These girls are INCREDIBLE. I love every single one  of them and consider myself so blessed to have met them, laughed with them, hugged them, and photographed them.

Our Senior model program is an exclusive program for 11th grade students from all over central Pennsylvania. As a senior model, these girls will be the “face” of Char Photography. The models have the opportunity to earn great prizes AND be part of the styled senior model shoot. True to who she is, GRACE styled the shoot brilliantly. Natural, relatable, playful, relaxed, sunshine, grassy field, tousled hair, fresh and natural makeup, pops of color, and a soft fashion vibe.  Our goal was to capture these girls being TRUE to themselves! At the Meet and Greet, over coffee and pastries, we gave the girls all the details for the big day. Grace described her vision, showed fun examples of her own clothing, and told the girls…don’t go shopping, BRING WHAT YOU HAVE!  And let me tell you, these girls rocked it out. Everybody met on a farm with a wide open field. Hilary from Bella De Salon did a wonderful job with the makeup, applying just the right amount to give a glowy, fresh feel. Charity and Janae  from Lasting Impressions Salon braided, curled, and styled hair true to our vision. Grace mixed and matched the the girl’s clothing, swapped shoes, pulled in a few of her own clothing pieces, directed hair and makeup, and styled the girls beautifully. I photographed and reveled in the fun of it all. Andrea, who is awesome, also worked her camera and captured gorgeous images. Janae (my intern who I love) ran here and there, giving a helping hand, picked up lunch, carried gear up the huge hill, AND smiled.:) Angel, my dear friend, came as a support for me and helped organize the day so it flowed smoothly and peacefully. It was a BIG day…and I felt so blessed to be able to collaborate with all these folks.
