photographer headshots

photographer headshots are a two-part tricky thing: 1. you are photographing a fellow photographer. 2. you are photographing a fellow photographer.

‘nough said. the pressure is on, in a good way.

in our line of business, having a ‘good’ head shots helps bring our clients closer to us... giving them a glimpse into the warmth and humanity of us... humans. we are not just a name, buisness, but are fun loving people who love to use our cameras to bring out the best in people.

nicole marie needed some currently headshots for her photography business website. we met up last week for coffee and had a wonderful time talking shop. i enjoyed learning more about her, her family & business. she even allowed me to check out her spiffy canon 50 f/1.2 glass... tempting, but i still like nikon :)

i told nicole i probably wouldn’t post the shots on the blog, but i was wrong. the bokeh of the 85 f/1.4 with the full-frame advantage of the nikon d-700 was too much to resist, so i had to post a few favs from our 15-minute mini-portrait session in lakewood;



one of the final shots, smack dab in front of a kinda stinky dumpster... but it made for a simple backdrop that i thought worked.
