20 Minute Headshot

I met Laura in a restaurant and learned she was a dancer. She's Italian and has only been in Chicago for a few months. I feel bad that her only experience so far, is Chicago in the winter--not fun for a sun lover! Anyway, I thought she would be perfect for testing my quick headshot session. It took all of 20 minutes to shoot and we had about 60 images to look at.

So, check out the special offers in March and April. There will be the 20 minute headshot session along with open studio for special all day events. Keep ya posted!

Actor Headshot

The following images are for an actor who is updating his look. I photographed him before and we worked together to create some edgy looks. This time we both agreed that casual would be good. (L) is very easy to work with even in the heat (a very hot day!)










Hope everyone is having a good summer. I'll be taking Stella to school next week and the studio will be closed. We'll be ready to rock and roll in September! See you.

Model Shots

Again, another long day of work. Trying to get my website back up. My web guru (Shawnna Rovinsky/Design Goddess) has made a custom site that I can update and change at anytime. It's very exciting but I never seem to have the time to go through and pick the photos. Hopefully very soon I will have it done. I will kept you posted.
Today I'm putting up some shots I did last week for K. who also wants to update her model portfolio. There are so many to choose from so I may add more at another time.
Enjoy!

Headshot for M

Headshots are almost always fun to shoot and M. was no exception. I had her outside in the Chicago wind, inside with skylights and in the studio with lighting. It was a long session but we got a lot of different looks for her to choose from. I'm showing a few of the one's I like. Enjoy!

Headshot For Opera Singer

Olga just picked up her discs to take to the printer to get her headshots printed. She was thrilled with the outcome so I thought I'd share her photos.

It's important to have both color AND black & whites to show these days.


I also shot one for myself I'd like to share. It's a profile and not useful for Olga's headshots but after she saw it she has decided to use it for business cards. I find it to be stunning (if I do say so myself) and am very happy with the outcome.

Okay, it's Friday and a beautiful day here in Chicago. I've decided after posting this I'm going to the lake to take a few shots.

Enjoy & peace,
