As a photographer, I am hired for many different types of photo needs. Weddings, family pictures, engagement pictures, and senior pictures are my typical bookings, but with a city full of talented people, I sometimes get hired to capture acting headshots and portfolio pictures. As an actress myself, I have been in front of the camera for these types of pictures many times.

In Lexington, we have a great children’s arts academy, InnOvation. They teach acting, dance, and voice lessons, have summer camps, put on theatrical shows of their own, and even giving kids the chance to compete in competitions, like JTF. Mary Joy, who is the leader of InnOvation, asked me a few years ago if I was interested in taking headshots for a group of her students. I asked a few more questions and found out that each student only needed a couple of headshots, which would be a much quicker shoot.

Sometimes You Just Need New Photos

I had worked with Kenny on a short film, Tick, before he had mentioned to me that he needed new pictures. Because we already had a new friendship, it was pretty easy to get some fun shots on the day of his session.

He had mentioned that he wanted a headshot, so we made sure to get some close up shots.

I asked if he wanted/needed any other types of pictures, and he said that he would love to try some creative full body shots. We went to the park next to the place I lived at the time and used the resources we could find to make some interesting shots. The curve of the trees, benches we found, and even railroad tracks were used.
