URBAN LOCATION SESSION WITH VICTORIA- BROWNSBURG SENIOR PICTURES

Tori is one of our 21012 Senior Models…we met Tori downtown Indianapolis or her super fabulous add on to her full senior session…. the Urban Location! These are always so much fun , with lots of walking and talking and opportunities galore for fantastic senior pictures! It has been a  beautiful and unseasonably warm spring. It’s hard to believe it is only March. But we aren’t complaining! Nu Huh! We  started out on Meridian Street on top of a parking garage and took off from there to shoot at the circle, alleys, bridge underpass and more! Tori is gorgeous and these just really show her off to a T! Tori brought an assortment of outfits and hats to choose from from casual to dressy for our romp around the city streets! Enjoy a variety of our favorites below!

Brebeuf High School- Senior Model for 2012 Tori Scheller!

Tori is one of our Senior Models, she is a student  from 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 suggestions 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 surprised if you hear us say, Hey you look like…

As one of our senior models Tori has two sessions. The images show below are a combination of her mini as well as her full senior session. Her session at our Studio Back-lot, sets used are the WILLOW, WAREHOUSE,  RIVER FALLS,  the LOFT, JUNGLE, FASHION wall , the BRIDGE, TREE SWING and more, … all on our studio back-lot property! Once again you can see the variety without having to spend time driving from location to location.

We do an interview with our senior models each year during our interview process. It’s allot of fun, a great way to break the ice and get to know them a little bit. Read on to see some of Tori’s answers.

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 (trick question!)

THE LEDBETTERS! THE LEDBETTERS ARE COMING!

Here is an absolutely perfect session with our favorite family, the Ledbetters.  Elizabeth, David and Ryan really brought out the personality in this one.  Their lovely mother, Sherrie looks over to us, as her fully grown children are running around our two acre studio with as much energy as 5-yr-olds and says, “What are you gonna do? This is just the way the are!”  We absolutely love them for how they are, and for giving us such fun images!  I think we like the outtakes just as much, if not more, than the settled images!  This session was more of just a documentation of their silly personalities, us running around taking photos of whatever they came up with.  We find ourselves saying, I wish every family was like this!  Then everyday would be like disneyland!
