Back in November I announced 2 of my Class of 2012 Senior Reps and asked for applications for the Mt.Pleasant area for a few more. Thank you so much to everyone that applied, you all are amazing and I wish I could have you all represent me!!
Representing Hayley Hamlin Photography for the Class of 2012 are the following:
Melanie Yost~Alma High School
Audrey Maier~Fulton High School
Ashley Bellmer~Shepherd High School
Mary Ruth Harrast~Mt. Pleasant High School
Look for them in your highschool and use them as a referral for your session to earn you some free goodies!! Later in the spring they will ALL have REP CARDS that you can hand in upon booking, in the meantime they all have business cards. If your highschool is not represented, one nearby is, and you can still get referral cards from one of my REPS to use towards your session :)
For Original Senior Portraits that capture the true essence of YOU!!
Here is a video of a small sample of my senior work, for more please visit my SENIOR WEBSITE

Senior Pictures…so much more than just a picture.... {Mid MIchigan Senior Photographer}
Senior pictures…so much more than just a picture.... YOUR story!!
As we are getting even closer to 2012 senior season being in full swing I want to share a few thoughts for you about what senior photos truly are to me. As a parent myself, I can tell you that senior photos are a very special time/ milestone in the life of your son or daughter. They aren’t just photographs you have taken for the sake of taking a photograph, they are so much more. They are truly a reflection of who your son or daughter is in this moment of their life. I treat each individual senior as just that, the individual that they are. This is a unique experience for every senior. I get to know each senior so I can plan a session that fits them and their unique style. I want them to look back on this as an experience that expressed them as an individual and tells a story about them. I remember back to my senior photos, we won’t say how long ago that was…lol, but first off the photographer and I had no connection what so ever and the photos did not reflect anything about me as an individual. I knew when I started photographing seniors, I wanted to be original, unique and I wanted the seniors I photographed to have unique photos that truly reflected them. Well, if the photos reflect a unique individual, then they will be unique photos, right. So choosing a photographer for this special moment is more than ever of high importance. One of my 2010 seniors parents, got it, they understood the importance of choosing the right photographers and in part of their thank you letter to me, they said this…“Boy did we ever get lucky when we chose you to take Rebecca's Senior Pictures. I hope other families will make a careful selection for their Senior Pictures because they will indeed last a Lifetime!” Yes, they do last a lifetime!! How sad would it be if you let just anybody takes your son or daughters photos? Sadly this is happening more and more in the digital age we are in. Last year I answered several phone calls where I heard the regret people had because they let a relative, sister, uncle, cousin, friend, (and the list goes on) take their son or daughters senior photos. And now they were calling me to have professional senior photos taken. So as you get ready to book this special “experience” for YOUR senior, think about how important this moment is and that it truly is MORE than just senior pictures.
