Super duper Senior PHotos

Though I have already shared Amanda's senior photos with you, I just ordered her prints.  We met up last Thursday after they went through the proof book with their family and then come to see me with their choices.  The exciting part about ordering prints for me is when that box gets here, I get to open it, and then approve those prints to leave my possession.
It is preferable for me to meet with my clients as they make their print choices and then meet with them again when the prints arrive to make sure that they are happy with them, because even though it's all about the photos in this business, it's also all about customer service, I want happy customers!

When I originally took Amanda's photos, she was sure she wanted something different and she wanted more than one location with her number one location being in the Graffiti Alley up in Ann Arbor, Michigan.  They had me at different!  I love making different!  Then we froze our butts off in the snow getting her some more different photos around our home town of Hillsdale, and we also had tons of fun!

The prints arrived here Tuesday, and let me tell you, The were GREAT!  If I loved them this much , I am sure Sue and Mandie were going love them.  So for two days I had to wait for my meeting with Sue, and when she arrived I showed her the wallets first and I have never had anyone so happy!  She ordered an 11X14 of:

and I am pretty sure that she was ready to cry with happiness. If only all my customers could be this happy. I mean I am sure going to get them the same results and make sure they are happy with their final result before they leave my care......
Here are some of my favorites from her shoot:

One eyed flying purple people eater--No it was a Dog!

A few weeks ago Shelly said, "I would really like a new profile photo for my facebook page, Oh and I want my dog too". Can you guess what I said? I said sure!!! The only problem was, with my dogs I didn't want to bring her here to the studio. We choose the Arboratium--even though dogs are a no no--the flowers were just blooming and the trees were covered in blooms and the weather was great!

I had to get a close up of Annabella because she had the cutest under-bite--and she had decided that she was not going to make this an easy task for me.
Though there were many more photos from this session, this one was Shelly's favorite in the end.
