Meet Ahrein - Class of 2014 SP Model {North Texas Senior Photographer}

Hi SP Friends...

Today I want to introduce you to Ahrein another one of our 2014 SP Street Team Members {aka. Senior Model}.  Ahrein attends Venus High School and YES she is another Home Town Gal and I am delighted to have her join in the fun of representing Specialty Photography this year.    Aherin loves volunteering and is actively involved in a community service organization at her school called Key Club.  She also loves to run track and has earned many many awards throughout her time in High School {just wait till' you see all the medals in her track photo}  WOWEEEE!  This girl has won some awards :)

Ahrein loves to make people laugh, she loves to have fun, hang out with her family & friends.  In fact her three words to describer herself are:  Weird, Funny & Nice.  I will say that Ahrein has a bubbly personality, a huge beautiful smile and simply enjoys life.  She's a beautiful girl inside and out and I am glad to have the opportunity to get to know her and to capture her just as she is today as a Senior in High School.  This year big changes are ahead, so much to celebrate and one day this time in her life will be but a memory, my hope is that these images will always bring a smile to her face and joy to her heart as she remembers this her Senior Year.

When I chatted with Ahrein about her senior portraits she shared that she loves the Urban look, the Glam look and she wanted to incorporate her love of running and track into her photo shoot and so we did just that.  We meet up at the studio to go over clothing, to layout the shoot and then headed into town to grab some Urban photos, then headed to her high school for Sport Photos and then back to the studio to round out the session with lights, and lot of glam.  I was super excited too to have Ahrein's mom join us on the shoot as she is a Make up artist and did a fantastic job with Ahrein's make up and hair and OH!  she makes a fantastic light assistant too.  Lol!  I always love having extra hands with me during a shoot.

Here are a few of my favorites...

Following your view & order appointment we will get all your images ordered, feature you on our studio blog and create a facebook album that you can then share with friends & family via social media.  We simply ask that you continue to share photo credit and to not crop out our studio logo.

That's it!  The whole process is super easy, lots of fun and will leave you with amazing Senior Portraits that you will be proud to share and display.  So... don't miss out to SAVE 40% this summer on your Senior Session.  Book your session by AUGUST 1st to take advantage of this deal.

Jennifer is the president of a community service organization at Venus High School called Key Club and she just recently got inducted as the Lieutenant Governor of the organization; which means she not only serves here in her own community, but she also works with 10 other clubs at local area high schools.  I know she is going to do a fantastic job continuing to serve the community during her senior year.

We started Jennifer's Photo Shoot here at the studio and then we headed up to Venus for the rest of her session.  She wanted to incorporate her school, her community, and her style into her session.  I think she did a fabulous job with selecting her outfits for her shoot, to capture her just as she is today and all that is important to her.

Melinda | Class of 2013 | Venus, Texas Senior Photographer

Hi SP Friends...

Let me introduce you all to Melinda Serrato; a Senior at Waxahachie High School.  She is excited and looking forward to her graduation in June of this year.  I met up with Melinda and her mom Margarita just a few days ago for her Senior Photo Shoot.  We decided to meet in Waxahachie and hit the town to create a unique one of kind session just to showcase Melinda and her personality.  If you know Waxahachie at all you know that on any given day you will find photographers and clients all around shooting, having fun and creating priceless images and our day together was no different.  In fact, we had to scurry around looking for alley ways that were not already in use, thank goodness I have a ton of locations that I love shooting in Waxahachie.  We enjoyed a beautiful spring afternoon capturing amazing images of one beautiful young lady.    I truly loved getting to know Melinda and her mom and we simply had the best time hanging out, laughing and enjoying a beautiful afternoon.  Seniors are always so much fun to photograph, it's always such an exciting time in their lives and they are all so creative and up for just about anything during their shoot.

Here are just a few of my favorite images from her session...





Oh my goodness!!!  Look at her eyes... simply gorgeous!!







OMG...loved the light we had during her photo shoot.  Beautiful!



Yep!  Melinda rocked her session.  She is truly beautiful inside and out!!  I am honored to have had the opportunity to capture such a wonderful time in her life.  Thank YOU Melinda and Margarita for allowing me to be apart of this amazing time in your lives and I hope that you enjoy your images for many years to come.

Congratulations Melinda on your accomplishment and enjoy all the festivities that are coming up with Graduation... you deserve it!   Wishing you all the best :)
