Planet Photo Model Team – Meet more of the Tribe!

The Planet Photo Teen Model Team are from towns around CT and we are going to be shooting our group sessions on location all over the state (we might even find ourselves in New York City with some of the Senior Model Team!) This initial shoot was a great chance to meet some of the other team members and get a taste of the model experience with professional make up and turns in front of the camera. The make up got all the models camera-ready, and of course it was the icing on the cake for their first model shoot. They all jumped in and helped out where necessary, holding reflectors, putting up signs and most importantly they were giving each other compliments and encouragement. They are up for the challenge of collaborating to make our group sessions amazing!

So meet more of the Tribe…..

Planet Photo Model Team – Meet the Tribe!

I am building my senior portrait experience to be an unforgettable part of your senior year. Each senior session is unique and designed around the interests of the individual senior clients.

I also knew that I wanted to offer a completely new and unique year-long “model experience” for a team of young people from the local area. These teens and seniors (ages 11-16) were recommended to the program to be positive role models and to let their inner beauty shine through.  We are going to have an amazing year of group and individual styled shoots. We will be working together to create new friendships; to support each other in this journey; and to create some amazing images along the way! We would love for you to follow along!

Our motto for this first year is

“Your VIBE attracts your TRIBE”.

Be positive.

Be loyal.

Be confident.

Be present.

Be compassionate.

Be responsible.

Be motivated.

Now look around at your tribe.

There is a good chance they are all of those things too.

I am happy to introduce you to the first of the Planet Photo Tribe of  2KSEVENTEEN!

Meet Molly!

Meet Olivia!

Meet Caty!

Meet Taylor!

Meet Evan!

Kids Photos in the Fall are an annual event for this family

It is so nice to look back on the wonderful Connecticut fall light on a dreary day like today. I didn’t realize how much I loved spring and fall until I moved to the New England. The winter can be bitterly cold and the days are short, the summer is too hot for me at times. But spring and fall – that’s were it’s at in my opinion!

Kelly brought her kids up to see me one morning for a really quick walk in the Harrybrooke Park. We’ve all met before and even though Ella was disappointed that Olivia wasn’t along to help this time we had a blast. When a session ends in hugs and invites to join them for ice cream then you know it’s been a success. Kelly styled her kids in Hannah Anderson and they could not have looked cuter. The details count when planning for a family session, timing, outfits and picking the right location to make it fun for everyone. I am pretty happy with the results here and we even got a couple of images with all three kids looking at the camera at the same time – no mean feat for three kids under 4!!!

Enjoy these warm, yummy, fall kids photos and dream of apple picking and apple cider donuts.

Love, Janet xo

CT Teen Photographer Planet Photo introducing Sam

Sam is a talented kid. She is an incredible tumbler and and invaluable part of my daughter Olivia’s cheer team (Fourth in the Nation by the way….) Every year she takes part in a karate competition in Florida and she knocks it out of the park with her creative karate displays. She trains with her Dad at Modern Self Defense and Training Center based in New Milford, CT. and if you saw how high her kicks are in person you would be blown away.

So, down to business….. I almost had to gag Olivia to stop her from answering for her friend but I wanted to hear from Sam!

 

Me: Do you have any nicknames that you are willing to share?

Sam: Sam or Sam a Lamb or Lamby (there was another one but I promised to keep that one quiet!)

Me: What is your favorite candy?

Sam: Sugar Daddy (I honestly have never even tried that one….)

Me: What is your dream job?

Sam: All Star Cheerleader (no surprise there….)

Me: Who was your first crush?

Sam: Nick Jonas 

Me: What is your biggest school accomplishment?

Sam: I earned an OSCAR last year for helping a kid on crutches in the the hall way. I ended up missing my bus!

Me: That sounds like something I can imagine you doing! Do you have a hidden talent?

Sam: I am really bendy

Me: Yes you are!!!! Who would you like to meet?

Sam: I have two…… Buddy Valastro. (I obviously had a blank look so she told me he’s the Cake Boss AND then I got it!) And Maddie Ziegler. (Another blank look from me but I got it when she said Dance Moms!!!)

Me: Three things that you can’t leave home without?

Sam: My ipad, Nike Pros and a hair tie

Me: What is your goal after you are done with school?

Sam: I want to travel the world! And I want to be RICH and famous for cheerleading!

Me: Who is your favorite fictional character?

Sam: Fat Amy  

Me:- (I love Pitch Perfect! The first one though, not the second one…..) How would your friends describe you?

Sam: Annoying LOL! Funny. Blond, And kind of like New York City – I never sleep!!!

 

So I did learn some new things about Sam after all!

A teen session should be fun, show different sides of your personality and capture a moment in time. I think we checked all those boxes for Sam with her shoot.

Love, Janet xo
