Professional Commercial Photography for a Day Spa in Albuquerque
he whole time I was at Remedy Day Spa in Albuquerque, New Mexico making better than stock images, commercial portraits, and interior and exterior photos, I kept thinking to myself, “who knew this oasis was right in the middle of ABQ??” I met Mandy, the owner, who wanted me to capture the full range of spa services she has available, from secluded wooden barrels hot tub soaks, to professional massage, to a large yoga studio. It was one of the most wide ranging commercial photo shoots I have had. The photos feature the actual Remedy team in them, for that better than stock image photo feel because it shows the actual Remedy Day Spa team in the actual Remedy Day Spa setting. Now, all of Albuquerque can see and discover this hidden gem right in Nob Hill! Thank you Mandy for choosing me as your photographer and also to the Remedy team that did a great job in front of the lens all day. And thank you to Jessica for assisting on this, I wish I had gotten a BTS shot of you holding that huge diffuser over the hot tub!
Consistent lawyer headshots over the years for Vapri Weeks
One of my longest term clients here in Albuquerque is the law firm of Vrapi Weeks (formerly Noble Law). I have made everything from headshots to interior photos to aerial drone photos for them at their various New Mexico locations. Anytime they get a new attorney, it is easy for them to visit me here at the JCP Home Studio and get the exact same style headshot as I have previously made for all the other attorneys at the firm. Such was the case when Aspyn visited for her headshot session. Everything was setup in advance for the framing that Vrapi Weeks likes for headshots, so it only took up 5 minutes of Aspyn’s time. That is one of the benefits Jason Collin Photography offers headshot clients, consistent results over many years of making headshots, and an efficient photo session that does not take up much time of a lawyer’s busy schedule. Thank you to everyone at Vrapi Weeks for continuing to choose me as your photographer!
Outdoor team headshots in Albuquerque for Zia Trust
Zia Trust had an established style for their team headshots using a space outside their building right here in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Things change outdoors though, including landscaping and of course light, so I was allowed some flexibility to choose a different background area for making headshots of the CEO, senior trust officer, and the trust administrator. I have a suspicion that when it comes time update the other team members photos, they will want to use the new style I established with these three headshots. Thank you to Nate and the Zia Trust team for organizing a smooth headshot shoot outside where there can definitely be variables. I do not always recommend outdoor on location headshot shoots, but with the right conditions, they can turn out unique and high impact like these did!
Pageant Photography Photo Session that got results
Evee’s grandmother called me asking if I would go to Los Lunas, New Mexico (about 30 minutes away) to make pageant portraits of the precocious 4-year old. I am always straight forward with potential clients about my experience in a certain area of photography, and even though I had not made pageant photos before, I am experienced with off camera flash outdoors, which is the kind of out of the box pageant photos Kim wanted for Evee. Most pageant photos are made in studio, so these photos I made for Evee in her own backyard have already helped her move on to nationals! Fun fact about Evee, if she had $10 million what would she want? Watermelon. Thank you Kim for choosing me as your photographer and for Evee taking a break, occasionally, from being a ham, to let me make these pageant portraits of her. I should really do an outtakes post from the shoot because Evee can make some serious fish faces!
From Porsche photos to candid family portraits in the Sandias
Julia first contacted me about a year ago to make photos of her dad and his stunning new Porsche Taycan. This time it was photos for the whole family with a candidfamily portrait photo session in the Sandias in Albuquerque, New Mexico. You would not be able to believe it from the photos, but it snowed overnight and in the morning where we shot it would have been totally snow covered! By the late afternoon it melted and we had our candid family portrait session as scheduled. It was a fun time in the mountains making portraits. Thank you Julia for continuing to choose me as your family’s photographer!
Early morning portraits from the 3rd hole at Twin Warriors
Events, especially outdoor ones, are starting to come back in New Mexico, and it was a great time making golfing foursome portraits on the 3rd hole of the Twin Warriors Golf Club as part of the 3rd Annual Jennifer Riordan Golf Classic. I was actually working for Junior Achievement of New Mexico who put on a great event and provided me with two great volunteers to help photograph 35+ foursomes that day. Thank you to Lindsay and Jeff for helping out with the photography and to Patricia for choosing me as the photographer for this event!
Modern and dramatic lighting for creative headshots in ABQ
More and more young professionals are choosing Jason Collin Photography for modern, creative headshots that showcase their personality, their brand, and their professionalism. Austin visited the JCP Home Studio for a series of headshots and wanted a variety of lighting styles and poses, including one quite dramatic one that I do not make very often for clients (see yellow shirt below). This was one of those headshot shoots that just clicked with client, lighting, and poses. Thank you Austin for choosing me as your Albuquerque headshot photographer!
