Tori is one of our Senior Models for Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory High School, she is a lifeguard and is a hostess at Detour Grill in downtown Carmel. She is a very busy bubbly outgoing person. She likes the idea of studying Broadcast Journalism after high school and hopes to someday be a news reporter. Tori also was assigned the task of being our Fashion IT Girl this year and you will be hearing all kinds of fashion sugestions and tips for making the most of your senior picture experience at Marci and Victor Photography!
I think at certain angles Tori looks a lot like Tiffani-Amber Thiessen, best known for her roles as Kelly Kapowski in Saved by the Bell and as Valerie Malone in Beverly Hills, 90210. Don’t you think?? Christy and I have a long standing habit of doing this…meeting people and saying, “Hey, you kind of look like ________________.” So if you spend any amount of time with us, don’t be suporsed if you hear us say…
Hamburgers or Hotdogs:
Tori: Hot Dogs! Especially when they’re New York style loaded up with all the good stuff.
Have you ever licked the back of a CD or DVD to get it to work?
Tori: Ewww! I don’t think I’ve ever even thought about doing that.
Tori: Summer or Winter:
Summer for sure! Even though I love going skiing and bundling up by the fire, I can’t live without the beach and laying poolside and soaking up the sun! Plus being tan is SO much better than being pale.
Ever been in a car wreck:
Tori: Not yet! Even though everyone thinks I’m the accident prone type, I have yet to be in a car wreck….and I’m keeping my fingers crossed!
Most embarrassing moment:
Tori: The most embarrassing thing that has happened to me was when my older brother’s really cute friend accidentally walked in on me when I was changing. Let’s just say it’s a little bit awkward between us now!
Dream car/ job/vacation:
Tori: My dream car is a white Range Rover decked out with all super cool extras. My dream job is to be a news reporter and make my way up to being a TV personality on a show like Entertainment Tonight. My dream vacation is to travel to a small island in the middle of nowhere and learn how to surf and just relax on the beach!
Your wallet: I always have a little bit of spending money, but I am NOT good at saving my money at all. I always find something new that I have to have.
When I grow up I want to_________.
Tori: After college I want to have a job as a lead news reporter, and from there, I want to either travel to a larger city and continue to be a reporter, or host an entertainment show!
If I could change anything about the world…
Tori: I know this is the cheesiest answer of all, and definitely NOT original, but I would make it so there’s peace and not war
Red or Pink?
Tori: I love pink! I’m very girly and the color definitely suits my personality.
Celebrity crush:
Matt Damon! I know it’s kinda random, but he’s gorgeous!
Favorites-
I cannot live without the beach, hot sauce, sushi, and Speedway slushies!
Movie: A Cinderella Story is and will ALWAYS be my favorite movie. I know every single line….oh well
Restaurant: Naked Chopstix! If you haven’t been there you have to go! Try the Crunch Munch and the Playboy roll…you’ll LOVE them
Drink: Arnold Palmer! Only 99 cents!
Magazine: COSMO! It always has the best health and beauty articles and has really good fashion spreads too
Way to relax: When I’m really stressed, I love going to the gym and turning my iPod all the way up and then just sitting in the sauna. It calms me down so much and gets my mind off of everything!!
Place: I love North Carolina! Ever since I was born my family rents a house on the beach with some friends from Ohio and some of my favorite memories have been made there!
Store: Urban Outfitters! The thing I love about Urban is that there isn’t one close to Indy besides Bloomington and Chicago, so when you’re wearing some of their clothes, it’s likely that nobody else will have it, and their clothes are super cute!
Boy: Chase Crawford…but when he’s playing Nate on Gossip Girl
Performer: Dave Matthews Band! They are the BEST performers and by far the best concert of the summer
Outfit: Skinny jeans and a really cute tank are always a great choice. You can wear it day and night and it’s suitable for basically anyyyy occasion.
Makeup: I always have to have mascara and eyeliner. I love to make my eyes pop, and these do the trick!
Photographers: MARCI AND VICTOR!!!! Best photographers EVER (lol trick question!)
Meet Arielle- She is one of two Senior Models from Lawrence Central High School for this year. She is the current junior class president and is a sales associate at Delaney Shoppes a popular clothing boutique on Indys north side. She has a big personality and when I met her in person I was surprised to find she is the tiniest little peanut… I hear that is her dads nick name for her too. If you know Arielle be sure to help her out in her quest to earn loads of referrals by getting a rep card or online coupon with a terrific deal that you can only get through one of our Senior Models!

Thanks Arielle! You are a great young lady and I look forward to working with you again in a couple weeks for your full senior session at the Studio Backlot!
Hallie came in as one of our last minute 2011 Seniors and we are so glad she did. What a beauty and a sweetheart. I told her, I think it must be an admission requirement at Roncalli High School that girls be beautiful, because all of our Roncalli clients and pretty much knock outs! We had a great day at our Studio backlot for Hallie’s session and it was just an all around great experience. We were able to shoot a bit in our brand new beach pavilion set. Sun and sand is always a favorite among our seniors!
Hallie, you look stunning and thanks again to you and your mom for choosing me to shoot your senior portraits.
50 comments here on the blog will earn Hallie and free Artists Favorite 5×7 with her order.
Alex was great to work with. Good looking, easy going and fun! Can’t ask for more than that! His mom brought some James Dean images for some inspiration and it’s always fun to see what a client really has in mind. When we can collaborate on that and come up with our version… it’s a plus.
We shot his session at our Studio Backlot and rain was coming but we proceeded but it did manage to rear it’s ugly head. It’s not always possible to go forward with sessions on rainy days but we do have allot of covered sets at the backlot and it worked out perfectly for Alex’s shoot. His mom and sister were great and helped shelter me and more importantly my camera from the elements. We actually stepped out into the open an shot his soccer shots IN the rain. As you can see it was well worth it! Thanks again for choosing me for your senior portraits! Enjoy your sneak peeks!

Congratulations Shandri!!!!
