That Hannah Lee Attitude

Hannah Lee giving the camera a ton of attitude in the is shot from our recent session. This young lady has some serious modeling chops and needs little to no direction to create a great connection to the viewer. This is just the tip of the iceberg as we got a lot of post-worthy shots out of this session so keep an eye on this space for more images with Hannah.

Headshot of the Week! 1-25-2021

Closing out Headshot of the Week! for this first month of 2021 is Colleen Dowd and I thinks it’s obvious why. Colleen has such a great attitude and presence in front of the camera which you can see in the rock-solid connection to has to the camera here. Jaylene from Model Positive was on hand working with Colleen during this session and she really helped pull this together. While I’m the first one who’ll point out that hands don’t often belong a headshot, I’m looking right past it here as I don’t think it detracts in this case at all. Great job, Colleen!

Amazing Mecca

One of the many of my favorite images with Mecca during my visit to Santa Fe last year. The late afternoon sun was really working with us we walked around downtown Santa Fe, creating some beautiful shadows for us to play with.

Headshot of the Week! 1-18-2021

Haley is crushing this week’s Headshot of the Week! with this image from her session yesterday. This was taken during her session with Jaylene Hall of Model Positive where she provides coaching for models and I get to capture images of the session for the model. You can see how Haley is owning that space in front of the camera with this look. Pleasure working with you, Haley!

LOL Thursday 1-7-2021

If I ever feel stumped on finding a good “LOL Thursday” photo, I know I can always find one from one of my sessions with the amazing talent that is Elisabeth Donaldson. As an Actor/model/filmmaker/art director/stylist Elisabeth does it all with a wonderful energy and a lovely sense of humor. Today’s image is just one of the many fun moments I’ve shared with this lovely person.

Gettin’ Fit with Jaquarius

Can you say “Fitness!”? I think Jaquarius ( @fanatic_jay ) certainly can and this shot from his @model_positive session with Jaylene Hall and me clearly shows it. This isn’t the first image of Jaquarius I’ve posted from this session but I feel it’s one of the most impressive. From that intense stare to those crazy awesome abs this image really screams “Fitness Apparel / Gym Equipment” advert. I have to say I’m both loving this shot and yet hating it just a bit for how it makes me feel about my “one ab”. (The phrase 6-pack vs 2 liter comes to mind) 🙂

Model Positive with Jaylene

The awesome Jaylene Hall from Model Positive was in the studio this past weekend with this killer dress. The thing is, she and I didn’t plan on shooting at this time but we ended up with some time to kill and she had this dress in her car. Worked out pretty well I’d say!
