After spending the afternoon doing headshots for Malynda’s upcoming CD release, we spent the evening at a more casual pace doing portraits of her family as well as maternity photos.  It made for a fun day in that I had the opportunity to try out so many different feels, backgrounds, and lighting techniques all in the same shoot – from “fashiony” headshots, to capturing her boys bounding around the studio, to creating a moody feel for the maternity shots.  One of the more interesting challenges was making the transition from avoiding Malynda’s belly at the start of the day to making the belly the central focus of the images by the end.  What was also remarkable was how well Malynda – being 7+ months pregnant – pulled off the entire shoot.  Some faves from Part II:

Malynda Zacharias is a local singer/songwriter who, after many years as the driving force behind Beautiful Unique Girl, is now getting ready to get back into the studio.  As part of an all-day shoot, we spent the first half taking head shots for her upcoming promo material.  Armed with a plethora of outfits, we split our time between the studio and the great atmosphere and background of Aqua Books (thanks to Kelly for letting us use his space!).  A quick sample of some of my faves:
