one of my favorite times of the year is when i pull together a big stylized shoot for upcoming high school seniors. i come up with the theme, plan a style board for everyone, get wardrobe and gather my amazing team of hair and make-up artists. it is a huge undertaking, but so fun to see my vision come to life!
this year my little liza bean is graduating from 8th grade and she and her friends wanted to do a stylized shoot “like my senior model shoots”. from liza’s conversations with friends at a sleepover the the middle school model retro roller photoshoot was born. this was my first stylized shoot with middle schoolers and we had a blast!
it started out as a 70’s roller skating party shoot and grew from there. Caroline Jessup Cash from The Prettiest Pieces Vintage Rentals helped me pull together 5 different 70’s vignettes. from a roller rink to a 70’s basement we had the decade covered!
the girls totally embraced the 70’s vibe. it was so fun to see them having a blast getting their hair and makeup done, trying on clothes, posing for the camera and making new friends.
i cannot thank all of the people enough who helped bring this vision together!
thanks to Anne Liles for driving up from Southport to shoot with me, Chase Price from RedefineU for our awesome video, Caroline Jessup Cash of The Prettiest Pieces Vintage Rentals for styling and and a versatile studio space, Sarah Grace Johnson (a former whitebox senior model and budding photographer) for assisting, my amazing crew of hair and makeup artisits: Herita Jones of Cosmetic Face Design, Angela Gilbert-lites of Kallos Livebeautiful
Sarah Broyhill, Sarah Smith, Ashley Robinson and Arianna Zapata. Also, thanks to everyone who helped with props and food.
i think the middle school model shoot might have to be a yearly tradition!
maddy was a natural at the whitebox photo farm… carefree + beautiful skies + plenty of smiles made for a perfect session at the farm!
the senior model photoshoot is one of my most favorite days of the year! after weeks of dreaming, planning, pinning, prop making and shopping it is so rewarding to see my creative vision come to life. the senior model sessions would never work without the amazing team that i have and the super seniors that i select each year. a huge thank you to carla white, kallos salon, sarah broyhill, ann loftis, melea and cliff schneider!
this year’s woodland wonderland senior model shoot was one for the books! the girls, the wardrobe and the styling were on point, but mother nature threw us a curve ball. just as the last few girls were finishing up with hair and make-up the bottom fell out of the sky. it poured and there was no end in sight until after dark. as a natural light photographer you have to adapt or die! although some of my plans for locations and lighting did not work out i am so happy with the imagery that we were able to create at this senior model shoot. my seniors did not let the pouring rain dampen their mood. we embraced the monsoons and danced in the rain!

each year high school juniors throughout the triad apply to be part of the whitebox senior model photoshoot. every year the photoshoot is inspired by fashion current trends-boho is hot this year and 2017 is the 50 year anniversary of the ‘summer of love,’ so we decided to take a trip back in time for a hippie-inspired fashion shoot. i had so much fun styling this shoot and coming up with the concepts to bring this idea to life! we had an amazing group of girls apply for the class of 2017! there were so many smiles and laughs on this shoot…good vibes. 😉 sit back and get comfy and prepare for a mega blog post of my favorite images!
these girls were amazing! they embodied the spirit and style of the 50’s. the red muscle cars, the drive in restaurant, the amazing retro hair, make-up and styling…..it all came together to make this one of my favorite senior model fashion shoots yet! thank you @carlawhitebeauty!
