Meet Mandy Teem! Sonora High School Class of 2020 senior. I've loved having Mandy on my model team this and we've had some fun photo shoots together! Here's Mandy's interview answers from our chat this week. Mandy's hair and makeup for her senior shoot was by Beauty By Kelsey Lane. 

Jenn: Mandy, where did you do your senior shoot at?

Mandy: I did my senior shoot at Apple Hill in Placerville, CA

Jenn: Why did you choose Apple Hill as your location?

Mandy: I chose this location because it just had a nice nature vibe to it and i love everything about fall so that location was perfect as there were all kinds of different pumpkins. also, Jen shared this post of these DELICIOUS donuts there and we had to try them!!

Jenn: Where did you purchase your outfits for your shoot? 

Mandy:  Most of the clothes I purchased for the shoot were from Addictions but the prom dress i took photos in we’re from the Bridal Loft????

Jenn: What is your favorite memory of your senior shoot day?

Mandy: My favorite memory was probably the donuts. they were so good. it was also nice to spend the whole day with my mom as i don’t get to spend as much time with her due to sports and school.

What advice would you give to the Class of 2021?

Mandy: A piece of advice I would give to C/O 21 is make the most of this year. it may be your last year with all your close friends and after that, your life is going to change.

Jenn: Thinking back over this year BEFORE Covid19 hit what is our favorite memory or event?

Mandy: I have two favorite memories and they’re both soccer related. my first favorite memory is when i scores my second goal of the season. as a defensive midfielder i don’t have that much of an opportunity to score. this moment was just so amazing as it just happened so quickly. my second favorite memory was when i got my red card in my last high school play off game. it was my first ever in soccer and it was kind of funny seeing my mom’s reaction after the game.

Jenn:At this moment in time what are you most grateful for?

Mandy:I am very grateful for family right now. some people don’t have that close bond with their family that being able to stand my family in the quarantine has been nice and we’ve done some fun things during this time.

Jenn: What's your favorite Disney treat? 

Mandy: Omg i haven’t been to Disneyland since i was a freshman so probably a churro cause churros are good ????

Jenn: Who's your Favorite Disney character? 

Mandy: My favorite disney character to this day is still  Tinkerbell. i have loved her ever since i was like 2 years old and i used to tell my mom that i would work at disneyland and fly across the castle during the fireworks show.

Jenn: What are you currently watching to occupy your time during quarantine?

Mandy: During this quarantine i have been hiking a lot... i know we’re not supposed to be outside but technically it’s really been a way to socially distance myself from all the people in town.

Jenn: When this pandemic is over and we're "released" to normal life, what's the first thing you're going to do?

Mandy: The first thing I’m going to do is probably go swimming because it’ll be summer by then... hopefully not but i think i’ll get a big group of friends together and just have a good time because i miss all my friends and i hope they’re all doing well.

Thanks Mandy for being a part of the 2020 team this year! I've loved getting to know and I love photographing you!
