A SET OF DREAMBOATS.

I am a very lucky photographer in which I get to take pictures of people that make me laugh and ones that I admire very much. I met Ryan after an improv show at a bar called Grassroots  and 2 minutes later we were old friends. He needed a headshot for an audition in a crunch and I fit him in between a million other things. He was flexible and I was flexible and we both made it work.

One of the cool things that came with it was that his teammate Georgia, really liked the photos and opted to have me take her writers portrait. I was beyond flattered because it takes one thing to take a picture of your friend, but when someone picks you for the work you’ve done without really knowing you, it feels quite special. Georgia is a writer from Australia and works on projects from books to columns to screenplays. She also had a very busy schedule and was on many deadlines and we both were flexible enough to make it work.

TIP: Never be afraid to simply just ask a photographer if they can work with your special situation. If you need to break up your session between two different days, you want half studio/half street, or a longer session time, I am here to work with you to get the shot you like!

I am showing off some of the pictures I got to take this summer of some very lovely people. If you are looking to take new headshots, let me know by sending me an email at : melissagomezphoto@gmail.com.

Tomorrow features a fellow Ohioan! Love that midwest.
