Feeling’ 22! | Alan’s K-Pop Inspired Birthday Shoot in Northwest Arkansas

Hello, my friends! I have been waiting for the perfect day to share this amazing studio portrait session and today is the day! We’re on day 8 (maybe 9?) of being totally snowed / iced / frozen in and I am so excited to pop in and and share these incredible + unique photographs with you! I adore them!

Alan is so amazing and his vision for this shoot was a freaking dream!

Alan is a huge K-Pop fan and, for his twenty-second birthday shoot, he sent me a bunch of inspiration photographs of his favorite band. We emailed back and forth a few times and, from there, our vision was clear! I chose a black paper backdrop for our studio setup, hung metallic fabric everywhere, grabbed my prisms, and did a little dance inside cause I knew the shoot was going to be killer. I mean, those gold sparkles! Alan’s pink shorts! The rose gold fabric draped over pillows! As I’m sure y’all can see, my hopes were not in vain and I think I squealed with creative joy at least a hundred times while we were shooting.

As we shot, we listened to Alan’s favorite songs, talked about life (I first photographed Alan for his senior portraits years ago!), and just had a total blast. This session was a freaking dream and I’m so glad Alan came to me with his vision. It was one for the books and I’m obsessed! If you’re thinking of booking a session to celebrate your birthday, DO IT! This was so much fun and I loved every minute!

P.S. The location for this studio portrait session? It was my garage and it was PERFECT.
