YVONNE - PORTRAIT SHOOT






My friend and fellow wedding colleague, Yvonne Baca, of Northern Arizona Wedding Planner, needed some portraits taken of herself for promotional use. Yvonne is a bit, how shall I say ... camera shy :-), and though we had originally already done this shoot, neither of us were real happy with the outcome. So last Tuesday, we headed out for a re-shoot in Flagstaff the day after one of our wonderful winter snowstorms.

The first time around Yvonne dressed up, wore jewelry she rarely wears, had someone do her makeup, pulled her hair back and chose Sedona as her backdrop. Ultimately deciding that none of this adequately captured who she really is in spirit, she went a totally different, and I must say, all around better route for shoot two. Wearing jeans and a pretty sweater, no jewelry, makeup she did herself, hair down and choosing Flagstaff's snow-covered peaks as her backdrop, Yvonne felt much more herself and in her element - and it showed through in the resulting images. You looked beautiful Yvonne and believe it or not, I had fun traipsing around in waist deep snow!
