Kalya Mills Hoop Star

This is my third photo session with Kayla and as a new model she is really learning fast how to create great images of herself in front of the camera.  This fashion-portrait session was captured in front of a friend's red barn with a basketball hoop attached and was the impetus for the idea of photographing Kayla in sportswear.  I shot at the start of sunset to capture rich warm tones while using natural lighting and sometimes filling in shadows with onboard flash at camera level.

Kayla & The Pink Guitar


For several years I’ve used my drones to capture the natural scenes around me because they do such a wonderful job of showing views at altitudes that only our aviary friends see on everyday flights. However, the heart of my photography has always been based on the fact that I am a portrait photographer at heart. With the recent purchase of the DJI Mini 3 Pro the idea of using it as an extension to my still camera gear struck me as a neat and fun way to create something unique and different for my portfolio. After conducting a maiden flight earlier in the day I brought the drone along on a model shoot that had been scheduled that afternoon. This video is my first attempt at this type drone photography and it was exciting to see the results the drone produced within a few minutes of flying.

Enjoy!

 


Alexandria Williams

As a professional portrait photographer when you come across a "perfect face" you have the desire to photograph it, and that is exactly what happened to me when I met Alexandria Williams upon visiting my local CVS pharmacy.  I did not hesitate asking her for a photo session and she happily agreed.  We did not have a lot of time during the session, but I am very pleased with the images I was able to capture of her.  Enjoy!

Kayla Mills

I met Kayla at my local cellphone service provider and after sitting with her and discussing options I was completely captivated by her awesome smile.  So, I simply asked her would she model for a quick portrait session.  I am glad her answer was "yes" because this initial session reveals not only her incredible smile but also her inherent beauty as a black woman.

I am looking forward to additional sessions with Kayla and the images can only get better as we work together.
