Meet Kamryn. This stunning Orion senior and #moxiemodel and I have been able to work with each other quite a few times over the past year – and it has been so wonderful getting to know her and her awesome mom! During Kamryn’s main session, we started off at the gym to capture her basketball photos and I was absolutely blown away. We experimented with a basketball net, making it a necklace and shooting through it to frame Kamryn perfectly. After that, we headed to a super cool and unique location that offered so many different backdrops. There was a pond, a huge open field, wildflowers, a lovely barn and a really cool wall with multiple vintage doors, that turned out to be a great set for Kamryn’s photoshoot. While we were there, I had Kamryn leaning up against a railing and I went to show her exactly what I wanted her to do with her hands for the photo and I jumped and screamed because there was a toad on the railing and I almost brushed up against it. I’m not afraid of toads or frogs, but it was so unexpected!! We all started laughing and it made for a really fun memory (and great picture of Kamryn)! We ended the night at a park where we were able to capture some shots at sunset in the Mississippi River, capturing a beautiful sunset.

Here is a little about what Kamryn had to say about her session with Moxie: “Working with Moxie Design was a really fun experience! Karen and her team make it a very memorable and enjoyable experience. For my pictures,  I was going for a very natural look outside with great sunsets. I also wanted to focus on my basketball pictures in my school gym.  My biggest fear was stepping out of my comfort zone and doing a bunch of different poses I was unsure of. Karen and her team made it so I felt like a natural during the whole shoot. I loved being able to try new looks and it was just an overall fun experience to be able to get my picture taken in a bunch of different types of scenery and all different sessions. The most memorable part of the session was trying on all the different prom dresses with my friend for the first session in being a part of the model team. Karen gets you to try new things and it’s a wonderful experience to step out of your comfort zone. She makes it easy to be comfortable with something you usually wouldn’t do. I love Moxie design because Karen was fun to work with and I loved all the pictures!”

One piece of advice that Kamryn has for other seniors getting their photos taken? “Do all the poses and pictures that you don’t think you’ll like because those usually turn out to be your favorite. “

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, Kamryn!!
