…with seniors.

Despite the “dog relief area,” the woman who threatened to call the cops and the bug infested vines…Catherine never lost her brilliant smile. She’s a mature young woman who I admire. Thank you Catherine for such a FUN (and funny) evening!

I figured a short blog posting is better than none at all.  Here’s the gorgeous Emily.  Have a FUN first day back to school!

Here are some faves from the week!

And I’m on the road again.  This time, Matt’s parents’ 50th anniversary celebration in Minnesota.  Until next time…

THOSE EYES!  THOSE SHOES!  AND THAT DOG!  Is Louis not hilarious!?!?  Thank you for trusting me and letting me take you to this super sketchy location.  Happy happy birthday!

Just a reminder to email your nominations by May 1: cindy@cindycieluch.com

I’m super excited to read all of your letters and give an incredible senior the photo shoot that they deserve!

If I have a daughter one day, I’d like for her to be just like Ryanne. 

And NO, these birds are not Photoshopped in!  We just had tons of great timing, weather and luck on our side that afternoon.  OH - and a super fabulous subject.  Enjoy your photos, Ryanne!  I had a BLAST hanging out with you in the muddy junk yard!

Do you know a student who deserves to be in the spotlight?  Do you know someone who volunteers without tooting their own horn?  Do you know a young person who studies, works, excels in sports, shines in the arts and/or always has time for others?

In other words, do you know an upcoming senior in the class of 2011 who should win a photography package worth $1,000?

For the second straight year, I’m holding my Senior Giveaway.

Last year, it went to Briann of Great Falls High.  This year, it will go to _________________.  This is where YOU come into the picture…

THE RULES

* You cannot nominate yourself.

* The nominee must sincerely be incapable of purchasing my services.

* The nominee must be graduating in the Class of 2011.

*The nominee must live in the Great Falls-area.

* Email me the details at cindy@cindycieluch.com.  I want to know all about the senior you’re nominating.  I want to know who they are, what they’re experiencing and why they deserve a custom photography experience worth $1,000!

THE DEADLINE IS MAY 1.

THE WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED ON JUNE 1.

My senior sessions are already filled until late October, so this deserving senior will actually be the final senior session of the fall.  I couldn’t think of a better way to wrap up the year!

Please spread the word and send in those nominations!

Some brand spankin’ new senior images I’m workin’ on…

OH - and I titled this ‘Senioritis’ because these cool kids have the exact opposite and positive meaning of it.  They aren’t slacking.  They’re making moves and excited about their future.  One going to MSU and the other going to UM.  They’ve made the most of their high school experience and can’t wait for what’s in store!

I’ve had an absolute blast over the last few weeks getting together with several seniors.  Some for photo sessions…others for mentoring sessions.  I’m so proud of all of them that I can’t even imagine how proud their parents are!
