Jordan | Anchor Bay | Class of 2017 | High School Senior Photography

August 17, 2016

Congratulations to Jordan of Anchor Bay High School, Class of 2017! We had a lot of fun with you during your High School Senior Photography shoot. Jordan is one of our High School Senior Models and we spent most of his photo shoot in Mount Clemens, exploring the sites and finding great places to capture moments unique to Jordan and his interests. We also visited our Secret River location for a few shoots at the end to mix things up a bit. Jordan was pretty much game for everything and anything that we threw at him. We laughed a lot, talked a lot, and all of us, including mom, pretty much enjoyed the time together. It was a warm one but that has been the trend for this summer in Michigan.

When Jordan isn’t smiling for us, he travels all over the United States and Canada with a travel Ice Hockey team. He is also a member of the National Honors Society and a volunteer coach. After High School, he plans on continuing his education at Michigan State. Go Green! Three words that he chose to describe himself were determined, smart and athletic. All of which we clearly saw while spending time with him during his 90 minute session. He is also very personable and easy going. He will go far in life!

I can tell you from our experience with Jordan, he is a super busy guy! We had a lot of fun walking the City and chatting as we moved from location to location. Many of the guys that we photograph tend to not look forward to having their picture taken. Jordan was the opposite and admitted that he liked having his picture taken. He as also open minded and willing to take direction in order to get the best picture. He even admitted that “the biggest fear I had for the photo shoot was looking awkward posing. During the session the photographers helped me find the right shape while sitting comfortably.” That is definitely a goal for us. We want to make sure that you look as natural as possible and comfortable in any situation.Being that Jordan spends a lot of his time with Ice Hockey, we had thought he would have focused a bit more on that. He decided he wanted a more relaxed and confident styled photo shoot while still including his hobby in his pictures as well. For the photo shoot, he decided to include a hockey stick and puck as props for his shoot to add a piece of his athletic background with ice hockey. He didn’t want to focus mainly on his hobby but he did want some pictures to include those his Ice Hockey equipment. And of course, we were more than willing to go along with his plan.One piece of advice he wants to offer to other High School Seniors looking to get their Senior Photos taken is to “find a photography studio that tries to make your pictures unique to you and your life.” And I think we were able to accomplish this for Jordan. He also wants those preparing for their senior session to know they need to “stay calm and relax. The photographers work with everything you bring to the table, whether or not your posture is bad or if you keep trying for the right smile.” And Jordan is right, that is our job. Each session is unique. Each senior brings a different style, plan and props to the their session and it is our job to fit that all together for the best session possible. And yes, we work hard to make sure we are getting a “real” smile. When you visit us, I am sure you will hear some of the jokes needed to pull those “real” smiles out. I guess you need to make that appointment to find out!As always, we love feedback and Jordan let us know that “my experience with Capture A Moment was phenomenal. The photographers are easy to work with and personable to my mother and I.” Once again, it is great to have some wonderful feedback. We really did enjoy our time with both Jordan and his mom. When a shoot is fun for both us and the client, everything just goes so much smoother. That was the case during this photo shoot. It was just a nice evening and the pictures reflect that ease and relaxed mood.If you are looking to for High School Senior Photography, look no further! We have definitely been enjoying our senior sessions this summer. If you are graduating this year, it is time to make your appointment. It is very common to photograph High School Seniors before their senior year of High School. It gives you time to take your yearbook photo and it gives your parents time to use your photographs for invitations, etc. So, if you are graduating this coming school year, call us at 586-646-8189 today to make your appointment or schedule your session on our easy peasy online scheduler!

Thank you Jordan for trusting us with your High School Senior memories! We look forward to seeing what the future holds for you!
