My latest rural land real estatedrone video and photo shoot assignment had me going to not so far away Sedillo, New Mexico for Hemingway Land Company. Not only was this the closest I have traveled for a rural land shoot, it was also one of the only times a paved road went right up to the property! This was a very nice subdivision that you would never know is there because it is hidden in a valley and then winds up to a ridge. You can get a sense of this topography in the drone video above and the aerial drone photos below.
Brandon called me up to talk about having headshots made for his budding acting career. I was very flattered to learn he would be coming all the way from Colorado and chose me out of all headshot photographers in Albuquerque! He wanted a proper, full-on headshot shoot with a MUA (makeup artist) present and multiple outfit changes. This is the kind of headshot shoot I will be doing more as I want to offer clients a high end experience like you get in New York or L.A. right here in Albuquerque.
I met Lisa at a BNI networking event some weeks ago where we first discussed making new headshots for her. Like many people that I photograph, she was normally not thrilled to have her photo taken. She even said she'd rather be at the dentist that morning than at the JCP Home Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico for her professional business headshot photo shoot!
You might know Sue of Rapid Supply if you are active at all in the Albuquerque, New Mexico networking scene, and thus recognize her from her headshot photo shoot here at the JCP Home Studio. She needed updated headshots and came with her dog, Sandia, for a late afternoon headshot session. I know many people work regular business hours so having my own Home Studio here in Albuquerque allows me to accommodate any client schedule.
If you think a headshot photoshoot means you have to wear stuffy clothes, and stand in stuff poses, and have a forced smile, then take a look at these creative and free-spirited headshots with Mariluz! I did not have to say anything, she did everything! When you get someone like this in front of your lens, it is a rare treat for a photographer. The fantastic photos just come out one after the other as they did during our headshot photo shoot here at the JCP Home Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She even helped with her friend's headshot photo shoot before hers coaching her!
I first met Cheryl at a special event where I had a table displaying my photo and drone work. She won a door prize at the event! Afterward, she came by my table and we talked about making new headshots for her. Being a good networking and business person, I followed up with her a few times and I was happy when she made her appointment to visit the JCP Home Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico for a professional headshot photo session!
I visited Deer Canyon Preserve near Mountainair, New Mexico two times in four days on rural land photography assignments. This video is a compilation of flying my DJI Mavic Prodrone both evenings. This is a private, gated community that has its own hiking and horse trails.
