Marlene Atelier

September has arrived and as I mentioned in my earlier posts I am going to be one busy photographer. Tomorrow I’ll have the pleasure of working with Marlene Frank, a Chicago based business woman who makes custom-tailored professional women’s wear. During my shoot I’ll be posting some fun behind-the-scenes pictures and create a blog post about the days events and what it was like working with an independent entrepreneur.

Free at the beach!

Reminiscing of great times in the summer, this shoot captures the feeling perfectly.  Free and fun at the beach.  I took a few girls out and just gave them a little direction and really worked on just capturing what happened.  It was me and my camera and 3 girls and some props.  We had great fun and captured some simple shots.  I ran into one of the girls this week and she asked if we could go out and do it again. I thought that was a true testament to a happy shoot!

Gaining Momentum

As summer draws to a close I’ve been reflecting on the recent months and look towards the following year with great anticipation.

                                   

  Saying goodbye to summer, I can't gain momentum in a sandal

Over the past few months “what am I doing for the future?” has been moving through my mind. This is not a question demanding an answer, it’s a question that demands action. Beginning in September I'll have two days a week that will remain ‘free’ for clients, an intern aiding me with a variety of tasks and a month of booked shoots.
