Chic Critique Forum, June Cover Contest Entry

I stumbled upon the [Chic Critique] Forum June [Cover Contest] and decided to enter an image from a recent session with Class of 2012 senior Morgen. I think this bright and energetic image would be a great cover for June – what do you think? It never hurts to put yourself out there! Please leave a comment below if you like this image. It’s not a popularity contest (thank goodness, because those are never fun!) – but a few words of encouragement never hurt! ;) XOXO

Oh yeah… and check back soon because I’ll be posting the full set of images from Morgen’s session very very soon!!! Have a great afternoon lovelies!!

Class of 2013 Senior Portrait Representative, Kaki

Holla! We are SOO excited to share with you our first Class of 2013 Senior Representative (AKA “Michelle Moore Senior Portrait Role Model”) – Kaki! Kaki is totally adorable and so much fun to photograph. This was my second time photographing Kaki, (we shot her modeling portfolio last summer) and it was even more fun to play outside in the early spring sun! It’s been such a joy working with Kaki and getting to know her and her dad. They are an amazing family!!

Really quick – I wanted to announce that starting this June we will be offering a brand new SIGNATURE package for our [Senior Portrait] clients. It will complete our signature experience and bring you the most posh treatment you can’t get anywhere else. One of the new items included in this package will be complimentary wardrobe styling from one of our fashion stylists. This will be a way to help you choose your outfits – while still staying true to your OWN personal style. Our stylists can help you shop from your own closet and put together the perfect outfits for your pictures. They will never make you wear something outside your comfort zone!! Please [email us] to book your SIGNATURE experience today!!! Let us take care of everything about your Senior Portrait experience!!

And now – check out this post full of beautiful images from Kaki’s Rep session. Be sure to ask her how you can get $100 OFF your very own session with us!! Kaki was styled by Sherri Garcia for [Styled.Seattle]. Here’s what she had to say about her entire experience!! “Working with Michelle Moore is just plain old fun! Every single minute with her was an absolute blast. Having Sherri, the personal stylist, come help pick out what clothes to wear was so helpful! I could not have done it without her. Her style inspires me and she helped create outfits in regards to my personal style. She did not dress me like a barbie doll, but she worked with MY vision for the shoot. Arriving at the studio I was a bit timid and nervous. After the first 5 minutes with Michelle, all of my nerves were gone and I was ready for the day. Michelle Moore is not only an AWESOME photographer, but her personality is so funny, sweet, and charming. She can make anyone laugh at any time! Her personality and photography brings out the absolute best in people and makes all girls look beautiful in their own skin.” Thanks Kaki! XOXO

Meredith Sledge - She is gooooorgeous! I looove these so much! WOW. Beautiful!

Meredith S - She is so beautiful! And the lighting is wonderful!

Lupe Ruiz - OMG these are amazing! That light! That hair!!

jamie - Such great posing and light. She is lovely!

Yucel - Red seems a bit of a tough color to pull off in a portrait, tho you seem to have given it a bit of a go here.. perhaps w the use of green foliage for contrast?

Michelle Moore - No red in this session!

ShirleyWhite - I like your smile. Keep smiling. Great photography

April Issue of JeNeSeQua Live! “Bridal Style Issue”

Hello friends! The April “Bridal Style Issue” of JNSQ is here!! Quick, grab your iPads and *NEW* iPhones, and [download] the JeNeSeQua app for FREEyes really! and start reading this gorgeous magazine from the comfort of your bed, home, coffee shop, or beach chair!

Enjoy and please share with your friends. Have you checked out the magazine yet? Leave a comment below with your thoughts and what you like the most!

What a whirlwind of fun this shoot was! It’s such a shame I never talk much about what actually goes into creating a shoot, and the ups and downs of putting it all together. This was probably the quickest shoot I have done to date. The schedule was timed down to the minute and I had about 11 minutes to capture the shot for the cover and one full-length shot, as Masha’s dress had to be returned to [Metropolitan Fashion] week immediately following our shoot. It was an insane 90 minutes from start to finish but we pulled it off and I am extremely happy with how it turned out. One of my favorite shots! Check out the credits below – as they direct you to the dress + cuff the model is wearing. Both are one of a kind, and you can be the lucky one to score such a fabulous outfit!! XOXO

Megan - I recently got an Ipad and the previous issue was the first magazine I downloaded! I love how rich the colors are, and the quality is excellent! I also love that they have short articles and tell you about trends, instead of pages and pages to go through. Great job working with them, Michelle! I’ve been a looonngggggg time reader of your blog / FB. :)

Jamie - love these shots! Thanks for sharing a little behind-the-scenes!

Esküvői Fotós - Beautiful!!! I like the cold tones!

Portrait Photographer Dallas - Amazing Photos! Great Job!
