Head Shots for the Hubby

Kevin recently got a new job that he's pretty excited about. Due to COVID-19 the office has opted not to have a photographer come in and take headshots of the new hires. Instead, they asked everyone to do their best to capture a professional looking photo for the company website until such time that they feel it is safe to bring in a photographer. Kevin asked me to take his photo for him, and of course I agreed. Here are my favorites of the bunch:
Isn't he a cutie? ;)

Lily's Sneak Peek

Where does the time go?  I cannot believe it has been so long since I've posted any portraits on the blog.  I guess I was waiting for a good reason to blow the dust off the blog and wipe the cobwebs off my camera, and I definitely found it.  I assure you these photos are going to be worth the long wait!

Tonight I had the honor and the pleasure of photographing the GORGEOUS Lilliana, who is the daughter of one of my co-workers.  I was so thrilled when she agreed to let me take her photos and even more excited she opted to have her session at one of my all time favorite locations.  I had an absolute blast taking these photos for Lily, and I hope you love them as much as I do!

So, without futher ado, please allow me to introduce you to Lily:

It takes most people a little while to get comfortable in front of the camera but Lily was rocking it right from the start! This stunning image is one of the first ones I took...


Just look at that beautiful smile...


If you know me then you know I can't resist a stunning black and white image, and this is definitely a favorite...



Another favorite in black and white...


Is she gorgeous or what?!...




Definitely another favorite...




Lily's first outfit was just perfect!  I loved how the color stands out against the greenery...






This is another favorite. I just love how comfortable and casual she looks...






Another one of my favorites. (good thing I don't have to pick just one!)...





Could this be any more perfect?!...



Lily almost opted not to have any photos taken in this dress.  Thank goodness she changed her mind, because WOW!...




I really love this next set!  I'm so glad that Lily agreed to splash around in the water all in the name of some fun photos...





These next two photos are taken at one of my favorite locations in the park.  Some pesky clouds came rolling in causing it to get dark a little earlier than we expected.  So, we didn't get to get as many shots in this area as I would have liked but Lily rocked the few we did get...




We were losing light fast, and I was basically just looking for any place that had a little light left for a few last photos.  We stumbled upon this little area where I had never taken photos before, and I'm so glad we did!  I just love the color of Lily's dress against this background...


This was the last photo I took, and as you can clearly see Lily was still rocking it right up to the very end...


Lily ~ It was a pleasure to meet you and thank you for allowing me to take your photos!  I really enjoyed taking these for you.  I hope the rest of your senior year is fabulous!

Law Firm | Head Shots

The law firm that Kevin is working at needed some new staff head shots for their website so I volunteered to take them. If I've learned anything during my years as a portrait photographer, it's that my favorite photos of someone rarely coinside with the person's favorites of themself.  In that regard, I try to provide a ton of options when I do headshots so that clients will hopefully find at least one that they like.

For my post, I narrowed it down to my top four faves of each employee to share:

The Boss Man...
Kevin, the other attorney on staff...
The paralegals...
And the support staff...
As always, thanks for stopping by!
