Sarah's Headshots

I recently photographed Sarah, she needed some new headshots. Despite the intense heat (95 degrees!) photographing Sarah was a breeze. Luckily, her being located on the West Side, we were able to easily use Central Park as a backdrop for her gorgeous session and got some amazing shots!

Jasmine's Studio Pet Portraits

I know I posted about Jasmine not too long ago, but previously I was working on a project with her and Kate. I was interested in doing some portraits of her and her owner, Kate agreed. Jasmine was very excited for it, especially when she realized this meant she got some extra treats.

So, I got Jasmine into my studio and here are the results!

 

 

My Day with Jasmine

The other day I took some photographs of my neighbor's dog Jasmine. She is a King Charles Cavalier and Cocker Spaniel mix. We had a lot of fun and took a bunch of photos. A few days later the temperature reached 90 degrees and Jasmine's owner, Kate,  asked if I would dog sit because she knew I would be home and she was concerned with the heat. I had a fun day with Jasmine and took some more photos.

First things first, Kate brought over her food, water, leash, and some toys.

Then Jasmine made her self comfortable on the couch.

and she stayed on the couch.

After a while I tried to get her to play, so I tried to get her off the couch.

but, I think she really liked the couch.

I got this cute photo of her with her tongue sticking out. :)

Overall I had a great time with her. She kept me company as I did some editing and took photos of her. She's a great subject.

Theodora Hanslowe

Theodora (Teddi) is an opera singer who needed some promotional photos of herself done---or rather, updated promotional photos, since her last set were done more years ago than we can count. She contacted us through Jane Gillman (who we know from a commercial project we did for J'tote), and we had some tentative plans for a shoot, but scheduling issues came up which prevented it from going through the first time around. But happily, she contacted us again not so long ago and we made it happen! Teddi has had a long and distinguished career in opera, so our challenge was to take a portrait of her that both reflects her seriousness and dedication as an artist, without losing any of the warmth she has as a person and as a performer. This was one of our favorites:
