Studio Closed : Uganda
Jan0
Hi there Bambooans!
I wanted to inform you that the studio will be closed from today, January 20th through February 6th. We will be back in the studio on February 7th. We will be spending the next couple of weeks on a mission trip to Uganda, camping in the bush with the Karamojong tribe. I can’t wait to post some images on the blog when we return.
Konnichiwa Moriah : Charlotte Senior Portraits
Jan0
Allow me to introduce to you…Moriah!
Moriah hails from Lake Norman High School where she delves into the art of awesomeness. There are many disciplines in the art of awesomeness such as, musical talent, debating, chess playing, Japanese, writing, tutoring, mastery of the postal system, book purchasing, comic development, color pencil wielding, nutcracker collecting, and bats just to name a few. Moriah’s fourth degree black belt in the art of awesomeness proves through stringent physical and mental testing that she mastered each of these disciplines.
Beyond all these talents, she is just an awesome person. (that’s the first qualification when appling for an apprenticeship in the study of awesomeness. just a tip for all you out there.)
The goal of her senior shoot was to capture her unique and wonderful personality. I think we did it. Let us know what you think.
A little experiment with some sidewalk chalk.
If you would like to apply for an apprenticeship in awesomeness, then give us a call (704.888.2881). Let the training begin!
Senior shoots are fantastic in the Winter. Think layers, scarves, jackets, boots, leggings, fur, and other warm things!
The Tour Rolls On!
Dec0
We have some awesome news…The Senior Tour is rolling on! That’s right, we have a new date for the Senior Tour : December 28th and this time we will be at The Urban Barn in Charlotte. The Urban Barn isn’t its official name, but that’s what all us photographer types call it. In fact, I don’t know if it has a real name. To give you an idea of the place, check out this post from our fabulous sister studio Kristin Byrum Photography
While we have shot here before, we have been wanting to do senior shoots here for awhile and now the time has come. So, strap on your boots and lace up your face for the greatest senior session of all time! You don’t want to miss this, but you probably will unless you skedaddle to the phone or your computational device and contact us. There are only 5 coveted slots available. Who’s knows if the tour will ever make it back here? I don’t, so why are you asking me!
Here’s the skinny: December 28th | 5 slots | 40 minutes | 40 bucks

Sarah : Railroad Heiress | Charlotte Senior Portraits

Here come’s some Sarah from West Stanly…
Sarah is into softball and being awesome. We think that she certainly accomplished the later in during her shoot and we have the pictures to prove it.
The crazy part is that Sarah’s grandparents started the studio that is now Bamboo Studios. ‘Tis a small world.
We had a blast with Sarah and her mom!
If you’re tired of people underestimating your latent awesomeness, then fear not we can help. Through the revolutionary application of senior photography we can reveal to your peers how truly awesome you are! Call us today to schedule your appointment. Its somewhat painless, at least the call is. 3…2…1…CALL! 704.888.2881
Allison : Reggae Roots | Charlotte Senior Portraits
Dec0
Possibly the best intro ever!
Allison hails from West Stanly and unlike most seniors who bring along props like, sports equipment, musical instruments, or electronic pets, Allison opted to use her family as her prop. We were stoked when we found out that we were going to get the opportunity to hang with this bunch again. You may recognize at least one of them from a previous session. That’s right, its Bamboo Alum “Zeus”. These guys are awesome. The shot below is from their up-coming album “Rolling Thunder”.
We loved the reggae vibe that Allison was giving off. Although, I couldn’t stop thinking about pancakes for some reason
This shot is super awesome. In fact, Allison and Zeus came up with the idea and I don’t think anyone else in a dress would climb into a tree for a picture. That’s why we love ‘em.
Staring at walls has become one of Allison’s many obsessions. Normally she stares into corners, but she was freestyling here. She is constantly uping her game!
Classic “velvet green chair on dock”.
I love this location!
All up on your face!
