Time To Plan
So, as we're getting into Spring Time of 2020, us Moms of the Class of 2020 - yes, that's me too! - are starting to plan Graduation Parties while our Seniors are finishing up scholarship applications and hopefully have accepted offers for colleges and jobs.
One of my favorite things to do is designing custom graduation cards. There are many options when it comes to size and flat or folded plus different paper types to print on. The most used format is the 4x8.5 flat card, printed on both sides, and comes with envelopes
But as we're finishing up the season for the Class of 2020, we need to open up for the Class of 2021! No, you do not have to wait until the fall of your Senior Year! BUT you could be ready to hand out pictures before most others. NOW is a REALLY good time to start planning! Just call me 715.213.3405 and we can get the ball rolling together! Make sure you check out my previous years' works so far!
Class of 2020This is what a 1x3 Metal Montage (about 12"x36") could look like from just one one-outfit-session!
Class of 2020As long as there are leaves on the trees, we can give them the look of beautiful Wisconsin fall colors!
For the guys with cars, well, the gals too! But for some reason, there aren't too many girls bringing in their rides! We can have so much fun:
JFF = Just For FunThis Class of 2020 is a hoot!
But we did get a few 'useable' images too!
Remember my last blog post? I was talking about son, Simon (who's going to turn 18 in a couple of days!!!) Here's one of his senior pictures:
Class of 2020Simon and his 2000 Babe
He had chosen the location himself. His actual words that afternoon when he dragged me out of the house (I had JUST come back from a session and wanted to put my feet up!) were' "Come on Ma, the light is perfect!"'!!! With him, I almost felt like the assistant rather than the photographer - LOL! And, remember, I told you he filled in for me a bit at the end of last year! So much, that he actually took care of his friend's senior session. These two have been friends since Kindergarten. I find it only fitting to send them out together!
Looking through my galleries, I noticed that I do a lot more senior sessions for guys than for girls. I'm not sure why that is but I do know that a lot of the guys only do the session because 'Mom wants them to'. BUT all of them really end up enjoying the session (just look at the goofy pictures we did with Jordan and his Ford Truck!).
But not too long ago, I had PLENTY of girls in front of my camera as we took care of Photo Day for the Elite All Star STORM Cheer Team!
Storm 2020about 80 kids, photographed individually, and composited into ONE poster
I don't even know what to say - I absolutely loved creating these images for them. And as far as I have heard they did love the products they received as well.
Oh, before I forget, I did mention the Banners for the LHS Swim Senior Boys in my last blog post. And I just HAVE TO share them here too!
There are so many advantages to creative composites! Of course, we are also able to do the 'regular' photos on the field or in the gym. But sometimes the weather doesn't cooperate and sometimes the location just isn't that great and my clients simply deserve great images. Therefore a compositeis a wonderful solution, whether it's with a graphic background like the STORM teams or more of the actual background like in this Swim Memory Mate:

With all that said, if you have a son or daughter in sports whether it's through school or a club outside of school and you're not WOWed by your Photo Day experience nor the images - PLEASE contact me and tell your booster club and your coaches that Heike C. O'Day Photography is a LOCAL photography studio, in this area the only nationally certified professional photographer (!) who will be able to create images that will make the kids and the parents proud and I believe that those images will attract more kids to your teams!
Now, let's all get to work!
Blessings,
