Models Say…

Testimonial from a Class of 2025 Model

“I remember when I first discovered the McCartney's work on social media. I instantly fell in love with their style of work and how they made each subject look so natural and effortlessly themselves. I knew then that there was no better choice than to pick the McCartneys for senior photos.

When my junior year rolled around I decided not only to join on for my summer senior photo session, but I also decided to sign on to be a McCartney’s Model as well.

I remember being so nervous walking into the studio for the first time, but Butch’s effortless humor and Kelsy’s warm personality instantly made me feel at ease, allowing me to be my true self in front of the camera.

And, those same bubbly & warm personalities showed up time and time again. Their talent, attention to detail, and genuine care for each one of their clients is noticeable and is certainly reflected in their work.

I was lucky enough to have several sessions with the McCartneys over my junior & senior years for the Model team, and each time I had a session coming up I was not only excited to see Kelsy & Butch and get to partake in another fun and stress-free session, but I was also eager to see the final product which turned out amazing (& high quality!) each time. Every time we finished up a session I walked away grateful that I had chosen Kelsy & Butch to take this journey with me.

I think the most notable thing I have taken away from my experiences with the McCartneys is an increase in my self-confidence.

Every time I stepped into the studio, Kelsy & Butch made me feel so beautiful, important, and loved, and now I carry that feeling with me in all walks of my life. I truly feel like I have gained friends in Kelsy & Butch and thank them for everything they’ve done to make my senior year so incredibly special.

If you’re considering your options for senior photos, I would strongly recommend Kelsy & Butch for the most incredible experience. Besides, who doesn’t love a two for one deal?!” -Olivia Fox
