A decade ago, we wouldn't have even been having this discussion.
Heck... we didn't even have a blog back then.
Clearly a lot has changed in the past five or ten years. A large part of my job involves making this blog... posting to social media... Updating our website.
Twitter. Instagram. Facebook.
We've posted literally thousands of images over the last several years and your response has been overwhelming. All the comments, retweets and likes not only lets our client know what you think... but it gives us feedback on what's working well.
And if that's any kind of accurate indicator, Triston Lasley is well liked.
Of all the thousands of images we've posted over the years, the first image of this blog takes the cake.
It doesn't necessarily have to mean anything other than in our studio's history, I can't recall any singular image skyrocketing up the charts to the tune of 400+ Facebook likes in just a couple of days. Triston's Native American full regalia explosion of color and detail has lit up my phone for the past 48 hours since his initial Instagram/Facebook teaser was posted. Indeed, I think nearly all of Meskwaki Nation has given it the social media thumbs up!
In retrospect, the 30+ minutes it took for Triston and his mama Nahmi to get him all warrior-ed up at the end of his senior session was certainly worth it. Right down to taking extra time to make sure his tail-feathers stood up properly!
Sure we took the time to bang out solid senior images of Mr. Lasley prior to that point... we even chronicled his membership on one of the best Class 2A football teams in the state of Iowa... and made a sweet-as-heck collage for his real love... hoops (it's almost time to hit the hardwood, Triston... bet you can't wait, can ya?) But at the end of the day, the most eye popping images we made that day were when our senior paid tribute to his heritage.
It should be interesting to see what number of likes that Triston's image eventually settles in at, but for now we'll just safely assume that we did good on that day.
Thank you all for your interest and support... and hats off to Team Lasley for their efforts and for choosing Stewart Photography!
