Senior Year Memories Package

It has taken me several years to get here, but after capturing these moments as individual events I thought it would be a fun idea to put them into one unique package.  

SENIOR YEAR MEMORIES PACKAGE

The senior year of high school is filled with so many exciting times that you want to remember.  So why not capture them all and have a keepsake book, too?  

Package Details:

Four photo sessions* - These sessions can include up to four things/events from senior year that you want to remember.  For example - 

    - Traditional and Personalized Senior portraits

 

 

    - Fall formal

 

    - Sports photos

   - Theater performance

   








    - Club events

    - Prom

   

    - A BFF photo session

    

    - Awards ceremony

*Each session will last approximately one hour.  Additional sessions can be purchased at a rate of $50/session.  Props are welcome.

Photo Memory Book - A 7x7 photo book including photos of all your events artfully arranged to tell the story of your senior year.  Books will be personalized with name and high school information.  Larger books available for additional costs.

The Cost - All four photo sessions plus the memory book for $350.00.  That's a savings of $100!!!

The Fine Print:

A non-refundable deposit of $150 is due within one week of booking.  The remainder will be due at the first session.  This package does not include prints.  However, prints will be available for purchase through my website J. Commons Photography.  

Not all dates for sessions must be chosen at book date, I know some of these things will not be readily known.  However, dates will be booked on a first come, first serve basis.  Things like sporting events offer multiple opportunities for sessions, but fall formals and proms are more of a one shot deal.  I am happy to work with you and can offer at least two prom sessions on the same day.  

Disclaimer:  Yes, I know, all of the teenagers pictured are not Seniors!  It's okay, I am just giving you ideas!!

Bays Mountain - June Photo Walk

Tuesday, I joined my friend, Stephanie, and her son, Ben, at Bays Mountain.  The husband had told me that Bays Mountain had wolf pups.  If you don't know, wolves are my favorite.  Forgive some of the photos, remember, there is double fencing on the wolves and tiny fencing around the birds - another of my favorites!  This isn't a normal photo walk, but knowing what the rest of June holds in store for me, I know that I don't have a good chance of getting back out there.

The pups were sleeping peacefully when we first visited them.  There was a wonderful volunteer in with the pups that talked to us and answered a lot of questions.

I love this deer!  I don't know why it is partially white, but I think it's beautiful.

The reservoir was full of lily pads!  I wish the flowers had been a little more open, but they were still pretty cool.

Ben cheesing on the reservoir walk.

Ben was off and running up the hill when Stephanie and I found this.  We were slightly excited thinking we had found some leftover wildlife carnage.  Upon further inspection, we decided it was a hat!

Ben spotted a crawdad in the water and set out to catch it.  Sadly, it got away from him!

The waterfall overflow from the reservoir.

There is a bunch of concrete, rebar, and bricks down this trail.  There are also structures that look like old bridge supports.  Not sure what all of that used to be, but it is very interesting.

Wolf pup!!

You may notice people inside the enclosure with the wolf pups.  There are volunteers that get to play with the pups and help socialize them.  Since they will be on display around people they need to be used to people.  Some of the pups were climbing all over the volunteers, playing on top of them, and tugging on their hair and clothes.  I can't tell you my level of jealousy!!

Location - Bays Mountain, Kingsport, TN

May Photo Walk

I let March and April slide by me with out doing photo walks :(  I hope to make up for it sometime this year, fingers crossed.  Saturday, I was driving home from visiting a friend when I realized it was the last day of May.  Oh no, I was about to let another month pass me by!  So, I drove past my house and headed for the Wilbur Dam and Watauga Dam.  I don't recall ever being up there, though Mike says he took me once a long time ago.  I passed some neat spots along the way and the photo walk turned into more of a photo drive, but I'm cool with that!  I didn't make it up to the Watauga Dam overlook because I wasn't quite up to the walk up the path, but next time!

Neat building on the side of the road.

I LOVE this old Texaco sign!  I couldn't wait to stop and take this photo.

I enjoyed seeing the people sitting out to fish just down from the dam.
