New Backgrounds

July 28, 2010

I’m excited to offer several new headshot backgrounds for those who like the look of a studio background! I like the natural environment look a lot, but I love color so I tend to like these a lot, too. My set-up arrived by mail yesterday and while it was so, so fun to do a test shoot with my juice container, I tweeted for a model willing to come asap.  KL was just leaving an audition, so she stopped by for a quick shoot, no special clothes or make-up for the occasion.  I love how they turned out!

New backgrounds are:  purple, green, aqua, white, and pink (not shown).  (In case you aren’t familiar with your colors….)



Apeture 3 Rainbow

April 24, 2010

I was messing around with my new toy, Aperture 3, in hopes that I could recreate what I do in Photoshop in order to speed up the editing process.  I believe  I’ll be able to do it for headshots which will be a nice timesaver, but unfortunately so far I can’t emulate the akeiganphoto retro style I love.  Close, but not good enough.  While I was in Aperture,  I edited this shot of KL a few different ways…just for fun.  :)

You probably aren’t reading this, but just in case….Today was summer!  It was toasty hot all day & the smell of blooming flowers infused the air.  I hiked with one friend in the morning and another in the afternoon, then followed it with some white wine and salsa on the patio.  Now I feel like I was at a pool or the ocean all day, exhausted and still hot from the inside out.  And to think I’m going to be snowboarding in a mere three days!

We had so much fun taking these shots!!!  Kelsey was my roommate when I first moved to LA through a school program in 2001.  All the other students were paired four to a suite, but the two of us got our own pad way the hell across Oakwood from everyone else.  Kelsey is often around for headshot sessions as my very talented make-up artist, but this time it was her own face she made up. She was willing to try out some new nearby locations and I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out.  Kelsey is seriously one of the most real, interesting, artistic, fun, and just plain “good people” I have ever met. I hope that comes across in the photos!  I always have a ton of keepers from a session, but this time there were over 700 shots I just couldn’t part with.  Ms. Photogenic here owes me a hard drive.


Happy Birthday, Kelsey!

Sneak Preview: Sarah Rodenbaugh

September 16, 2009

Here’s a sneak preview of some of my faves from SR’s shoot today.  There are so many more, I’m not sure how I decided on these….I’ll probably blog more tomorrow.  Actually, I know I will.  SR was my second headshot session ever last October.  It was immediately following my very first headshot session, too, so it was kind of like my first.  ;  )  It was also the first time we ever hung out alone , which sparked the beginning of our friendship!

Make-up was done by the fabulous Kelsey Link.  First time I’ve ever used the word fabulous, take note.
