Bridal Portrait

Here is an example of a wedding “Devin Style!”

If you like weddings that are unique, you will love these photos.  This wedding took place in Virginia.  The motif was a southern lawn party.   Invitations called for attire to be “Southern Sassy.”

The bride was…….my mother in law!

They set up a tent, croquet, mint julips, bananna pudding, all things southern.

Kathy is an interior designer.  She has a new website, and needed photos of herself.  As an artist, she wanted photos that stand out and relect who she is as a person.

She saw my website and felt very connected to what I am doing with my portraiture.  She felt so strongly about it that she travelled two hours each way to come to the studio for her photos.  She brought a friend along for the ride and made a day out of it.  We had a great time!

Here is what she had to say about her photos:

I just love them!! Thank You so much! Now I have a portrait to be proud of.

Here is my personal favorite from the session…

Creative Portraits

Whenever I get the opportunity to work with other artists, I get excited.  I just worked with a  great group of musicians called Sharp 9.

They needed a band photo for publicity.  I met the leader through a good friend who thought we would work well together.  Boy, was she right!!

I asked the leader to try to describe the feel he wanted with this image.  Here is what he said:   “Emotional, Artistic, seductive undertone, captivating, reconnection with memories, dreams, desires, actualized or not, passionate,confident, assertive, I want to grab people deep in their soul, I want them to surrender to the excitement of their own dreams. maybe people them to reignite them. rekindle their own passion. To engage them in a journey from what was, to what they hoped it would be, to what it still could be.”

I had to do the shoot before a rehearsal in one of the band member’s basement.  Very little space, ELEVEN people, challenging lighting.  I had a vision in my head of what I wanted to do, and….it worked!

This is what he said after seeing the result:

Devin is the consummate professional. A true artist and visionary, his work speaks for itself. He is more than deserving of my highest praise and gratitude.
