“Love.  Laugh.”

© 2014 Thousand Word Images by Dustin Abbott

Who says that having your portrait done has to be painful? One key thing that I have learned in my portrait photography is that your average person is not a professional model. They don’t know how to pose, and many poses seem unnatural and forced to them. One of my favorite things to do is to get them laughing (and if there is more than one person – interracting) and just keep shooting. Those unforced, natural moments often produce more memorable portraits than something posed. Jazzlyn’s natural joy and sense of humor is on full display here…and it happened just as I described.
