Bohemian Session Part II

noreply@blogger.com (David Quisenberry) — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 03:32:00 +0000

Peyton has the Bohemian spirit inside her. Her favorite weekend event is to go shopping at Goodwill, garage sales and then the most expensive kid's store in town. She plans her outfits without any input from her mom (including the ones shown below) and amazes me with the combinations she can come up with. She has already told me she will be a fashion designer when she grows up. Here are some of my favs from Peyton's session.

Bohemian Part I

noreply@blogger.com (David Quisenberry) — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 03:15:00 +0000

If you follow my blog you will probably recognize Brennan. She visits me about once a year for themed portraits. This year we chose a Bohemian style. I can always count on Brennan's mom,
Kristen, to bring in the perfect outfits and matching that with the fact that Brennan loves to model we always have a great time. I am enclosing a few from Brennan's session. Next time I will include some images from Part II of the Bohemian Themed sessions.

Meet Chandler

noreply@blogger.com (David Quisenberry) — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 14:50:00 +0000

Chandler recently came in for her first portrait session with me. I knew immediately we had to really show her incredible blue eyes so we made sure to include my white on white lighting. As you can see below she was a natural for the camera. I think mom, dad and the grandparents agree!

Art meets Style

noreply@blogger.com (David Quisenberry) — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 00:34:00 +0000

When Aleesha said she wanted something different for her senior portraits, I knew I was going to have fun photographing her.. and fun it was. Along with some very stylish and fashionable images, we worked together to create a cutting edge art piece which is now displayed as a wall portrait in her home. I truly love this image and wish you could see if life size as I have.

OK, enough about the art piece - I'm getting all misty-eyed. Below are more of my favorites from Aleesha's session.

Fun with Sarah

noreply@blogger.com (David Quisenberry) — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 15:44:00 +0000

Just before Sarah's senior session we had this great idea to use some balloons in some of her portraits. Mom was kind enough to go buy a huge balloon bouquet. Thanks mom! Here are a few of my favs.

I have to add this one, too. I love it when seniors come up with an original outfit, especially if it includes a hat, scarf, etc.

Meet Madelyn

noreply@blogger.com (David Quisenberry) — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 00:57:00 +0000

I really enjoyed Madelyn's senior session. We photographed her with two looks: straight hair with neutral makeup and then teased hair with a smokier look. It was great photographing 2 different looks with the same senior. Below are a few of the images I really liked.

Meet Hailey

noreply@blogger.com (David Quisenberry) — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 14:33:00 +0000

Hailey spends alot of her time on the soccer field. I think she will admit she is more comfortable in casual clothes instead of in a fashionable dress with heels. However, when she does dress up it is very obvious that she is a beautiful senior. I could post Hailey's entire portrait session on here and honestly say each was a favorite. Picking a few probably isn't fair to those who are reading my blog.

Meet Alyson

noreply@blogger.com (David Quisenberry) — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 14:24:00 +0000

I had a fun time creating Alyson's senior portraits. She is very laid back, can't keep from smiling and had some great ideas for her senior portraits. Here are a few of my favs from her session.

Meet Meghan

noreply@blogger.com (David Quisenberry) — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 09:35:00 +0000

I recently created Meghan's senior portraits. Meghan has a great eye for fashion so she naturally brought lots of great outfits which made choosing the ones we would use difficult, but fun. Here are a few of my favorites from Meghan's session.

Christie: Sports and Style

noreply@blogger.com (David Quisenberry) — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 11:41:00 +0000

Christie has the ability to switch between being a competitive athlete and a senior with style. I first met Christie when I photographed the MBHS softball team a couple of years ago. For Christie's senior portraits we tried to capture who she was both on the field and off. Below are a few of my favorites.

Whitney Style

noreply@blogger.com (David Quisenberry) — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 11:25:00 +0000

First, Whitney was a natural at posing which made my job easy. She also could switch between wonderful smiles and sensitive looks so well that we honestly got as many great senior pictures in a one hour session as I sometimes get with a 2 hour session. I could put a dozen pictures of my favs here, but I will just pic the ones we chose for her widescreen wallets (front and back).

Meet Brittani

noreply@blogger.com (David Quisenberry) — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 00:49:00 +0000

Brittani is a 2008 graduate and I am certainly glad she chose me to create her senior portraits. She was the last 2008 graduate I photographed and I cannot think of a better way to finish the class. Brittani had so many great outfits that it was next to impossible to choose which to photograph her in because even the ones we didn't choose were awesome. A few of my favs are below:

Don't Let the Lip Gloss Fool You

noreply@blogger.com (David Quisenberry) — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 00:49:00 +0000

Jessica is a beautiful senior who is also a fierce competitor in volleyball. I had a great time working with her and we created some of my favorite senior portraits this year. When she came in recently to place her order she was wearing a cast on her hand. I found out she had been playing with broken fingers [pains me to think about that] for a number of games to help her team and was going to have surgery the next week. I'm not sure I would want to be across the net from Jessica after her hand heals. Here are a few of my favorites.

An afternoon with Cambria

noreply@blogger.com (David Quisenberry) — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 12:38:00 +0000

I spent an afternoon with Cambria creating her senior portraits. Cambria has two things which are very important in her life, her music and her faith in God. We made sure that each were represented in her senior portraits and accompaning album. Part of Cambria's session included photographing her playing the piano in her home. I had to make a quick trip to my jeep to get a piece of equipment while setting up. Somehow I got lost trying to get outside and manage to go into 4 rooms before finding the door leading outside. While embarassing, I can tell you Cambria's mom has great taste at decorating and the pets get a quality brand dog food . Here are a few of my favs from Cambria's session.

