Introducing: Gus!

Gus is The Studio’s August 2020 Model! Every four weeks, The Studio (I) works with a new model on weekly sessions. I do this to be sure my shooting stays sharp. It also allows me to try new methods, gear, posing, lighting, etc. in a learning environment rather than on my clients during once in a life time moments!

When my models come to the studio, they plan to stay for 2-3 hours as we trouble shoot and work on 1 or 2 new concepts.

All of my models get an “Introductory Shoot”. This is where we go over the model release, get to know each other a little to be sure we’re a great fit, and do a 10-15 minute head shot session. Nothing fancy. We’re just seeing how we work together real quickly and exposing the model to my alter ego of photographer Jaclynn.

I’m so excited to work with Gus this month because I honestly haven’t done very much career focus on men! I’m so inspired by women (my bride’s!), my grooms are sometimes a little neglected in the portrait department in comparison. I’d love if they could feel equally special to my brides some day.

This month, I’ll be diving into men’s posing, fashion, and just looking to be inspired by the male form. I’m discovering comfortable ways to pose Gus that also flatter him, choosing my favorite lighting for him, and maybe develop a few creative tricks up my sleeve just for the guys!

Gus literally turned 18 the day before he signed the contract! Thank you for choosing the studio to be your first legal document! haha, Looking forward to working with you, Gus!

Early October I got to experience an adventurous and romantic Swiss Autumn with my long distance partner. We traveled deep into the Swiss mountains, ate all the yummy food, met old friends, went to a dance party, made some new friends, enjoyed a private sauna with an impressive view, took naps, snuggled, and went on […]

We have to get a little creative here with our PNW Photojournalism. One of the first things you learn as a new natural light photographer is how incredible a big window can make any room look. A tiny corner in the most unassuming place, if sitting close to a window can produce the most magical […]

Tonight, I took the boys to the Everett Haunted Harbor community event! Everyone putting it on was so sweet and we all had a blast! Thank you to all the boat volunteers! We started with trick or treating at the boats, watching witches paddle board around the harbor, petting all the neighbor dogs, and watched […]

Hey, Mommas. Take a look at your babies now. Go ahead. Just take a quick peek. They grow. Today was a bit exhausting, wasn’t it? There were moments of things never being quite perfect. You tried your best and showed up in every way you could possibly think to and still, you fell short in […]
