What a gorgeous family! Its no wonder when they went in to meet with BMG for their son, Lochlan, they all left with contracts! Central Florida does a lot of "real family" castings so having a full family of models is an amazing thing! We started with the full family - I just love how Ashley color coordinated the whole family! The pops of blue really bring out their eyes! Dad, Michael, was wonderful on set helping his son Lochlan get into character and show me that beautiful smile. I learned very quickly that the best thing to do to help him smile and laugh is to.....count! He just loves counting. What a cool kid! This whole family hung in their as it was hot and bright towards the end of the shoot. Thanks for sticking it out with me! I wish you all the best moving forward with BMG! :)

This girl. Just amazing! I loved getting to know Kira {and her family!} during our session. She is full of life, love and hope. Kira has a disease called Cystic Fibrosis which affects her lungs and digestion-she does breathing exercises and takes many pills a day to function normally. As a bearer of this disease, Kira does her part in raising awareness and is also an active supporter of "Free2luv." She is a very talented singer as well and does not let her disease stop her from living her life the way she wants to. Kira certainly is an inspiring young lady! We had a great time shooting many looks and I just love models like her who give me the freedom to put together fun and unique outfits {she even let me use a necklace as a head piece...poor girl had indents in her head haha}! I'm loving every single one of these photos-she proved her versatility and motivation. You go girl! :)
Meet Robby- the All American boy! Like a lot of the models I photograph, Robby is new to the scene but that certainly didn't stand in his way! He just has that "look" that works and he figured out very quick how to perform in front of my camera. With eyes and a smile like that, I know he will go far! Thanks for a great shoot :) When I sent the proofs to his agent at BMG, she was thrilled as well! I love being able to have relationships with great central Florida agencies!
Jeremy was quite the ham!! He had charisma and charm and would you look at those eyes!?! Amazing. When Jeremy and his mom showed up, I was instantly in awe of what he was wearing...it went PERFECT with a location I had already selected {without them even knowing!} Take a look at how awesome his blue and red flow in the pictures below ;) I learned a lot about Jeremy during our shoot-most notably that he loves Harry Potter-we almost did a Harry Potter themed shoot LOL! I love when the client gets involved, especially when its a tenacious 9 year old boy. He helped me pick out outfits and showed me "what went best together." I got to explore a new little town in Central Florida for this session-think I may go back! Thanks for a great shoot-keep on dancin' Jeremy!
I am happy to be sharing photos from a recent shoot I did with two very talented brothers! These two were signed to Benz Model and Talent Agency and came to me for portfolio photos. I love shooting siblings together because the energy on set is always amazing! These two were so much fun to be around-they kept high energy and excitement the whole time, and just look how cool they are :) I wanted to showcase two different sides of each of them: modern & fashionable; then some 90's grunge {which, hey, is also coming back in style}! Thanks for a great shoot, guys! I can't wait to see how far you both will go.
I loved shooting this set of siblings!!! Isaac {who is only FOUR!} was magnificant! This little guy was so well behaved, a natural in front of the camera, and he gave me smiles and swag! I'm very impressed with his ability to model so well at such a young age. Not to mention the patience he had while waiting for his turn to shoot next. Great job, Isaac! I also had the opportunity to shoot his older sister, Samantha! She was so sweet and also very patient on set. I loved her ability to follow direction and she fit right into each scene I put her in! These two are great kids and I had awesome parents on set to hold umbrellas over me as it drizzled throughout the shoot-thanks guys! :) Dani, Dani, Dani...where to start with this girl!!! She is by far one of my favorite models I've ever photographed! She is incredibly beautiful and has the best energy and attitude on set...not to mention she is so talented. This is a girl that makes my job easy-she just flows and moves-all I have to do is follow her and click! I'm inspired by young models like her; she has a wonderful career ahead of her! I so enjoyed having her makeup artist/nanny/friend on set too-what a fun day we all had in Hyde Park! :)
Jacklyn!! What a special young lady this is :) She towered over me at 6 feet tall and has a smile for days! She was so easy to work with, and her mom was a great addition to the set as well. I had my trusty makeup artist with me styling Jacklyn and making her oh so flawless! Georgia Kaden, you are the best! My favorite part of shooting Jacklyn was how versitile she is! She definitely has that "All American girl" look-you can see it in her smile....but her ability to transform into an elegant young woman is spectacular. I love the simple, yet powerful images we got of Jacklyn all dressed up! From boho chic, to girl next door, to fierce and flawless-Jacklyn can do it all!
