Meet Emma.
This beautiful Bettendorf senior and I met up last summer on a super warm afternoon.  The one downside to my job is that we are totally at the mercy of the weather and last year was one for the record books.  We had rain on more shoots than not and the summer was blazing HOT.  During Emma’s session, her mom was so amazing in helping to ensure that we kept any shine from her face and that her hair was always looking perfect, which was a HUGE help on a day with crazy hot and humid conditions.  We started out her shoot at Deere Wyman and it was the perfect backdrop to utilize these gorgeous flowers. If you follow my photography, you know that I love shooting through things, and we found this amazing spot to shoot through a fence.  There were these beautiful lavender flowers and we were able to capture some images that look like a perfume campaign. Emma was so sweet and had the most beautiful smile – I loved working with her!

Here is a little about what Emma had to say about her session with Moxie:
“It was a great experience. Karen made me feel very comfortable and confident throughout my entire session.  I wish that I could go and do it all again – it was a lot of fun and I loved being able to share the photos with my family afterwards! I was going for photos that were bright and happy.  I was worried about posing, but Karen directed me throughout the shoot so that I didn’t have to worry.  I loved when she shot through a fence because it ended up being the perfect frame for my face. The most memorable part of the day would have to be going to cool down in a random building and ending up finding the perfect cool lighting by an elevator.   I love Moxie Design because Karen made me feel so confident while I was shooting.”

One piece of advice that Emma has for other seniors getting their photos taken?  “I would take my photos later in the year when it is less hot.”

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

Thank you for letting us be a part of your senior year, Emma!!

Karen
