Seniors
The lovely Becca is one of my senior models this year, and after rescheduling twice due to frustratingly crappy weather, we finally got together for her mini-session on a day with absolutely perfect light and the third time was the charm. This girl is amazingly fun and a total beauty - I'm so excited to be working with her!
The lovely Josette and I had so much fun shooting her senior portraits! We brainstormed to come up with a shoot that was uniquely "her", and headed over to the Buena Vista Roastery with a huge stack of books for some of their delicious coffee & latte art, and we both consumed WAY too much coffee for the sake of the shoot :) I'm so jealous that she gets to go to France right after graduation!
Doesn't she look like an ad for ways to drink coffee more stylishly or something? So beautiful!
These next two are some of my favorites:
Josette - you're amazing! Thanks for a wonderfully fun shoot -be sure to send me a postcard from France ;)
Channey is one of my wonderful senior models this year! I love this girl's style. For real. The dress, the necklace, the blue hair, the killer eyes - I love it all! Thanks for such a great mini-session, girl!
Seriously. How intense are those eyes?
How cute is she!?!
Yay! Thanks Channey!
If you're part of the class of 2012 and are interested in being a senior model, I'd love to hear from you!
If you love the camera, love to have fun, and want some super-discounted and quite possibly FREE senior portraits, look no further! Cedar House is in search of a few Senior Models from the class of 2012. We're looking for upcoming seniors from all over Colorado who have a great sense of style and who are active in their schools & communities. The more friends you refer, the more free stuff you earn! The Senior Model program has changed a bit since last year, so if you think you might be interested, send me an email (molly@cedarhousephotography.com) or a Facebook message, and I'll give you all the details as well as a link to a quick questionnaire.
I absolutely LOVE senior sessions! Definitely one of my favorite things ever - we have so much fun. Can't wait to hear from you!
Earlier this year, I sent out a pretty cryptic Facebook request for some totally random props - colored wigs, bows and arrows, feathered wings, schoolgirl clothes, things made out of leather... I'm sure everyone thought I was totally nuts. Well... here are the results! In February, I got to be a part of the most super fun project of pretty much ever, working with the teen program of the Pikes Peak Library District in Colorado Springs to shoot images for a series of posters promoting teen literacy. While other libraries have done similar READ projects, they usually use images of famous people holding their favorite books - but we decided to style some shoots based on novels that the teens chose, and we recreated images from these books as if they were movie posters. Our goal wasn't to stage specific scenes from the books, but to try to visually convey the style and feel of the plot. Over the course of four days, we lugged camera equipment, props, teens, and parents all over the Springs - this project was massive. It was so much fun to style these shoots with the library and the teen models and try to capture the feel of each book through locations, props, makeup, and crazy costumes. I have to wait to show the final posters until they are officially unveiled at the Briargate branch, but here are a few of my favorite behind-the-scenes shots. A HUGE thank you to all of our models, who braved freezing temps and my craziness; to their parents for all of their help & chauffeuring ; to all of the wonderful people who lent us props and costumes; to Miramont Castle for letting us run all over their beautiful castle grounds and play dead in their hallways; and especially to Lindsay from the library, who organized, planned, and coordinated this massive project to perfection!First, the shoot based on the novel Maximum Ride :
Day two : the Sherlock Holmes shoot at Miramont Castle (which happens to be staffed by some of the kindest, sweetest people ever)
Creepy stabbing shadow!
Next, the manga / anime shoot! We used this awesome video tutorial for the makeup. Actually, all of her makeup tutorials are strangely soothing...
And finally, the shoot based on The Hunger Games - which will be made into a movie in the next year or so! I'll be curious to see how they style it. It should be mentioned that, when we did this shoot, it was SO FREEZING COLD. We brought blankets, hand warmer packets, and a heating pad... and then the heating pad exploded and started leaking all over everything! These ladies are exceptionally wonderful for running around in the snow for hours. You guys are the best! Great job - you don't even look cold... even though I know how much you were shivering.
Okay, I guess I lied... that was way more than a "few" images :) Thanks again to everyone who was involved!
