What made you choose Marci Ralph Photography for your senior pictures?

I chose Marci Ralph Photography because i saw the quality of work she did with some of my friends’ senior pictures and appreciated the balance of editing- nice touch-ups without overdoing it. Marci creates opportunities for unique senior portraits with a variety of poses and backgrounds so all your pictures don’t look the same.

Over the next week or so we will be featuring all of our Senior Spokes Models for 2010 here on our blog. In case you aren’t sure what a Spokes Model is, let me explain. We seek out current juniors at local area high schools to do some face to face marketing for us with their peers. They first do a mini session with us to get a few images to show off on facebook as well as to make them their own custom business cards to hand out at school. Then, in June or early July they have their own full senior session! What you are going to see here over the next week or so are those sneak peeks to those mini sessions we have been shooting.

Why would a junior want to sign up to be a spokes model? Well, to get the best fashion forward senior portraits in central Indiana, from the talented photographers at Marci Ralph Photography! To be among the first new seniors at their schools to have their senior portraits. And, to have fun fun fun!!!! They get great deals, hand out cards with great deals for their peers and to complete for a 32″ flat screen TV! We will be giving that away to one lucky spokes model in the fall!

Without further delay….. WaWa Yin from Fishers High School where the school colors are red and black and they fly the flag of the Tiger!!!! Photography by Victor Maiquez Styled by Christy Maiquez
