Natasha's Songwriter Portraits • Downs Park, Maryland

I saw Natasha (Baby T to her friends) in a crowded movie theater this summer with a gaggle of her students and her style & personality just popped out of the background.  I stared in awe at her amazingly intricate, colorful hair and thought, "I think I need to photograph this girl...".  Then she turned around to laugh at a student's joke and I knew that I HAD to take her portraits!

To my delight, it turned out Natasha was about to embark on an exciting songwriting tour of America and was in need of headshots.  "You gotta do this, Miss T!"  Her students urged - so we had a wonderfully creative (if stickily hot) shoot at Downs Park in Pasadena, Maryland.

Check out her website, I Define Happy (The Songwriting Tour) to learn more about this awesome young woman!

Katie : Annapolis Actress Headshot Photography

I loved taking Katie's new headshots this past Wednesday - she was a little nervous because while she's a talented actress, she doesn't like being in front of a camera lense! 

My favorite thing to do in this sort of situation is to start a conversation, make the client laugh - and hopefully make her forget that I am shooting pictures the whole time.  :)  Katie's doggy "niece" helped us out as well!  You can always count on a sweet little puppy to set a good mood for a shoot.

PS - Thanks to Katie and her fiancee Brett for the delicious dinner - the perks of shooting right before dusk in a client's backyard! ;)
