This is SMG newcomer Mark Manio. After a few complications with locating the key to the studio and driving around the city, running into the Westin Hotel and barging into another photo shoot to retrieve it, I got to the studio and started taking Marks shots for his portfolio. Mark is really a natural and was very good at taking direction. He was willing to try many different looks and poses, even jumping many times to get a cool jumping shot. It was fun working with him, and we were able to get him some really great shots for his portfolio.

Rebecca Blume is another model from SMG who I had a short photo shoot with right after Rachel Luoto’s shoot. She met me at the studio with her hair and makeup already done, (makeup by Melissa Korn and hair by Carson at Gene Juarez) and already styled so it was a very quick, effortless process. I had a dress from Rachel’s shoot that we hadn’t used so I had her try it on and we did a second look for her as well. Two successful shoots in one night.

More test shoots! When I got home for winter break after being in Greece and Turkey all of fall semester, I was anxious to get ahold of Mcklyn and start up some more photo shoots. Elle was the first model from SMG to contact me about doing a test this break, and I was able to have the amazing Jamyrlyn Mallory Wright come along as a hair and makeup artist. Pretty much everything that could have gone wrong did go wrong on this shoot. I drove to SMG before heading to the studio to pick up the key and the wireless trigger for shooting. I arrived there at 4:30 to pick it up and meet the girls at the studio at 5. However because Mcklyn was in a meeting that ran late I ended up getting out of SMG at about 5:15. I notified Elle and Jamyrlyn that I was going to be late, and made my way through dense traffic over to the studio. Of course, I hadn’t been to the studio for a few months and I ended up getting lost on the way there. By the time I got there, it was about 5:40. I finally arrived, introduced myself, and began setting up the lights while Elle was getting her makeup for the first look done. As I was testing out the wireless trigger, I realized that it wasn’t working and didn’t know why, so I called Mcklyn. After trying multiple different things to fix it with him on the phone, he told me he’d stop by and see what was wrong, but that it would be a while before he could get there. He arrived at about 7:30 and tried to fix the trigger with no luck. I then borrowed his personal camera which had a plug in for a cord that connected to the light. We were able to start the shoot! The cord for the light was a little finicky but it worked, and although we were all tired, and Elle wasn’t feeling 100%, we were able to pull through and get some of my favorite photos I’ve taken. We left the studio at 12:30 that night, such a long, stressful, and tiring shoot, but well worth it! Thanks Elle and Jamyrlyn!

The other day I had a photo shoot with the amazing Rachel Luoto from SMG. I was really inspired by Carey Mulligan’s photos in the most recent W Magazine that I saw. I tried to recreate some of those looks, and got some clothes for the shoot that I felt gave a twiggy, old hollywood vibe. Rachel was a great model and Jamyrlyn Wright Mallory did an amazing job with the hair and makeup again. During the shoot I got a call from Mcklyn who asked if I would be able to shoot another model after I was finished with Rachel, and to just take a few beauty shots for her so I told him I could. Rebecca came right as we were finished up Rachel’s shoot and we spent about 30 minutes taking some great beauty shots for her.

Gabrielle Morales was my third shoot of the break. She, her mom, and her friend traveled over the mountains to get to Seattle for the weekend to shoot with me. I had some picture inspirations ready for them to see and base some of our pictures off of (something I’ve found to be very helpful for planning my shoots! I love using ideas I see in fashion spread and editorials and making them my own, it gives me something to base the shoots off of). We started taking pictures in my dad’s company’s apartment building, 1521, in downtown Seattle. Then we headed over to the studio and took some more natural shots. One thing that Mcklyn really wanted from this shoot was some natural shots with different types of expressions, so I really worked with Gabrielle to get her to loosen up and feel more free in front of the camera. I was able to get a smile! And a bad ass pouty face! (as well as many other expressions). She did such a great job, and was really easy to direct. The other great thing about this shoot was that NOTHING went wrong! I was so happy that everything went smoothly and according to plan, as it should be!

We started taking pictures in my dad’s company’s apartment building, 1521, in downtown Seattle. Then we headed over to the studio and took some more natural shots. One thing that Mcklyn really wanted from this shoot was some natural shots with different types of expressions, so I really worked with Gabrielle to get her to loosen up and feel more free in front of the camera. I was able to get a smile! And a bad ass pouty face! (as well as many other expressions). She did such a great job, and was really easy to direct. The other great thing about this shoot was that NOTHING went wrong! I was so happy that everything went smoothly and according to plan, as it should be!

Gabrielle Morales was my third shoot of the break. She, her mom, and her friend traveled over the mountains to get to Seattle for the weekend to shoot with me.

Ryan Johnson from SMG was my next test shoot of winter break. We were supposed to meet at 5pm, which we did, however we did not start shooting until about 6:15. Again, my bad luck continued. As I tried to open the door to the studio, the key would not budge. I tried it more times than I can count, but nothing I did would work. Embarrassed by my inability to use a key, I apologized to Ryan and we talked and got to know each other while we waited for Mcklyn to stop by yet again and help me. I tried multiple times to open the door again while we waited, but still nothing would work. Thankfully Ryan was really easy going and wasn’t upset about it. Despite my failed attempts I decided to try one more time to unlock the door. I was just playing around with the key, knowing that it wouldn’t do anything when finally, it clicked. So embarrassing. “Well….now we can get started!” I said to Ryan, and we headed inside and began to get ready. Mcklyn stopped by anyway to check the lock and fix the trigger so I was able to use my own camera to take the shots. It was an extremely quick shoot and we were able to get out of the studio by about 7:15, which is when we were planning on being done anyway. This shoot was the first time I used the white background too, which turned out really nice on some of his head shots.

These are a few more Senior Portraits I took while back in Illinois at college. These are not high school seniors, but college seniors. For these I just used my zoom lens and manual setting and didn’t do too much in the way of editing (as usual) other than boosting the colors a bit and adding black and white to a few and a warming filter to Amy’s. For booking a senior portrait session with me, email me at andrew.parsons@principia.edu.

Mackenzie Altig was one of my first Senior Portrait sessions. She picked out three to four outfits and we spent a few hours taking pictures in different places around their house. It was really fun using my 50mm 1:1.4 lens that my dad got me in order to get a more dramatic depth of field, as well as my reflector to get that really warm glow on her face. After doing this shoot I realized that I really love taking senior pictures! It was so fun getting to capture her personality through these pictures and give her a variety of different looks that she can keep forever and share with friends and family. If anyone is looking to get senior portraits done you can email me at andrew.parsons@principia.edu.
