Meet Megan.

This gorgeous soon to be Pleasant Valley graduate and I met up on an absolutely freezing day in November.  I was so proud of her for not letting the cold weather have an affect on her session – she rocked it like a super model.  What’s super exciting is that one of her photos from this session was featured nationally in Senior Year Magazine!  What could be better than that?  Only one thing – having Megan work with me during the summer months as one of my assistants on photo shoots.  She’s already killing it and I can’t wait to see what magic we will cook up together this summer!
Okay, now on to what Megan had to say about her session with us:

“The look that I was going for during my senior photo shoot was about fashion and style. I wanted the photos to capture my fun personality with various on-location backgrounds while wearing some of my favorite outfits.  My photographer, Karen Bishop, was so fun, professional, inspirational, and amazing to work with during my senior photo session experience! She guided me with every suggested pose, hairstyle, outfits & accessories, and location to bring out the best results. I have recommended her work to my friends and just love sharing my experience with others.  Since I wanted outdoor photos and had made my photo session for early November, I was worried about the weather. The day was a bit cold but I was determined to wear my chosen outfits and rock my photos with confidence. Karen guided me through the entire process with such grace and humor that it helped me get through the chilly photo shoot.  My favorite part of my Moxie Senior Experience was being made to feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera. Karen took the time and used her knowledge to help guide me during the photos to get just the right shot! She has a great sense of humor and really made me feel at ease the whole time.  Since I wanted a fashion style photo shoot, Karen helped choose my locations to be a more downtown/urban feel for the final images. She has such a good eye for seeing the “perfect spot” in something that I would have probably walked right by and not noticed.  he most memorable moment of my session happened when Karen and I were walking down an alley, looked to our right, and saw a beautiful wall of fall colored leaves trailing up it. She immediately had her assistant remove the garbage cans and other trash near that wall to clear out a path for me to stand in for some photos. These turned out to be the most amazing and favorite shots of the session!   The senior experience with Moxie is an opportunity that every senior should consider for their senior photos . Karen’s keen photography skills and ability to have fun during the photo session always leads to beautiful and engaging results in the final photo production. Every pose is done with perfection and she captures her subjects personality with ease.”

What is her advice for seniors that are getting ready to do their senior photo shoot?  “My best advice for seniors getting their photos taken is to relax and believe in the process. Trust in Karen and her unique photography skills to capture unbelievable photos of you. You won’t believe how good she makes you look with each click of the camera!”

If she could describe her senior experience in one word, she would choose “Phenomenal”
