Meet Sydney.
This MHS beauty was one of our Class of 2022 Moxie models and we have had so much fun working with her over the past year!
Our first model team shoot was last March at the Botanical Center in Rock Island and the first click of my camera with Syd was absolute magic. I knew then and there that we would create some amazing images together.  Fast forward ten months and Syd has been featured nationally multiple times and she was even printed in a High School Senior editorial magazine – twice!  I love when we are able to incorporate meaningful locations into our sessions and we were able to shoot the majority of Sydney’s full session on her Grandparent’s property – which is absolutely breathtaking!  Towards the end of the shoot, Syd mentioned that she wanted to take a shot with her jeep in this field and of course I was totally down to the idea.  We had her back the Jeep up so that one angle of the frame would be lit by the sun and then set up our off camera flash to fill in the other side of the photo and that. shot. was. ahhhmazing.  Thanks for being a part of the Moxie crew, Syd, and for rocking every shoot!

Here is what Sydney had to say about her experience with us:
“My Moxie senior photo experience was great!  I felt very comfortable and Karen pushed me outside of my comfort zones too.  I chose a few different looks for my session but I really like my western look I did with my jeep. My favorite photo is the one where I was standing on the hood of my jeep in a field and the lighting made the picture look amazing! I was worried I would look awkward in pictures because I wouldn’t be able to relax, but after 5 minutes of taking photos I felt confident about taking pictures with Karen.  My favorite part of being a model was the thrift store challenge.  It made me pick a unique outfit that I probably wouldn’t normally wear.  I really liked how open Karen was with my ideas and how she tried hard to get good pictures of me and my dog even when he wouldn’t sit still.  I love Moxie Design because there were many opportunities throughout my senior year to do pictures and I had a fun time at every session.”

If Sydney could use one word to describe her senior photos, it would be “unique.”

One piece of advice that Sydney has for our upcoming seniors?  “Be confident about what poses you are put in and stay relaxed. I feel like this really helped me during my sessions and made my pictures turn out better by being confident.”  Great advice!!

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