxed.  I have already told my best friends all about Moxie Design and how pleased I am with my photos. If you are looking for a customized session that is all about you and what your interests are, then Karen at Moxie Design is the photographer for you. Karen takes the time to get to know you before the shoot by asking you questions, having you send pictures of your outfits and asking where you would like the photo shoots to take place. Karen also has tons of accessories that you can use to make your outfit complete or add that extra wow factor. You don’t even have to stress over doing your hair and makeup because you get to have that professionally done. I guarantee you will love all the photos Karen takes!  I love Moxie Design because Karen really makes the session all about you and captures who you really are through her talented photography skills.”

One piece of advice that Sarah has for other seniors getting their photos taken?  ” My advice is to relax and don’t hesitate to do a certain pose that Karen suggests because it will probably end up being one of your favorite photos.”

If she could describe her overall senior session experience in one word, she would choose  “Unforgettable.”

Quad City Senior Pictures | Meet Deonna

Meet the beautiful Deonna.
We were lucky enough to have this gorgeous Riverdale senior as a part of our Moxie squad for the Class of 2018.  We have worked together four times so far and each time, I’m blown away by this girls natural beauty.
The day of her actual senior session, it was a rainy, dreary afternoon.  I love clouds as much as the next photographer, but the rain (that seemingly wouldn’t quit) made the first half of Deonna’s session “an umbrella covering her and our lighting equipment/ run to the nearest building overhang” kind of day.  Luckily, she had secured Rozztox to use as part of her shoot as it is one of her fave places to hang, which gave us a literal shelter from the storm.  If you are ever in the Rock Island District, I highly recommend checking them out – their cupcakes are amazing!!!  During our second model editorial session, I scored an amazing shot of a few of our girls (Deonna being one) that has ended up being one of my favorite images from the past year and is the current back cover of our Class of 2019 Moxie magazine.

Here is a little about what Deonna had to say about her session with Moxie:

“I really wanted photos that captured who I was as a person and I think Karen did a great job of making that happen while also making me feel comfortable. I loved that I had the opportunity to shoot at my favorite coffee shop and how Karen made the experience very versatile and personable.  Overall, my senior experience was the best possible way to begin my senior year. Not only did I gain self-confidence while learning how to pose and take pictures, but I earned an excellent group of friends whom I met the first group shoot and still contact every single day.  Karen went above and beyond my expectations and made me feel like a rockstar in my own skin. She took the time ask me questions about my personal life, so that not only made me feel like I was shooting with a genuine human, but also a friend.   My biggest fear going into the photo shoot was that I wouldn’t be satisfied with my images. I had never had anyone do my makeup before but the team at Haus of Heir only added to my high self esteem that very VERY rainy morning. I was also afraid that the less than fortunate weather would ruin my day- but I ended up loving ALL of my photos and also all of my time spent under an umbrella that my mom or Max would hold; making me feel like a true queen.  My favorite part of my Moxie Senior Experience was stepping out of my comfort zone and realizing that I loved who that fearless and confident girl was. My life hasn’t been the same since, and I owe it all to Karen.  I love Moxie Design because Karen does an excellent job of giving girls and guys an opportunity to feel like a rockstar..even if it’s just for one day.”

One piece of advice that this beauty has for other seniors getting their photos taken?  ” Don’t be afraid to show who you really are. These are your pictures and your moments. Karen will support and help you with everything she can, and I promise it will be SO worth it.”

If she could describe her overall senior session experience in one word, she would choose  “timeless.”

I can’t finish this blog post without a shout out to my hair and makeup artist friends at Haus of Heir boutique salon in Davenport – you guys are amazing!

Thank you for letting us be a part of your senior year, Deonna!  You will forever be a part of the Moxie family!!  xoxo,

Karen

Quad City Senior Pictures | Meet Sydney

Meet the beautiful Sydney.  We were so lucky to have Syd as one of our Class of 2018 Moxie models.  The saying “as beautiful on the inside as on the outside” was made for this gorgeous girl.
During her model session, I was so impressed at Sydney’s natural ease in front of the camera and her images turned out absolutely breath taking.  A funny moment that I recall from her session was working with balloons to show that she was part of the Class of 2018 – we all got so many laughs with this because a windy afternoon + number balloons that you want to stay in the same spot = a recipe for disaster.   When Syd booked a fall session, I was super excited to be able to work with her again.  Being in late October, the weather is typically pretty mild and the leaves are gorgeous, perfect for outdoor shooting.  The day of Syd’s session, the windchill was something like 15 degrees and the winds were crazy.  We improvised, found some indoor locations and it was a huge success.

