Ice Cream Shop Nostalgia

I don't remember the genesis of the idea for This photo shoot, but when I proposed it to Kayla, she was all on board.  I knew I wanted all the images processed into black and white to capture the nostalgic look of the bygone days of black-and-white photography.  Kayla decided on the outfit, knew the perfect location for the session, and after contacting the owner, we were granted full access to the ice cream shop.  The beauty of black-and-white photography will always exist.

Marlo Matoska

SOME WOMEN HAVE A LATENT BEAUTY hidden beneath their outward personality, waiting to be revealed. As a professional photographer, you look closely, recognize it, and want to share it with the person and a wider audience. From the moment I met Marlo, there was a uniqueness about her quiet disposition that intrigued me, and I felt the need to have a portrait session with her. Initially, she resisted and declined my request, but as our friendship grew and I encouraged the idea again, she finally relented. The following images prove that I was correct in my assessment of her attractiveness both outwardly and inwardly. This was a fun portrait session for her and Penny, one of her trusted dogs.
