It doesn't take a rocket scientist to take one look at this gal and realize that the camera was gonna agree with her.
A quick friend add on facebook after Mama Jodi called to set up her daughter's session told me that if there's a prettier gal at G-R... I'd like to know who it is. I don't think she exists.
Paige and her mother walked in a week ago Tuesday and all my preconceived notions were brought to life in front of me. But you wanna know what the bonus was?
She was just as witty and fun as she was beautiful.
It was just what the doctor ordered after an exhausting couple of days. They came in primed and ready for fun... and perhaps I should give credit where credit is due?
Almost every session I'll ask how my clients ended up at our studio. It usually gives me excellent insight into things we're doing right... what people think is important in their decision making process... and it always leads to great conversation.
In this case... it lead me to talk of a former client... some of my favs... The Purvis family!
In the previous couple of senior seasons... I had the honor and privilege of making senior images for siblings Hillary and Tanner Purvis... and got to know Mama Vicki quite well. I would count Vicki as either one of the biggest liars in history... or perhaps one of my biggest fans ever. (i know it's the latter) :)
I was informed that Tanner was the lucky man that got to escort Paige to prom last spring (high five, my man).... and it became clear that the Purvis clan was instrumental in getting Miss Kromas to land at our studio. Why? Over and over... both Kromas ladies told me... it was because the Purvis' family told them how much FUN they would have.
Sure... the images should be number one on the list... but after that? What is Paige, or anyone else gonna remember after the hair, clothing and pictures go out of style?
Answer? The experience.
It was yet another in what has been a month of epic sessions that all have seemed to go nearly twice as long as our brochure guarantees we will. But, I'm okay with that... Paige only does this once... and even though I might be running on 4 hours sleep for the 90th consecutive day... go-time means time to deliver... and one look at these images tell me that Paige's bubbly-to-sweet-to-diva-to-rocker-to-thoughtful-to-stylish personality shined through all afternoon long.
It's an honor to me every time a senior chooses our studio... but especially when it's a gal that cares a lot about how her image is gonna be portrayed. I told her that there were a lot of photographers that coulda made her look good... my hope is that she found the one that not only did that... but gave her the time of her life doing it.
Thanks for the awesome session Paige and Jodi... I hope it was worth the wait.
