Being a senior in High School nowadays, one thing that is often entailed are senior pictures. I had the opportunity to become a senior representative of and have mine taken by Southern Belles Photography, the entire expirence was great. The entire process took place over the course of three days spread over a few weeks.
It started with our first meeting this is when I got to know the photographers, Rachel and Ashley. After meeting we discussed things I enjoy, what settings I prefer to be in, (rural or urban) and various other things to get ideas of what I want out of my pictures and where to take them, we also decided on times and dates during the first meeting, which later had to be changed due to problems on my part (which they were very understanding and helpful with when it came to rescheduling I might add).
Then came the shoot, I met them early one morning within a few weeks of the last date, we met on a rooftop and there is where I showed them my outfits and decided which ones would work best for the shoot, then I sat down and had my hair and make up done professionally. Once that was done we spent a little over two hours running around the Brick Town area of Oklahoma City finding cute nooks and crannies to take pictures, they both would shoot pictures as I posed and joked around in the spots we found, then by lunch we were done.
After that date I don't see them until two weeks later when I got to see all of the pictures they've taken (All of which turned out incredible and I can't wait to post more when I can). In this last meeting we discussed the packages I could choose from to buy and other things about the pictures and experiences, as well as a few more things about being their senior representative. They also provided snacks at this meeting which was great because food is always a bonus.
One of the best things was being we did not have to buy anything right then, they actually encourage you to take a day or two to think about all of the packages before deciding that way you can get the most for your money, instead of being like most photography places and trying to force you into buying things before you have a chance to throughly look things over.
Over all the entire experience was awesome, I know I don't write reviews and things like this very often but this was something that after my experience with them I would recommend them to everybody, and so, I am. If you live in the Oklahoma Area I would severely suggest looking into Southern Belles Photography, because I give them two thumbs up and if you are interested in them you can find them on their website right here:
to get information and contact them about setting up dates for yourself as well!
I'm ready to set sail (and finish the two other posts I wanted to write this week),

P.S. I enjoyed writing this review for you guys and it is something I've been wanting to try out, what did you guys think. I know all of this new stuff I've been talking about is a slow process but I'm really liking a lot of this and I want to hear if you like it too. (:
