Thanks to Mindy for referring this beautiful family to me. They are so wonderful and after 3 beautiful daughters, I think they were all pretty excited to add Evan to the household. These are some of my very favorite family/newborn shots right now. Oh my, these girls were just adorable with their little baby brother. Here is little sampling of the love…..
What a fun session for Nicole! She wanted a few good images to submit to a modeling agency, as well as a few for her family. Doesn’t she look like the perfect choice for an American Eagle ad???
First, let’s just preface this by saying she has on NO makeup. Modeling agencies want you to submit photos of you plain and simple, because they are looking for certain facial features, plus they know they can glam you up. And although I have done this numerous times and have a few young clients that model, I can honestly say, you never really know for sure what they are looking for – so, if you meet the basic requirements they state on their website and are interested, you should go for it!
Now, the final images I gave Nicole to submit, are not edited at all and are not the images posted below. And by editing, that is the process of using Photoshop to adjust tone, contrast, punch color, add texture, lighten shadows, etc., that makes an image a bit more of an art form, than just a picture. Well, that’s how I look at it.
But she is so gorgeous and we did some fun stuff, so I just had to work a little magic with a few of these images, just for the fun of it!
I loved seeing this trio again! We met up near the lake for a session focusing mostly on adorable, Kate, but a few with mom and dad, as well.
Chandler’s mom contacted me in the spring because she wanted me to photograph her daughter when she was home for the summer. Chandler, a musical theater student in the Big Apple, just finished her first year of college, so we wanted her session to show different aspects of her personality- kind of a senior session, but no props and a bit more edge.
I gave her some guidelines for clothing, stressing to wear things she really loved, and then I quickly talked Autumn into doing her hair and makeup – because I knew Autumn would want to get creative with that gorgeous hair!
Of course we did the shoot at the studio – yep, even those pool pics. The studio offers SO many options + air conditioning!
We had such a great and relaxed session and I’m pretty sure they were happy with the results:
“Oh my gosh!!!! I can hardly catch my breath! These photos are incredible! I honestly don’t have words! You truly captured Chandler’s fun, playful, artsy vibe! Thank you so very much for everything. Please send our love and thanks to Autumn as well. She’s a doll!!!
Thanks again Connie, from the bottom of our hearts! You truly are the BEST!!! Love ya!”
And my favorite:
“I am Chandler Reeves Grandmother, and the pictures of Chandler you took literally take my breath away. They are so beautiful! You are a fantastic photographer! Thank you!”
Thanks so much for the kind words! Chandler is definitely a pro and I can’t wait to see what the future holds in store for her!
Stunning, absolutely stunning!
stunning work! the photo with the shadows all over is amazing!!!!!!!!!
Wow! So impressed that this sharp and beautiful young lady will graduate early at the end of the summer. Then she is off to Europe for some international studies for a year. She had some very natural make up by one of my favorite Mac makeup artists and I really love the clothes she chose for her session. Just a perfect look for this gal. While I provide some guidelines for clothing for a senior session, I think it’s really important that you wear things you really love and feel comfortable in -
So, here is a small sample of Kat’s senior session! (all sessions for the summer receive a minimum of 40 fully-edited digital files)
Class of 2013 be sure to check out my summer special!
