Senior-itis!
April Showers Bring May Scholars
It has been a busy and wonderful senior year for my beautiful Rio, and I am sad to see it coming to a close! I am not sure if you noticed, but the email marketing and the blog posts have slowed wayyy down since I have been focused on both my kids' development this year. It has come with more challenges than I ever expected, which has caused me to put down the overtime I had become accustomed to putting in.
While volunteering, networking, blogging, social media, etc., have slowed down, our time spent together has gone up, and for that I am glad.This school year was a year of being PRESENT with my kids, and as hard as it is juggling all my different hats, I don't regret putting the work away to watch an episode of X-Files or spend 2-3 nights a week on the mat with them at Tae Kwon Do. Did you know RIO is taking TAE KWON DO?? I am SO proud of her stepping out of her comfort zone. It was a challenge for her to even imagine herself in that class, but she stood in her power when she was at her weakest, and chose to try it for 30 days. Guess what? 30 days have passed and she hasn't even realized it. She loves it! This has been a year of rapid growth for all 3 of us.
With all that said, the year has moved fast for every other senior parent I strike up a conversation with. Since I've been focused on Rio (and with that, SENIOR PORTRAITS), I have done some extensive work in perfecting the studio's offerings when it comes to senior products. I've added options for metal prints, a robust planning meeting to get the most out of customized sessions, and some cool new tabletop products for mementos. I even realized our Senior Oatmeal Boxes can be used as a memory box that can hold all their trinkets, certificates, and awards.
I have been so privileged to photograph several seniors, and here are some highlights of the custom senior sessions below, excluding a couple of the latest ones. Each senior who booked a custom session is being given the opportunity to be featured in my upcoming Portrait Exhibit, "Embrace Uniqueness" that will be taking place May 19th and 20th at our studio in Tomball:
Interactive Portrait Exhibit Announcement: Senior Class of 2023 - "Embrace Uniqueness"
My goal with this exhibit is to nurture an environment of positivity toward all who are featured, and educate those who attend on the importance of embracing Uniqueness as Beauty. I believe each person's uniqueness is truly what makes them handsome or beautiful, and I am using this Exhibit as a conduit to that message. I want our kids (and especially my clients) to embrace and love how they look, just as they are.
Portraits used in the Exhibit will have minimal retouching to help fight against the practice of excessive retouching in social media images and the photography industry.
DATES:
- May 19th 5pm-8pm
- May 20th 5pm-8pm
LOCATION
- Our studio in Tomball: 928 W. Main Street, Tomball, TX 77375
I am so excited to highlight these fantastic individuals and create memories for the time they are enjoying right now. With each print, I know their memory will be seen for years to come. Enjoy highlights of The Class of 2023 Seniors below!
