A couple weeks ago, I had the pleasure of assisting a beautiful and talented young lady in starting her modeling portfolio for a ProScout Interview. For a young girl, she has sooo much talent and I know she’ll go far! Already at such a young age, she has aspirations of becoming an actress and her parents are very supportive, which I think is awesome! 
We did a variety of poses, both indoors and outdoors, with studio and natural lighting…full lengths and closeups and in-between. We wanted to achieve as many different looks as we could in one session to start off her portfolio. Here are some of the pics from her model comp shoot:
This was the first pic from the session! I took it real quick as a test shot to test my settings and it ended up being one of her mom’s favorites.
Another close-up, with all natural light and a reflector. (Her mom caught on pretty quick when I showed her how to hold the reflector…I might have to enlist her as an assistant! haha)
A few more natural light portraits. We used the reflector again, to direct this beautiful window light.
This one is one of my favs!
Looooove the fur hood on her coat. Her mom and I taught her to “smile with her eyes”…I think she’s doing quite well! She picked it up quick!
We just HAD to include her ADORABLE puppy in one! Isn’t he the cutest?! (More on him later hehe)
We braved the cold outside to get a few full length shots. I love the architecture of the Grand Opera House…
Across the street for another look….
We like hats.
To avoid the “rosy cheek syndrome” from being out in the cold, we headed back inside to play with some studio lighting, for the remainder of the shoot. We were shooting in her mom’s empty office building (on the weekend) and I found this room with most amazing blue walls! Yay! **Let this be a lesson to the rest of my clients to think creatively when choosing a location for your sessions!
I am so torn on this particular setup….I LOVE them in color because of the vibrant blues, but the B&W’s are so rich and beautiful! I love them both!
Her hair looks pretty cool in this sloppy bun-thing that she does…
We went into a local clothing shop down the street and bought this denim jacket….worked out well!
On to another spot with a little bit different lighting….
I like this angle…very flattering on her.
Another semi-full length…
I have to add a few of this amazingly adorable little puppy! He’s a pekingese and chihuahua mix…..check out his hoodie! How awesome is that?! LOL
His name is Flounder and I think I’m in L-O-V-E.
I can’t help by smile when I look at him! He’s just so precious!
Hehe….too cute.
**SPECIAL REPORT: Out of about 1000 entrants at ProScout yesterday, only 87 were asked to return today….Guess who was one of them?! Yep! 5 Agencies showed interest in her at today’s interview. Exciting! When the day comes and you see her on TV, just remember you saw her here first! 
haha
She is now brace-free so we’ll be doing another shoot shortly….stay tuned!
