That’s right — the next fifteen who book will get a super special deal: session fee, Collection One (that’s 56 wallets, 2 8×10s, 10 5×7s) and an 8×8 inch, 10-image album all for only $800. This represents a huge savings and includes the book, which is not usually available with Collection One. Your yearbook photo (Class of 2011 only) and three watermarked images for your FB profile are free!
You get two hours of photography, two locations within the Ann Arbor area, and as many wardrobe changes as you can manage in the allotted time!

Hurry up and email me for complete information, because when these 15 sessions are gone, they’re gone!

And don’t forget: I’m currently looking for Class of ‘11 models from all Ann Arbor high schools! Have fun, earn free photos, and get special deals. Email the studio for more info.

We don’t give the Loft Girl award every year, but the Class of 2009 had several strong candidates. We knew that Alexis would be among them from the moment that we first met her! We love her kindness, her always-cheerful disposition, her helpfulness and her intelligence.
Alexis’s accomplishments are many and we know that her parents and teachers must be very proud indeed.

Here’s just a sampling of what she does in her “free” time:

Ranked top 10% of class for GPA

Freshmen/JV Basketball (2005-2006)- Core Values Award (only one given each year with all teams considered)
Indoor Track (2007-2008)- 8th place in 4×400 for State Championship

I asked all of the Loft Girl candidates to submit a brief bio and here, in part, is what Alexis wrote:

“Throughout high school I have worked hard academically with hopes of attending a top ranked pre-med school. To work towards this goal, this school year I was chosen as one of fifty seniors at Pioneer to be apart of the Health Sciences Program. Within the program, students work as volunteers at several local clinics and hospitals including the several University of Michigan Hospitals, St. Joseph Hospital, Urgent Care facilities, and at elementary schools as teacher’s assistants. My personal experiences of shadowing plastic surgeons at U of M Hospital as well as the Dermatology Unit and the Eye Clinic at the Veteran’s Hospital were mind-blowing amazing and have encouraged me to pursue one of these fields of medicine. “

In the fall, Alexis will be attending Wayne State as a pre-med student. She has also been signed by a local modeling agency (no surprise there – Alexis was also a finalist in the Senior Portrait Artists’ modeling competition) and we hope to see her in all of our favorite magazines one day soon.

We are pleased to offer Alexis an iTunes card, a gift card to be used at the store of her choice, and her first $100 worth of books at Wayne State.

Alexis, it has truly been a privilege to know and work with you this past year. We wish you every success in the future and we just know that you are destined for great things.

Not a Loft FB fan? Well what are you waiting for??? Sign up today!

Last year, I offered $75.00 off the session fee for the first five people who visited the new website and emailed me the names of the galleries. Nobody responded and, frankly, I forgot all about it. But yesterday, Grace-Emily emailed me to ask if anyone ever won. She also emailed me the names of the galleries. So, Grace-Emily, you win! Email me today and claim your prize. I love a girl who pays attention. Can’t wait to meet you!

And for the rest of you slackers, :) yes, the contest is now closed. But don’t worry — I’ll have a new one for you very soon.

DON’T FORGET TO VOTE!!!
