New York Bound... (Detroit, Michigan, Model Photographer)

I recently met up with a beautiful 19 year old model, Erika G, who was a contest winner of mine last month. She is a local model represented by a few Michigan Modeling Agencies and needed to update her portfolio before she headed out to New York next week. She won a mini-session- but when I showed up to meet her I knew a mini session was just "not gonna cut it" LOL. First of all, her wonderful Mom was there ready to do make-up (on location) with cases of products and Erika had a TON of outfits to sift through.

We did lots of updated head shots because they were requested by her agencies. And a few outfit swaps for fun. Plus we hit a couple of locations. And ...you can begin to see why the standard 30 minute mini-session with 7-12 image norm was gonna get walked all over. LOL. Close to 2 hours later we were done.

The first set of images were taken with her wearing the skinny jean/layered jacket combo that we had originally planned on shooting her in and was meant to represent a casual sort of commercial clothing catalog look. They were captured at one of my most favorite Historic Villages - And she actually smiled once ;)


And then we moved on. Here is the fun/edgy/graffiti location we visited. I know it is TOTALLY opposite of the first set- but that is how we wanted it. Lots of variety. And, oh- would you even believe me if I told you she was wearing her Grandma's dress? Well, she is. Yep, I am 100 percent serious. It was grandma's- then Mom's- and now hers. How hott of a family can one have? OMG. LOL. So, I did some funky/dramatic editing on these as sort of a family tradition ;)



Yes, Facebook friends... this IS where that giant spider made himself know. LOL. ;)





And here are quite a few more updated comp card head shots. She is wearing the standard black V. The first is my fav but, I mean, she can't really go wrong...




Pure beauty.... seriously... see what I mean????


I just LOVED working with you Erika + Mom. And thanks, Stephanie for sending them my way. I cannot wait to work with your family more. SOOOOO much fun and full of beauty - call me when you need anything at all.
