2010 Senior Spokes Model- Fishers High School- WaWa Yin

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

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

I chose Marci Ralph Photography because I saw that one of my friends had gotten her picture taken with Marci. Her pictures turned out amazing and I wanted to get my pictures taken by such an amazing photographer as well! Another thing I also really liked was the backgrounds in the pictures and the props used.

Where oh where did our little blog go? and other fun postings.

Well boogers! Our entire blog back to July of 2008 has been accidentally erased all the way back to July of 2008. It happened when our new website was loaded onto new servers. :( We love love love our new site and it seems you do too! It’s full of loads of new pictures from both Marci and Victor. It includes seniors, models, commercial, wedding, newborns, engagements and much more. Check it out!

So we have decided to do get started revamping and get back on schedule with posting and quit crying over spilled milk. What’s done is done. We will also be doing a few flash backs and best of all we’ll be showing off our 32 {2010} Senior Spokes Models!!!!! Yes, you read me right. THIRTY TWO!!!! Thirty two spokes models from bunches of Central Indiana High Schools. We have shot all their mini sessions and we’ll be posting those over the next few days. So get ready for a posting frenzy!!!!

Cole… sneak {peek}

Way back on a cold rainy day in November we tried to get together and shoot Coles senior shots. We’ll for obvious reasons that never worked out. So fast forward to May and days from graduation… and here we are with Coles sneak peek. Cole is a senior at Zionsville HS, where he oh so casually reminds me that they beat us in football this year. I told him he should have kept that to himself until the end of the session… like he was going to get good shots after that crack! LOL I kid I kid. Cole will be attending Baylor University in the fall to major in business…. He is going to rock it in Texas!! Thanks Cole for being such a great sport and meeting new friends with me along the way. ;) Stalker!!! (a little inside joke)
