Laura Jackman

November 8, 2016 Tim Farr

I meet a lot of people in my travels.

Every once in a while I meet someone on a shoot, and after staying in touch in one way or another, we end up working together. Laura was like that. Laura and I met on a shoot for a clothing brand called Lazy J Lifestyle (you can see the results of that shoot by clicking here). Lauren is the cousin of Molly, the owner of Lazy J, and she was there helping out (and bringing even more life to the shoot than we already had!) After the shoot, Laura, Molly and I had dinner together. While chatting, I found out that Laura might need some headshots in the future (not actor headshots; singer headshots, a special breed) Laura also confessed to me (being the brave woman that she is) that she was a bit anxious and awkward about getting them.

After that shoot, Laura and I became friends on Facebook and followed each other on Instagram. We stayed in touch about the shots she needed, speaking once in a while. Eventually, we were able to nail down a time to shoot together.

Now, Laura has a very, very rare disorder that was mentioned earlier, which causes her to be anxious about having photos taken (sarcasm, not rare at all!). I'm sure no one reading this has ever experienced this... nope, never... not a one. ;) Anyway... for all you people who have never experienced that... some examples of Laura's results are below. They came out beautifully and she is super happy with the results.

I am too.

Thanks for taking the time to look over these shots. Please do use the buttons below, and I would love to hear from you in the comments! I read each and every one!

Meet Brighton

October 19, 2016 Tim Farr

I posted a picture a while back of this little one and promised to share some more. So here are some more eyes, a nose, ten fingers and ten toes for you. (With toes getting some special attention down below!)

She loves her sleep (of course), and already has strong opinions about the world.

I can already tell we have a real pistol on our hands with this one. :)

It's hard to not love photographing little ones. So, if you've got a bundle of joy on the way, please do contact me. I'd love to photograph your new addition. And even if you're not as tiny as this little one, but still want some shots, I'm sure I'd love working with you. ;) You can just go to Booking at the top of the page and we'll roll from there!

Best,

Jamie

Recent Headshot Sessions

September 14, 2016 Tim Farr

Below is a sampling of some of my most recent headshot work.

I've had quite the varied set of clients lately (love it!), and have worked with each to get them exactly what they need. Which, if I may say so, is a challenge sometimes, but a fun challenge. As you can probably imagine from looking at the three different people below, I've been using my photographic flexibility.

And yes, of course, I can't end without saying it's been a pleasure working with each of these beautiful people! Please do click like or share below if something grabbed you.

And please don't hesitate if you'd like to be a part of my beautiful, motley crew of clients. I'd love to have you!

Best,

Jamie

Lazy J Lifestyle

August 30, 2016 Tim Farr

Working with a client on more than one project is one of my favorite things. There are many reasons for this, not the least of which being that we get to develop a relationship (and hopefully friendship) over time. I've worked with Molly of Lazy J Lifestyle on four shoots over the last year and a half. Molly does limited runs of apparel and each one has its own flavor, with each being super, super cute. (Click here to see one of our past shoots) We've shot in beautiful forests and black sand beaches in northern California, as well as at the beaches and surrounding areas in southern California, always with beautiful results.

And our most recent shoot was no exception. Thank you to our model Kennedy Cameron and our hair and makeup artist, Samantha Bates!

How's that for a beautiful way to end a day? Molly and I are already chatting about our next shoot. So you'll have to compete with her for time if you want to schedule something... ;) Don't worry! She's a sweetheart. I'm sure she'll share my time with you if you need some!

Product Photography

July 14, 2016 Tim Farr

Why yes, thank you for asking, I have been doing a fair bit of product photography lately. The funny thing about it, is that the thing that troubled me about product photography waaaaaay back when is what I love about it now: It presents challenges. There are unique lighting and staging challenges with shooting products. And it's actually just part of the shoot, each and every time. Shooting jewelry is always fun. It's like the Hall of Mirrors at the carnival. It's a puzzle getting the angles just right so all you're seeing is the jewelry, and not reflections of other items.

Shooting something in it's ideal state, without departing reality (see ya later...!), is definitely an art. But that's what I've embraced over the years in all my photography, and I love the challenge here. Seems like there might be a lesson there of some sort? :-)

Take a look, won't ya? And don't you just love that infinite-love piece above. I know I do.

You just might have a product of your own. Want a stark white background for your product on Amazon (Amazon loves those white backgrounds)? Want to get creative on a shoot to show your product in use? A piece of apparel out there in the big, wide world (perhaps on a lovely model)? If you do, let's talk! ;)
