Not Quite Abbey Road
I love it when my headshot clients want to step out of the studio for some fun captures. This Abby Road inspired image was their idea and I was sold the moment they brought it up. You guys rock!!

Day One at Santa Fe Workshops
So this week I’m here in Santa Fe, New Mexico at the Santa Fe Photographic workshops getting to participate in a new Natural Light Editorial Workshop with Jeff Lipsky. This is the second time I’ve been to the workshops here and Jeff was the instructor last time then too. Unlike the previous workshop with Jeff, we’re putting away the strobes and focusing on only using natural/ambient light which is Jeff’s passion. It’s going to be a great week here in New Mexico 🙂

Headshot of the Week! 8-2-2021
Samantha is lighting up the space in front of my lens to kick off Headshot of the Week! for August, 2021. Samantha was a super pro in front of the camera and it was tough to pick a favorite out of all the keepers we got during our short time together. Way to go, Samantha!

LOL Thursday 7-29-2021
Becky is bringing the laughs on this LOL Thursday and if you know Becky, you know she’s always lighting up the space around here. I just met Becky this week while doing headshots for her as part of a shoot for Byron Hatcher and team. They were all super fun t to work with and I love working with teams that enjoy working together like they do.
Thanks so much to Byron for reaching out to me for their photos!

Headshot of the Week! 7-26-2021
This young lady totally crushed it yesterday at my headshot photography workshop. It’s not surprising as her mother and pretty much the rest of the family model and act but that doesn’t diminish the great engagement and connection she has to the camera here. What a great way to close out Headshot of the Week! for July.

Caroline is back to lead the laughs on this “LOL Thursday” with this image from our recent session. Just a couple of weeks ago she was here as Headshot of the Week! and I’m so glad she agreed to let me post this “outtake” for today. Of course I think these so-called outtakes are some of the most fun shots I get to capture. Thanks for letting me share this moment from our session, Caroline!

Autumn in the Summer
Stepping outside the studio with Autumn in this favorite from our recent session. We captured this as we wrapped up our studio session with Autumn standing across the street from the studio in Lenox Village. We waited til the end of our session as it was pretty hot and very humid. I’m standing across the street here with a Godox AD600 strobe and 22″ beauty dish next to and above me which is providing some fill to lighten the eyes and add a bit of contrast on this otherwise cloudy day.
