We're excited . . . it's getting closer to senior portrait time ! So here's a sneak peek at a few soon-to-be-seniors from the class of 2013. These guys are our models and were terrific to work with. We even got some shots outside with all the nice weather we had back in March, a rarity for us.
If you happen to know any of our models, are in the 2013 graduating class and want to get a good deal on YOUR senior portraits, ask them for one of their Portrait Discount Cards. Bring the card into us at the time of your session and you'll get $ 50 off your portrait order ! PLUS we have session discounts in May, June & July so call soon (814)445-4004.
Being a model can mean many things to many people, but I think there's one point we'd all agree on . . . it's a GOOD thing ! And being a high school senior model for Chris Hay Photography is ALL good !!!
The ladies you see below were all a lot of fun to work with and I hope they would agree that their modelling experience with us was a win / win situation. We photographed each of them very early on in 2011 in order to give us a chance to try out some new backgrounds, test upcoming fashion ideas and provide them with a set of photos they could take back to show their friends and classmates. In exchange for doing all of this for us, sometimes enduring some pretty cold weather outside, we gave them their portrait sessions at no charge. Hence the win / win.
It takes more than just "walking in the door" to get the finished product we have been known for. It starts with a clothing consultation to discuss styles, colors and what look our portrait client is going for. Then there's hair and make-up (guys, at least you don't have to worry about THAT, huh ?!). Elle really came prepared.

We like it when seniors bring something they're passionate about to the session. Amber was all about volleyball and I think it shows ; - )
And, as you can probably imagine, the things seniors are most passionate about are their clothes. Lucy really wanted to incorporate her DMB shirt into her session . . . so we did ! Plus the beauty of the digital world is that we can also add some cool graphics and styling to the finished print, which is one of things WE are passionate about.
Amy was the luckiest of our 2012 models . . . we actually had a NICE day to shoot outside. Hope she wasn't too embarrassed walking around uptown Somerset with us. It's kind of hard to keep a low profile when there's a guy running around with a big camera and tripod !
Aubrey was our dancer of the group and we really enjoyed photographing some of her session up at the Laurel Arts Dance Center.
Best of luck to our models and to ALL the Class of 2012 in all that the future holds for them !
Well, the summer literally flew by and I have been so busy "snapping away", I've gotten a little behind in my blogging ! Here is just a sampling of the high school seniors we've had the pleasure of working with these past few months. More to come, I promise !

Hogan showed up for his senior portrait session with one theme to work on, a love of Bob Marley and his music. I always love it when someone brings more to the session than just themself. In this case it was a Bob Marley blanket ! And it worked beautifully into the set as a backdrop for several images. We're having a really fun summer shooting one of our favorite subjects, high school seniors. We think they're having a ball, too.
oh, yeah, his choice of shirts ? You guessed it !
We've said it before, but this era's high school seniors seem to have a lot more going on than ever before. Case in point, Ed (or Eddie to friends and family) somehow balances school, football, work and fighting fires ! If you know the family, you know firefighting is in their blood. I don't think volunteers get enough credit for what they do, so here's to Ed, his dad and all those volunteer firefighters around the country !!!
Our Class of 2012 Rockwood Rep definitely has STYLE ! Elle comes from a family of diverse and unique lifestyles, so it was really no surprise when she showed up with a wardrobe of clothes for her portrait sessions. She even had some photos she had clipped out of magazines and catalogs of poses she wanted to try. Whatever she decides to do after high school, we KNOW it'll be great !
Here's Amber, back again with two of her best friends, Lauren and Sam. They said they went shopping a week before and found these VERY summer dresses, just for Amber's "Friends Session" ! You can really see how happy they are together (and that this was the last day of school at Berlin !). We wish them a terrific summer as they start their senior year. What's YOUR favorite ?
