Gavin’s Senior Photo Session in Crystal Lake, IL

nfocus photos - senior photos in Crystal Lake and Hampshire, IL
Last month we had the chance to photograph Gavin who just graduated from Prairie Ridge in Crystal Lake. He’s a great kid with a million dollar smile and a James Dean vibe. Of course he’s too young to remember James Dean or know what a James Dean vibe is, but that’s ok… the camera loved it!

I had the chance to work with Gavin’s sister a few years back so it was great to reconnect with the family and Gavin’s Mom who loved seeing her son’s personality come out in front of the camera!

If you just graduated and haven’t taken senior photos, why not? You may not realize it, but this is a hugely important time in your life that needs to be captured so that some day you can show your kids how cool you used to be! Fill out the form below and I’ll send you all the information you need to get started!

Ethan’s Senior Photo Shoot in Cary, IL

Our first outdoor senior session of the Spring was with Ethan from Cary Grove and what a session it was! Ethan’s a cool guy with a ton of interests and we tried to capture as many of them as we could during his shoot!

Rain sent us into the studio on our originally scheduled date. In the studio we took some photos of Ethan and his brother, Nathan. Ethan’s sister-in-law, Katie (carrying Ethan’s future niece) jumped in for a few photos as well.For something completely different, Ethan and Nathan flew their drones around the studio while I was able to capture some pretty unique images.

Once the weather turned more cooperative, we got to the outdoor portion of Ethan’s session. We took photos with his pet turtle and dog, his trumpet, his rifle and his TaeKwon-Do uniform! I mean it was action packed and totally fun!

Check out some of my favorite images from his session!

A bunch of our Class of 2018 Model Reps stopped by the studio this week for a group shoot with an anti-bully theme. A serious subject for sure, but we had a ton of fun trying out some different things.

We’ve got a great group of Reps this year and it was fun to get a chance to work with a larger group. They were totally gung-ho and jumped at the opportunity to come up with defining words and write them on each other!

If you’d like to see more from this shoot, go to app.nfocusphotos.com/nfocus/2018RepGroups/

We still have three spots left in this year’s Model Rep program. If you’re a Junior and you’re interested, go to nfocusphotos.com/rep18 to fill out an application. Would love to work with you this year!

First Week of Senior Model Rep Photo Shoots

nfocus photos - senior photos in Crystal Lake and Cary, IL

Every Spring I bring in High School Juniors to be Model Reps for our studio. The Reps know they want to have Senior Photos taken with nFocus Photos and help us promote our studio to their friends. The program is a ton of fun and a great way to save a bit of money on senior photos.

Last week we started photographing the Reps in our studio. After a long winter, it’s always nice to be able to dust off the cobwebs and get back in the groove before the Summer/Fall rush!

This year’s sessions have been amazing so far as you can see from the photos!

Our Portfolio Shoot with Circus Performer Leela Miller

nFocus Photos Crystal Lake Photographer Circus Performer Acting Headshot Portfolio
 

Leela Miller is a Chicago area Circus Performer who specializes in the hula hoop, contortion and aerial.

She came to nFocus wanting to update her website with professional photos focusing on her hula hoop and contortion work.

Leela debated between a few different outfits and we finally settled on a perfect light blue, jeweled performance outfit.

We spent about an hour working through several different tricks, trying to grab that perfect moment. Leela is an amazing artist and I really wanted to capture that in the photos.

We recently asked Leela to talk a bit about her nFocus experience and what the photos have done for her business. Look for it below…

Our interview with Leela Miller…

nFocus: How would you describe your session?
Leela: It was relaxed and focused on getting the perfect photo of what I really wanted! I really liked the small, quiet studio and the focus Nick had on my session. He was solely tuned in to taking the photos I wanted, with no distractions.

n: How did your shoot make you feel? 
L: Like my photos were important, like I was important. I felt like I was in charge of what we were taking, but with the help of Nick coaching me through poses and angels.

n: What was your favorite part of the shoot? 
L: When I did a hula hoop split with all 4 hoops and Nick managed to capture a perfect shot! That was really exciting.

n: What did you like best about your photos? 
L: The quality. They are well polished and capture so much detail.

n: How have you used your photos in your business and have they helped in any way?
L: The photos  nFocus shot are posted on several of my media sharing platforms, including my website. Since adding professional photos to my website, I have at least doubled the amount of traffic and inquires I’m getting. They really helped grab the eyes of the booking agents too and bring more business to my sites!
