November 30, 2008 Glamour

I like the soft sensual feeling to the light.

Amanda Up Close

November 23, 2008 Portrait/Headshot

Sometimes you see an image and just say “Freeze”. This happen here. I was shooting in the doorway to our studio. There is a set of steps leading up from the door, and I often have models sit on the steps for a head shot.
