AND THE WINNER IS …..

LINDSEY!!

We had some serious competition going and there was a *little* trash talk among friends, but in the end it was Lindsey who pulled out the most votes She was trying HARD to win … I *think* she might be just a little bit competitive .. (but don’t tell her I said that LOL). Her photographs were amazing and her attitude is nothing short of super fabulous! I can’t wait to work with her again in the summer for more photographs! She will get an 8 x 10 of a group shot and an 8 x 10 of her favorite shot from the day.

Second place and a well-deserved mention is KENZIE!! She was awesome and getting friends and family to vote! She was close behind and traded the lead with Lindsey quite a few times throughout the contest. She’ll get a 5 x 7 of the group shot and 5 x 7 of her favorite shot from the day!

THANK YOU for an amazing and clean contest ladies and gentlemen. YOU are ALL fantastic and I can’t wait to see you all again sometime. I am so lucky to call you my clients and friends … each of you will be getting a little token of appreciation for pimping out your friends and family to vote for almost two weeks … well, AND for being plain ‘ole awesome!!

Hugs and kisses to ALL who participated and voted! These kids appreciate your support and are lucky to have you backing them in life.

Mariah is one of my SGP Senior Models for the Class of 2013! I’m soooo very lucky to have her – and her family – representing my brand She is an amazing young lady with a passion for all things Marilyn Monroe!! We did a bit of a Marilyn inspired shoot and had the most amazing light and location. She ROCKED her poses and owned her moments. She is fun and full of personality.  Mariah is a bit of a book lover, so we got to include that passion as well

I had several favorites from our session and the one above was even chosen to receive an Honorable Mention in a Photography Magazine for their senior theme edition from over 300 photos. She REALLY ROCKED that pose and location. Talk about owning a moment!!

Another of my absolute favorites from the day!!! ^^^^ AMAZING! And that set below .. I couldn’t decide which one of them I like better .. Black & White … or Color??

She is SERIOUSLY channeling some Marilyn ^^^ and ANOTHER rock star pose below … GOR-GEE-OUS!

Once again, I can’t believe how beautiful my clients are .. but they have personality and inner beauty too Thanks for an amazing session Mariah .. and Jeri! The location was FAB … the clothing was PERFECT … and I can’t wait until next time!!

Andrea is another one of my aspiring senior models .. she isn’t quite there yet, but when she is YAY! She was such a sweet girl and was always willing to play along! I’m so glad she could come and share the afternoon with us  She came ready to play along and suited up with a mix of all things borrowed for what turned out to be PERFECT for her! She rocked her shots!!

I’m glad my Caesar Flickerman has had a few days to recover .. my voice was starting to hang out in the ‘man-voice’ area …

So, Andrea, what makes you like the Hunger Games?

I love it because it was intense and very unpredictable. You never know what will happen next!

If you were a real Tribute, what would your special talent be? And what Tribute are you most like?

My special Talent would be RUNNING … (she must be super fast!!) I think I’m most like Katniss.

What was your favorite part of the day with Stacy Green Photography and more importantly, did you have fun?

My favorite part of the day was just taking all the pictures everywhere and hanging out with everyone!  My favorite scene was the truck scene but I really enjoyed all of them!

I’m so glad to hear it was such fun! I want everyone to have a great time shooting with SGP! It’s part of what makes your pictures more YOU .. having fun!

Thanks for being an awesome model! I can’t wait to get the chance to photograph you again sometime!

My senior models are FABULOUS! Have I told you that already? Kari is another one of my models this year and she is absolutely beautiful. We had a great time shooting downtown in my studio .. finding cool spots is part of the fun! Kari listened to me and brought some awesome clothes (and a lot of them) from which to choose and we put together several fun looks for her shots. When I say bring the closet … I mean it ladies and gentlemen! MY fave photo of the day is the one above … BUT the one below is pretty amazing. She can ROCK a serious look My suggestion is to never play poker with her … ‘eva. seriously. You will lose.  She’s been practicing going from giggle (which she does a lot of) to straight faced spy for awhile now.

You are pretty amazing girly! I’m so glad to have you in my model program I can’t wait to photograph you again later this year!!!

You ROCKED this Kari!! Love them

Can you say ‘handsome’? How about louder?! Kyle was awesome at the Hunger Games shoot and kept everyone chatting and made sure we were all having fun. He and his best friends kept us all laughing the whole afternoon!  He was up for hanging out and shooting some photos with a bunch of gorgeous girls .. I mean how could that go wrong?! It was a pleasure to have you along to keep us all full of giggles and you did an amazing job in photographs. Without further adieu … Caesar Flickerman …

Kyle, you are a junior at Center Grove High School and got to bring your best friends with you to the Hunger Games. Did you have a good time?