Nicole, Nicole, Nicole!!! This young actor and comedian has wonderful things ahead of her. I was incredibly impressed with her spirit, enthuiasm and abilities to perform in front of the camera. We did a few different head shot looks for her as her agent requested several "character" looks for different type of projects. When it came time for Nicole to get into character(s) she blew me away! From one face to the next, Nicole was a natural. I am thrilled with these photos and hope they serve her well! Take a look through her website to view her stand up comedy videos...she is hysterical and its definitely worth it to check her out! www.nicolelaurencomedy.com
What a great shoot I had with Rana! This girl is a true natural in front of the camera. She knows how to move, pose, smile and dance-I barely said a word during our shoot-all I had to do was CLICK! :) From start to finish Rana was a joy to be around and I know she will do great things in this industry! Once again, the wonderful hair and makeup was provided by Georgia Kaden {she also recommended an awesome location where we did two of our looks}!
Oh Fawn-how I adore this girl!!! Just the sweetest thing you will ever meet :) This was my second time shooting with Fawn and I'm so pleased that I had the opportunity to have this gorgeous face in front of my camera again! Make up artist/hair stylist Georgia Kaden joined us this time and she made a great addition to the team! I admire both of these ladies' dedication to their work, both met at my house at 6:30am for makeup...Fawn drove from Atlanta to be here. What a trooper! We had a lot of fun on set (besides the mosquitoes, of course), and I'm so happy with the results! Thanks for a great shoot! Tune in to the new show "Red Band Society" to see Fawn as "nurse" on set!!
Meet Elise!! One of the most beautiful faces I've had step in front of my camera-she will take over the world! And not only beautiful, but absolutely sweet as can be and full of life! It was a long and tiring day but she held in there despite having to make a few stops due to a flat tire! One of my favorite moments of shooting Elise was when I had her include the sea shell...all I had to do was tell her the ocean was calling and she proceeded to have an entire conversation about her day so far, her mom and the pictures she was taking. What a little actress! I am thrilled thrilled thrilled with all four looks we did for her portfolio and I can't wait to see where she goes from here! :)
Pretty Ariel, represented by Benz Models and Talent Agency. When this young gal arrived I knew that she was a star! Perfectly polite, eager to shoot, and just gorgeous! Ariel's mom, dad and brother came along to the session and I just loved having three built in assistants to hold reflectors and cheer sister/daughter on! I have to give a shout out to her big brother who was just the sweetest, most supportive family member I've ever had on set :) As for Ariel, just look at that face! This angel face shot piercing looks at the camera and made her presence known. Shine on, Ariel!
Meet gorgeous Ashley!!! This tall all American beauty can do it all!! Usually with comp card sessions its commercial, commercial, commercial {that is what sells after all!}...but Ashley is incredibly versatile and we took advantage of that! After commercial and theatrical headshots we did an editorial look at an old ship in Tarpon Springs, followed by smiles, sparkles and shine downtown where she rocked some cowboy boots and a pretty rose dress. Lastly we finished up with an edgy fashion look where we really had fun with some dynamic shots. I'm thrilled with the results, and thrilled with Ashley! Can't wait to see this girl work!
Introducing 18 year old Joshua, signed with Benz Model and Talent Agency! I loved shooting this young man-he has an amazing personality and a natural acting talent which made him a blast to shoot. He never once stopped smiling and laughing which made for some really amazing photos. Joshua, his mom and I explored Ybor scouting out locations on the fly {something I don't do often...I'm a planner}!! I'd say we had a pretty good morning, what do you think?? Look out for this guy to be all over the place-he's already done his first job with Blue Cross Blue Shield. CONGRATS JOSHUA!
I don't know if I could EVER say enough wonderful things about Kai who is newly signed to Benz Models and Talent Agency. This fresh-faced, All American beauty impressed me with her natural posing, the ability to follow and adapt to instructions, and her dedication to get the perfect shot despite uncomfortable {freezing and windyyyyy} circumstances!!! The always impressive Georgia Kaden met us in the morning to do hair and makeup and helped Kai look stunning the entire day in 20 mile an hour wind!! I just loved photographing Kai, and I know this young star will make it to the big leagues! I can't wait to see you SHINE Kai!! :)
Gorgeous gorgeous Fawn, a fresh faced, newly signed beauty from Central Florida Talent! First let me say....that HAIR!! Is any one else super jealous!? Amazing :) My favorite part of shooting Fawn was how versatile she is! We started off the day with head shots where she looked like her stunning 26 year old self, and ended the day in pig tails where she transformed into a bubbly teen-what a wide range of options I see for this gal! I am so excited with the results of our session, and to have stepped into the realm of acting head shots as well! Keep on smiling, Fawn!!
