Studio Session with Dallas Model, Natalie

Most of the people that I photograph are not professional models, they are just everyday people- families, high school seniors, and individuals celebrating birthdays and other milestones. Some of my clients, however, are working or aspiring models. Natalie is a model with Campbell Modeling Agency in Dallas, and needed some fresh new images to update her modeling portfolio, so we created a diverse range of looks for her.

Our first look was "beauty" inspired, we wanted everything to be simple and clean. I love the balance of the warmer beige and pink tones against her blue eyes and the lavender.

For our next look, we used my Broncolor Para 133 light fully-focused to create this crispy, gutsy light against a black backdrop. I love the mood it creates. 

For our next look, we wanted something that was bold and dramatic. We created an "outdoor look" by photographing her against a gray backdrop, and by placing some fake palm leaves between the light and her. This was my first time trying this, and as the images were coming through on my camera I got more and more excited! 

Next, we wanted something more "girl next door", natural and easygoing. 

Our last look, we used my gold hand-painted canvas backdrop (painted by Oliphant Studios in New York), for an earthy, contrasty look. These last two looks actually used the natural light that my beautiful 12x12' windows provide. 

For all of my sessions, I help you create multiple looks like this. We use cloths you already own, perhaps some borrowed or rented pieces, and I even have a collection of beautiful dresses at my studio. (Checkout the post before this one to view these.) We provide professional makeup an hairstyling, and we photograph you in my studio and/or outdoors. You don't have to come up with poses or worry about your expression- that's my job!

Whether you are a professional model like Natalie, or just want to feel like a model for a day and create some incredible photos of you, I would love to chat.
