It’s that time of year again where we get to recall our favorite sessions and share their images and stories here with you on our blog. Meet Payton, a Class of 2020 Moxie model and senior & golfer at Moline High School. During Payton’s full session, we were out on the golf course at Pinnacle and it started raining and lightening, which made us high tail it out of there before going out on the course. I had a separate area in mind that may work for some experimental golf images using light, so with Payton’s permission, we relocated the last portion of his shoot. We had so much fun (even though we got rained on again) and those images ended up getting featured nationally more than once, so in the end, it was definitely worth the travel and rain!

Here is a little about what Payton had to say about his session with Moxie:
” A senior photo session with Moxie Design is by far the coolest experience that you will have – my session was amazing! Karen made everything so fun and as comfortable as possible. I wanted a casual shoot and a more formal shoot as well and Karen did an amazing job picking the right places and having me look the part of being a model. My biggest fear was that it would be super weird sitting there doing weird faces. Karen made everything super relaxed and makes you feel like a rockstar. My favorite element of my senior photos would by far the cool places we got to do the shoots at. I didn’t know half of these places would be so amazing for a picture and they turned out awesome – I love every single picture. The funniest moment would have to be the pop up changing tent. It was so funny trying to fit my 6’2 self inside that thing. I love Moxie Design because
the whole moxie crew are the nicest people you’ll ever meet.”

***(Since Payton’s session, we actually got a brand spankin’ new changing tent that is 6″ taller, so guys, worry no more)! ***

One piece of advice that Payton has for other seniors getting their photos taken? ” Just be yourself and don’t try to go out of your way to change the way you look.”

If Payton could describe his overall senior session experience in one word, he would choose  “Sensational!”

Congrats on your upcoming graduation, Payton! Thanks for letting us be a part of your senior year!

xoxo,
Karen
