portraits for families, children and high school seniors
A quick post today to share a recent session with the Eline family. We met at the boathouse at Smith College and, as you can see, the light here in the morning is truly beautiful. Even the clothing was perfect for this location. With each family I photograph, there is always something unique about their dynamic and this with this family it was really clear how much they all adore little Ryleigh. With this image, I think I was able to capture that sentiment.
This adorable little three year old makes me smile. I think it’s because she is so innocent and free from all the things that make us grown-ups worry. Maybe it’s just because she’s so darn cute! She’s not much of a talker. In fact she was extremely quiet but she just has this innocence and I really enjoyed photographing her.
When I started looking at all the images we created that day, my first thought was that she looks like a princess. Remember when you were a little girl (forgive me if you’re a guy reading this) and you dressed up and pretended you were part of a fairy tale? That’s what this reminded me of. And it got me thinking, if I were a princess, what would my life be like?
For many it may be that you have all the fancy clothes you want or maybe it’s lots of money. For me, being a princess means that I would be able to spend my time doing all the things I wanted to do and not have a care in the world. And that is what I think of when I look at this little princess. So, the question is, what do you imagine your life to be if you were a princess?

So, What is a Senior Model & Rep?
Each year I select a few students in the area to become a Model & Rep. One lucky rep per school will receive a FREE 2-hour session ($200 value) in exchange for you telling your classmates about your amazing experience with Sleaque Images.
What You Have To Do?
I will provide you with free custom-designed Senior Rep Cards using photos from your session to hand out to your friends. You’ll also get up to five Facebook images. The rest is up to you! Look for bulletin boards where you and your friends hang out. Have a Facebook page? Make a photo album and link to my website. The more students you refer to Sleaque Images, the better for YOU!
What’s In It For You?
In addition to the free session, each student who schedules and comes in for a senior portrait session based on your referral earns you $20 cash. Refer five people and you get $100 cash, in your pocket! That’s right! For every five clients you send in, receive $100 cash … UP TO $200! The senior must mention you when scheduling their session for you to earn rewards.
Ok, What’s the Catch?
As a Sleaque Images Senior Model & Rep, you will be required to refer at least two other students by August 31st. With just a little bit of work of posting on Facebook and passing out your Rep cards, this won’t be a problem for you. However, if you don’t refer at least two students, your session fee of $200 will be required. Your session will take place during the month of June.
A Few Other Details.
As a Sleaque Images Senior Model & Rep, you will be required to sign a Model Release and an agreement stating that you will not be a Rep for any other photographer. Also, you will be required to submit a list of ten students from the class of 2013 who you feel would make a good Senior Model & Rep.
Let’s Get This Party Started!
If this sounds good to you, send me an email: suzanne (at) sleaqueimages (dot) com with your name, phone, email and the name of your school.

Typically my posts here have to do with Portraits Sessions of children or families, but today I want to share something a little different. About a year ago, I created images for Bay Path College of a student on Campus. I worked closely with the Marketing Director of the College which was really helpful since she had an idea in mind for the marketing piece they wanted to send out. The goal was to create an image that reflects the Honors Program at the College. After walking around campus for a bit, we decided on the library. I just love look of all the books on the shelves with the different colors and sizes.
Below is the image we created that day. The girls in the background were sitting doing homework and we asked them if they wouldn’t mind being part of the image. You can kind of see that they are cracking up. I think they were teasing each other.
So earlier this week I had a meeting on campus and saw my image on the final printed piece. It never gets old for me when I see my images in print. I just love it and I’m sure most photographers feel the same way. Scroll down to see the image of the Marketing Piece for the College. I really enjoy the fact that I get to create photographs of so many different types of people and situations. It really keeps things interesting and constantly challenges me.

My mom voted earlier but she used a different computer than I am on. Is it because we are on the same wireless network?
