H.S.Senior Portraits, Saint Paul, AndrewsPhotography












We had a chance to take Photos of Sasha a High School Senior from North High. Only one hiccup to the session, she forgot her favorite red Jacket. Dad to the rescue he must have been in a jet car or something he only took 15 minutes to get here. Dominoes eat your heart out. We shot some on the way back to the studio and finished up in studio. Rod tried something new at the end of the session and it turned out to be Sashas favorite. See the sepia hard edge light photo. Very bold and dynamic look.

How does your High School Senior see her or himself? Much of the session is determined in the attitude of the senior as the arrive. Sasha commented during the first 15 minutes of the session that this wasn't what she expected. She though it was going to be, hey just take a seat here do this smile, your done. Lots of smiles and comments on wow Rods a bit goofy followed. Glad she had fun that's what the experience is all about. Be prepared come happy and well do the rest.

Danami, Headshots in Saint Paul, Andrews Photography,

Danami "musician", Headshots in Saint Paul, Andrews Photography Danami needed a few head shots done of himself. For his cd release party and of course his new LP out this fall. He also needed a silhouette shot with some art placed inside. Danami found images that meant something to him. A few famous persona's that had a impact on his life. Plus we added a few of him in there too. Fun headshots in under 2 hours. We did two clothing changes and 4 slight lighting changes to make this shoot work. Danami had a clear idea of what he wanted and he got it and more. This image is going to make one killer poster! Andrews Photography is always up for something new and engaging. This helps our grey matter expand.

Andrews Photography decided to start the shoot out with some hard directional light. Less is more kind of thing. Then we did a few fun poses with some emotion and topped it off with him adjusting his hair. We got a few great photographs of him doing his thing. Danami really knew how to move in front of the camera, thanks for bring the emotion.

We used a few tricks from my fashion routine, ringflash, low angle, wide lens, hard side light, and of course Rod Andrew behind the lens.
