Senior Picture Season 2010

This is the time of year when the creative juices really flow at K. Weatherwax Photography.  The class of 2011 have been making their way to the studio bringing their favorite outfits, tennis rackets, baseball bats,family dogs, pride-and-joy cars, boyfriends/girlfriends...  The goal being to capture who they are at this important milestone, to make that perfect portrait that says, "This is me.  I am unique and special.  There is no one else like me."  We do our best to show that in your portraits.  We will also shoot for the traditional portrait (for traditional grandmas and grandpas). 

Be sure to schedule your senior picture session now.   We are accepting senior picture appointments from now until October 16th.  Call the studio to request information - 765-564-4626.

 

  

 

Hey, Class of 2011 - It's Senior Picture Time!

It's senior picture time!  Last week, I invited some of next year's senior girls to come model for a special picture.  It was fun - lots of posing, laughing, and jumping.  We photographed them in sets and put them all together for a fun pano portrait.  Oh, check out the shoes.  Love it!

 

While we're talking about senior pictures, I'm looking to fill up my calendar with senior sessions in June (that's now - goodbye, May).  For those who book in June, the rewards are many:

• 10% discount on the 3, 5, and 7 pose packages
• Free watermarked image for social media
• Accordian Mini albums are on sale - regularly $20 each, $16 each in June for like albums, min of 3.
• Oh, and this is so cool - I'm partnering with Sassy's Salon this summer for seniors - Add $25 to your package price, get your hair and makeup done by Sassy's prior to your senior picture appointment.  Value of that great deal is $50!  Cool, huh!

Call the studio @ 765-564-4626 to get your June appointment now!

'Friday Night Lights' Newcomer

I think all my nieces and nephews are amazing, wonderful people.  But I'm bragging today about a nephew who is doing something pretty amazing.  Grey Damon's picture has been hanging in my studio window for a few months now. 

And now, the whole family is excited about his upcoming role on Friday Night Lights.  The season premier is May 7th on NBC.  Follow this link to read more.

It's Senior Picture Time!

 

Congratulations, Graduates!

It is not lost on me that I am often present at special family milestone moments.   From newborn portraits to senior pictures, I feel an awesome responsibility to do my best.  Recently, I was asked by four families to photograph three cousins and the two foreign exchange students who stayed with the families this school year.  The goal was to get fun images of the five grads-to-be in their caps and gowns.  We all had a great time, one they will remember, I’m sure (I know I will).  Here’s an image from that session:

 

While I’m at it, I’d like to congratulate all the seniors I have photographed this year, including senior reps Katie Randol, Krysta Reef, and Travis Yoakum (THANK YOU!).  Here are some of my favorite senior pics:

Gkid #5 Due Today

It is with great joy and fear that I come to this day.  I cannot wait to meet the little miracle that is soon to be born.  In stark contrast is the fear I have for my daughter's health and the new baby's safe delivery.  Oh, there's nothing wrong.  My daughter, Amanda, is having her third child.  Both previous deliveries seemed easy for her, and both babies were healthy.  I am just more aware than I need to be of what could go wrong since volunteering for the Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep Foundation - see other references in this blog. 

But, I don't want to talk about NILMDTS today, it's just too sad.  I want to bannish all sad and scary thoughts while waiting for the birth of this little one.  My daughter and son-in-law will find out the gender of this child when it makes it's grand entrance.  They have picked a girl's name but are struggling with a boys.  I've offered many suggestions, including Mario, a character in a video game my grandkids play, and Diego, the cousin to the famous Dora cartoon character.  I think those were nixed.  Hmmm.  You know, it doesn't even matter what they name this baby.  He/she will be so cute and wonderful, they could name it George Bush and I would love the name - well, maybe not.  Ha!

Well, I really need to go home, it's after midnight, but before I go...  Just finished a senior boy's images.  He's going to LOVE them.  Can't show you his, but I can show one of Krysta's.  I just love the red shoes in this one:

   

Here's one of Krysta's favorites:

 

Pretty eyes!   We had a fun session, Krysta!  Now go tell Katie you are on the blog! <inside joke>

Well, I'd better get home and get some sleep.  I may need some rest if this baby comes today.  Oh, if you have a cool boy's name, leave a comment.  Could be the name they will use.

A Privilege

I consider myself to be very lucky and can sincerely say that meeting high school seniors is one of the perks of my photography business.  This year, I have had the privilege of working with three wonderful seniors-to-be from Delphi High School.  My senior reps this year are Krysta, Katie, and Travis.  Thanks for all your hard work!  Best wishes for a great senior year!
