Happy New Year from Studio P!

What a difference a year makes.

This time last year, it was a cold, rainy, soggy mess in Knoxville on New Year’s Day. This year? Bright sunlight is streaming through my office window and the temperature is a downright balmy 59 degrees.

So what does that mean for the year to come? Who knows?

What I do know is that we are very excited at Studio P about what we have planned and are planning for 2012. Last year was our best year yet and we can’t wait to build on it. So keep a watch out, because we will be rolling out a lot of new things in the coming weeks.

In the meantime, here’s a few more of our favorite shots from 2011. Enjoy.

Our Favorites of 2011

It has been an amazing year at Studio P Photography.

We took our second trip to Israel in January. We stretched ourselves and our photography in directions that we would never have imagined. We’ve almost doubled the number of high school seniors that we did in 2010. We’ve done more portraits and been more creative in our locations and posing than we have ever been.

So on this last day of 2011, we thought we would take a look at some of our favorite moments from the year that have shared with you.

Enjoy.

Brady’s Senior Experience: Making it Fun

One of the things we pride ourselves on at Studio P is making each and every Senior Experience that we do a fun time for the kids.

For the young ladies, that’s not usually a problem. We like to treat our senior shoots like a “modeling” experience, and what 17-year-old wouldn’t enjoy being treated like a model for an afternoon or a day?

But the guys are a different story. For a lot of them, a senior experience is as much or more for their mom as for themselves. For some, it’s entirely for their mom, and they are there under protest, at best.

That’s kind of how it was for Brady. He readily admitted when we started that his mom, Angie, was the main reason he was there, which made us a bit concerned. So we tried extra hard to keep his session, especially the time in the studio, as light and enjoyable as possible. Then when we hit the football field (Brady was the starting quarterback at Halls High School this year), he really seemed to open up.

We must have succeeded, because when it was over, he told us that it actually wasn’t that bad and he had had fun.

We took that as high praise. Hopefully, that came out in the images. Enjoy.

Ava’s Photoshoot: Do-Over

Ava was not having a good day.

No matter what we did, where we went, what we offered or how we pleaded, she was not having any of it. She was just not interested in having her picture taken.

All of us who are parents know that sometimes it’s just like that with 2-year-olds. There are times when they are willing to do whatever you ask. And then sometimes they cannot be persuaded for love or money.

Ava was definitely the latter on this day. So after 15 minutes of trying, we suggested to mom Leslie and dad Matt that we reschedule, which was not a problem for us. We would rather Ava be a willing participant than to push a situation that was unlikely to get better.

Turned out that was the right choice. A couple of weeks later, we met again and Ava, who was our runner-up in this past spring’s Cutest Kid Contest, was in a much better mood. She was happy, mom and dad were happy and we were able to capture some pretty cute moments.

A few of shots from the first session turned out, but the vast majority of them were from the makeup. And that’s just fine. Sometimes you just need a do-over.

Kayla’s Senior Experience: Faces of Me

One of the products that we offer as part of our Senior Experience is something that we call “Faces of Me”. It’s a 12-x-24 five-image collage that is designed to show the different sides of a senior’s personality.

Kayla and “Faces of Me” were made for each other.

There’s Kayla the Carter High Band member. There’s Kayla the talented artist. There’s Kayla the Senior, ready to graduate. And there’s Kayla, the beautiful young woman.

We tried to cover them all in Kayla’s Senior Experience. Check them out, including her “Faces of Me.” Enjoy.
