Photographing A Young Author….

A little while back I was contacted by a young woman who wanted to hire me to take photos of her and her brother as a gift for her mother’s birthday! How lovely and how much fun they were. It was one of those shoots were I spent a lot of time laughing, they were wonderful to spend time with.

Preceding the shoot, I uncovered that they both had distinct interests in the arts, Talya as a writer and her brother Jake as a musician, so I invited them to bring along anything they would like to include that would best portray who they are (if they wished)…we played with this idea and had some funny moments, playing a bit more as the shoot progressed…eventually I uncovered just how talented they both are…Jake is amazingly talented on the guitar and Tayla has just recently had her first book published, which is an enormous achievement for someone not long out of school.

I am excited for her and look forward to reading this book, (if I can pry it from my daughter’s hands!) if you would like to take a look at the details of Tayla’s book here is the link : The Convergence

Here is a selection of photos from the shoot:
