I shot this because I was inspired by a photo of Marlene Dietrich. I like the clean lines and black and white is a favorite for me.
I am not one to usually post a Year End Favorite Photos kind of blog. Choosing favorites is like choosing a favorite child. But I think we can all agree that 2020 was anything but usual. So here are a few of my 2020 Favorite Photos and why:
This is a simple bridal boudoir photo from a shoot with Saratoga Bride at the Hilton in town. Again, I love the simplicity. HMUA: Lipstick N Lashes | Lingerie: Chic UnderneathThis was a Prom Shoot I did at Hangar 743/Warbird in Albany right before we descended into lockdown due to Covid. I love all these girls. Dresses: Danielle’s Bridal | HMUA: Lipstick N LashesGetting Ready is transformational. I like this because the composition is unusual.Babies always give me a sense of hope. They are so perfect.When downtown reopened, I did a few photos for fellow business owners. I love this one of Pam at Spoken.I also like this one of Kimberly at Pink Paddock.Candid and fun. Let’s not over analyze. LOL.So fun–Editorial for Saratoga Bride with a fabulous jumpsuit by Justin Alexander available at Ferri Formals.Totally candid–This wedding photo was taken during a quiet moment before the ceremony. I love when things spontaneously happen.Love when a group photo looks this good. It is important for every single person in a group to look good, even when it is kind of candid.This is literally a spot on the side of the road. This year forced me to find out of the way spots and it was great.Love the colors and tones in this.I had a ton of favorites from this session–can’t choose.The eyes have it.This was a Senior Session, but we shot it like a fashion editorial.Would you believe this was in a parking lot?Just a good basic portrait–posing, lighting, color harmony.Personal Branding Photography–very important.Thinking outside the box for Senior Portraits. Loved that we found this car.Love the way they are looking at each other.Just cute because of his expression.From a boudoir session in Troy–I loved her Marilyn Monroe look.Color Harmony–I talk about it all the time.So many favorites from this wedding, but I really love the lighting and posing in this one.So I love this because of the expression–and the car. And this is one of my friends.I love photographing a bride on the way to the wedding ceremony. this was special because it was a very intimate wedding.My very favorite outtake from this year. I also loved the styling on this session. It was very Ralph Lauren.What a sweet little baby girl.This couple was really fun to photograph because they were super comfortable in front of the camera.
So these are just a handful of some of my 2020 Favorite Photos. Like I said, choosing favorites is like choosing a favorite kid. It is really subjective and I am sure I have left many out of this mix.
