Personality Portraits

DSC_3507_web

As a portrait photographer, my goal is often to capture the most flattering, striking, or beautiful image of a person. I love nothing more, however, than to allow the images to tell more of a story. Whether the photos are taken in the studio, at home, or on-location, when a client is comfortable enough to “let their hair down” and be themselves, that’s when we can get photos that paint the whole portrait of who they are, and what their relationships are really about.
This mother/daughter pair recently came into the studio for a family photo session, and while I got a bunch of cute shots, the “personality portraits,” were at the top of my list.

National Doughnut Day & Little Italy’s Art Walk

I sometimes like to get a coffee from Dunkin Donuts on my way into work, today was one of those days. Except what I didn’t know was that today is national doughnut day, which means no coffee for me. I couldn’t even squeeze my small car into the drive thru line and forget parking, the small lot was completely full. Regardless, I was happy to hear that there has been a day devoted to one of my favorite treats. Dunkin Donuts and Krispy Kreme have been giving away free doughnuts today but that doesn’t mean you can’t indulge in this tasty sweet from somewhere in else in town. Presti’s has some of the best doughnuts and is local to Cleveland. Right in the heart of Little Italy, Presti’s would be a great place to visit this weekend while strolling through the streets during Little Italy’s tri-annual Art Walk. The Art Walk will begin today and continue through the weekend until Sunday at 6pm. What could be better than some doughnuts, a chance to see and/or purchase some beautiful art and enjoy the sunny (keeping my fingers crossed) weather here in Cleveland?! We hope you have a sweet and possibly sticky weekend!

Almost Two Cute Two Shoot!

No, I didn’t become a photographer because I failed my grammar tests in school…!
It’s been said “It’s double the giggles and double the grins, and double the trouble if you’re blessed with twins.” Well, that may be true, unless you’re a photographer tasked with editing photos of adorable identical twins like Mr. N and Mr. B! During the twins’ photo shoot in our studio, some creative strategy had to be enacted to get those nearly two-year-olds to stay in the studio, let alone in the vicinity of one another– Elmo singing on my iPhone, held between my knees while I held the camera, & sea shells I brought back from a vacation last winter both did the trick! That was the easy part… then came editing the photos. I had to make sure I didn’t give their mom pictures of only one little guy (but come on… would she really know the difference?? :-) just kidding!!) In the group photos of the brothers together, there was no problem telling them apart… Mr. B is a bit bigger! But in their individual portraits?? Oh, good luck! All of us in the office gathered around the computer for what felt like hours until we found what we were looking for… A little bruise on Mr. N’s forehead, and a tiny little blemish next to Mr. B’s right eye– thank goodness!! They’re not so identical after all! All I know is that those little guys had us laughing long after the photo shoot was over– they were so adorable, so expressive, and just so cute!! Two-year-olds can definitely run the show, but they are so much fun! Hopefully Mr. B and Mr. N will come visit us again soon!

Two Much of a Good Thing!
