Getting to know Allie…
If you were stranded on an island with one person, who would you want that person to be? My best friend Maddie because she has always been there for me and I know we would be able to figure out a way to make the best out of the situation.
I attend school at St. Dominic High School
What has been your biggest accomplishment in life so far? My biggest accomplishment in life so far has been winning Nationals two years in a row in competitive cheer.
What do you enjoy most about summer? The things I enjoy most about summer is no school or homework, hanging out with my friends, going on vacation, and laying by the pool all day.
My dream vacation is to go to Hawaii.
My dream career is to someday be a makeup artist for high fashion.
My all time favorite movie is The Notebook.
My all time favorite food is chicken fingers and cookies.
My favorite place to shop at is Express.
My favorite TV show is The Bachelor.
An unusual talent I have is that I can do 10 back handsprings in a row.
Name a person (dead or alive) you’d most like to meet and tell why. I would love to meet Carrie Underwood because she is such an amazing singer and artist.

A random fact about me is that I have a birthmark behind my left ear.
I chose to have my senior portraits taken at Radiant Images because Mrs. Johnson makes me feel so comfortable and relaxed. She makes me feel good about myself and she is so nice. It is so important to her that your personality comes through her pictures!

For the class of 2012, senior year is fast approaching. There will be many decision made in these next few months, not least of which should be WHO will take your senior portraits? This and many other questions should command careful consideration and not be solely driven by cost. So, how do you choose your senior portrait photographer? Very carefully!
The following is an excerpt from an article written by Katharina Smith, Studio Director of Photographic Essays, a studio in Woodinville WA. ”Look at photographs from last year’s seniors – on their ads, in their studios, and in person. Ask your friends with past seniors if you can look at their portraits. The way you see other kids in their work should make them look natural, not overly posed.
While your photographer should be on the “same page” as you and your child, most photographers won’t have a complete vision until they’re in the session, working one on one with the senior, alone. That’s when real personality and real involvement comes out.
If the photographer is good at what they do, they will be very personable and someone you feel at ease with quickly… and that will translate to real expressions.
Pricing shouldn’t be the deciding factor, because you get what you pay for. Yes, in this digital age, its easy to get things quickly and cheaply, but that’s exactly what you’ll be getting — quick cheap work. A real artist knows the value of their skill, and their prices will reflect that.
This is one of the only times your child will have special portraits made of just them – its worth every cent you put into it, because you will never have this time back and you will always want to remember it.”
As stated above, you shouldn’t trust your senior portraits to anyone with a nice digital camera. Save for and make the investment in quality, custom photography. You will be glad you did.

Thank you Haug Family for choosing Radiant Images Photography as your custom photographer, until next time…~Lori

One of my FACES team models came out for a creative session evening…what a GREAT time. It was, however, a HOT one! At 7:30 this evening we were still pushing 95 degrees and tons of humidity. With water bottles in hand we forged ahead and captured some AMAZING images. Enjoy the preview!

Radiant Images Photography: Our Florida Family Vacation
July 4th, 2011
Since I rarely put our family on the blog, I thought I’d change that for once! We recently spent a week on Clearwater Beach, FL and, of course, a little photographing was involved! We had a blast just being together, laughed A LOT and caught up on some reading and sleeping! We also were able to meet up with a couple of photographer friends who were visiting in Orlando at the same time. They drove over for the afternoon and we had a great visit and even got in some beach pictures. Here are a few highlights from our trip.
Daytime and Nighttime view from our condo balcony on the inter-coastal waterway.
A lot of relaxing happened!
Our Dolphin excursion on The Little Toot, dolphins were spotted several times.
Of course, what's a trip to the beach without family pics on the beach? Some great photographer friends drove over for the afternoon/evening from Orlando to meet, hang out and also take some pics. Thank you Jody and Michelle!!
