Quad Cities Senior Photography | Meet Annalise

Meet Annalise.
If you follow our social media, then it is no news that this beauty is our Class of 2023 cover model!  Annalise is a part of the Class of 2022 model crew and this girl has the most amazing and hilarious personality (as well as being supermodel beautiful).  We met up with Annalise and her awesome mom Betsy for her session on a pretty perfect day.  I was super pumped because Annalise was open to the idea of incorporating a couple of non traditional wardrobe looks into her shoot, and we captured some pretty awesome images (one of which ended up being featured nationally a few times)!   She was up for getting into a creek, experimenting with hats, and allowed me to push that editorial envelope at the end of her session, incorporating my car into some shots.  There is never a shortage of laughter when we get together with this beauty – it feels as though we have known each other forever.

Here is a little about what Annalise had to say about her session with Moxie:
“My shoot was exactly like I pictured it to be. Karen did such an amazing job of coming prepared and guiding me along the way to ensure I felt comfortable and that my shoot was as fun as possible. She allowed me to try all the poses and additions I wanted to my shoot to make it personalized just for me, making it feel very special! Going into my shoot I was definitely nervous that I wasn’t going to feel comfortable taking pictures in such a public setting, but Karen and Sam were so so great at making me laugh and causing little distractions that helped me not even realize anyone else was even there! Getting get dressed up and going to all the different mini shoots all throughout the experience has to be my favorite part! The most memorable part of my session was probably the last part of my shoot. We did an editorial portion where I got to wear fun outfits that I usually would never wear in my daily life and use props like cars and such! My favorite picture is me sitting in front of the wall with leaves on it in my jeans and white shirt outfit because I love the traditional outfit and makeup and the way the backdrop and post go so well together! My experience with the Moxie was so much fun and the pictures turned out amazing! There were so many great places to take pictures! Sam and Karen are so great!”

One piece of advice that Annalise has for other seniors getting their photos taken? “Don’t be afraid to get in front of the camera!”

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

I have enjoyed working with you so much, Annalise!!  You are amazing!

Karen
