Peace Out. I'm Graduating

What if…

What if I didn’t explore my creativity the day I did this shoot?

What if I would have stuck with something safe?

What if I didn’t branch out and try unique and random poses with Jayda?

Thinking outside the box is where I feel most alive. That’s where I feel like I matter most. It’s the place that reassures me I’m doing something right, because it’s so different.

Do I only photograph matrix style and peace-sign photos? Absolutely not. Traditional shots are a must too (as you see below), but when I’m done being traditional and playing by the rules, I like to take an adventure across that dotted line and dig deeper than my mind can comprehend.

I have another senior session this weekend and I’m curious as to what we will create.

Can I give you some tips before your senior session?

-RELAX. You are graduating. Be excited.

-Think of me as a friend and live it up.

-Wear clothes that are YOU. Don't dress up in a stuffy dress or suit if you don’t like wearing one.

-Getting your hair and makeup done is always fun :)

-Be open to ideas.

-Let me direct you. Don’t think you have to know what to do, I’ll help you out with that part.

-Have fun.

On a different note, if you go back to my food photography post, you will see where I shared a blog from another photographer friend. Well this time I’m sharing my friend Jen Vasquez’s post on getting engagements and weddings. I think you will enjoy it! Click here to read what she has to say about it all.

Cole's Allen, Texas High School Senior Session

Last weekend I went to Allen, Texas to photograph Cole for his senior session.
Cole will be attending University of New Mexico next year on a baseball scholarship.  So cool! 

Check out a few of my favorites.

Sometimes you just have to take action and feed your creative thoughts.  If you don't, they will fizz away.

Currently Booking 2017 Seniors

Currently Booking 2017 College and High School Seniors
I am excited for the 2017 year and all the senior sessions. I am currently booking sessions for 2017 seniors THIS summer.

When is the best time to book a senior session:
Summer and Fall

Why? The grass is green, the flowers are blooming and the trees are full of green leaves. It’s the prettiest time of the year.

Contact me at 575.219.9312 or email me at cristy@cristycoss.com to inquire about a session.
