Senior Elite Model | Sam Fort Zumwalt South ‘11

I was so excited that Sam was ready to get her images done so soon! It can be a little boring in the winter time. But, if you live here too, I’m sure I’m preaching to the choir. Sam is one of my Senior Elite Models for the class of 2011. She attends Fort Zumwalt South. And, she LOVES theater, singing, etc. Talented all around. She has dreams of being on Broadway.

When discussing with Sam what she wanted to do for her portraits, she immediately told me “THE FOX“. Of course, we did everything we could to get them to let us take photos inside, but they had other things happening at the time. They did give us a number to arrange something, so we may try again later. Who knows. But, all of the textures and buildings, and scenes around The Fox Theater simply mesmerize me. Grand is one hoppin’ place and it was fun to shoot there. We even had a little snow on the ground. I simply love when seniors “get it” and want to incorporate something about their life, aspirations and dreams, and more into their images. It’s all about creating art and not cheesy poses. Right?

One of the first of my senior elite models, it was pretty fun! I can’t wait till we shoot the other reps, too. Here are a few of my favorites from the session, so you can get a taste! If you’re a friend of Sam’s, be sure to ask her how you can save on your senior session with Holly McCaig Seniors!

Mad props to my cousin, Nick, for filling in for my regular assistant. He made us feel a little bit safer down there on Grand. :)

Lexie’s Senior Studio Session

Finished working on Lexie’s images from our studio session this past weekend. Lexie is one of my models from Fort Zumwalt East High School. She graduates in ‘11 but we’re getting a head start on some of her images.

I am really trying to show more of what we can do in the studio for those on smaller budgets, or that want to get in and out quickly. Hey guys, I’m talking to you! Again, the Basic Studio session is just $75 and gets you 30 minutes of great shots. Mostly headshots but a few full shots. If weather permitting, we can even run outside the studio for a few outdoor shots. Book your senior session early to avoid waiting too long this summer and fall! www.hollymccaigseniors.com
