Lights, Camera, Action!

Brittani brought a great selection of vibrant clothes which gave me alot of choices when choosing backgrounds. Since Brittani has studied dance for a number of years, posing was natural for her and her portraits turned out looking just like tear sheets from a fashion magazine. Brittani is planning on coming back to do a model shoot with her modern dance costumes in the natural light area of my studio. Im really looking forward to the contrast between the textures of her dance costumes and the wood, bricks and antique machinery.
Here are a few from Brittani's senior portrait session.

Can you hear it?

Matt had his senior portraits this weekend and brought his guitar. I dont get to do enough guys, and especially ones with with a guitar or drums It was a great session. Mat played his guitar while I photographed. I was very pleased to capture the emotion that a musical instrument can bring to the room. If you listen while looking at the pictures, can you hear it?

A big thanks to Ashlea for referring Matt.

Big Senior Weekend

It's been a big rush to get senior pictures before school starts. I had 3 senior sessions on Friday, another Saturday and one today. I will be blogging about each in the next few days when I get caught up.
Katherine was the first senior of the day and she got up early! We met at 7 a.m. so she could have an outdoor session as well as a studio session. Katherine was referred by one of her soccer teammates, Kirstie, so we got to talk some about her team while creating portraits. Even at 7 it was hot. I bet Katherine is glad she was number one for the day, because it topped out at 100 later that day. Here are a few from Katherine's senior portrait session.

Saturday's Seniors Part II

Saturday was such an amazing day. Not only did I have a blast with Courtney in the morning, but I got to work with Alison Saturday afternoon. The session started off fantastic because after all the heat we'd had last week, it finally cooled down a bit. Alison chose a combination session so we photograhed around downtown as well as in my studio. Alison has the kind of smile that would make the Grinch celebrate Christmas. I really enjoyed creating her senior portraits, a few of them are shown below.

A tough Session

No, not in a bad way, in a good way. Yesterday Courtney and her sister Katelyn came in for Courtney's senior portraits. She had SO MANY great outfits I could have photographed her all morning! We really had a hard time picking out her and my favorites [I think mom only got to pick one] but the ones we chose combined with Courtney's awesome smile and natural posing ability made it a great session. Some of her pics are included.

Katelyn also posed for a picture, getting ready for when she comes in for her senior portraits in a few years. She told me she chose her fashion slippers for this pose because they went so well with the room decor.

103 in the Shade

The thermometer read 103 in the shade. The haute index was much higher. Sunday afternoon, 5 professional fashion photographers, 7 models and a professional make-up artist descended on Deep Ellum in downtown Dallas for a model shoot. It was hot! They models were hotter! We had a great time and created some images that grab your attention. Here is a sampling of the session.

You can see the entire session at www.davidquisenberryphotography.com/deepellum for a limited time.

This model session was such a huge success that I will be offering the chance to be a part of one on a very limited basis in the future. You will receive a professional hair and make up session, be photographed by multiple fashion photographers, get a great meal while hanging out with the photographers and other models, and receive prints from each photographer who captures you. If this is something that interests you, send me an email for more information and pricing. There is already a waiting list, but the quicker you respond the shorter the wait!

Senior: AshM

I have to start by saying that both Ashley and her mom kept me laughing the entire time I was creating her senior portraits. I wonder if they that crazy in real life or were just entertaining me, either way, I had a blast. Ashley chose a combo session and was one of the few seniors willing to get up early enough to start a session at 7:15 a.m., but we had great light and got fantastic images.
Here are a few from Ashley's senior portraits.

Haute Time in McKinney

I had a great time creating Kelly and Wes's engagement portraits last weekend. Within 5 minutes they made me feel like we had known each other for years. Wes's daughter, Lauren, accompanied them and helped me direct the portrait session. She also sat in for a few images, too. As you will see, not only are Kelly and Wes a super friendly couple, that are one Haute Couple, too.






Here is a portrait with Wes surrounded by his lovely ladies.



Kelly and I also worked together to create some stunning bridal images, but we have to keep those under wraps until 9.22@6 for Wes. He is one lucky guy...

Alex

Alex, swimmer instructor Extraordinaire at 24hr, came by for her senior portraits this last weekend. She was a blast to work with and immediately took to the camera as if she had modeled before. That true, Alex? Anyway, a few from her portrait session.