We had a blast Allison and can’t wait to see you guys again!
If you wake up in the morning, look in the mirror and immediately have to look away because you’re too awesome, then give us a call. We have machines that can take your awesomeness and convert it into something useful, like pictures. I beg you to think about the children this could impact.
Call us right now to schedule your treatment! 704.888.2881
Will : Hillbilly Anthem | Charlotte Senior Portraits
Nov0
Ok guys, prepare to be blown away. Drum rollllllll…..Intoducing in the red corner standing 11 to 12 feet tall with an axe in one hand and a soccer ball in the other… WILL!
So, maybe he’s not 11 to 12 feet tall, but his senior pictures are still ridiculously awsome. Will hails from West Stanly and he’s pretty much into everything as evidenced from his senior shoot. Plant your eyes to the images below if you don’t believe me.
Will cuts down trees and builds log cabins…
Will plays the guitar…
Will sits on and near large piles of lumber…
Will sits on concrete barriers and looks awesome doing it…
Will intimidates opponents…
Will makes grown men cower in fear…
As you can see Will is a jack of all trades and a master of them all. Will’s pretty much the awesomest guy we know, so it’s a good thing we are experts at extracting awesomeness and smearing it onto a camera sensor. If you feel like you’re overflowing with awesomeness and would like to share some of it with the world, then do what Will did and give us a call. We’ll take that extra awesomeness off your hands and provide it to a world in need. We can’t wait to hear from you so call us right now : 704.888.2881
Taylor: American Honey | Charlotte Senior Pictures
Nov0
Bamboo Studios would like to introduce you to the lovely Taylor from Lake Norman High…
Taylor loves piano and art and plans on becoming a medical doctor one day. She enjoys nature and has double-jointed pinkies (we love random facts about our seniors). She also claims to be unphotogenic. But clearly that’s not true. We knew pretty immediately that she was an incredible model. And has one of our favorite serious looks to date!
She’s gorgeous and we had a blast with her and her mother. We’re so glad they came out to see us!
If you like what you see and want us to make YOU look awesome, call us at the studio at 704.888.2881 and book your senior session with us today! Like, right now. Seriously.
Reid | Charlotte Senior Pictures
Nov0
Hello again. We just wanted to share a few more images from some of our recent Senior shoots. And there’s even more where this came from. Meet Reid from Cuthbertson. He met us up at Morrow Mountain a few weeks ago for our Fall Senior Special. And boy did he rock it out.
But don’t be fooled by the baby blue. He’s a hardcore athlete too. He plays Lacrosse and competition paintball as well. Basically, he does it all. Modeling too. Can’t you tell?
As you can see, we make you look awesome. Call us at 704.888.2881 to schedule your senior session with us today. We shoot seniors year-round. We’ll be waiting!
Leyna: Little Tilt | Charlotte Senior Pictures
Nov0
Hey everyone, remember the lovely Leyna, aka the Handkerchief Juggler? Well, here she is, for round #2! Oh yes, and did I mention she was one of our Hype Team Members? Yep, she sure was. And here’s a little reminder of how awesome she is…
And here is a little double awesomeness. It’s a whole lotta hype all in one. It’s Leyna & Adrian, Bamboo’s biggest fans. They like us so much they had two shoots! And thank you, thank you, thank you for supplying me with such fun mustache glasses for the day. Those are hysterical. You rock.
Yep, you guys will be missed. No doubt about it!
Adrian: Big Poppa | Charlotte Senior Pictures
Nov0
We would like to welcome back one of our Hype Team members, Adrian from Union County Early College! We love this guy and were so excited when he signed up for our Morrow Mountain Senior Special. This dude can rock some plaid. And don’t even get me started on how well he wears purple. That’s right. Real mean wear purple. Real poppas do too.
We just couldn’t wait to throw these 3 images up on the blog. So soak ‘em all in!
And stay tuned for more mountain goodness. We’ve got plenty more where this came from!!
