In the hustle and bustle of life, finding a moment for self-love is like discovering a hidden gem in the city. Recently, I had the absolute joy of capturing a portrait session for Ashley, a soul who decided it was high time to sprinkle a little love on herself.

The Vision

Picture this: a crisp white backdrop, Ashley standing confidently, topless but tastefully adorned with roses. She rocked her go-to American Eagle jeans—because what’s self-love without a touch of personal flair? This setup was all about celebrating vulnerability, strength, and the pure essence of self-love.

Lighting the Moment

To bottle up the myriad expressions and vibes Ashley wanted to share, I played with the lighting like a DJ spins tracks. From a three-light extravaganza to the intimacy of a single spotlight, each setup brought out different facets of her beauty and emotions.

A Fun Challenge

Here’s a little behind-the-scenes scoop: during our in-session review, Ashley fell head over heels for so many shots that she starred almost everything. When it came time to make final selections, she was delightfully overwhelmed. It was like trying to pick a favorite song from your ultimate playlist!

The Dream Team

Shoutout to Chanya of Adore Faces, my go-to makeup maven for these portrait sessions. Chanya’s magic touch highlighted Ashley’s natural glow, making her feel as radiant on the outside as she is on the inside.

The Cherry on Top

Ashley left with a heart full of joy and a review that made my day:

“Amazing photo shoot! Jay was so fun and personal! I gave him my ideas and he brought them to life for sure! I was so happy and comfortable! Stop looking and book! Great service, great location, makeup artist available if needed, great prices and just all around GREAT!”

Capturing moments like Ashley’s self-love celebration is what makes this gig the best in the world. It’s more than just snapping photos; it’s about helping people see their own unique sparkle. If you’re dreaming of a portrait session that’s as unforgettable as you are, hit me up. Let’s create some magic together.

Best,