Brandi's Senior Portraits

noreply@blogger.com (David Quisenberry) — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 12:28:00 +0000

Brandi recently came in to have her senior portraits with her mom. These two must have a great relationship because they both had fun and giggled like sisters at inside jokes. I, of course, never got the joke, but it was very enjoyable working with a family in such good spirits. A few of my favorites from Brandi's session are below. And yes.. she is laughing at one of her mom's quips in the last picture.

Meet Ashley

noreply@blogger.com (David Quisenberry) — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 12:23:00 +0000

Ashley must love the summer heat. She (and I) chose the hottest day of the year to do her senior portraits which included sessions indoors and outdoors. I actually took a picture of my temp gauge in my jeep and it registered 107 during the outdoor session. Nevertheless, we still got great stuff with some of my favorites below.

Maddie and Allison Visit

noreply@blogger.com (David Quisenberry) — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 15:48:00 +0000

Maddie and Allison came in for senior portraits - wait, they are not seniors yet, but they did come in to have their portraits made. I guess they acted like such great young ladies, I forgot they are still a ways from being seniors. It was fun working with them and the best part was when their parents commented 'Oh that is Maddie for sure' or 'I recognize that expression on Allison' at the viewing session. This means I am doing my job, capturing a natural moment in their lives, which will now be a memory for years to come. A few of Maddie and Allison are shown below.

Special Promotion - Ultimate Model Treatment

noreply@blogger.com (David Quisenberry) — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 15:06:00 +0000

On Friday, August 29th, I will be having a special promotion to introduce you to Toby Roberson, the newest member to my team. Toby is an awesome make up artist with a list of credentials as well as experience working runway, TV, stage, movie, etc. too long to list. Toby specializes in matching make up colors to my studio lights so red lipstick is, well red (and not an off shade). Toby also does dazzling work with hair and offers spray on tanning which is perfect this time of year to hide the tan lines. If you call my studio and book your senior session this Friday you will receive, absolutely free, a make up and hair session with Toby before your senior portrait session begins. You will also include a gift from Toby when you arrive for your make up session. Seniors who have utilized Toby's services this summer as part of t heir senior portraits have described it as the ultimate model session!

Have you credit card ready along with your calendar so we can pick a date and call 214.577.2974 tomorrow between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. I am enclosing a portrait I recently made of Toby.

Kasi's Senior Portraits

noreply@blogger.com (David Quisenberry) — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 14:37:00 +0000

Kasi is a member of the Senior Style 09 Spokesmodel team and we recently did her personal outdoor session. Kasi has to be one of my favorite seniors to photograph if for no other reason, she brings hats to her sessions. I'm always telling seniors to bring accessories and hats are my favorite because you can really change someone's look with a hat. Kasi was featured on a recent senior mailing so odds are you may have seen her already. A few from Kasi's session are below.

Creating Light with Cori

noreply@blogger.com (David Quisenberry) — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 02:31:00 +0000

When I photograph outside I use the biggest light available, the sun. However, when we did Cori's personal senior portraits we had to create light at the end because a huge cloud cover came over about 30 minutes before sunset. No problem. Dad held a portable strobe and we kept on creating great images. Were any of these created in the dark?

If any of you are still waiting to have your senior portraits made, check your mail as a very special offer was mailed out today. If you have not received an offer by Thursday, then check back here to take advantage of this ONE DAY ONLY special.

Stevie's Senior Session

noreply@blogger.com (David Quisenberry) — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 14:49:00 +0000

Stevie is a member of the Senior Style 09 Spokesmodel team. She recently had her personal senior portraits taken and chose a Road Trip Session to Dallas. It was over 100 degrees in Big D but we had fun and found some great locations for backdrops. I am excited about creating Stevie's senior album with all the great images we captured. Here are a few from Stevie's
portrait session.

Senior Style with Kaja

noreply@blogger.com (David Quisenberry) — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 14:25:00 +0000

Senior Style is the theme of the 09 senior class and no one exempliflied this more than Kaja. Her session was closer to a style show with runway lighting and settings to match the clothes she brought. We also included fun senior stuff including poses with her dog and her drill team uniform. Here are just a few of my favorites of Kaja.

Melissa's Senior Portraits

noreply@blogger.com (David Quisenberry) — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 13:12:00 +0000

Melissa brought great clothes, a sense of style, and personality to match. Melissa, like most seniors, chose the combination session to make sure she got a lot of different looks / locations. Her portraits turned out so good, the only logical outcome was to create a senior album which I will be working on this week. Here are a few of Melissa's images - I had a hard time narrowing it down to only showing three!

If you have not been to my main site recently, head over there and see my new layout. Im pretty pleased with it. Would love your comments on it which can be posted here.

Madison's Senior Portraits

noreply@blogger.com (David Quisenberry) — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 22:11:00 +0000

Madison will be a senior at North this year. Along with his regular clothes he brought in baseball and football uniforms to show the sports that identify him. Some of my favs are included below.

I have returned from a week of vacation after setting a personal record for hot senior sessions. Hot as in temperature. Last friday the temperature was 103 while we were outside. Last Saturday it was 104 and Sunday it was changing between 107 and 108 on my temperature gauge in my Jeep.
Surprisingly, the seniors didn't let the extreme temperatures bother them and the results were awesome. I will be posting them in the near future.
