Read MoreThe Clack's Family Session at Blk Story Studio
I started 2022 off shooting one of my favorite families at Blk Story Studio in Frisco, Tx. I have been shooting portraits for the Clacks for a few years now. I have spent so much time with them that I don’t really consider them to be clients, but family.
We wanted to shoot somewhere out of the norm and I had recently come across Blk Story’s instagram account. The decor looked amazing and it was well thought out by the owners. I’m talking about pops of color, several different stations that you can shoot at and even move the furniture around to tailor it to your session. Another great thing about the studio is that it has ample amounts of natural light pouring in. I absolutely loved how I was able to move around and get different spills of light throughout the space. There wasn’t one place that I couldn’t go where the light wasn’t perfect.
Young Trey was so curious and active during our session. He was hopping down from the furniture to look around and explore his new surroundings. Chuck and Tiffany have their hands full for sure. Once this little guy starts walking; it’s going to be a problem, lol!
Rogers Maternity Session
There's something magical about shooting maternity sessions. All of the love in the air, the glow of a beautiful mommy to be, the father to be walking on air. It's picture perfect (no pun intended).
Two of my college friends are expecting their first child and I had the honor of being their photographer. We decided to shoot at Studio Bella's in Downtown Dallas. The aesthetic of the white room was perfectly matched with Erica's attire. I was definitely getting all the feels!
If you made it this far I thoroughly appreciate it. If you would like to see more visuals click here to visit my Youtube channel where you can see some of the film projects I have put together.
50 & Fabulous
Dana contacted me earlier in the year to make sure that she booked me for her birthday. There were no ideas or a real plan in place. Heck, we didn't have a location, but she knew that I had to be the photographer to shoot her and her sister Dionne's milestone birthday.
I was so pumped up after our conversation. It felt like our agreed upon date was never going to get here but, good things come to those who wait. Over the next few months we bounced ideas off one another and came to the conclusion that shooting in a studio environment would be the best way to go. The heat had been really turning up and by August/September who knew what kind of weather we were going to have? I can answer that...RELENTLESS heat. All of that beautiful makeup would have been melted for certain. So to cut that all out, I went ahead and made plans to book at Studio Bella's in Downtown Dallas.
The theme of the session was 50 & Fabulous. We shot in the black studio and the entire room was definitely fabulous! When Dana, Dionne and the glam squad entered I could tell they were in love. Chandeliers, huge windows that fed ample amounts of beautiful natural light, plush chairs, couches and the list goes on. This venue was definitely a perfect fit for what we came to accomplish.
This was a really fun shoot. We just turned on some good music and vibed out. Everyone took direction so well. One could say that the ladies were born for this. They were super photogenic and their personalities really came out when it was time for action. I could really tell how much D & D loved one another. There is nothing like a bond between siblings. They were each other’s cheerleader and they really showed support for one another throughout the session. If I had to use one word to describe Dana and Dionne, I would say, “Unified”
50 looks good on you ladies!!!! I hope you enjoyed the session as much as I did!
