Matt called me in September for headshots. He writes scores for films and needed some professional photos for publicity and his website. Fun thing about shooting with Matt is we went to grade school and high school together, but haven’t talked for at least a decade, probably more. We had a great time walking around the Woodstock square catching up and doing portraits. It was a very relaxing session with lots of laughter.

At one point we were questioned about what we were doing by a very intoxicted individual threatening that some people in Woodstock don’t like having their photos taken. "Just thought I should warn you," he said. Well good thing Matt hired me and I didn’t force him into a headshots session!

Anyway, here are some portraits from Matt’s session—enjoy!

Anytime Portraits | Sam and Her Pups

This was a fun shoot for some anytime portraits with Sam. She brought along her pups and we made portraits of everyone! These were shot at Veteran Acres in Crystal Lake, a park full of great natural backdrops—one of my favorite places to shoot!

More and more, fall is my favorite time of year to shoot. Although, I’ll probably say that about spring as soon as we get there, too. I just love finding that gorgeous natural light and working it outdoors.

Junkyard Portrait Session

I’ve always wanted to shoot in a junkyard, and I finally got my chance! Kayla just graduated from 8th grade so what better way to mark that milestone than by making some fun portraits? She was a good sport and willing to get a little dirty and brave the rains. Oh the rain! For the first portion of our shoot is was storming like mad out so we worked with what we had inside—I have to say I think we got some great stuff in there!

The best images happened outside. Just before calling it a day the clouds broke and the sun came out. The junkyard was soaking wet, but the atmosphere and natural light were perfect for our portraits! So we got to work and made some excellent images.

Thanks for being a good sport, Kayla, and congratulations on your graduation!
