Quad City Senior Photography | Bryce’s session

I knew going into Bryce’s session that we were going to get some pretty cool shots factoring in his wardrobe looks, our locations and his passion for football. What I didn’t expect was how much fun we would have over the next couple of hours. We ventured from place to place and this Wethersfield High School senior absolutely came alive in front of the camera. I remember that he definitely leaned to having more serious images taken than smiling, so every time we would hear music from a car passing by, I would start dancing. Did I look completely ridiculous? Absolutely. Bud did I get some genuine smiles out of him this way? Yes, 100%.

Here is what Bryce had to say about his session with Moxie Design –
“It was a fun experience and you should get your pictures done by Karen. The most memorable part of my senior session was having so many laughs. Describing the experience in one word? Awesome.”

His advice to seniors getting ready to have their photos taken? “Be loose and act yourself.”
I couldn’t put it better myself, Bryce.
Cheers to an amazing senior year! xoxo

Quad Cities Senior Photography | Jaime’s Model Session

I knew the minute that I met Jaime that we would create some beautiful images together so I was super pumped for the day of her session… until I looked at the weather. The forecast showed 100% chance of rain for most of the day, but the radar map showed that it was hit or miss, so we decided to move ahead with her session and throw caution to the wind. Location #1 – Rain. Jaime worked through it like a pro and didn’t let it phase her. We had intermittent showers, but we also had the amazing cloud cover, so we rolled with it. Next up? Location #2 – More rain (however this time the storm was amazing because the sun peeked through the clouds and we were able to capture the most beautiful sun rays in some of her images. Location #3 – Rain again. By now, I was super frustrated with Mother Nature, but we scooted under a Willow Tree and waited for it to pass. Location #4? You guessed it – RAIN! We had our off camera flash setup ready to go and we shot in between rain drops and captured some absolutely breathtaking images.

Jaime was going for a boho chic look for most of her session, adding in some volleyball editorial images and she absolutely nailed it. Jaime said the following about her time with Moxie:
“My senior photo session couldn’t have been better. During my session the weather was unpredictable. It rained off and on throughout the session but it ended up making for some really cool shots. It was so much fun and I felt very comfortable modeling for Karen . Having a down to Earth, nice and funny photographer makes all the difference and that definitely shows in the pictures. My biggest fear for my senior session was how the pictures would turn out – and they turned out absolutely amazing. Karen is the best senior photographer in the area. The pictures turn out amazing and she makes you feel very comfortable (which is something a photographer should do because the pictures turn out better when you are yourself. My experience was FANTASTIC!”

Stay tuned for another blog post featuring the beautiful Jaime as we made our way to a sunflower field one afternoon this summer. Love you, Jaime! xoxo

Quad Cities Senior Photography | Amy’s Midwestern Session

To say that I was excited to shoot Amy’s senior session may be the understatement of the year.
Amy and I go way, way back… here’s the story:

Amy’s mom is my amazing cousin, Julie. I have always looked forward to their trips to the Quad Cities (as they live in Colorado) and have enjoyed watching Amy and her brother Matthew grow from tiny toddlers to (gasp) young adults.
I was so excited when I got the message last year that Amy wanted me to do her senior photos. Fast forward to this June, when the entire fam came into town and we got to spend a week together, which was so much fun!

We took time the day before her shoot to get her outfits selected, pull some props from the Moxie Style Closet and get everything loaded and ready to go. We kicked off Amy’s session at the amazing Haus of Heir boutique salon in Davenport and they made her feel & look absolutely breath taking. The only thing that Amy knew she wanted in her images were some balloons and she had the perfect dress to compliment that look. I LOVE the images that we captured because they look so playful and full of color (good call, Amy)! When we finished Amy’s session, we headed directly to Whitey’s (one of a few trips we made there during their week long stay) and I couldn’t say enough about how wonderful the images were going to turn out. Below are some of my faves (shout out to Hannah at HOH as she makes a guest appearance in the first few images – Hi Hannah!). Congrats on your senior year, Amy! I am so glad that I got to be a part of kicking off your last year in high school and can’t wait to see what the future holds for you. Love you bunches! xoxo

Quad City Senior Portraits | Maya’s gorgeous senior session

Maya’s senior session was my first official Moxie model shoot for the Class of 2017 and we couldn’t have kicked off the season any better! This Geneseo High School senior is not only absolutely STUNNING, but she is as sweet as can be. This soon to be fashion merchandising / fashion design major wanted to incorporate some vintage vibes into her images as well as a high fashion look, which we were able to do by playing with some accessories & off camera lighting. Maya brought four looks to her session, which she thought made for the perfect amount of wardrobe changes with the amount of time we had to shoot. I can’t pick just one thing that I love about this girl and her session, but one of my faves is that she didn’t shy away from LIP COLOR! I tell this to my girls all of the time and they never believe me / want to take the plunge on experimenting with some bold lip colors (even in the last few images). Maya’s bold choices made for some killer images, one of which was featured multiple times by numerous national high school senior publications (get it, girl!). I love her fearless attitude and the fact that she hiked for what seemed like miles in the most gorgeous prom dress that I’ve ever seen. Top that with the fact that she even climbed a tree wearing said dress and I mean she basically wins an award for being super AHH-Mazing.

Maya’s feedback from her session revealed that she would tell her friends that “a senior experience with Moxie Design is the best experience you will have” and that we will “take the the best photos ever.” Bonus in that she left her thoughts with “Karen makes it so fun and makes you feel super comfortable” and in one word, she would describe her overall experience as memorable.

Look for more on this gorgeous girl come winter time… we may have something in the works.
Sending lots of love and hugs your way, beautiful! I’m so happy to have your beautiful face representing Moxie Design for the Class of 2017.

xoxo,

Karen

Quad Cities Senior Photography | Austin’s Session

I knew that Austin was going to have some spectacular images from the first shot
that I took when we were testing the lighting.To say that he is photogenic is the understatement of the year –
let’s get this guy set up with a modeling contract – STAT!

I was so proud of him – he came prepared with some killer style and wasn’t afraid to try different things in front of the camera (which always produces amazing images – future seniors: take note)!
Special shout out to Austin and his amazing mom, Teena for helping me capture a creative image. I had read in Austin’s information sheet that he enjoyed fishing. Being the daughter of an avid fisherman, as soon as I saw that I knew that I had to try to capture something epic.
I will tell you that anyone that saw us taking this shot would have thought we were crazy, fishing off the wrong side of the levee – Teena pulling down on the line to get a bend in the rod, etc. but I was able to piece together a pretty fun shot through photoshop that turned out well.
Cheers, my friend, on your graduation!