I enjoyed shooting very much and everyone had a lot of fun. It was an amazing experience.

Thanks for being a major entertainer all day and for being fantastic in front of my lens! I can’t wait to take your senior photos!!

I don’t get a lot of chances to photograph senior guys, so I consider myself lucky that I had the chance to shoot them during the Hunger Games session. We had two amazing young men who were up for the ‘challenge’ of working with several gorgeous women. Hmmmm … that isn’t a bad gig is it guys??

Chandler was game to play along even if he wasn’t too sure about this whole *modeling* thing. He told me later that he had a good time and would be happy to help me with a shoot anytime  YaY! I asked him some questions for the famed Caesar Flickerman interview .. so here goes …

Chandler, you are a Junior at Franklin High School and have never seen the Hunger Games, do you want to see it?

I’d love to. I’ve heard it is amazing.

What were your favorite parts of the Hunger Games day?

I liked just hanging out with everyone and I can’t pick a favorite, to be honest. I had a GREAT day.

Do you have a special talent to share?

I don’t have a ‘special talent’, but my favorite movie is Space Jam and I can quote almost the whole movie line-by-line!

I had a great time shooting you, Chandler. I hope to get an opportunity again soon!

I know it was tough working with those beautiful ladies all day Thanks for being a good sport and looking handsome in front of the camera!

Mariah is one of my BEAUTIFUL Senior Models for 2013! I don’t think I could have found anyone more gorgeous!! How do I get sooo lucky?!?!?

Caesar Flickerman is making yet another appearance … (ugh, he is annoying!)

Mariah you are a junior at Center Grove High School and will graduate in 2013, what makes you love the Hunger Games?

It has similarities to a short story I just read I school (The Lottery by Shirley Jackson) plus all the male characters in the movie are HOTT! (;

What was your favorite thing about the day? I had an ASTOUNDING day shooting with Stacy Green Photography!

My favorite part of the day was going to our second location and having the awesome, old truck as a prop and my favorite scene of the day was the first one at the old building.

So, what is your special talent for the Hunger Games? I love working the bow and arrow.

Which tribute do you identify with most?

I have never read the books or seen the movie, but my sister thinks I would be Effie. (And your sister is SOOO very right! You are a perfect Effie!)

Tell us something silly about you.

I looooooove cats. All cats, animals are kinda my thing.

I am thrilled to be able to make photographs with you again soon! You are an amazing young lady and have got this model stuff in the bag!! We are going to have an AMAZING time!!

You are gonna SOOO ROCK your senior photos!!

Kenzie is not in high school yet, but when she gets there she is going to be high on my list of girls to catch for my Senior Models! She was such an amazing young lady who listened and did exactly what I asked of her I”m not sure she was overly excited to be there at first, but once she found her groove, she was fantastic!

THANK YOU Kenzie for being a rock star at the shoot .. and Thanks to Momma Jen for bringing her and hanging for the day! It’s totally fun to see old-school friends and hang out

Lindsey is another one of my GORGEOUS 2013 Senior Models and I’m soooo lucky to have her! I’ve already met with her once for a set of photos and she rocked those out, too She always come to our sessions CRAZY prepared and wonderfully ready to do whatever I ask her to do. She was the propmaster for this shoot … she provided some of the gear for shots and her wonderful mom did some behind the scenes photos of the day … THANK YOU Laura! Lindsey had to leave a bit early for some surprise birthday partying, but she was the only brave girly to scale this tree for this shot!  I’m super glad she did because it is an AWESOME shot … I heard that her middle name is AWESOME, just so you know

Once again … Caesar Flickerman to the rescue for this interview …

Lindsey, you are a Junior at Whiteland High School and will graduate in 2013. I love your confidence and drive to succeed, what is your favorite thing about the Hunger Games?
I love the Hunger Games because of the intensity of the drama.

How did you like playing along with the Games with Stacy Green Photography and what was your favorite part?
I had an absolute amazing time! When I had to get in the tree and was terrified but feel like the photos are going to be amazing.

What was your favorite scene of The Games?
My favorite scene of the day was …was when I was “the girl in blue” and shot “a look ” (that could kill .. that’s MY add. <3 Stacy) at Stacy.

Since all of the Tributes have a special talent, can you tell us what yours is?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         My special talent would be …being able to give people a look to kill and BAM they are gone!

Are there any surprises we should be ready for with you?

I put Apple juice on my Cheerios!!

You were absolutely FABULOUS yet again, Lindsey! I’m so glad you were able to come model the day away for me!! I can’t wait to work with you again sometime soon
