In the past few months it seems like I have taken more head shots than ever before in my photography career. Even infants are getting head shots taken (and baby bum shots too) for upcoming model/talent searches here in Denver.
This head shot was taken at a local favorite of mine. A free-standing building that is just perfect for photographers. The bricks and columns make this charming little find perfect for weddings, senior portraits, family portraits and of course...head shots! What's even better is is that this hidden treasure is surrounded by huge, old Cotton Wood trees and there is a small creek and winding path near by as well. Just a perfectly, peaceful place.
When my own daughters were only four and two, and we had just moved to Colorado from Florida, I found this little gem and snapped off a few (dozen) Easter portraits. Years flew by and it was senior portrait time and I remembered our special place. We went back to our find, and recreated her pose at age eighteen. This time a bright future and sparkling light of hope reflected in her eyes.
I saw a lot of hope in this young lady as she posed too, without a coat on a cold January day. She braved the elements to get her perfect head shot.
If you are considering head shots, get outside! Don't stay inside and stand beside a dreary black or white backdrop. There are too many wonderful little finds out there in the world. Go look for them. Or, better yet, find a photographer who already knows where they are. :)

Just lovely. My daughter is going to be auditioning for a play at the Center for Performing Arts in Denver and will need some head shots soon. I'll contact you through your website page. I love your work! Marsha B.
ReplyDeleteHi Marsha,
ReplyDeleteI received your email today. Thank you. I have some new back drops that we can use indoors or we can also find a fun location, once it warms up. I'll email you.
