Rachel
Thursday, July 31, 2008 | Seniors

I am happy to introduce my newest senior rep - Rachel!  Rachel is beautiful on the inside and out, and I couldn't be happier about working with her.  Rachel will be the first person to get all of the insider information on the great senior session sale that will be taking place soon, so be sure to ask her for all the juicy details.

Rachel wanted to start her session in a sunflower field that we thought was just outside Valdosta - but we had a little trouble finding it.  Before we knew it we were in Quitman.  Fortunately, I knew who would be able to tell us exactly where any sunflowers fields were located in Brooks County.

On the way to the ag building we stopped by an empty lot on North Court Street that is full of weeds and tall grasses.  Although it is an eyesore when you look at the big picture, it looked great as a backdrop for photos.



You will notice that I used a few textures on some of these photos (like the one above).  Normally I like my photos to be more timeless and natural, but with seniors - I like to offer a variety of looks and mix timeless images in with a few trendy or artistic shots.

Natural shots...







While we were in the weeds, my friend Emily drove by and told us we were welcome to use her back yard.  She has a great home with a gorgeous garden so we stopped by for a few photos there too.



We stopped by the ag building and sure enough - they knew where a sunflower field was.  The only problem was that the field is in Pavo - which was another 20 minutes away.  Of course we decided to go for it.

We drove to Pavo, stopped at a store for directions, and finally made it to the sunflower field.



Rachel wanted to find a sunflower field because they remind her of the times when she picked sunflowers with her grandmother.  It turns out that the flowers are planted every year in a field next to a cemetary in honor of a young woman who was buried there a few years ago.





Afterwards we returned to Valdosta and went down to the river that runs by Rachel's house.





We were expecting rain any minute so Rachel brought along a cute umbrella and boots.



Rachel is such a natural beauty that I couldn't choose my favorite of the more traditional shots.















I saved my two favorites for last...





You will definitely be seeing more of Rachel.  Be on the look out for cheerleading photos in the future.  

Thanks Rachel - I will be getting all of the sale information to you really soon!  

If you don't know Rachel and would like information on the sale, just send an email to jill@jillhiggins.com and I will get your information to Rachel and she will let you know about the special as soon as it is announced!

Also, I am looking for one rep from Lowndes and one rep from Valwood.  Send an email to jill@jillhiggins.com if interested.
