Kids Headshots in Michigan Kids are great.  It’s a wonderful change of pace at the studio.  I had two young sisters (about seven and nine) today and it was interesting to watch the younger sister study the older.  The girls were having a great day, having their hair done then going to lunch with mom.

Michigan Comp Card Photographers Mary DuPrie I’ve been a model photographer mostly with an occasional commercial job thrown in.  The problem with that scenario is that your livelihood is in the hands of just a few people.  If those people move on for whatever reasons or you fall out of favor you’re screwed.  The agency […]

Children’s Headshots

August 17, 2010

Childrens Headshots in Michigan I had a phone call last week from a potential client asking  if I photographed children…hummm.  It made me take a look at my website with a critical eye towards children.  I only had one image of a child.  I can definitely see why she asked.

Wow, I’m watching the new reality show Double Exposure while I’m writing this post.  I’m glad I don’t shoot with a partner.  Why they do it I don’t know.  They seem to bitch and argue constantly, it’s draining just to listen to.  It seems everyone puts up with it because they produce beautiful work, but […]
