High School Senior Photos…Kathleen Hall Photography

Prom is coming up FAST and we thought about all the things that go into prom and thought we would do a little video for you!  Prom is great, but the whole preparation thing is very cool too!  You get to pick out a dress, figure out a hair style, plan on makeup and where you are going to get it done and a whole bunch of other things!

Julie is one of our spokesmodels and she volunteered to let us come along while she had a trial run with her hair and makeup at Salon Bella Flora and went dress shopping at Nikki’s Glitz and Glam Boutique.  Well, we went a little farther and had her pose for photographs in her three top choice gowns and three different hair styles!  You, yes YOU, are going to help her decide!  We will post on Facebook the three different hair styles and the three different dresses and you get to vote!  ( I have my favorite, but I’m not telling!) Take a look at the video below to see the whole process!

Now Julie’s top three choices were these three:  The first one was designed by La Femme in aquamarine blue with a beautifully beaded bodice and an open back.  This looked amazing on Julie and even though it is quite elegant, it gave a softer look to Julie. Kathleen Hall Photography

The second one is a white strapless design with a sweetheart neckline.  The bodice is adorned with gold lace and beads.  It has an open back with a beautiful flowing skirt, great to dance in! The designer on this one is Night Moves. Kathleen Hall Photography

And lastly, there is the beautiful gray (who knew gray could be so elegant!), formal with a sweetheart neckline and mermaid style with tulle at the bottom.  Just gorgeous!!It has gold sequins with gun metal and aura borealis stones mixed in.  This one give a whole new meaning to elegance! This is designed by Alyce, in their Black Label line.  All of these can be found at Nikki’s Glitz and Glam Boutique in Palm Harbor.  Kathleen Hall Photography

And then there is a hair style to decide on.  True, the gown somewhat dictates the hair style but Julie experimented with three, with the help of Flora, Tina and Katherine at Salon Bella Flora. 

She has a choice of a very elegant and fashion forward bun, designed by Tina; a beautiful “messy” updo, styled by Flora, or long soft curls by Katherine   She looks great in all three, but which will she choose?!

I had a great time working with everyone last week!  Check on my Facebook page for the opportunity to place your vote and help Julie decide!

Tarpon Springs High School Senior…Kathleen Hall Photography

Working with Christina on her full senior session was a breeze!  That’s when I asked her if she wanted to be a spokesmodel for the studio for 2014.  She did the Valentine session with me several weeks ago and I wanted to highlight her full personal senior photo session today.

This is what she had to say about her first experience with me, “I was a little nervous because I didn’t know what to expect.  I had a lot of fun!  The best part was switching poses and outfits.  I decided on my outfits because they were my favorite ones and they were very elegant.  Kathleen was amazing to work with!  She made it so fun!” Tarpon Springs High School Senior 2014

Let me tell you a little about Christina.  She’s 17, loves shopping and being with her friends.  I can just tell by her personality that she would be a very good friend to have.  Her favorite color is gold, (that’s a first for me!), her favorite TV show is Pretty Little Liars, and the theme song to her life is XO-Beyonce. Her favorite reading materials is …mysteries!  (mine too!)

 

When asked about the one thing she couldn’t live without, she responded immediately with “my family”. And the role model question was answered with, “my mom 🙂“!  What a nice response!  Favorite place to shop was bebe, and her snack food of choice is Pringles/M&M’s.  (Now is that together? or just couldn’t decide between the two?…hmmmm)  Tarpon Springs High School Senior

Clothing choices say so much about a person.  Sometimes I coach a client to get a certain look if we are doing a styled concept shoot, like we did for Valentines Day.  But when a senior comes to get her full session, I always encourage them to wear clothes and jewelry that is important to them.  I want to make sure that there personality comes out in their final portraits.  (I just love the gold jewelry she has on with her dress!  Very classy!)

When asked about her clothing choices today she said,” One of my outfits was my Tarpon High shirt to represent my school.  The other was a black lace dress from bebe, with gold jewelry.  Lastly, I wore a black shirt with pants that were black in the back and white in the front.  The whole outfit was purchased from bebe!

10) Participate in Spokesmodel invitation only events!

Do I need to be a “model” to participate?

No, we are looking for girls (and guys) that are outgoing, fun, comfortable in front of the camera and able to spread the word about their experience with our businesses.  We are more focused on “role model” than “fashion model”.

 I really don’t know how to “model”…will you help me?

Sure!  I will help you pose and move so that your best features will stand out!  You will look gorgeous!

What’s this about CASH for referrals?

You’ll earn CASH for each referral you send to Kathleen Hall Photography. For every one of those referral cards that comes back to me by another senior with a paid portrait session and minimum order you get the following in cash

  • Referral 1 to 5 – $ 25.00
  • Referral 6 to 9 – $ 40.00
  • Referral #10      $ 60.00

 

We only accept a limited amount of reps from each area. The application deadline is February 28, 2013 and you must have your free mini fashion session by March 31, 2014.  You are getting a free, fun, edgy, personalized, custom photography session and have the opportunity to earn cash that can be applied towards your official, full senior portrait session!

Selection is based on ability, excitement and willingness to wholeheartedly help to recruit other seniors and friends at your school as well as from other schools who you know from other activities through school, work and church.

Does it cost anything to be a Senior Spokesmodel?

There is no fee to be a senior spokesmodel.  Bottom line, you will be paying for your senior portraits just as any other client would. But, our Senior Spokesmodels are our very special clients, with perks! You will get half off your Senior session fee, which can save you up to $100 right there!  As with all clients, the minimum purchase required is $495

Do I need to get my parents approval?

Yes.  Absolutely.  No exceptions. 

Before you can become an official Senior Spokesmodel, you must have permission from your parent or legal guardian. Once you’ve filled out the application and if you are selected as a representative, an in person consultation with at least one of your parents or guardians is mandatory! We know how important it is for your folks to know what you’ll be getting for participating, what is expected of you, and that you are all generally on the same page. Informed parents are happy parents!

What this is not…

This is not just a chance to get free photo shoots and free pictures.  We want you to have fun and look fabulous, be part of our team and enjoy your experience.  We will also be putting a lot of work into this and want to be sure you understand that your senior portraits are not free.