Meet Hunter!!! Where to start with this beauty?? I have had my eye on this girl for a looooong time, always thinking that she would look great in front of my camera! And the day came where we made it happen! Hunter is truly a natural, one incredibly gifted young model. She moves and flows so naturally in front of the camera, she makes a photographer's job very easy! With representation from Wilhelmina Models, Hunter will continue to shine for years to come. Do yourself a favor and remember this face! And then....Check out Miss Katie Kyle!!! I am SO proud of this girl!! She came to me with no shoot experience, but with tons of energy and a great attitude...and she rocked it, didn't she!? I love having the opportunity to shoot talent from other areas in the country besides my little corner of Florida-this beauty resides in Atlanta and will begin her big city takeover soon :) I very much enjoyed shooting Katie-she is eager, full of joy and most of all has a million dollar smile! Lovely Chelsea, newly signed with Benz Model and Talent Agency in Tampa! I love working with Benz and I LOVE working with fresh faced beauties like Chelsea! We had a great morning in Tarpon Springs shooting many different styles and looks-she nailed every single one of them with her ability to transform from one to the next. A vibrant personality, stunning eyes, and a willingness to learn spells out success for this young new model! Go get em, girl!
Cassidy! A 13 year old from BMG models in Orlando. This girl just oooooozes personality, she was so much fun to shoot!! Her wardrobe is what little girls (and photographers) dream of. Mom, Heather, was so incredibly organized with boxes, containers, suitcases, and racks full of amazing items to choose from-it was a blast just picking out her wardrobe! As soon as Cassidy stepped in front of my camera she turned it on; she is an absolute natural. Smiles, giggles, and the ability to move and pose! As we geared up for our final look (my current obsession), I had a vision in my head of what I wanted to achieve...and Cassidy nailed it! The glasses and suspenders are just to die for on this girl, she rocked it! So glad to have met this lovely young lady and her momma who were both so sweet and full of life! Go conquer the world, Cassidy!
Meet Stephen, represented by Benz Model and Talent Agency. This all American boy is 16 and stands 6 feet, 3 inches tall! WOW! I see great things in his future :) He did wonderful during our session...I'm so impressed with his skateboarding skills! He probably did about 40 'ollies' in a row and would have kept going had I not told him to stop because we got the shot. I cannot wait to see how this young man evolves into a super star!
Meet Kendall! A five (wait...5 1/2) year old cutie pie from BMG models in Orlando! When Kendall and her mom and dad first arrived, I knew that we were going to have a great time. Kendall was ready for action and super excited to show me all of her fun clothes she brought along! I loved the energy and enthuiasm from this whole family-every one was eager to please (even dad who held reflectors and even got one folded back up for me)!! Thanks! ;) I feel very blessed to have met this family, and consider momma, April, now one of my friends! Favorite part of my job? Creating beautiful photographs of beautiful people...second favorite part of my job? Meeting the beautiful people and their beautiful families. I just know little Kendall will make it far-how can you resist those baby blues and adorable personality?! Even her serious face makes my heart melt <3
Meet Tiffany!! Tiffany came all the way from Sarasota to shoot with me which is amazing! She was a true joy to shoot and was full of great positive energy. When we met in the morning it was cloudy, overcast, humid and there was a massive chance of rain! Of course! We started out at the beach and got two looks in before the rain rolled in which made for some really great lighting-I'm so pleased with these photos as I haven't had the chance to shoot comp cards on the beach up until now! As the day went on we fought more rain but as we waited out the droplets in a local restaurant, Tiffany got a history lesson on one of Florida's oldest towns from a local :) As we finished up our session I really wanted to strip Tiffany down to her most natural state: jeans, a tank and pulled back hair. I am over the moon excited about these last photos and I just know she will BOOK BOOK BOOK with these images! You go girl!
Brycen and Brody - signed with Junior Talent management! Where to start with these two!?! Just the most handsome and adorable pair of three year olds I've ever seen!! This was my first encounter with shooting twins and I've gotta say, I couldn't have asked for a better family to share this experience with! Mom, Stefani, was an amazing assistant and worked just as hard as I did during our session. I couldn't have done it without her!! We played with bug catching nets, tried to "blow" monster trucks off of steps, watched magical frogs jump out of my camera, and finished off the session with some much deserved marshmellows! What an evening! And these faces are just to die for...their "serious" shot kills me its so darn cute! Go get 'em boys :)
