1st Portraits

We had her relax on the couch while we warmed up the shoot. Chatting about her childhood and how it affected her career. Used a soft light while utilizing the lamp from the back.


2nd studio Portraits

Shadows really get me especially when it makes my subject look mysterious. We had her on a white background and utilized the old tv as a prop.


3rd studio Portraits

This one was a similar setup but used the smoke machine to create this mystery for her. Also, love playing with the flowy dress which gave her poses a nice elegant touch.


4th studio portraits

Love taking off the diffuser to create such a harsh light. This was aimed just above her face and cranked up the power.
