The joys of today’s economy.  I shouldn’t complain, I chose this path. Taking time to build a portfolio is not easy.  I have a day job, clients, students and a family.  I have been looking for opportunities to work with people and frankly, I am no good at asking people  to model.  Thankfully, I have friends, and a fellow photographer Vince Padilla has a lot of great people he shoots with.  One of which is Katie.

Katie is busy like me, it took a little schedule magic to find a time to meet up.  We shoot these portraits last Friday.  I tossed up a quick studio setup in an empty office and we cranked out some images.  Katie is talkative and it was easy to break the ice.  I shot about 8 sheets of black and white and I am waiting for a crummy day to hit the darkroom.
