I think almost any wedding photographer will tell you, though weddings may be our favorite/passion + hold a special place in our heart, there's something about portraits that are a breath of fresh air at times. Weddings are a rush of adrenaline, being able to think on your feet, capturing precious moments and memories as they unfold before you, and creating beautiful images while working with whatever space you find yourself in. Portraits are a whole different world. You (or your client) usually get to specifically choose the location, and you have a relaxed amount of time to work with your client(s), usually during the best light of the day. I love the ebb and flow that shooting both portraits AND weddings brings, and the way that each of them challenge me differently.
As I've gone through and tried to whittle down my favorite portraits to a respectable amount I can't believe all the lovely people I've been able to work with in the most beautiful locations over the past year. Thank you old and new friends for making this passion of mine something I can call my job, and for allowing me to be a part of your lives in such a special way!
p.s. if you make it all the way to the end--leave a comment and tell me your favorite(s)?
Much Love,
Jessica Shae

ReplyDeleteThey're all beautiful, but my favorite is the one with the girl smiling at the camera and her hair going crazy around her, haha. I love that one. Number 21, I believe.

Way, way, way, way, waaaaaaaaaaay too many favs; but, the one that sticks with me is the extremely nautical one, closer to the end. ;)
ReplyDeleteSo lovely, Miss Jessica :)
ReplyDeleteI pretty much think the same as everybody, I'd be picking almost all of them if I were to choose favorites! I just love all of them! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the ones of your Sis! She's so pretty! Just like you!
ReplyDeleteXOXO, Anna Rose

ReplyDeleteAhh, I just love your pictures :) My favorites though? They'd have to be 1, 6,20, 24, 32, 33, 47, 55, 68, and 70. I love the lighting and composition in these!
ReplyDeleteOh how I wish you could take my senior pictures!!

ReplyDeletei can't believe you just asked me to pick favorites. oh my goodness, jessica. these portraits are incredible. your talent is just... ahhhh, breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteLove them all so much :) I don't think I could pick a favorite :) I love the newborn shoot in the family's house - I bet that will makes the pictures even more special for them many years down the road :)
ReplyDelete-Mal ;)
I have my favorites, but there are too many to count! Love them all!
ReplyDeleteSarah d.
These are all so beautiful, my friend :D. The one of Chloe between the two big trees is a favorite!
ReplyDeleteNow that's a post of pictures! I like the top picture the best. There's a "Secret Garden" kind of feel to it. :)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore the 1st and the last one! The lighting is stunning and the composition is lovely. Portrait photography is a favorite of mine.
ReplyDelete12th from the last, I suppose it'd be? shot from above with sun and freckles and stripes and eyelashes? gorgeous.
ReplyDeletecan't even decide! (although if i had to, the ones from summer and california are my faves.) i love portraits though, always have, always will. cannot wait to take some of my own someday!
ReplyDeleteWow, the photographs are absolutely stunning, Jessica! I LOVE your photography so much :)
ReplyDeleteMy favourite two are the 1st and 21st, lovely, lovely, lovely!
