Meeting up with Emma was an absolute blast. This girl is breathtakingly beautiful and looks like she just stepped off of the pages of Vogue.  A few days after her session, I had posted one of my favorite images of her on social media and it got picked up by not one, but two national high school senior publications as a favorite image (that’s never happened before in my four years of shooting)!  Here is what this Geneseo senior had to say about her shoot with us:

“I didn’t know what to expect since I have never taken professional pictures before, but Karen and her assistant made me feel very comfortable and the session was a lot of fun.  I was going for something more casual. I wanted these pictures to be a good reflection of the real me.  My biggest fear was not knowing what to expect, but it turned out to be a great experience.  My first location was at Blackhawk State Park. We decided on this setting because I wanted a causal setting. Here is where we spent most of our time with two outfit changes. My second location was downtown Rock Island as we took a few pictures in my homecoming dress.  I’d have to say that my most memorable moment would probably be when I met Karen. She was just as excited about this as I was and came in with a very positive attitude. She genuinely cared about me, which was why I had such a great experience.  I would recommend the Moxie experience to anybody. I would say that Karen and her assistant made me feel comfortable and welcomed. Although they do thus for hundreds of kids, they made me feel special and helped me come out of my shell.  I love Moxie Design because it was a truly unique experience and not your traditional senior photo session.”

What is one piece of advice Emma has for other seniors getting their photos taken?
“Be relaxed and enjoy the experience. Have the session reflect the natural you.”
