Meet Alex.
This Pleasant Valley senior was SO. MUCH. FUN. to work with – I can still remember his shoot like it was yesterday. It was an abnormally hot day in Iowa, but we had an absolute blast. Syd and I got to hear some amazing vocal skills from Alex (I mean, listening to live Opera vocal stylings isn’t a norm, but was a huge perk for this afternoon). I remember getting goosebumps listening to Alex sing and I seriously think he is going to take the world by storm with his God given singing ability. In addition to being musically talented and uber handsome, Alex had Syd and I laughing for basically his entire session. Not just a casual chuckle here and there, but tear forming laughs that made our sides ache. I also have to give him a shout out to Alex because I was obsessing over his Whitney tshirt!! I love when my job brings me to meet fantastic seniors and their parents and Alex and his mom are a wonderful example of that.

Here is a little about what Alex had to say about his session with Moxie: “My senior shoot was incredible. I felt amazing during the session, and as someone who doesn’t have the best self-esteem, it was such a great feeling to feel confident in myself. I wanted something a little different. My pride pictures were some of my favorites (you can tell in my facial expressions haha) and I was so happy that they turned out so well! Karen and her assistant were so very great at helping me relax, which was one of my biggest worries. I felt so at ease during my session, which allowed me to take the best pictures I could. The most memorable part of the session were the jokes we shared, mostly, which added to the feeling of relaxation that I felt during the session. We hadn’t been shooting for more than five minutes and I already felt as though we’d known each other for several years. Karen is so good at what she does! Not only does she take excellent pictures, but she is a great person and helped me feel comfortable during my session and she is a fantastic human being.

One piece of advice that Alex has for other seniors getting their photos taken? “Don’t be afraid to showcase what makes you who you are in your senior pictures. I walked into my photoshoot with the idea of doing a pride theme with a bit of apprehension, but I’m so happy with how they turned out.”

If he could describe his overall senior session experience in one word, he would choose  “unforgettable.”

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

Karen
