Marla Laramie Photography

Ok, so I’m a day late starting these Senior Spokesmodel Blog Features.  Sorry about that! I’ll try to keep on track now that I’ve gotten this project off the ground.  Remember, there will be a different 2011 Spokesmodel featured each day.  After all 10 girls are featured, I’ll announce the contest and voting details here on the blog.  The spokesmodel who receives the most votes will win a special prize (its a secret!).  And as an added incentive to vote, I will randomly draw one voter’s name for a Starbucks gift card.

First up (in no particular order) is Kyla, a 2011 Senior from Westminster Christian Academy.  If you know Kyla and would like to schedule a session, be sure to ask her for a card with a special offer.  Don’t forget to mention her name when you schedule your session!

I  asked each Spokesmodel to tell me which was their favorite image from their spring mini session, and why.  And I did a little Q&A with each girl to get to know a little more about all of them.  Read on to learn more about Kyla  …

Q:  Which is your favorite image from your spring mini session, and why?
Kyla:  “The one with my hair blowing because it’s me and I look relaxed.”

How did you hear about Marla Laramie Photography, and what made you want to be a spokesmodel?
I heard through seeing my friend’s pictures on facebook.  I figured I would be representing and promoting my photographer anyways so I figured if I got a bonus doing it then that would be awesome!

First, a few side notes.  Spring Break was a busy week, so be sure to tune in over the next few days for a the rest of my sneak-peek-a-palooza!  Also, I announced the first annual Pre-Prom mini sessions on Friday evening … and they filled up within hours, so I added a fourth spot … which also filled up immediately.  These Pre-Prom mini sessions are exclusive to my senior clients, as a way of saying thank you for your business.  I’m so excited about these and hope to make them an annual event.

Also coming soon, I’ll be announcing the details of a new series of limited edition “Senior Friends” mini sessions.  This will give you and your friends one more opportunity to get together as a group and capture some memories before you head off to college.  You’ll be able to split the specially priced session fee and each receive a couple of keepsake photographs to mark the event.  Stay tuned!

And now, on with the first sneak peek!

When I met Madisen for her senior session last week during spring break, we’d hoped to have some, well, spring-like weather.  Unfortunately we got cooler temps and cloudy skies instead.  That’s ok though, I can still work with cloudy and Madisen was a really good sport about the cold weather.   Madisen was a lot of fun to work with and every bit as sweet as she is beautiful.   Enjoy your sneak peek!

I forgot to add a little behind-the-scenes story to Madisen’s session.  See that cute red dress she’s wearing?  Well she also had the most adorable floral print shoes on.  And when I asked her if she’d mind taking her shoes off for a few shots, she was all for it.  Course we didn’t expect one of her shoes to fall into the water and float away!  Luckily we were able to catch the run-away shoe and rescue it.
