Meet Mary.
This Alleman senior / Moxie model was so much fun to work with.  We had some clear cut ideas about what Mary wanted to do with her session – use balloons and a Twister game as props and shoot in a sunflower field.  The day we met up, the magic definitely started happening.  I remember when I had Mary continually walking, jumping and running in the middle of a country road and when we captured one specific image, I got goosebumps.  That photo is still one of my favorites from this year, hands down.  

Here is a little about what Mary’s mom Maggie had to say about her session with Moxie:  “We were looking for someone who could capture Mary’s personality and beauty in pictures.  Karen was simply amazing! Mary was so calm and natural for the pictures. From the moment we met Karen, she hugged us like we were family she has not seen in awhile.  I was worried Mary would want to see every picture immediate after and delete every single one as the session went on, that did not happen. Karen and her assistant had Mary so calm and relaxed during the entire session. Mary’s pictures turned out simply stunning.  Our favorite part was seeing Mary’s pictures for the first time. They were beautiful, there was no way to choose. I also love seeing all the pictures that Karen takes of the other seniors. She makes everyone look like a model and they are simply just having fun.  I would highly recommend Karen and Moxie. She is a professional and truly cares about the seniors and the pictures. So worth it!!  I love Moxie Design because Mary’s pictures are simply stunning.”

One piece of advice that she has for other seniors getting their photos taken?  “Don’t be afraid to let Karen know what you are thinking of for your pictures and just relax and have fun.”

If she could describe her overall senior sessionexperience in one word, she would choose  “marvelous.”

I can’t finish this blog post without a shout out to my hair and makeup geniuses at Haus of Heir boutique salon in Davenport – you guys are amazing!

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

xoxo,

Karen
