First Modeling shoot

Ok, it wasn't exactly a modeling shoot, but I can't come up with a better name for it! Heather
is interested in acting, and wanted to get some professional portraits made for her portfolio.
A bit of a change from the family shoots I've done, but I was ready for the challenge!

Heather was a terrific model, as her father is also a photographer so she's had lots of practice posing.
Still to come are some on location shots either in an urban setting, or a nice park. Maybe both.

Here's the sample for you. I just love black and white, but do visit the gallery. The color pics are great!

There's a new gallery category called "Modeling" where you'll find the rest.

Three Generation Family Shoot

It was a privilege to be asked to do a family portrait for the Moua family. They brought all three generations to the portrait session. And, they did both casual as well as more formal pics in their traditional Hmong attire.

Highlights below; visit the gallery for all the rest!

Chadwick and Helms Portraits

Last weekend I had the opportunity to do portrait sessions with two families. The Helms family has recently had a baby, and I was very excited to get to take some baby pictures! Here's one of my fav's from each families gallery.

Huott Family Portraits

It's been a busy time for me lately, which is good! I had a referral from a customer that led to the portrait session with the Huotts. We worked hard for the shots we got, but I think they came out great!

Family Portraits - Christie

On the same night as the Taylor-Gates shoot, we also managed to fit in Christie's family. Several wardrobe changes and lots of shots gave us lots of good poses
to choose from.

As always, my fav's are below...

Family Portrait Session - Taylor-Gates

Last weekend we had a double shoot - 2 families scheduled! One was a friend of the family, but the Taylor-Gates found out about the studio at the Riverbend Fall Festival where we had a free photo booth. We had a busy and productive night.

Here's a pair of my favorites from this shoot.

Holland Family

I hope I'm excited for family portrait sessions even after I've done this a while. I was certainly looking forward to our shoot with the Holland family. We went with the black background, and I think got some good, classic portraits as a result.