Here is a little about what Sydney had to say about her sessions with Moxie:  “I was going for some casual looks in different areas, but also some looks with my prom dresses! Karen did a great job picking different places for my outfits of choice.  Karen made my senior session so much fun! She made me feel so beautiful by always giving me compliments and saying her signature like “yesssss girl!!!” I’m so happy with how all of my pictures turned out!  I think my biggest fear was if I would look awkward with some poses, but in reality, those pictures turned out to be the best!  My favorite part of my Moxie Senior Experience was the confidence I gained through Karen. She is so outgoing and fun and genuine when giving compliments that boost my self esteem!  It was so much fun – everyone should get their pictures done with Moxie! Not only is the session fun, the pictures turn out so good!  Karen not only takes awesome pictures, she becomes a friend.”

One piece of advice that Syd has for other seniors getting their photos taken?  “Don’t be afraid to wear random hats! I used to think I looked awful in hats and those turned out to be some of my favorite pictures .”  – Yes, Syd! Great advice!!

If she could describe her overall senior session experience in one word, she would choose  “outstanding.”

I just got an email from Sydney last week that made me so happy –

“Karen, I seriously cannot stop looking at my pictures even though they’re from 2 months ago! I can’t get over how amazing your images turn out and how good I feel about myself in them. I just had to email you because last night I had a dream that I became a famous model and I had you take all of my pictures. I told my mom “I wish I could have Karen take every picture of me ever!” Ahhh you’re amazing! I’ve told everyone I know to get their pictures done by you when they are seniors 🙂

Xoxo,

Sydney”

Thanks for being awesome, Syd!!

I can’t finish this blog post without a shout out to my friends at Haus of Heir boutique salon in Davenport – you guys are amazing!

Thank you for letting us be a part of your senior year, Sydney!!  I can’t wait to see the wonderful things that your future holds!

Quad City Senior Portraiture | Meet Sara

Meet Sara.

This Geneseo beauty was a part of our Class of 2018 Moxie model team and I absolutely loved her session.  We chose locations that were close to her heart (and ever so beautiful – hello, family vineyard)!  The funny thing that I recall about Sara’s session was that we did some photos downtown Geneseo with glitter.  A couple of weeks later, we were back in the same area shooting, and there was still glitter on the ground from her session.  Hey, when a girl asks for glitter, we give them glitter.
Here is a little about what Sara had to say about her session with Moxie:

“Karen was amazing! She made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She truly made me feel like a model. She even brought my favorite drink and candy, which came in handy in the heat! I recommend to her to any senior looking for a photographer.  My biggest fear was having time for my 5 outfit changes and 3 locations. Karen managed to get every outfit change and location done before sunset!  I loved seeing the teaser photos on Facebook. I would check my phone constantly waiting to see my images 🙂  My favorite moment was when we took pictures with glitter. I LOVE glitter and I had a blast playing with glitter and still found it all over me the next few days! If I were to tell my best friend about my experience with Moxie, I would say that if they wanted the BEST senior pictures possible they should contact Karen immediately! I know they would feel comfortable in front of the camera and not have a single image they wouldn’t like.   I love Moxie Design because they helped my senior photo vision come to life.”

One piece of advice that Sara has for other seniors getting their photos taken?”Take time to think about the different kind of looks you want. It makes a difference to take your pictures with an idea of how you want them to turn out. You might want to try and limit your amount of outfit changes though.”

If she could describe her overall senior session experience in one word, she would choose  “Perfect. “

Thank you for letting us be a part of your senior year, Sara !!xoxo,

Quad City Senior Pictures | Meet Hailey

Meet Hailey.

This gorgeous blue eyed Moline High School senior was so much fun to work with.  One thing that I love about Hailey is her strong faith – she plans to pursue Women’s Ministry at the Moody Bible Institute following graduation – I cannot wait to see what her future holds!!

Here is a little about what Hailey had to say about her session with Moxie:

“It was wonderful! My family and I absolutely love working with Karen and her team – you guys are a huge blessing for so many people! You have such a great talent, and thank you for making high school seniors feel so special and confident!   I was afraid I would be very critical of myself in the pictures after, but I love each and every photo as I feel so beautiful!  My favorite part of the Moxie Senior Experience was the being able to have absolutely gorgeous pictures taken that are unique. Moxie design has a set apart style that differs from other Senior photographers and provides different and beautiful photos! Thank you for sharing your talent!  The most memorable moment of my session was just being silly with Karen and her team as I danced along my the riverside in my dress and heels! If I were to tell my best friend about my experience with Moxie Design, I would say that I 500% recommend! Karen and her team are so sweet and accommodating. If you want the pictures you keep forever to be the best quality, do them with Karen!  I love Moxie Design because I gained confidence from feeling beautiful inside and out.”

If she could describe her overall senior session experience in one word, she would choose  “Inspiring.”

Quad City Senior Photography | Meet Ashley

Meet Ashley.
I absolutely loved spending time with Ashley during her session and I loved how she incorporated her mom into her pics with their amazing t’s (see below).  This future mathematics education major wanted a look that showcased her outgoing personality.  Here is a little about what Ashley had to say about her session with Moxie:

“My senior session was incredible. Karen and Max provided such a unique experience and were so down to earth. The teamwork between them resulted in amazing pictures that I will always cherish. I am so grateful for the personalized experience.  My biggest fear was not liking the end result pictures. Some of the poses had me worried initially, but after I saw them I immediately fell in love.  My favorite part of the senior experience was being pampered. Karen arranged for hair and makeup to be done and then provided hours of shooting.  The most memorable moment was my reveal session. I was so anxious to see the end result and very appreciative for the pictures she captured.  Moxie Design is the photographer to use. Karen provides unique poses and has several props that she hand picks to match your outfits and personality.  I love Moxie Design because they captured once in a lifetime pictures perfectly.”

One piece of advice that Ashley has for other seniors getting their photos taken?  “Listen to what Karen wants you to do. Even if you think the pose is strange, it will look amazing in the end.”

If she could describe her overall senior session experience in one word, she would choose  “Astonishing.”

Quad Cities High School Senior Photography | Meet Jordan

Meet Jordan.  This gorgeous senior is such a clenbuterol cycle will make you feel your true natural in front of the camera.  I was super excited to do a mini session with Jordan featuring her AHHMAZING ombre hair prior to her summer senior session – the images turned out amazing!!  The weather on the day of her session in June was pretty terrible, but did she let it get her down?  Not for one second, and to showcase that, we captured an awesome image of her dancing in the rain.

Here is a little about what Jordan had to say about her session with Moxie:

There is no other way to say this:  Moxie Design is the best.  Karen treated me to a personalized experience, all accustomed to my taste, style and ideas.  I was so amazed with the pictures, for she seemed to capture me in the exact ways that I had imagined.  Karen and her team make you feel like a celebrity, like a supermodel.  Karen’s photography captures the beauty of anyone and everyone.  But most importantly, the experience you will have with Moxie Design is one that you’ll make memories with.  I couldn’t have imagined having my pictures taken by anyone else.  The entire experience was super personal and custom to who I am and what I was looking for in my photos. I had so much fun! I loved working with Karen, she made me feel more confident. I was worried I would not like the way I look, as natural insecurity does. However, I’m in love with my photos!  We discovered my locations by basing them off the style of the look I was trying to achieve. Karen picked most of them, and they ended up fitting my style very well.  The most memorable part of my session was watching Max trying to shoo away the bugs so we could shoot in front of the tall grass. I also got to stand in creek with bare feet, that doesn’t happen very often. I love Moxie Design because I felt confident in every click of the camera.

One piece of advice that she has for other seniors getting their photos taken?  “If you’re not having fun, the photos will show it. So be with a photographer that you know will help you with enjoying the experience.”
If she could describe her overall senior session experience in one word, she would choose  “personal.”

Shout out to my pals at Haus of Heir boutique salon in Davenport for the beautiful hair and makeup  – you guys are amazing!

So happy to have been a part of your senior year, Jordan!!

Quad City Senior Photography | Meet Abby

Meet Abby.

This brown eyed beauty absolutely slayed her session and has some serious supermodel potential.  I loved meeting her family during her session and loved her location selections.

