Eyes of Eden

Very excited to have shot with the stunning Eden Carlock yesterday in the studio. Eden was looking to capture some close up “eyes” images and you can see why. We tried a few different materials and looks but this is one of my favorites one gets a clear view of those amazing eyes.

Captivating in Pearls

Alison Baughman is back today with another favorite from our classic Hollywood style shoot this past week. Here she’s giving us “all the attitude” while looking absolutely captivating and that super long string of pearls (thanks to Carmen) really helps add some pop to the black of the dress here, too. Keep an eye on this space for more from Alison’s session 🙂

Back in Time with Alison

I recently had the chance to revisit one of my favorite image styles, the classic Hollywood style portrait, with Tribe Talent‘s Alison Baughman. When I reached out to Alison about doing a shoot I didn’t have a specific style in mind yet but, once we started talking, she mentioned photos of Audrey Hepburn and I knew it was time to put on the “vintage photographer” hat. Alison totally owns the space in front of the camera with this hypnotic gaze and she delivers an overall sense of elegance and beauty that even gives Audrey a run for her money 🙂

LOL Thursday 6-24-2021

Welcome to LOL Thursday and this week Matt is the star of the show. This candid grab was taken while Matt was being photographed by Emily Kinney at my studio lighting workshop this past weekend. Yes, we abandoned the studio and went outside for a while and I was grabbing some of those real moments while the models and photographers worked together. I love this shot of Matt with his genuine emotion just shining through here. One of my favorite captures of the day.

Annalise Working Her Magic in the Workshop

The beautiful Annalise gracing the space in front of my lens during my studio lighting workshop this past weekend. I only managed to get about a dozen shots with her before getting back to “the business of running the workshop” but sometimes you only need a few. Looking forward to working with you in the future, Annalise!

Outdoors with Emma

The last hour of my recent Studio Lighting Workshop turned into a bit of a free-for-all as the models and photographers made their way to the outdoor spaces at OnTrack Studios. Not being one to sit idly by, I grabbed my camera and joined in. This is one of my favorite shots with Emma who was one of our volunteer models for the afternoon (Thanks to Tribe Talent!). Emma did a great job and I was very glad that I got the chance to grab a few images of her since I usually don’t get time to shoot during this workshop.
