Marilyn: Houston model photographer

Marilyn is a young lady I shot last week.  She arranged for the hairstylist, Billy, and I to meet her near dowtown at her mother's place of business.  Her hair was in curls when I first arrived, and we discussed what she would be wearing and what her objectives were for the shoot while Billy teased and set her locks.

Marilyn needed some updated headshots for the photogenic portion of her pageant competitions, so that was our primary goal.  I applied her makeup and we were off!

Check out Billy at http://www.onsitehairdesign.webs.com/, and keep up with Marilyn on Youtube.com/user/mtertainments.

She wins my vote for "most photogenic!"

Hah!  She completely played up this little-girl-do!

Whip your hair: Houston model photographer

So, Dezarae humored me with another shoot.

I entitle this one: "Whip your hair" (for obvious reasons).  The goal was to get as much focus on Dezarae's face while still catching the movement of her hair.  I wanted the hair to be blurry to showcase the movement, but Dez's face to be in focus... so we could see her pretty mug.  :)  ..It proved to be a bit of a challenge- despite how fun it was.

(I think next time I will add a flash and sacrifice some movement for a stagnant, clear shot)

After looking at the images, I realized just how many times Dez had to whip her hair- I'm not really sure how she didn't develop a case of whip lash after this shoot!  What a trooper.

My single favorite shot of the collection-

How amazingly serene does she look here?
