Bamboo Studios Awesomeness Revealed

Amanda: Me like, Me like!

Hi all, this is Amanda from Piedmont. She’s a Varsity cheerleader, runs Track, does Gymnastics, plays piano (deep breath) aaaand participates in a number of clubs at school. But the list doesn’t stop there. She also won Prom Princess and Miss Congeniality. And with a sweet face and disposition like hers, how could she not?

To say we had a good time with Amanda would be an understatement. Her and her mother were a delight to be around. And quite funny. Let’s just say my all time favorite line from a parent came from Amanda’s mom… “I’m not a witch.” And no, she most certainly isn’t. Though I’m glad she cleared that up for us!

Amanda loves all things music (well except Scream-o and Bluegrass) and any type of snacks. She claims food is food and loves it all. Though she doesn’t like chocolate. Hmmm, well, we’ll let that one slide for now but I might have to hold the bluegrass hatred against you. Ok, that’s not true. But seriously, you should give it a try sometime (Nickel Creek and Mumford and Sons are a good place to start).

Some people say Amanda resembles Julia Stiles. I believe I’d have to somewhat agree with them. And don’t ask me how I know this, but I’m pretty sure she likes taking pictures with hay too.

 

Amanda says she lives life to the fullest, loves the outdoors and the country and loves being spontaneous and adventurous. And ladies and gentlemen, she speaks the truth. This is one girl who knows who she is and what she stands for. Which is one of the many reasons why her photos turned out as awesome as they did. Because they’re completely and 100% her. Just the way we like it.

Kara: Hurricane Heart

Meet Kara from Piedmont. She’s a cheerleader who loves to swim, read and hang out with friends. She also likes to laugh. A lot. Which may have been our favorite thing about her. Aside from the fact that she has seen “Dumb and Dumber,” the best movie of all time. We’d like to send out a special thanks to Kara’s dad for that one. Needless to say, we all became instant friends.

Kara descibes herself as tomboyish and finds herself as the middle child of 4 sisters and 1 brother. Which in my opinion, makes her well-rounded and laid back. And appears to be no stranger to sarcasm. In fact, she told me directly that she enjoyed Aaron’s sarcasm, which was in great abundance during Kara’s shoot. Which made us enjoy her even more.

And with an awesome smile like her’s, we weren’t too surprised to find out that she’s considering going to dental school one day. Either way, she has every intention of attending college, possibly even Wilmington.

As you can see, Kara did an awesome job picking her outfits and accessories for her shoot. They perfectly display her personality and gave us some fun colors to work with. She even changed her hairstyle halfway through the shoot. All that to say, she looked awesome and therefore, so do her pictures. And another special thanks to Kara’s dad for all of the beautiful landscaping!

 

How we do get such awesome shots? Well, let’s just say that Aaron’s incredibe one-liners may have something to do with it.  Such as his newest encouraging line: “There’s a Hurricane in your heart. And… go!” He has more than one phrase to elicit the kind of expression he’s looking for. And Kara nailed it (see image number 3 to see what I mean).


And then…


Schedule your very own senior session with us by calling the studio at 704.888.2881 or emailing me at haley@bamboostudios.net. We look forward to working with you!

Halie: Way Cooler than Taylor

Way cooler than who? Well, Halie from Piedmont has been told more than once that she resembles none other than Taylor Swift. And while we were able to catch glimpses of the star in this super awesome senior, we prefer to chalk it up to good ol’ Southern charm. And the way we see it, is that Halie very much stands alone and apart from anyone else we’ve ever known, seen or heard. And to say she was a pleasure to work with would be an understatement. Laid back and relaxed is the best way to describe her and we enjoyed every second of our shoot with her. And boy, is she good lookin’!

As I mentioned before, Halie will be a Senior at Piedmont. She’s involved in a number of clubs (including the National Honor Society) and most times you’ll find her cheering for the football and basketball teams. And her parents own a local country store, the Polk Mountain Market. You should drob by and visit. It’s full of country charm and great pizza. So if you love pizza, be sure to call ‘em up and order one!

Halie claims that she’s not very creative. But Aaron and I didn’t buy that for a second.  You can tell by the way she dresses that her claim is far from the truth. We loved her bright colors and willingness to try whatever. Bottom line: we had a blast!

 And if any of you out there reading/ seeing this, want pictures like Halie’s… well, call us today and schedule your appointment. You’ll be glad you did! Call us 704.888.2881 or email me at haley@bamboostudios.net


(And for those who were wondering, yes, we do have the same name. And yes, it was confusing at times. And yes, I believe she spells her name cooler than mine. Though I’m growing used to the new nickname I’ve developed as a result… “H.” So thank you for that, Halie! And I mean that!)
