Meet Kennedy. I can’t believe it has been almost a year that I’ve been working with this supermodel! We first met at our prom shoot and Kennedy looked like she had just stepped out of the pages of a magazine (you can check out our prom blog post later today)!! She has a beautiful smile and this incredible energy and is always up for any idea or thought that we would throw her way. We started off her main session along the river, where she skis, and it was the perfect setting. Kennedy got in the water, balanced on a log in the water – you name it, she did it!! Then we headed downtown and were able to capture some really cool urban shots. We ended the night with her parents and grandparents on the top of a parking garage. It was really special to have her family there while we were working with her dad’s jaw dropping Cuda. Every time we got to shoot with Kennedy was like we were working with a professional model – she was born to be in front of a camera!!
Here is a little about what Kennedy had to say about her session with Moxie: “My experience was incredible! There were so many new poses to try and places to shoot. I didn’t really go into the shoot with one style in mind. Karen made that work and we tried different styles and places to make sure that there were some photos and ideas that I would like! Going into the shoot, I was nervous that I just wouldn’t look good. Or that my smile would be off, or my eyes wouldn’t look right. Once I saw the photos I realized I had nothing to be worrying about. Plus, Karen always made sure to speak highly and confident about a pose to calm my nerve and ensure me that it would look great! My favorite part of my Moxie experience would have to be the energy. Karen made me feel beautiful and got me hyped after every shot. There was such a positive atmosphere and Karen as so sweet and is always down to try something for a certain shot or style that you want. The vibe was wonder and we were all there having a great time! We got to incorporate my dad’s 1970 fully restored AAR Cuda. Karen did a great job shooting myself with this car. My family was there and I knew it meant so much to my dad! We had so much fun shooting with the car and the ski! I love Moxie Design because we got to have so much fun and try new things to get different pictures that I got to fall in love with!”
One piece of advice that Kennedy has for other seniors getting their photos taken? “Don’t be afraid to try something new or go out of your comfort zone for a shot!”
If she could describe her overall senior session experience in one word, she would choose “fun!”
I have enjoyed working with you over the past year, Kennedy! I cannot wait to see you in the pages of magazines and on billboards!
