Portfolio


While I was working on some more of Samantha’s portfolio pictures, I found an adorable one of a moment shared with my baby girl…

This was taken while shooting a boudior portion in my studio.  Pixel decided that she was tired of Samantha getting all the attention and wanted some love from the camera too.  Sure, I may be pathetic for posting this, but you have to admit- it is too cute to sit in a folder buried away on my computer!

Earlier this month, I went home for an old friend and former neighbor’s wedding and was so happy to be surrounded with friends I had grown up so close to that I consider family (that post will be coming soon- I promise).  After connecting with Samantha, the cousin of my neighbor growing up, I discovered that she was considering going into modeling and wanted to put a portfolio.  I managed to talk my mom into coming out to Buffalo with her for the job; which we did this past Sunday.  It was a marathon day, trying to shoot for an entire portfolio, and by the end of the day we were unbelievably worn out.

We started out at the Roycroft Inn in East Aurora-

Then we shot over to Taste to use the awesome alley just outside (and pick up some coffee)…

On our way back, we hit this awesome loading dock near my apartment…

After picking up my husband, we headed up Broadway to shoot by a wall that I have been dreaming of using for almost a year now…
Oh yes, we used the blue brick wall!

After that, we jumped over to the Japanese gardens and History Museum

And we finished off at my studio…

Pixel decided that she wanted in on the action and pounced on Samantha just after we took this one!
To make it even more amusing, she came from in between the backdrops!

I had a great time working with my mom and Samantha.  Thanks for a great session and good luck with your modeling career!
