p.1 #1 · Keona {My 1st Session of 2013}

Okay, so it was a headshot session. Keona and her sister are involved in dance and needed updated headshots (I am not sure why they need headshots for dance but I am happy to oblige...lol). I've been working with this family since 2009 and have shot their portraits several times over the years. Keona is *always* fun to shoot. She is such a fun character and absolutely gorgeous, which no photographer would ever complain about.

The temps were literally below freezing so we had to make it quick, but I am happy with the variety we got...wanted to share a few favorites. I have NO idea how she remained so composed when it was FREEZING out, but I'm glad that she did. lol These were all shot with natural light. I used the 85L on all but the last 3 images, in which I used my 70-200L II.

Dancers need headshots for the same reason that actors do, to book jobs. For that reason, a typical headshot for a dancer will not be an environmental portrait (as nice as these are, as always). So images 7 and 8 wouldn't normally be used for that purpose, but it appears that you already realize that.

Beautiful work Lisa as always. Cant say if I like the b/w better than the color shots as they are both well edited.