Here is a little about what Abby had to say about her session with Moxie:
“My experience with Karen and Max was amazing! I had such a blast throughout the entire photo shoot!  First, we started in the woods behind my house and I chose this location because it belongs to my grandpa and it’s absolutely beautiful down there. Next, we went to my high school softball field and took amazing softball themed photos. We ended the night out at Loud Thunder where we got amazing shots by Lake George and an awesome sunset photo to end the session. My favorite part of my senior experience was stepping out of my comfort zone to get amazing shots!  My biggest fear was that I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to make a serious face, but it turns out I was able to!  The most memorable part of my senior experience was being able to take a few minutes to capture memorable pictures with my uncle who is in the Navy.  Karen and Max made my session SO much fun and made me feel like a model!  Karen has an amazing ability to capture beautiful images.”

One piece of advice that Abby has for other seniors getting their photos taken?
“Don’t be afraid to go outside of your comfort zone in order to get amazing shots!! You’ll be glad you did in the end.”

If she could describe her overall senior session experience in one word, she would choose  “Amazing.”

Quad City Senior Pictures | Meet Allison

Meet Allison.
This Geneseo beauty was so much fun to work with and the moment I will never forget during her session was one of the most beautiful display of sunrays that I’ve ever seen.  Here is a little about what Allison had to say about her session with Moxie:

“For my senior session, I wanted a look that showed my personality. I chose my grandparent’s house as the first location because I have had so many memories there, what better place to take photos? I then went downtown Geneseo, hoping to capture some photos with my hometown. Lastly, I took photos with an airplane. This was an example of my future. I really wanted to capture who I am and who I will be in my photos. My overall senior photo session experience was amazing! I had such a fantastic time; one I will never forget. I had fun with Karen, and she truly made me feel comfortable. I wish I could go back because I had such a great time. This was truly one of the best moments of my senior year.  My biggest fear was that I would look stupid in my photos. I was hesitant about posing, but Karen never led me astray. The photos turned out amazing, proving my worries were all in my head. My favorite part was getting to take photos with an airplane. The light was shining perfectly and Karen was able to get some really awesome shots. When I looked at the photos, I felt like I was looking at my future. It was an amazing experience to be able to have that opportunity.   My most memorable moment of my session was when my mom was worried about a scab a had on my arm. It sounds silly, but she was so nervous it would ruin all the pictures. Before my mom even mentioned it Karen said, “Don’t worry I can totally crop the scab out.” I still laugh about it, and the day of, it lightened the mood so much. It was such a weird but great memory from the day.   I have definitely already told my friends about this amazing experience. I said how they have to go to Karen, because she is simply the best. I also discussed how I was made to feel comfortable–I never felt awkward going into weird poses, you just have to trust Karen. Also, being a model for a little while was totally awesome, which I think all my friends should get to experience at least once in their life.   Although I do not consider myself to be anywhere near being a model, Karen made me feel like a true beauty queen the day of my session.”

One piece of advice that Allison has for other seniors getting their photos taken?  “Do not overthink it. If you want to try some crazy pose or idea, go for it! It could turn out super cool and unexpected.”

If she could describe her overall senior session experience in one word, she would choose  “Spectacular”

Quad Cities Senior Photography | Meet Anitza

I knew when I first met Anitza at a shoot for Blush Dress Shoppe that I wanted to be her senior photographer!
When she applied to be a part of the Class of 2018 model program, I was so excited and let me tell you, she did not disappoint.  This girl is so outwardly beautiful – but the most amazing thing is that she is just as gorgeous on the inside.  I remember the day of her senior session and how she was up for anything that I suggested.  Lay in the middle of a country road? Sure.  Hike up a hill (in the pouring rain) to attempt to get a photo of the sunset that looked AHHMAZING?  No worries.

Here is a little about what Ani had to say about her session with Moxie:

“Overall, my experience with Moxie design was amazing! I loved every second of it and didn’t want it to end.  I wanted a simple, yet timeless look for my pictures that I could look back on and still love in the future.  Karen makes you feel so comfortable –  I was worried that I would look awkward and stiff in my pictures, but Karen made sure I was relaxed and that I looked my best! The most memorable moment from my session was climbing up a steep hill, through thick grass to capture an AMAZING sunset backdrop! I love Moxie Design because Karen makes you feel as though you have been friends forever and her artistic vision is amazing!”

One piece of advice that Anitza has for other seniors getting their photos taken?
“Definitely don’t be afraid to step outside of you comfort zone and try new things, you’ll never know what kind of shot you can get!”
If she could describe her overall senior session experience in one word, she would choose  “Incredible.”
