When Photographers Have Their Own Photo Session

Normally, photographers prefer to stay behind the camera. But occasionally, the call for updated website headshots and new facebook profile pics lures them out from behind their big fancy lenses to get a taste of their own medicine.

Actually, I think getting your photo taken can be therapeutic. For a few hours, you can feel like a model, have random cars honk at you from the street, and receive ego-boosting feedback like “You look perfect! Stand just like that…yes! Beautiful! Oh that light is lovely!” Honestly, taking the time to take someone’s photograph is a way to honor them as a person. That’s something I’ve come to realize more and more in my own work and why I strive to photograph guests as well as the bride and groom.

But I digress. Last year, my fellow photographer friends Milla and Caryn and I had a mini photo-session while we were in Las Vegas for WPPI. This year Milla and I won’t be making it to WPPI, so we staged a session here in the lovely ‘Burgh. I’m so thankful for great friends like these two ladies!

Lindsay Pierce - How fun! I love the 12th one down, where she is squatting on the rail, no camera. It’s perfect. And the shot of the two of them standing on the rail photographing each other is awesome!

Milla - Yes we do, joey. When you get back in March, come out with us! Mary… awesome job. I absolutely love these.

joey kennedy - Ha ha, these are really cute. I love the bridge shots, you girls just have fun don’t you : )
