Takayla, one of our Senior Models from Alliance High School, asked us for a session that she could do with snow. We thought that we were done at the beginning of the week. However, when you think that the weather is going to change towards warmer weather – mother nature throws a curve ball. Fortunately for us the curve ball was hit and we were able to squeeze in a snow session for Takayla.

We also had some time to capture some images in our studio. Showing this image to Takayla on the back of my camera gave a remark of  ”I love it, and there is nothing behind me.” This was an image taken on a white backdrop, which gives the appearance of having nothing behind the senior. Some seniors either love it – or  they do not. There’s usually not too many in betweens for this backdrop.

Again we had a great time photographing Takayla – thank you for coming to our studio again.

If you would like to see what we do in our studio – do not hesitate to call us 330-821-7714 or send us an email to book an appointment.

Paige was a recent senior that came to our studio.

Outdoor Session
Well that was an interesting session today. Not only is it the end of November (should be cold) but it was raining first thing in the morning and we were looking to do some outdoor portraits. After seeing Paige and her grandmother pull up in her grandmother’s BMW convertible – there was no question that we were going out to “play”. Lucky enough, the rain stopped for a little while, we had some portraits done and then ran back to the studio to finish off her session.

Paige is a natural when it comes to being photographed. The images below show how different she can look with very little wardrobe change and little to no direction from the photographer.

Erika came in for another session, which is part of being a senior model at our studio.

The image below was the image that she LOVED and all that she saw of it was on the back of the camera. Now that she can see the image larger, I am sure that she will like it even more.

Erika – thank you for being such a great senior model for our company. We are having a great time capturing your senior images, and we hope that you are having fun as well.

Kurt came in to our studio today to have his senior pictures done. To say that he is busy is an extreme understatement. Being part of the Marlington Dukes Football team this year has made the first half of his senior year ALL ABOUT football. The team was undefeated in their regular season (10 – 0), which has never been done before. Now they are 11-0, as they defeated Minerva last week.

Being a football guy, we made sure that we capture some portraits of Kurt with his football gear. One thing that we made certain was that he was NOT smiling while in his uniform – well kind of. We had some smiling pictures, but most of them we wanted to make him look like a football player. That means look tough!!

Having his senior pictures done was not as tough as football, and he came away from this experience with less bruising. We promise that if you have any bruises from your senior session, they will disappear in about 2-3 weeks.

Here is an image of Cody and his father’s toy. For those of you that know vintage trucks, this is a ’64 Scout. Cody and his dad worked on this vehicle some years ago to do  complete restore on it – and from what I was told there was very little rust on the body or frame, and the engine was barely broken in at 80K+ miles.  Soon this will be Cody’s ride – and what a nice ride it is. But that’s OK because dad has 2 Scouts.

Cody played for the Sebring Football team( the Trojans), and they had their best year. Congrats on breaking a few records guys – I hope that your team breaks more records again next year.

During another session, Cody came in and was also asked his girlfriend to come in and do some formal pictures with him. It was too funny watching how this young couple interacted, plus they had a blast being photographed – which is one of the great benefits of photographing Seniors.

Usually you have thoughts of Santa up on the roof top, but today we have Miranda up on roof top.

Here is the image that we captured from this afternoon, as well as a short video of the senior getting onto the roof.

Brittni is a new Senior Model from Perry High School, and she is the first senior that we photograph from this school. We were exited that she signed up for our senior model program, and we know that she will love being a senior model for us.

The image below shows Brittni in a dance pose. Backdrop is our graffiti walls in the basement of our studio.

If go to Perry High School, and would like to get some senior images that are different from what you have normally seen, give us a call or send us a note.

We have received several phone calls lately from parents that wanted to know if it was too late to schedule a senior session.

Our answer: Its never too late. Give us a call and we will fit you into our schedule somewhere. Do you need to have an image submitted to the yearbook staff soon, but don’t know how to get this done? Call us, we have a solution for you.

Check out some images from our 2011 seniors.

Ashley is one of our Marlington High School senior this year.

Tennis is one of her pass times – so we did some of her senior images at the tennis court behind her school. One thing that I found out is that she can really hit those tennis balls. In one of my less then smart moves, I asked her to start hitting some balls towards me. I wanted to catch some “action” shots. Fortunately no photographers were hurt in capturing Ashley’s senior pictures, but I certainly learned to get action shots from a different vantage point when I photograph other tennis players. Good thing I did not learn this lesson out while photographing a football player or a lacrosse player.

If you are a Marlington High School 2011 Senior, and you have not had your senior images done yet, and you need an image for the yearbook – its never too late. We can help you schedule a time at our studio, capture some images and have the yearbook image that you select sent to your school that same day. Please contact us ASAP so that we can schedule a session. Click here to send us an email.

We have had a fun couple of sessions with Jade since we met her at the Stark County Fair in August. Everytime she comes in, we laugh so hard because she has a tough time getting serious. That is ok – her smile is infectious. Thank you for being one of our Senior Models, Jade.
