I’m beyond excited to now offer senior ad layouts for my 2012 seniors!!!  Senior ads are great for sports programs, yearbooks, etc.  I have three senior ad layouts available and then three ad page sizes to choose from.  It’s a GREAT way to showcase your senior pictures everywhere!

Since I’m receiving a few frantic calls from seniors trying to squeeze a senior session in before they graduate, I thought it would be beneficial for everyone to see what I currently have available for April. Slots will fill up FAST and I highly suggest that you book your session as soon as possible since there is a high probability that as soon as I post this, the slots will be taken up quickly.

I always do an in-person consultation with potential clients which allows for you and I to get to know one another, you get a chance to see what a session looks like from start to finish, I show you all the products I have to offer and we get to go over what to wear, hair, make-up, etc. It’s a super, laid-back, quick meeting that lasts about 30-45 minutes. Even if you want to go ahead and reserve your session now (must pay the session fee in order to reserve your date/time), we will squeeze in your consultation before-hand. Tuesdays and Thursdays between 5-7pm are typically blocked off for consultations so make sure to give me a call and set your appointment.

Also, since it’s being asked, it usually takes about a week after your session to be able to sit down and have your ordering session for your images. Once you have placed your order, depending on the prints/products you have ordered, it can take 7-14 days to get your order back.

So, here is my current availability for April (subject to change):

-Sunday, April 10th BOOKED
-Saturday, April 16th
-Sunday, April 17th BOOKED
-Tuesday, April 19th
-Thursday, April 21st
-Saturday, April 23rd BOOKED

Other session dates MAY become available so please let me know if there is a certain date you need. I can not guarantee availability on the date you request but I will certainly do my best! My first line of business will be to fill the dates above first before opening additional dates/times.

The crazy spring senior season is upon us!  Lots of seniors have booked this week so I thought I would do another round of What to Wear.  I have very specific guidelines I try to follow when it comes to styling your senior session because after having been around the block behind a camera a time or two, you start to see what works and what doesn’t.

Here are a few tips to keep in mind when choosing outfits for your senior session:

-Color!  I know SO many of y’all want to do black and/or white but it is really hard to photography properly and for me, it acts more as camouflage than it does to showcase your beauty.

-Accessories!  You can NEVER bring enough accessories to your senior session, it’s always best to bring too much than not enough.  A single accessory can instantly transform an outfit.  Necklaces, earrings, bracelets, rings, hair bands/flowers/bows, scarves, sunglasses…bring ‘em!

-Chic but Classic!  I highly suggest choosing outfits that you know you will look back on in 20 years and still think it looks stylish and classic.  With all the crazy, over-the-top trends out there, you don’t want to look like a bad case of Lady Gaga or Katy Perry when you are showing your own teenage kids your senior pictures.  Classic silhouettes with trendy accessories are a great way to go!

-Textures and Details!  Denim, leather, knit scarves, a fun hat, chunky beaded necklaces, fringe, ruffles….they all add to your outfit in a fun way they you can truly make your own.

I wasted away today in a land called Polyvore (if you have never checked it out, it’s pretty awesome to get ideas on outfits) and pulled together some really pretty spring outfits.  These are just ideas to get the ball rolling!

Let’s start with me breaking one of my own “rules”….black clothing!  I think if you really want to go with black, this is a great way to incorporate black into the outfit.  I think the reason why I love this outfit so much is because it’s casual and the gold and pink accents are AWESOME against the black:

out here it’s like i’m someone else../♥ by Rachnaa ;♥ featuring draped tops

Military inspiration is everywhere and this is a great classic, casual outfit that I think blends “military” with “classic” perfectly.  I like the rugged, urban feel to it and yet it’s still flow-y and feminine:

I am seeing a LOT of nude/pale pink everywhere and this is a great outfit to showcase it.  Nudes are hard to pull off mainly because they can come across as boring but if you have details like the ruffled sleeves and then a nude snake skin pump, it will really shine:

Count on me by Pikagiu featuring glass shades

And here’s another pretty “nude” color inspiration:

One of my FAVE colors (although I guess it might not technically be a color) is grey.  It is the BEST backdrop for other bold colors that might look too gaudy on their own.  Right now, LOTS of corals, sunny yellows and pale pinks are popping up against the gray.  Here’s a coral/grey inspired outfit:

Could Pass You By by Alisha<3 featuring pink flats

And a sunny yellow/grey inspired outfit:

spring yellows by cdp featuring a cotton cardigan

And finally a pale pink/grey inspired outfit:

Random by JúliaF featuring sexy shoes

Florals are HUGE….as they were last year and I’m surprised that they have hung around as long as they have.  I will say that florals are hard to wear but if you can find a floral pattern that works, it will look stunning (and not like your great-grandma’s curtains).  I really love the simple floral skirt with the light tank and accessories like the following three outfits:

Ecclectic by Faithfashion! featuring slouchy handbags

Beach Date by -MiMi.g.22-! featuring embossed handbags

Untitled by ღ*Modiste Naive*ღ (New Contest) featuring leather belts

But if you want a little something more, something like this 50’s inspired, grey/coral number is GORGEOUS:

BOW DRESS CONTEST! by RluvsG featuring slouchy handbags

I think one of my fave “trends” is the nautical look.  It’s kind of yuppy, 80’s, Hamptons without being kelly green/bright pink.  I think this is a great modern twist on the classic navy/white sailor stripes:

fresh! by KAMILKA featuring rayon skirts

Okay this was a HUGE overshare but there were just so many awesome outfits out there that I thought would be great inspiration!  Have a GREAT, sunny weekend!

So excited to share these images of Brittany!  Not only is she gorgeous but her style is very trendy which was a lot of fun to work with!  If you see her around school make sure to ask her about senior pictures!

JUNIORS!  Now is the time to schedule your senior pictures!  Not only will you get in before the mad senior rush, you’ll have BEAUTIFUL weather for your outdoor session this time of year!

To schedule YOUR senior pictures, email me at info@amiiwroblewski.com!

Wow, over TWO months of no blogging!  I at least have a great reason since baby #2 is on the way!  It’s getting ready to get BUSY though since 2011 seniors are scrambling to get their senior portraits done before they graduate!  My best advice would be to NOT wait until May if you are wanting pictures for your announcements and/or wanting to get announcements made.  I will not be able to guarantee delivery in time for you to send out announcements in a timely manner after May 1st.

And Juniors if you want to be ahead of the curve, now is a GREAT time to schedule your senior pictures!  The weather is PERFECT (maybe minus this crazy wind we are having right now!) for outdoor sessions since it’s not too hot this time of year.

Anyhow, here is Jordan!  You have probably seen her featured here on the blog before since she was a 2011 Senior Rep for the past year.  Jordan is an amazing, sweet soul and you can tell she is one of those that has a light that shines within her!  Oh and she is a photographer in the making so I can’t wait to see what she does with her photography journey!

Good luck in college next year Jordan!  I know you are so excited and you have a ton of family and friends that will miss you!
