Candace's Headshots

I had another great headshot session this week. Candace is an aspiring model here in Columbia. She's relatively new to modeling, but has a great chance to do some amazing work in her career. It's not always easy being in front of the camera and a lot of my headshot sessions are also designed to help actors and models learn how to be in front of a camera. I try and spend a lot the time talk to them about how certain posing and positioning relate different emotions and responses from the viewer.

Here are some of my favorites of Candace. Again, we worked through a number or looks and came out some great shots she will be able to use to get booked for bigger and better jobs.

John's Headshots

I've been pretty slack about blogging lately, but it's not 2012 and it's time to get back into it. I'll be posting more things from the end of 2011 shortly.

First though, I've been working really hard on focusing my non-wedding photography for 2012. While I like doing family and baby photos, I wanted to shift to something a little different. I've decided I really want to focus my non-wedding photography almost exclusively on being the best Headshot photographer in Columbia. It's taken me a lot of time and work and I've been studying from the best headshot photographer in New York. It's going to take me some time to build up my reputation and a following, but Columbia isn't a huge market for actors and models, so if I do it right, I should be able to build a name in this fairly quickly.

One of my first re-branded headshot sessions was with a New York based Actor. John has been in a number or great plays and a few TV spots. Most recenty he was on the cover of American Theatre for his role in a Christmas Carol.

The goal of my headshot sessions is to create range for an actor. So as you look at the following headshots. Notice how we go from Nice guy to Scary intense guy and a few places in between. This gives John the ability to use the most appropriate headshot for his auditions.

If you are a professional, CEO, Actor or Model and you need a headshot, please contact me.

Britton and Jon's Wedding at the Lace House.

Britton and Jon are two amazing people. They spend their lives in service to the public in law enforcement. They were both just wonderful people and I had so much fun shooting their engagement session, bridal portrait session and wedding.

Britton and Jon were married at First Presbyterian Church in downtown Columbia and the reception was at the Lace House. Special thanks goes out to  Chelsey Winford for amazing makeup, Southern Way Catering for providing all the great food, Micheal Joye at PartyTime Djs for keeping the party going and Parkland Cakes for a stunning wedding cake and to everyone at the Lace House for having such a beautifull place for a wedding. Here are a few teaser photos!

Britton's Bridal Portraits at the Lace House

Britton and Jon got married this weekend. While I haven't finished with their wedding photography yet, it does mean that I finally get to share her bridal portraits with everyone. We shot Britton's bridal portraits at the Lace house in Columbia. It was a beautiful location for a beautiful bride. Here are a few of my favorites.

Tyler & Julius's wedding at the Springvalley Country Club

Tyler and Julius got married Sept 24th and boy did we have fun.  They got married at St. Martins in the field and had their reception at the Springvalley Country Club. Tyler was a beautiful bride and Julius was a great guy! There were all kinds of fun things about this wedding. From the dog being dressed up to the classic rolls-royce convertable, this wedding had a lot of special touches. The entertainment was provided by Second Nature and the cake was done by the amazing people at Parkland Cakes. Here are a few of my favorite shots from the wedding. Hope you enjoy.
