Meet Landry. I have loved having this handsome Geneseo senior on our Moxie model team over the past year!! If you follow us on Instagram, then you may notice Landry from one of our many behind the scene impromptu dance parties during his sessions. While it isn’t uncommon for some hilarious shenanigans to happen during a shoot, since my girl Madeline is Landry’s sister, the laughter didn’t stop throughout any of our time spent together #sportsbike – LOL
He has been such a great sport in taking part in all of the Moxie events throughout the year – his thrift store challenge look was INCREDIBLE – very Bruce Springsteen “Born in the USA” vibes and he’s always willing to help me push the editorial envelope so to speak. When we met up for his session, it was a really hot day and ten minutes in, we were all sweating in the bright sun. Did that get Landry down? Not even for one minute. We finished up with the tennis shots at GHS and then headed downtown to capture both an urban and modern vibe. We ended the night on the top of a parking garage and the winds were really picking up. We had a ton of pages of sheet music that we were going to throw into the air to capture a fun image and it was hilarious. I’m talking to Madeline and Kristi (Landry’s awesome mom) and screaming “I, 2, 3… for them to launch the papers, then try to capture the shot and then instantly we all started running around the parking garage chasing the music that was flying in the air – love that memory!! Landry, I cannot wait to follow your story and see what your amazing future holds!!

Here is a little about what Landry had to say about his session with Moxie: “My overall experience with my senior photo session was amazing! Karen was very helpful throughout the whole experience. If I had an outfit picked out, she knew the exact spot to shoot at!  I was going for a more natural look with an added touch of my interests, such as my French horn, my car, and tennis. Karen was able to accommodate all of these! I wasn’t fearful or worried at all about any of my photos. This is because Karen had taken my two older siblings’ photos before mine, and I got to see the outcome of theirs. I did not doubt in my mind that Karen was, and is, an incredible photographer! The most memorable part of my session was when we had to run all across the top of a parking garage to ensure that we didn’t lose any sheet music. Karen is the most amazing photographer ever! She accommodates everything to your needs, and she makes the shoot fun. Sometimes, you might even get to have a little dance party with her! Moxie Design is a wonderful place to get your senior pictures taken because Karen is the most involved photographer that you can find. One piece of advice I have for other seniors getting their photos taken is to be helpful and involved. What I mean by this is, don’t rely on your mom to do everything for you. Your mom can aid in communication with Karen, but you need to find what outfits you want to wear because your mom doesn’t know what you want to wear. Also, location, location, location. Location is everything. You need to find the best location that goes with the outfit you are wearing. To do this, go back through and look at Karen’s posts from past seniors, and you will be able to find what works best. I love Moxie Design because both Karen and Madeline made the process easy and relaxed, and everything was always in order.”

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