JENDEN (Round 2)

Some of you will remember that early last month, I photographed Jennah Denney. We set up a two-part shoot that day: head shots for a portfolio website then and senior portraits later in fall. Last week, we decided the time was right to knock out that second session.

Jennah has an interest in fashion, an epiphany for "the hustle" of retail and a strongarm of public relations skills. I was seeking something that captured her attitude, sass and sophistication. We drove to downtown Little Rock. I wanted a contrast between her polished aesthetic and the jagged edges of the city.

Her personality is metropolitan and her presence is busy. I wanted to capture her in a way that showcased her softer side, while maintaining sense of refined taste.

Shelby Nichols

I always enjoy getting to photograph my friends. Shelby was no exception. I've been friends with her for just over two years.

Two-light setup at Petit Jean State Park in Arkansas.

Brandon Eidson

Brandon plays acoustic music at a few local venues in Conway. When he contacted me and asked me to take photos of him with his Taylor guitar in a natural landscape, I immediately agreed. He hoped the images would be able to help establish him as a musician and add a professional finish to his profile as an artist.

I took him out to Emerald Park in Little Rock (which some may recognize from earlier blog posts), set up the octobox next to a few speedlites and shot until the sun set.

Normally, I play music through my cell phone during shoots. I tend to bring a lot of lighting equipment on location, which means my sessions contain short bouts of downtime while I build a modifier or fine-tune my strobes. I'll play alternative rock, hip-hop or electronic music, depending on my client. This time, the role was reversed; Brandon punctuated the pauses in our photo shoot with plucks on his guitar.

I hope I see these photos on a promotional flyer soon. Brandon is a talented dude and a great guy. It's fun to see his eyes perk up when he talks about the passion he has for his music.

Sunflower Fields Forever

We went to a pumpkin patch and sunflower field, so cliche pictures ensued.
