So last year I got a lot of calls from mothers of senior boys. Over half of these conversations started out by asking “Do you photograph senior guys?”
My response was always the same “of course I do,” which I thought went without saying. Taking a look at my website after the first few calls, a light bulb went off in my head – I completely understood why I was getting this question so frequently. There may have been a handful of shots incorporating the High School Senior guy, but 90% of the images were featuring senior girls. I get it, the girls are definitely more focused on the fashion aspect of their senior photographs, where as the guys are typically getting their photos done to appease mom & dad. What could we do to get the word out there that Moxie Design wasn’t a studio who shot senior girls exclusively? We decided to make a marketing video showcasing what a session looks like for the senior guy.
Enter Will. Will was a referral from one of my amazing Class of 2016 Moxie girls and I am so thankful that we were able to connect. The day of Will’s session was unseasonably cold, which was odd because fall was warmer than it typically is. The winds were insane (topping out around 50 miles per hour or so weather.com told us) and it was freezing with a capital F. Both Will & his mom Vanessa were troopers through the entire afternoon and Will absolutely rocked his images. The best part about Will’s shoot was that we were able to incorporate places that were special to him, along with one of his main loves & interests – Dirt Bike Racing! We had so much fun that afternoon, and even though I couldn’t feel my fingertips the entire ride home, it was way more than worth it.
