Portraits to Celebrate Your Birthday Day

Novoshakhtinsk Brandi was turning 35 and wanted to celebrate herself!! Life isn’t always easy and the last couple of years had been rough; she had two very dear losses in her life in those 2 years. She was coming out of the pain and wanted to celebrate her birthday in a fun, unique way! I was SO EXCITED that she booked me!! We talked about her shoot, she wanted a mixture of film noir and a magazine shoot (like a spread you’d see in Vogue or W magazine).  She bought in some amazing clothing choices! Nothing needed from my style closet. The red and gold dress was actually her mom’s from the 1980’s and most of the other items were vintage as well. I just love her style vibe!! She wanted a studio and location shoot. She always wanted some graffiti as a backdrop. I found a remote location and purchased a confetti canon to give the finishing touches and FUN to our portraits there. I just love this shoot!! The peace on her face as the confetti rains down on her– brings me so much joy!! Hey, what are YOU doing for your birthday this year?!

Dream Photo Shoot | Manassas Portrait Photographer

Andrea and I had been chatting about this session for about 6 months. She was traveling and waiting for her schedule to open up. She told me, “I want you to style me, I want glitter, sparkles and all the glam I can get.” So, I HAPPILY made it happen for her!! I loved every look with did, and so did she!! When we finished up shooting and she was walking out of the studio, she said, “I am ready to do this again!!” — ME TOO, ME TOO!!

Mother Time | Fantasy Portraits Manassas Virginia

I always like to shoot creatively for myself. Sometimes my ideas start with a concept, vision or feeling. This particular shoot was inspired by Father Time. I wanted to create a “Mother Time” but with a more fashion feel. There was a cartoon that was played every Christmastime about Father Time. I loved it. Also, I am a geek about time travel. I love to watch any movie on time travel and I am truly fascinated by worm holes! So, one of the photos I created in camera a vibe or a wormhole. And then, I had the model try on one of my new dresses from the studio style closet!

Models Portfolios | Manassas Headshot Photographer

I love working with models and actors! A lot of times we have no agenda, it is a time for both of us to play!! I added some amazing items to the studio style closet this year!! One of my favorite items is this amazing top hat. Do you want to wear it? Just thought I would share some of images from a couple of sessions in December!

Loved capturing this young lady for her senior portraits! What an honor it is to get to create landmark portraits for seniors. AND we have so much fun! Anna was on point for her color choices of her wardrobe — with the location I picked it turned out great!! It was a bit chilly on this November day–but, we created some awesome portraits!!
