Meet Marley. If you follow us on social media, you may recognize her as our Class of 2025 Moxie model who won the thrift store challenge! I loved that Marley was open to shooting some of her senior photos in locations that were totally unique and that she was up for every crazy suggestion that I had. We were able to capture a really cool vibe at the donut shop, then made our way to take some photos in the library as well as the theater at GHS – so cool!! I loved the time that we spent on the football field at GHS when Marley was playing the marimba – she even taught me a to play a little bit, which was really fun!! All of her photos captured her super cool vibe – we even got to get a shot with her and a scooter that is one of my favorites from her session. I love the variety of outfits and locations – it was an absolutely epic shoot. We got to spend some time with her entire family too, which only added to the awesomeness of the day!

Here is a little about what Marley had to say about her time with us: “My senior photo session experience was empowering and collaborative. I was just trying to have fun with the shoots using different locations and outfits. I loved having one of our locations in our local donut shop since it gave the shoot such a vintage and cool vibe. My biggest fear was working outside of my comfort zone, but I trusted the process–they even got me to wear a hat!  I loved how Karen and Madeline were able to capture my interests and activities including band, theater, and even some different poses in the library. The most memorable part of my session was trying different poses with the donuts and attempting a photo of me jumping mid air with two sprinkle donuts. Working with Karen was a super fun, creative, collaborative, empowering experience full of discovery and self-expression. I love Moxie Design because they are original, personal, and visionary.”

One piece of advice that Marley has for other seniors getting their photos taken? “Trust the process, be open to new ideas, and don’t be afraid to be yourself.”

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

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

xoxo,

Karen
