Beyoncé said it best, “Who run the world? Girls!” Yes, ma’am! And I love these fierce, smart, powerful, determined, and beautiful women who are stepping up to the plate and knocking their goals out to the park, no matter how hard and how long the journey takes!
Madisyn is one of those girls. She’s a diehard softball player with the grit to get the job done and the passion for playing and supporting her team! Because softball is a major part of Madisyn’s life, we leaned toward showcasing that in her stylized photo shoot. But as soon as we saw the photo of her dad’s big rig, that all changed. We figured for her regular senior photos we’ll get the softball shots, but this big rig idea was a unique diamond we’d never tackled before.
For these stylized shoots, we like to try new things, whether that’s a lighting first, a new location, or a different spin on something that’s already been done. So there we were one Sunday evening, photographing Madisyn with a brilliant jade big rig at a truck stop off Route 80. We wanted to be careful not feature Madisyn as one of those sexy pinup trucker girls. You know the ones—girls in short skirts or bikinis, posing provocatively all over the hoods. We girls are more than just our bodies! We told her, “Bring the softball bat and act like you’re about to break some stuff.” Cue the Carrie Underwood “Before He Cheats” song. Well, Madisyn strapped on the heels, slung the bat over her shoulders, and gave us what we hoped for!
