Meet  Maddie.

I have had the honor of working with Maddie a few times over the course of the 2017-2018 school year and every time I photograph her, I am amazed by her eyes – they are gorgeous!   This future Dental Hygiene major is absolutely stunning as you will see from her images below.  I remember the day of her session like it was yesterday – super hot and humid.  Did Maddie let this affect her session?  Not for one second.  In fact, we embraced the heat when we got into Duck Creek, making for a memorable session.  Thanks for being a part of the Class of 2018 Moxie model squad, beautiful!!

Here is a little about what Maddie had to say about her session with Moxie:

“I was going for a look that would show my bubbly and bright personality. I wanted pictures I could look back to in the future and still love. Karen did a wonderful job portraying these things.   My shoot was 3 weeks before school started and it was a great start to my senior year. Karen made my session absolutely fantastic! It was substantial due to her making me comfortable, beautiful, and confident. She is extremely good at what she does and you can tell she loves doing it! She is a genuine person and is so inspiring. She works very hard to make your ideas a reality! I had multiple props and ideas and they turned out exactly how I wanted. My family and I went to my premier revel session and no one could just pick one favorite. So of course we had to buy them all! It is 6 months later and I find myself looking back at my photos because I am still astonished by Karen’s work.  It was a hot day in July with a high of 95 degrees. I was very worried what my makeup and hair would be ruined but the final results looked amazing!  I overall loved getting to know and work with Karen, Max, and all the other models. The group shoots were so fun! I was nervous at first but everyone’s goofy jokes and compliments made me feel comfortable. I made friends with a group of sweet girls and I still keep in touch with them. I stepped out of a my comfort zone and it was well worth it!  The most memorable moment was when we hiked down a cold but refreshing stream. Max was carrying the rocking chair we used as a prop. Karen was all prepared in her rain boots. I was barefoot trying not to slip while wearing a sundress. It was so worth the hike down the little stream because we got to the main stream with a breathtaking view.  If I were telling my best friend about Moxie, I would say 10/10 would recommend !! It was so fun and positive. The day felt all about me and they made me feel like a supermodel! My hair and makeup was done perfectly by the team at Haus of Heir. It made me feel super confident along with Karen and Max’s positive comments.   I love Moxie Design because Karen does everything possible to make you feel so confident and special during your shoot day.”

One piece of advice that Maddie has for other seniors getting their photos taken?
“Do not be nervous! Relax and enjoy it. You will cherish these memories forever.”

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

Thanks for the kind words and for letting us be a part of your senior year, Maddie !!

xoxo,

Karen
