Straight out of Camera
Sometimes, it’s okay to share images that are straight out off camera, images. These were created during a using Jerry Ghionis westcottlighting - icelights. Two light parallel to each subject.
You don’t have to make a huge production in your creations, step outside your door into the hallway and create 😊.

When I started editing your images Brooke, they felt more powerful in black and white. We really see your personality come through. I’m so happy that I coached you minimally because in the discomfort of having a camera pointed at you in many different directions, you shine through! Thank you for letting me into your space and allowing me to create these beautiful images of you.
Special thanks to for sharing you knowledge, for loaning us the gear to play and for providing the space and lights that we got to play with. I loved every minute!!!!

Meet Gus!
Someone in our building has the cutest pug! He’s name is Gus! He was so cool and poised. What a joy to run into to him and invite him for some 6 month memory shots!
Taking portraits of dogs is like photographing humans. They too have personalities and essence.
