Whaaaa??!! Another LOL Thursday??!!

They keep on coming and this week’s shot comes to you from 2019 during my visit to the Santa Fe Workshops for Jeff Lipsky’s workshop. Lauren Green was such a blast to work with and even as we’re getting ready to wrap for the afternoon she still had this amazing and fun energy. Oh, and she’s not just a model, she’s a musician (and a good one!). Check out her profile for all the info!

Looking Back to Summertime

Remember when it was warm outside? I feel like it wasn’t all that long ago, especially when looking back at this shoot with Annsley Wood at the The Dive Motel. Annsley’s rocking this awesome tote provided by The Luxury Label Nashville who loaned us several pieces for this shoot.

Mood

Kate really shines at setting a mood. She can go from “it’s a party” to “pensive” in a heartbeat in front of the camera and that’s just one of the reasons I love working with her. This shot was taken in a parking garage in the Franklin area with ambient light and a small video light to camera right giving a little fill.

Headshot of the Week! 12-7-2020

Model, Musician, and all-around awesome to work with Jennifer Vazquez is kicking off the first Headshot of the Week! for December 2020 with this shot from 2019. This shot is from a session I did at the studio for many of the Tribe Talent models who volunteered for the MidSouth Photo Expo last year. I’ve since shot with Jennifer again but for some reason I overlooked that amazing smile and engagement from this shoot which should have been a HotW! much sooner than now.

Stop and Smell the Roses

When I first shot this image with Terra Wise I thought it was “cute” but the more I look at it the more I love this photo. We see Terra living in the moment and appreciating the beauty of nature around her while the mask in her hand keeps the viewer rooted in the current reality. A lovely and inspiring moment with a lovely and inspiring model.

There’s always that one that keeps you as a photographer on your toes but it makes for some great LOL Thursday images. Don’t get me wrong though, I love how Cassie always keeps us laughing when I shoot with her and her family. Thanks for another fun moment, Cass!

Beauty and Grace

The stunning Stephanie Owens graced the space in front of my lens back in September to create some images for her recent single release of “Mary, Did You Know?”. We captured a lot of keepers in this session but this was the one she decided to use for the release and I think she definitely made the right choice. Kudos to Carmen on this one for coming up with crossed arms pose here. Stephanie was so great to work with and I’m so glad she reached out to collaborate on this. Thank you so much, Stephanie!

Headshot of the Week! 11-30-2020

Jaylene and I are bringing a different look to Headshot of the Week! for this last HotW! of November, 2020. In this shot we had some fun with a fan which I placed just under the camera here to create the motion with her hair. This shot was lit with a single 22″ beauty dish (no grid) placed just above the camera view and slightly to camera right. A little more dramatic and “fashion” than my usual headshot look but it’s fun to step out of the box once in a while and the results were certainly worth it!
