Lauren called me a couple weeks ago as a referral from my client-turned-friend Amber, of the fabulous Amber and Nathan. Lauren is a singer and currently attends a very prestigious music school on the East Coast, for which she needed some portraits as part of her senior project. She also needed some standard headshots for some projects she has coming up, so, we got together last week and did a short evening session. Amber tagged along and was great at helping me with the reflector, and providing entertainment in the form of her singing along to the songs from the musical Wicked she had blasting on her iPod. (Amber, you know I had to include that in this post! 🙂 )
The three of us had a great time together… we even topped off the evening with dinner at a local Mexican restaurant… Lauren is lacking authentic Mexican cuisine back East, so it’s always a treat to come home to SoCal for the real stuff.
Here are just a few of my favorites from our shoot:
We started off the shoot with some standard headshots. This was my favorite of that bunch.
Then we had some fun with different outfits. How cute is this hat that Lauren brought to add a little something different to her look? I love her expression here.
I knew Lauren probably wouldn’t be using this kind of shot for her project, but I took advantage of the model I had in front of me to play around with composition. I love this shot… and it has been made to be extra awesome by one of my favorite TRA2 Actions — BAMF (B&W). This B&W conversion is just amazing everytime.
Good luck with everything, Lauren! I wish you all the best and look forward to seeing you soon at Amber and Nathan’s wedding!
Amazing photos as always! Can’t wait for you to shoot our wedding in two weeks!
Interestingly, even for accountants :)))))
