This might be my favorite shoot so far! I was super excited for 2 reasons:

I rented a lens to test out for this session - the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4G Lens.
My friend Kwinton brought 👏 it👏!

First off, I really enjoyed this lens. It was my first time using a 50mm prime lens and my first time renting. It was sharp, let in beautiful light on a gloomy day, and paired with my crop-framed camera, it provided portraits with a creamy, out-of-focus background and plenty of bokeh. I may do a proper review of it on another post.

Back to my awesome model: Kwinton kept his wardrobe a secret, so I was pleasantly surprised when he arrived in this killer blue suit with a pop of red. I was worried about the dreary weather we were facing, but this suit was a beautiful contrast to the dull, gloomy day.

We hit several locations this afternoon, starting at Jones Hall, then walking around the downtown, stopping wherever we felt inspired. It was a fun, easy-going session and I am thrilled with the results!

Whether you want photos for graduation, maternity, model portfolio or “just because”, treat yourself to a creative portrait session with me.
