High School Senior Portraits for Lily
“Thank you for Lily’s senior pictures - they are great!”

A portrait session in a hotel lobby
I was reminded today of a hotel shoot we did with Alena last summer in Washington DC. The city was empty and the hotel atrium was completely desolate. It seemed like a perfect opportunity to do a spontaneous mini-session. We utilised the midday sun diffused by the hotel roof and the on-camera flash to get a variety of shots within a short period of time.
I really like the results but if I were doing a personal branding shoot for a client, I would have used a couple of softboxes of white umbrellas to achieve the complete feeling of natural light and of course would shoot tethered and take my time to get each shot absolutely perfect.
A 10-min fall mini-session, natural light only
I needed to do a 10-min fall mini-session photo challenge, natural light only, any place, any time. So I asked my favorite model in the world to pose for me in our backyard. It was raining really hard this week but there was a short window yesterday when we could go outside and do it. Love these impromptu moments.

A photo session with friends... how cool is that? These images are just a small portion of both group and individual shots we did for Khala and her friends.
Alena’s Mini Session
“Could we do just a short session, one location and no outfit changes?” Sure! This shoot lasted 30 minutes. The key ingredients were a gorgeous girl and a magical September sunset that appeared from behind the tall trees and lasted just long enough for us to take these portraits.
