Candace

Posted in portraits | senior photos

Earlier today I shot Candace’s senior portraits and we had so much fun!

Candace is such a sweetheart. She’s really into photography and wanted some “cute, girly, frilly, pictures as well as some graffiti backgrounds” and I think we totally rocked it! We still have one more part to her “Totally You” session and I can’t wait to spend some more time with you and your family, Candace!

















Yes, I know your hair is a little out of place, but I still LOVE this picture! :)

Once again, Celestial Williams did an amazing job with make-up. Thanks, Celestial!

Jodi Hatfield did Candace’s hair and you can find all the cute outfits Candace is wearing at Blossom in downtown Mesa.

      I absolutely love these photos-everything from her clothes to her makeup, to the location…it all came together beautifully, and the ones in the gray dress by the truck are gorgeous!

Senior Models 2010 – Style Guide

Posted in senior photos

Cristi Owen

I always get the question “what should I wear for my session” or “how many outfits should I bring”. My answer is always the same: “bring all of the things that you love and that make you, you!” 

Now, if you need some inspiration, here are some of the 2010 style trends:
Sure, scarves have been in style for a long time, but this year they will be worn a little bit differently, here’s how:
You can never bring too many accessories to your shoot: hats, scarves, bracelets, earrings, bags, purses, belts, necklaces and anything else you can thing of. Here are some ideas:
For outfits, it’s great to have variety. For example: 1. something simple: jeans, flip flops, white t-shirt, 2. something dressy: dress and heels, 3. prom dress? 4. a layered look: boots, leggings, shirt, sweater, coat, 4. something trendy: whatever you are into right now and we’ll be embarrassed of 15 years from now! Here are some ideas:
As far as hair and make up, my number one advice is don’t wear any glittery lotion or make-up. It doesn’t look good on pictures. Number two advice: bring your lip gloss for touch-ups!

Last but not least: If there’s anything you really like to do, for example, play the guitar, skateboarding, riding your bike or anything like that, feel free to bring it with you!
Boys: I’ll work on something for you soon, but I’m sure you get the idea. lol :)

2010 High School Senior Models!

Posted in senior photos

Cristi Owen

I’m so excited for all of the awesome changes that will be taking place in 2009!

I just got back from an awesome trip to Las Vegas to the Senior Portrait Artists convention. I learned a ton, met some great photographers and had a blast with my roomie (amazing photographer) Kim Jarman.
What this means to my senior clients is that you will have the opportunity to enter a nationwide contest to be a SPA model and win an all expense paid trip to the next SPA convention in Del Coronado.
Here are some of my images from SPA ’09:

If you are a junior right now, make sure to give me a call or email me so I can give you some more details! I’d love to see one of my seniors make it to Senior Modeling SPA Event 2010!

High School Senior. Aleisha. Gorgeous.

Posted in portraits | senior photos

Cristi Owen

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE photographing high school seniors and Aleisha made me love it even more! On Aleisha’s questionnaire she told me she wanted a little of everything for her photos “soft, graceful, edgy, trendy, fun”. Sooo, we went to work and did just that. We had a blast and I love every photo, so it was hard to choose just a few for the blog. For those of you who watch Stylista,  Ashley was on the losing team yesterday because she was unable to edit her photos down to just a few for the final layout. Big Mistake! So I tried to keep that in mind today, but I couldn’t help it. I guess I’m on the losing team tonight.















Thanks Aleisha! Can we do it again?

Chanelle

Posted in portraits | senior photos

Cristi Owen

This session was so great! Chanelle is a high school senior at Marcos de Niza and when she called me to do her session she asked for pictures that are not your typical boring high school senior photos. I couldn’t be happier! She was so awesome and up for anything, which made for a really fun afternoon together.

She reminds of Julianne Hughes (from Dancing with the Stars).


Chanelle’s boyfriend came along with her so we got a few of them together too:


Love this one:

LOVE this one too:



So many of her pictures looked like they could be a cd cover!

Chanelle, you were so great, I really enjoyed getting to meet you. Oh by the way I went and bought the same scarf – slightly different color! Thank you! I hope you enjoy these :)
