Favorite Friday 03

For 2016 I'm doing something a little different. Every Friday will be my "Favorite Friday". I'll share an image that I've shot and that I love. There are so many photos I've done over the years, and I can really tell how I've grown and changed, so I thought this would be a fun way to look back and also share some of my personal favorites. 

This week's photo is of Megan U. and was taken in February, 2013 at the Goat Farm Arts Center in Atlanta. I rented a studio space for a day from my friend, and did a couple of different looks. This frame was one of the last ones of the day. It always gives me wanderlust, as I visualize the model as some jet setter and just wandering around cobblestone streets in a foreign city. I knew it had to be timeless and black and white as soon as I shot it, and the little bit of wind in her dress is what separates this one for me from all the others I did in that set.

Elena - Sneak Peek

A few days ago I did a personal shoot that I'd wanted to do for a while. Here is a sneak peek at my shoot with the super talented (check out her beautiful singing on You Tube) and gorgeous Elena House. We did 2 very different looks, but these shots were some of my favorites that we did in the beginning. Elena was wonderful to work with and I loved photographing her!

Hayes

I enjoyed working with Hayes earlier this week. He did great at his headshot session, and is such a cute kid! Hayes is represented by Houghton Talent. 

Ashley

I love when clients come back! I first worked with Ashley last year, and I loved seeing her earlier this week. She's grown and changed quite a bit! She's such a cutie! Ashley is with East Coast Talent. 

Amanda

This is Atlanta actress Amanda. We had a lot of fun and I enjoyed meeting her and taking her first headshots! She recently was signed to Classic Talent Atlanta. I loved her commercial and film headshot we got for her. 

Favorite Friday - 02

For 2016 I'm doing something a little different. Every Friday will be my "Favorite Friday". I'll share an image that I've shot and that I love. There are so many photos I've done over the years, and I can really tell how I've grown and changed, so I thought this would be a fun way to look back and also share some of my favorites! 

This week's photo is of James K. taken in June of 2010, in New York City! I had always wanted to do some shoots in NYC, and the timing was perfect then. I found several models on Model Mayhem and shot over 3 days. James was one of my favorite men that I worked with, and after 6 years this is still one of my favorite sets of photos. He moved so well and had such an old school look! You may also recognize him from the Justin Timberlake music video for "Mirrors" which he starred in! He also appears in "Making of the Mob: New York"! I'm so proud of how far he's come, and will always remember how nice he was to me during our shoot! This was shot with totally natural light (no reflector or anything modifying) on my first Canon camera (I think an XTI).

Favorite Friday - 01

Favorite Friday - January 8, 2016

For 2016 I'm going to do something a little different. Every Friday will be my "Favorite Friday". I'll share an image that I've shot and that I love. It could be of anything, and is not limited to headshots. There are so many photos I've done over the years, and I can really tell how I've grown and changed, so I thought this would be a fun way to look back and also share some of my favorites and the stories behind them!

This first week is of Shenea, taken in March of 2015. I love how it is darker and not quite as colorful as all of my other work. This was one of the last poses, and I didn't really like it a lot right after I shot it. But once I looked at it again a few days later, it really drew me in and now it's my favorite from the whole shoot.

Hilary

Young model Hilary. She did great for her first photoshoot for her composite / zed card. I loved this shot we got of her! Hilary is represented by BMG Models Atlanta.

Dominque

Atlanta / Los Angeles actress & model Dominque.

I've worked with Dominque quite a few times and we always get something fun and different!

Dominque is represented by The People Store - Atlanta.

New Promo Video!

I'm so excited to share my latest promo video that was produced by Impressive Productions! It was my first time making a video for my business, and it was really fun to see how it was all put together and the final product.

I had a great time working with one of my make-up artists, Valeriya and one of my favorite models, Jennifer (represented by J Pervis & Click Models). They both are great at what they do and I love working with them!

Check out the video and final photos below, and let me know what you think!
