It was a complete privilege to take photos of this amazing sister of mine! Okay, we’re cousins… but both of us don’t have blood sisters so we consider ourselves blessed enough to have each other growing up! Hannah is quirky, fun, hilarious, and in all sense of the word...BEAUTIFUL. We had a lot of fun experimenting with the light in the Station Studio located in River Heights, Utah for this portrait session. I think you will agree with me, these images turned out so pretty.
During solo portrait sessions I do my best to help the person forget that there is a camera in their face. We put on some music and hang out. Sometimes there is dancing, or singing… but mostly just the two of us chatting and getting to know each other.
The majority of people don’t love having their photos taken especially if they are the only subject. I definitely fit in that category! That is why I do everything imaginable to break the ice and make you feel comfortable and confident!
You can see that we had a lot of fun as we experimented with light and movement to create artistic images. I truly love how Hannah’s vibrant personality shines through these images, illustrating who she is inside and out!
There are several reasons to have your own personal portraits taken. Not only do you need a photo or two for special occasions like a graduation announcement or a new about page as you embarking on a business adventure. You need good portraits of yourself for your posterity!
Not to be a Debbie-Downer, but as I was gathering photos for my grandmother’s funeral I realized how important it is to have nice portraits taken throughout your life not just during the big events. Unfortunately my grandmother didn’t have very many decent photographs of herself in her golden years. Long story short, it would have been nice for us grandchildren to have a nice image of this beautiful grandmother of ours in the era we knew her best. So do your parents, children, grandchildren a favor and get in front of the camera regularly!
