MODERN Mens Headshots
Let's face it - I KNOW that most people aren't crazy about having their portraits taken. But it's a real necessity in business in 2015. Here's some fantastic headshots of a male client that doesn't like his photo taken - can you tell? I don't think so! It helps that I talk nonstop and my self deprecating humor comes in handy.
Communion Portraits
Our best laid plans for doing this session weeks after the actual First Communion were sidelined when we arrived at the church and it was closed! Nevertheless, we were planning on two locations - one being the beautiful Rockefeller Preserve in Tarrytown New York. So off we went. I love to create non-traditional portraits for a very traditional milestone. Here are just a few favorites from the day. (I especially love the last two - there's always one misunderstood sibling in a family of 4.)
Funny sibling photos
The family dynamics between all six kids at this session really made my heart so happy. They all have some hilarious interactions with one another. I had to post just one before I launch the full gallery to my client tomorrow.
What would you caption this photo?
When's the best time to do family portraits?
That is one of the most frequent questions I get asked. And the answer is ANYTIME. This week started my latest installment of my ongoing project "My First Best Friend."
This project is the perfect example of how there's no such thing as a good time or bad time to plan your family's portraits. We've all heard the expression, life is short. Well it is. It can be. And regret is the worst feeling.
This session was a lot of fun with these two young siblings. The big brother is in preschool and his little sister is having fun just following him around. We had a beautiful Spring morning at the park and explored a bit together. The little curls of her hair reminded me of my daughter at that age. You know those curls don't last forever and I can still remember twirling them on my finger as she sat on my lap.
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Portraits | Equine
I don't know about you, but when I graduated high school, my graduation portraits did not look like these. Everyone's photos looked exactly the same. Same soft haze filter on the lens. Blue draped fabric across the shoulders, holding a silk rose. Seriously, they were horrible!
This high school senior wanted portraits at the stable in North Salem Westchester NY where her best equine friend lived. The day was spectacular and the location was just gorgeous.
These days, seniors want portraits that represent who they are right now. Young men can include sport uniforms, hobbies or even action shots doing any of their favorite activities. Young ladies request portraits with their horse, pet or even their favorite sport or activity. There's no limit on the creativity in which we can customize a session to really capture who you are.
So just think, these could be your graduation photos:
Funny Family Photographer
At the beginning of every session, I try and enlist the kids to help me test out my equipment and lighting. I tell them - do whatever you want - smile, frown, make a silly face. Inevitably, this gets them laughing - and usually me laughing as well. In this first photo, all 3 kids (only 2 are related) they all made the EXACT same face. Pretty hilarious! The lower photo - the first two were just as amused as I was!
Spring Portraits
Wishing everyone a wonderful long Memorial Day weekend as we kickoff the Summer months. The weather is spectacular and I'm thinking of all the heroes who deserve to be honored for their service and selflessness. Thank you to all who serve their country - freedom is never free! So be sure to say THANK YOU to all who serve our country.
