DC Editorial Portrait Session// Photo Therapy
Meet Dawn, she wanted something different for her husbands birthday this year. She is a mother of three boys, and possibly one of the most down to earth people I have met in a long time. Let's give her a round of applause for stepping outside of her comfort zone! I am happy to say, he was NOT disappointed. xo
love in the fields
With an engagement and a baby on the way, I had lovebirds Kathryn & Steven run around on what might be the hottest day of the year (it was around 100 degrees, yikes!) did they complain-- nope! They are going to make fantastic parents and I can't wait to meet the little one! Here is a short video of our shoot. xo
what is 'photo therapy'?
Have you ever wanted to step outside your comfort zone, feel good about yourself, feel proud, be more confidant, be pampered, be a model for a day, show off? Well if you have ever wanted any of those things than Photo Therapy is for you.
Lucia's Photo Therapy shoot. She wanted it to involve her horse Coosa, we gave her a glam look and also a relaxed laid back sexy vibe.
It is a day to feel good about yourself and build confidence in a secure and fun environment. I receive all kinds of request, from divorcees wanting to feel sexy again and get back in the game, they are entering a new chapter in their lives and want to reflect the happier new version of themselves. I get women who are self conscious and need a little pick me up. I get woman that want to do something for their significant other. I also get woman that are proud of their body and all the hard workouts and want to show it off! But whatever your reason is for doing Photo Therapy you can't deny the way it makes you feel...GOOD! That's why it's called therapy.
Getting Lucia ready for her second look...
So let me take you through a little background on how the session goes. We start off with a couple emails or a phone conversation on what you dream of doing- wether it be channeling Beyonce in a shoot or rinding a horse in an evening gown it can be done. I tailor a shoot with your thoughts in mind and create a custom photo shoot editorial. Equipped with hair stylist, make-up artist and a styled wardrobe fit for your shoot. Thats right... I shop for you and pull clothing from some of my favorite shops and my own collection. ;) Basically you're walking into your own photo shoot like a celebrity would- only I am your photographer with an amazing supportive team of creative artist to make you look and feel your best. Not to mention I will entertain you the whole time with my slew of accents that just happen to pop out of my mouth at any given moment ( I can go from Irish to Jamaican in one breath ).
So If you like to be entertained, have fun, play dress up and get some amazing images to show off. Than 'Photo Therapy' is for you. Look forward to shooting and hanging out with you!! xox
We saw a field on the way home, so of course we stopped and played around.
That's a wrap!
Lucia's words......What happens when you combine confidence, beauty, fashion and a camera? Photo Therapy with Dominique Fierro. My Photo Therapy session with Dominique was an amazing experience. Dominique styled me from head to toe and planned my hair and make-up look with the hair and make-up artist she brought to the shoot, Abigail de Casanova. I was transformed and felt amazing. The entire day was fun and natural. I’ve never felt so good about myself. The photos were stunning. It is an experience I will always treasure.- Lucia
in the blue room sessions
So, I was lucky enough to get these lovely ladies in front of my lens and I donated a portion to the non-profit PROJECT SOAR. Look good. Do good. What's not to love? Did I forget to mention that all the woman just happened to be gorgeous! Here are a few images from my sessions with them.
Thank you to my good friend who also just happens to be one of the best hair stylist and make-up artist in the D.C. area, Abigail De Casanova. And the fantastic boutique Ella-Rue in Georgetown for providing some of the clothes. xoxo
