MHP Session: My Fierce Fashionista

You might remember Joci’s pretty face from a while back! She and her sister (whom I nicknamed the Fierce Sisters)  were one of my first clients and so much fun to photograph. It’s been over a year since I last saw her and I just couldn’t believe the beautiful young lady she has blossomed into! And what’s even more sweet is that of all the things she could have asked for her 13th birthday, she chose to have another Mad Hearts session as her gift. So of course we had to make this the best birthday present EVER! We traded in the open fields for a metropolitan setting in the Lower East Side and SOHO areas of  NYC -   ideal for this budding fashionista. Everywhere we went,  she lit up the streets with her gorgeous smile causing several passerbyers to stop and admire.  She’s definitely a show stopper! Just take a look….

Quick Tip // Location Inspiration Close to Home

I will gladly scout picturesque locations for a session, but I absolutely love when client’s choose to have their photos taken in a place that is special to them – as was the case for Denise’s portrait session. She chose to have her session all around the East Village and the downtown areas of NYC where she grew up.  We stopped by her elementary school, local park, eateries – like Jack’s Stir Brew - as well as some other memory filled neighborhood spots. It was quite the adventure for us both: she revisited her old favorites and I discovered some new ones!

{Behind The Scenes} The Chestnut Hill Photo Shoot

I have my friend Scarlett of House of Emery to thank for these behind the scenes photos of the Chestnut Hill photo shoot. I was so engrossed in taking pictures that I had no idea Scarlett and her daughter Keana were taking all these shots…ahhhh!. I literally rolled out of bed, threw on whatever I could find and ran out of the house in time for the shoot. So picture ready I was not.  But I do love these photos because they capture everything that goes into getting the “perfect” shot.
