3 Cities 3 Law Offices for Headshots in New Mexico
In one week I traveled over 600 miles across New Mexico to make headshots of all three offices for Noble Law Firm. I started with the furthest first, going all the way down to Las Cruces (3 hours away), which as it were, had the smallest staff! Then the very next day I went up to Santa Fe (1 hour away) to make that locations’s headshots. The last office was the closest, right here in Albuquerque, where I not only made headshots, but also candids of the lawyers in action.
Coralee has been both a networking friend and a client for a long time here in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Recently she gave me a great referral to photograph a hotel recently bought by one of her clients, as she is a commercial real estate broker. As a thank you to Coralee, I invited her to come to the JCP Home Studio for a complimentary headshot session. I really appreciate referrals, so I was glad to be able to make these great headshots for Coralee. Thank you Coralee for thinking of me!
It was a sort of homecoming for me to photograph AMG Speciality Hospital in southeast Albuquerque, New Mexico as I lived essentially next door to it for two years. New photos were wanted of both the interiors and exterior of the hospital, plus I was told, anything I thought would make a good photo, like the photo of the get well cards below. Only up on the third floor, the view of the Sandia Mountains was eye popping coming out of the elevator! In a side note, as I arrived going up in the elevator with me was a woman also going to the third floor. Some 2+ hours later as I was carrying all my photo gear now packed up back to the elevator having finished the shoot, there was the same woman! We both remarked how statistically improbable that was! That kind of thing fascinates me!
Anyone that has met Jessica knows she is a pretty huge The Nightmare Before Christmas fan. I could not even tell you the number of Nightmare themed items she owns, it has to be over 200! She often dresses up as Sally from the movie, and it just so happened that I already had a white seamless background setup from an earlier shoot as she was getting ready to go to a Halloween in August party (seems mighty close to actual Halloween, but that’s just me!) so that allowed for a quick cosplay photo shoot before she left! Jessica posed to retreat a few of Sally’s actual poses from the movie after having done her own makeup and donning her Sally dress. I think she looks great, but I may be biased!
Thanks to a great referral from networking friend Coralee (she sells commercial real estate), I had the opportunity to photograph the San Mateo Inn which is under new management and in the process of improving its branding and marketing, the first step was getting professional commercial photographs of the interior and exterior of the hotel. It is my custom whenever possible to start with the exteriors, because you never know when the weather may change, so if it is good, then shoot the exteriors first! After that I made my way inside to photograph the lobby and guest areas.
Heather contacted me wanting headshots to represent her as the professional she is, a psychologist. She even came to Albuquerque all the way from Arizona having specifically sought me out to be her headshot photographer after doing extensive online research! I am very glad that Heather chose me as her headshot photographer and traveled over 3 hours because it was a very fun shoot as her partner and her dog were in studio too! It was a lot of fun, and also as you can see some fantastic headshots with a lot of impact were made.
I received a phone call from Trish about making product photography shots of her fine soaps here at the JCP Home Studio, but a shoot that would first be preceded by prop shopping at Thrift Town! So we met at my favorite thrift store in Albuquerque, where I helped her choose some props to use in the background of the product shots, and then we had the actual shoot. Trish did a great job picking out excellent props and helping with the staging of the soap, allowing me to concentrate on the technical aspects of getting the lighting right first, and then the composition with the soap being well placed among the props for maximum impact the her customers view the soap photos on her website. It was a really fun shoot starting with shopping and ending with some really great photos of very fine soap! And thank you Trish for leaving two bars behind for me!
