Alyssa and I have been planning her senior portrait session for months. And it couldn't have turned out better. First, we started with hair/makeup by Jeni from Just Teazin Hair. We chatted away as we were getting ready.
Our behind the scene pictures in my studio with my iPhone:
All ready for the studio shoot!
Alyssa wanted to make sure we incorporate her trumpet and cheer uniform so we decided to use them for the studio shots.
And few shots without the trumpet b/c the dress looked FABULOUS on her.
In her cheer uniform:
Then we headed out to downtown Loveland to get wardrobe styling done by Kali from Vintage Willows, 202 E. 4th St. Loveland, CO (Alyssa already visited Kali at the store a week before to pick out her wardrobe). After a quick change, we met up with my awesome assistant, Marissa. Then Alyssa, Jeni, Marissa, and I walked down the street to capture these photos. Jeni came on location to help fix Alyssa's hair while Marissa held the reflector for me.
Then off to another location. For a different look, Jeni put the braid in front of Alyssa's hair and refreshened her makeup.
The photo above is one of my favs and just made it on 20x30 canvas. SO AWESOME!
After 5 1/2 hours, we wrapped our photo shoot. We heard thunder from the storm rolling in a few miles away so it was a good time to head out.
Once I got home, the real work began. After spending about 30 hrs of post processing, the images were finally ready for our in-person viewing and we set up our appointment. Alyssa, her mom, Jan, and her dad, Bob, came to see and we. had. a. BLAST! They LOVED the images. YAY! Jan teared up as soon as the slideshow began which also made me tear up and we joked about how she was going to manage at Alyssa's wedding in the future. It was such a difficult decision but they narrowed down the images that were to be printed (the images above). Then the products arrived in 4 business days (woot!) and Alyssa came to pick them up. Her words, "I LOVE THEM ALL!" Then later, I got this message from Jan:
Sandra,
The album, the prints, and the canvas were absolutely beautiful! The whole Senior picture experience could not have
been more perfect! In fact, I already need to order more prints!
This made me so happy I was all smiles ear to ear. Thank you Alyssa, Jan, Bob, Jeni, Kali, and Marissa.
For the ultimate experience, book your senior session now.
