Mckenzie Carter / 2011 Senior Rep / Salem, OR Senior Photographer

Mckenzie is my first Senior Rep for 2011. I've had lots of applications coming in but this girl not only turned hers in first, I was very impressed with her application and how seriously she took this opportunity. I'm still accepting applications and most likely there's still a spot left at YOUR school! Download your application here and be sure to shoot me an email or comment here if you are planning to apply!

I want you all to get to know one of the new faces of Ashley Sturm Photography, Mckenzie Carter. I've had loads of fun becoming acquainted with this bubbly, energetic, intelligent teen.

Here are a few fun facts about her:

• Some of her favorite clothing stores include: Nordstrom, Buckle, Charlotte Russe, Forever 21 and Maurices.

• Extra Curricular Activities: Volleyball & Basketball.

• I asked if she had a style her peers want to emulate, here's what she answered:
"If I had to put a label on my style it would probably be sassy, fun, confident and girly all mixed into one."

• She plans to pursue her degree in Business and after college open a boutique shop in Portland or Seattle, and eventually bring her own line of clothing into the shop. (How cool is that!)

She looks stunning in this shoot above.

These are the 4x6 promo cards I ordered her, aren't they cool?

I don't think either of us can wait for her Spring shoot in May. We've begun planning all the fun details and I'm sure it will involve color, fashion, and just the right amount of 'edge'.

Once again, I'm still accepting applications for 2011 Senior Reps so if you're currently a Junior and think you may have what it takes, download the application and send it in today!

Noel P - A True Ginger - Salem, OR Senior Photographer

So just a quick note about Noel's shoot. My good friend Noel who now lives about 3 hours away in Bend, OR texted me Monday morning saying she was in town that evening and could do some photos. I had asked her a while back if she wanted to have some photos and finally Monday (two weeks ago now) we found a short little window to get together.

Here's a few from our little session. Oh, and the 'ginger' thing comes from some jokes me and a client exchanged last weekend about red-heads...it just seemed fitting.

These two are my faves...!!!!

And doesn't she have the cutest smirk on her face?

Wait, did that dress just change colors? ; )

So pretty...Oh to have soft red hair and blue eyes!

Kathleen P - Salem, OR Senior Photographer

I've been needing some spokes models for this next school year's graduating class of 2010 to be Senior Reps, and remembered my pal Kathleen who I know from youth group. Although she's not quite a senior (she's gonna be a sophomore, but who would have known?) I figured she was the girl to talk to. I called her and she was delighted at the idea of having her photos done, so we booked a session in the evening at Bush Park. Little did we know the bugs would be equally excited about our being there.

Kathleen was such a natural in front of the camera, and thankfully is one of those people who is easily amused, and laughs at everything. We really had a fun time, and although we left with more than a few bug-bites, it was worth it...look for yourself!

Love the hair and bangs....I'm so happy these are 'in' again!

Last photo of the night, we couldn't stand the bugs any more...so I guess they won.

Kathleen has such pretty eyes!
