Meet my friend Mollie. My mom & Mollie's mom were best buds back in the early 90's when we lived on the same street. I used to babysit this child and her sister with my sister! We fell out of touch, as life goes, many moons ago, but as fate would have it, her mom saw my sister while in the hospital where she works and one conversation lead to another until I got a call asking if I would take Mollie's senior photos. ABSOLUTELY! =]
We met at the house a.k.a. Allie B Photo Central. (totally getting a sign made, what!?!) and took off for downtown and ended up traipsing all over PKB. She is a total riot and wonderful model. Seriously, I kept stopping to stare because her eyes just popped in the photographs. When we talked about what she would like to see in her photos she said she loved Black & White and some thing "totally different." She is a self-proclaimed goofball and wasn't afraid to try anything. I think it showed it the variety of images we got. We also talked about the importance of taking a few photos that were just her and just beautiful. The kind of images that our kids will look at someday and remember how amazing we were. I think a truly straightforward but beautiful image can serve such a valuable purpose for our kids, and grandkids that they should never be forgotten, even in a senior shoot.
Mollie is heading to Fairmont State next year to study english and theatre, which as far as I can tell, is right where she needs to be. We hit the Smoot Theatre to try and get some shots with the stage door and the mural.. stopped for a slurpee and hit the playground and pond at the park before wrapping it up right as the sun went away. The weather was gorgeous and I was so glad to get this shoot in before the weather turns cold for good.
Here is a sneak peek, but all images can be see on the client proofing section of our website.
