Rachel’s Senior Session

Last summer I was very excited to photograph this wonderful class of 2016 Blackstone Valley Tech senior, Rachel. After getting her hair and makeup done by my friend and professional hair and makeup artist Beckie Davis, we met up on a beautiful August day at one of my favorite places, Riverbend Farm.

She is a two-time gold medalist for the state of Massachusetts (which earned her a seat at nationals) in the Photography competition, so of course we had to feature that in her senior portraits.

Lilly Turns 3

This August I had the pleasure of photographing this little cutie, Lilliana, and her family for her 3rd birthday. We met up at Riverbend Farm on a perfect summer evening for this session. We had so much fun running, playing and laughing – and captured so many great shots, it’s so hard to narrow it down!

Kristen Senior Session

Kristen’s Senior Session

Last summer I had the pleasure of photographing this Class of 2015 senior, Kristen! Before we headed out for her session, my friend and professional hair and makeup artist Beckie Davis met up with us at Kristen’s house to get her primped and ready for her portraits! (Learn more about Monique Tervo Design & Photography’s Senior Glam Experience) After about an hour of getting her hair and makeup perfect, we were ready to go!

As we were leaving Kristen’s, I noticed the skies were turning grey. Then, sprinkles were dropping on the windshield. I started pleading with mother nature, especially after just having her hair and makeup done, to please just hold out for a bit longer!

And she listened! The sprinkles stopped within minutes of arriving at River Bend Farm, and we proceeded with business as usual – and Kristen ROCKED it!

Lauren’s Senior Session

Where do I even start with this one! Lauren is one of the first students I had when I started teaching, which gave us the unique opportunity to spend a great deal of time together planning out her perfect senior session. We spent weeks (ok, probably months!) discussing ideas for her portraits. Lauren wanted a little bit of everything – nature, a bit of a rustic touch (she LOVES country music), and because dance has been a huge part of her life since she was 3, we absolutely had to feature that passion in her photos. On a gorgeous summer day, we headed out to one of my favorite locations, Riverbend Farm in Uxbridge, MA.

“I loved working with Monique! She had a lot of ideas and did a great job incorporating mine too. She is very professional and upbeat. It was a great first experience with a photographer. My family couldn’t be happier with how my portraits turned out, it was so hard to choose which ones to order!”

After graduation, Lauren is going to school to be a pediatric nurse. She plans on continuing to participate on her dance team and playing club volleyball. Lauren – I will miss you greatly next year, but I can’t wait to see where life takes you!
