Alena’s Lacrosse Portrait Session
It's always a mix of emotions when your child approaches their senior year of high school. You're proud of their accomplishments, but also a little sad to see them grow up and leave the nest. And then, of course, there's the challenge of getting those perfect senior portraits series! When your daughter is a varsity lacrosse player, you know you're in for an interesting senior portrait session!
The Woodlands High School Varsity Girls Lacrosse game on October 2nd 2022
My first lacrosse photo shoot in The Woodlands, Texas. The John Cooper School doesn’t have a lacrosse team yet so Alena joined The Woodlands Girls Lacrosse Association as part of The Woodlands High School varsity team.
Varsity Girls Lacrosse Game
The final home game of the 2022 season was between Sewickley Academy’s Varsity Girls Lacrosse team and Shady Side Academy on May 9th. The skies were clear and blue which was great for the colorful action shots but very challenging for the players having to overcome the scorching heat and blinding sunshine. What a fight!

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.
Juliane’s Business Portraits
“I love the way you captured the spirit of your subjects. I know Melanie and her family well and it shows what an incredible family they are, and their individual unique personalities. With her professional photos, I like how you were able to strike a balance between them being very professional but personal, since she's in the fitness industry, I love how they show that off, but not in a stiff way where if feels like she's posing. Just brilliant! I would hope with mine that they reflect my personality. I pride myself on excellent customer service, personal attention, and most of all that the design experience is fun and the end results reflect my clients and their unique tastes.” Juliane M.
From Pittsburgh with Love
Thank you all for your birthday wishes. Here are some bright spring colors from Pittsburgh with love!
Lacrosse Fan
Lacrosse is Alena’s favorite sport. She fell in love with it last spring, right before the lockdown, and it was one of the things that kept her motivated to go outside, to use the new free time and to learn new skills. I’m really proud of what you've achieved in the past 12 months.
Alena and her photobombing dog
Our dog is a notorious photobomber. When he thinks my daughter and I have spent enough time in my studio, he just lies down in front of the camera and won’t budge. This is a rare occasion when I can actually photograph him in a still position, not running, jumping, barking, or chasing a chipmunk.

Stephanie’s Portraits for Pilates Studio
Look at this girl and see beyond her outer beauty: see her strong character and her ability to empathize. Stephanie was a Division I volleyball player, and discovered pilates while recovering from a severe lower back injury.
Mara’s Business Headshots
Mara is the Vice President of a civil engineering firm and an instructor at @clearlypilates. She wanted some portraits to represent her as a business woman and a strong negotiator, as well as honest, reliable and knowledgeable.
Judy’s Pilates Portfolio
Judy is the fittest person I’ve ever met in my entire life. Her breathing rhythm didn’t go up one notch when I asked her to freeze for quite a few minutes in those incredibly hard pilates poses.
Melanie’s Business Portraits
“You did a great job” - Melanie P.
What does it mean to be yourself? Is it just one personality? How many dimensions of ‘yourself’ are there? Which one do you bring forward during your portrait session?
Julie’s Personal Branding Session
