It started off as a quick update for a few co-workers and turned into 20 people, backdrops and a full day of shooting. But I’m so glad it did. Contemporary professional portraits is a natural extension of family portraiture. For me it’s a nice change of pace where I can play with more dramatic lighting options with subjects that generally have more patience and take direction better than toddlers (although, I have to work on a new joke routine since booger jokes don’t generally elicit the same response in adults as it does kids).
