By the way, if you’re want to know more about being a spokesmodel for Kristen Buchmann Photography, just go to my main site, hit the “details” button, and then hit the “spokesmodels” button. Please contact me for more info and to see if there are still available spokesmodel positions for your high school senior class. (I’m currently looking for high school juniors to represent next year’s seniors.)

Here’s that cool door I was talking about. Doesn’t it play off of her shirt for a beautiful portrait?!

I always love finding fun walls that show a bit of city culture while providing the perfect portrait backdrop.

A little play with a texture I made:

Glowing beauty:

Some pseudo tilt-shift play:

Doesn’t Emily look so elegant in this portrait? Look out 2009 Seniors!

I love to play with lighting and the challenge it presents. Sometimes I manipulate the least sought-after lighting, photographically speaking, and transform it into a beautiful portrait presentation:

Well, there are so many more to show, but let’s consider this a teaser. Head on over to my MySpace site and my Facebook page to see more. Become my MySpace friend and please become my fan on my Facebook page! Spread the word and then contact me for your own state-of-the art senior portrait session (or family portrait session or…you get the idea!)

Cheers!

Kristen

Just check out her gorgeous eyes, gazing at you from this picture. Wow! I think her custom makeover helped her beautiful eyes pop.

This portrait looks almost electric!

I love the orange & pink combination in the next one. Kelley has the perfect sassy look to make a sensational spokesmodel portrait!

I absolutely adore the carefree look in this one. Look out, senior class of 2008!:

I just love Alli’s look in this next picture – so cool, collected, and beautiful!

Besides being able to work with fabulous personalities like Alli, nature’s unexpected gifts make photography such a marvelous profession. The sudden gust of wind added the perfect touch to the next portrait!

We all were having such a fantastic time that it was hard to call it quits (yes, even in spite of the freezing weather!) It was getting dark, which always makes the lighting a fun challenge. I love love love the surreal photographic effect from the building’s outside lights in the portrait below.

My spokesmodels and I were on the same page, as far as throwing in a little of the unexpected goes. I love finding locations that might not scream: “portrait backdrop!” but then flying with my instincts and turning those locations into an eye-catching portrait with a bit of the unexpected. Who would think they’d find such a model-looking beauty in the junk behind an old bar? We’ll end with this one, just for fun:

Here they are: Kristen Buchmann Photography’s two newest spokesmodels! (My spokesmodel program is my senior rep program.) You might recognize Kelley and Abbi from your own high school. They are seniors this year and, although I typically start with my spokesmodels in their junior year, these two seniors are going to double as recruits for junior spokesmodels as well.

These spokesmodels opted to do their spokesmodel portrait shoot together (a fun option for any senior portraits photo shoot, really…you get to share your day with a friend and play off of the excitement and energy you always create together…not to mention getting to have a few of your senior portraits together. Think best friend, boyfriend, whatever – you name it!)

My beauty consultant joined us at the beginning of our spokesmodel portrait session and treated each of the girls to an Ultimate Makeup Session. I’ll post some of my favorite photos from each of the girls’ spokesmodel senior portrait sessions in a little bit. For now, enjoy these photographic moments.

I’m currently looking for high school juniors in the Seattle area to be my spokesmodels. If you’re interested in being one of my spokesmodels, please contact me for more specifics.
