The image above was the beginning of a very intense game for Maconaquah High school. With multiple penalty calls and a neck and neck game the Braves pulled through in the last quarter. Students, Staff and Alumni with their families watched their team take them to victory as they played against their rival school to the north, Peru High School!
It was a grewling 70+ degree evening, but that didn’t stop our student section from having a great time and keeping their teams spirits alive throughout the game. Nothing was getting this crowd down. I think my favorite part was when Maconaquah student section pulled out their phones and waved them back and forth (like Lighters in a stadium) singing the song, “na na naa naa, hey hey hey, goodbyyye.” This was after the braves scored the final touchdown of the night beating Peru 43 to 27.
Maconaquah Cheer soared the skys and kept the stands moving. I loved hanging out with them on the field. Thanks girls for being you, It is always a pleasure hanging out! You made my night!
Of course… who can’t forget our homecoming king and queen! This year was one I have never seen, our king and queen both in Football Uniforms! Congrats Kolson Sicox as Homecoming king and Jolee Holland as Queen!
A Victory to remember! Congratulations to the Maconaquah Braves for a great game and and awesome win!

MACONAQUAH HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHER | CLASS OF 2018 | LAURIN
My Favorite Moment of senior year would definitely have to be my senior night for Cheerleading during football season. There was so many people there along with all my friends. The whole cheer team joined the student section for cheers and pumped up everyone in the stands!
Laurin reminds me a lot of myself, A spunky, free spirited person who loves everyone. I can say nothing, but amazing things about her. As one of my 2018 Senior reps she was so enthusiastic and was easy to laugh with. This girl understood my quirky sense of humor and we both laughed the entire time. For instance I photographed a picture of her leaning up against the wall on the Circus building and I told her to look down at her shoe. I then asked her what was on the bottom of it and I screamed out DOG CRAP! She busted up laughing! Thanks so much for humoring me Laurin.
A LITTLE ABOUT LAURIN-
Laurin is now attending the University of Indiana Kokomo, Pursuing a major in forensic psychology with a minor in criminal justice!
While attending Maconaquah High School as a natural leader, she was active in in cheerleading, marching band, concert band, SADD (Students Against Drinking and Driving) club. While working at Gravity Trampoline Park she also participated in Serve Together, and FCA Club. This girl was very busy!

What Makes you smile?
Honestly? Anything can make me smile. You name it and i smile. The things that mostly make me smile are animals, helping others, seeing other people happy, seeing God’s love through people I mentor, playing with kids and being out in nature.
I always encourage Seniors to bring along a friend! Friendships are so important to most in High school, why not make it a party and do some BFF Photographs? I was lucky enough to have both of these girls to photograph because they both were My 2018 Senior Reps!
What a blessing to not only have photographed but meet this beautiful woman. She radiates joy and I know she will go places! Live loved Laurin and keep being you!

The 5 senior session mistakes to avoid | Peru Indiana Senior Photographer
Make sure you clothes are somewhat form fitting. Nothing is more awkward then a photographer tucking clothing into your pants or pinning back a shirt so we can see the figure your momma gave you. It is truly more flattering and you don’t look as boxy in your photographs.
Hello Friend!
With school starting and winter just around the corner I know that senior sessions are on your mind right now! For some, you have already booked and photographed your sessions this summer. Now with Fall in the mix you can get some great photographs with the leaves changing!
ANYWAY……(I digress)
For those who have NOT gotten around to getting your senior portraits done I thought I could give you a few pointers on what NOT to do to help you out in planning your best portrait session!
1: GETTING A HAIRCUT RIGHT BEFORE YOUR SESSION
Little story behind this one, a few days before my very own senior portrait session my hairdresser was booked solid! I decided to take a chance on someone else. instead of telling her a trim I wanted to change things up and told her to give me long layers. This girl had no idea how to work with the little hair that I have (my ponytail is the size of my pinky). She cut it to look like a MULLET! Yes, I said it right, A MULLET!!!!!
With my hairdresser booked, I took matters into my own hands and cut it off and used the curls that god gave me to cover up what uneven mess I had made. The pictures turned out great, but my hair looked nothing like the person I was for the past four years of my highschool career.
TO AVOID THIS:
If you do need a cut, you should have it done about 1 week prior to the session if your are a boy. For girls, you should probably plan on 2 weeks prior to your session. You also don’t want to try anything brand new before your session either. You want the portrait to look like you!
2: WEARING THE WRONG CLOTHING
You may love a certain outfit now, but in 10 years it may make you cringe! Your senior portrait is really about seeing you, not your clothes. Really bright colors or busy patterns distract the eye, making it hard to focus on your face. Medium to dark colors photograph best. Solid colors are better than patterns. Teal, medium purple, and periwinkle blue are universally flattering colors that will also photograph well.
Make sure you clothes are somewhat form fitting. Nothing is more awkward then a photographer tucking clothing into your pants or pinning back a shirt so we can see the figure your momma gave you. It is truly more flattering and you don’t look as boxy in your photographs.
3: CHOOSING THE WRONG PHOTOGRAPHER
You need to feel completely comfortable around your photographer, which is why it’s important to take your time and do your research before you decide on someone. Be sure to meet with photographers face to face to make sure that they’re a good fit for your. If you’re going to feel uncomfortable during your shoot, it’s going to show in your photos. Also if your photographer isn’t experienced enough you’re only going to end up being unhappy with your photos and angry that you wasted your money, so make sure that they have experience with senior portraits before you pay.
4: FORCING A POSE OR SMILE
I like to see sessions as a time to hang out and goof around. The more natural you are in front of the camera, the better your photos will look. If your feeling nervous, let your photographer know. If they are experienced enough , they should be able to find ways to make that natural smile and possibly laugh shine through. It’s all about the REAL you, not barbie or ken dolls.
5: TAKE CARE OR YOUR SKIN
I’m not saying to go out and get a facial or add any new pealing face mask to your sleep regimen (NO NEW PRODUCTS). I’m saying to not pick at your face. For some (like me) it is so tempting to mess with that pesky zit that wants to say hi days before your photo session. if a breakout is a bit concern, your photographer should be able to fix that in post processing. Ask them, I know most will say, “no problem!”
I hope I was able to help you a bit, or maybe reassure you what you shouldn’t do before your session. The most important advice I can give you is to have fun! This year will fly by faster then you can say “selfie” (I know I’m corny). I truly hope you have a beautiful senior year!

What Was Your Favorite Moment Your Senior Year?
I really enjoyed homecoming week. I am in a few clubs and i was able to ride in a car and threw candy to the elementary school kids. The night of our football game, I was all decked out in my Maconaquah gear. The game was really intense because it was against our rivals Peru. I had a really great time!
What makes you smile?
