Claremont Photography |Photo Swap: Beka Part II

I’m so glad everyone enjoyed Beka’s photos last week, I loved seeing all your comments while I was sick in bed with the flu. The library ones are my favorite as well and I’m glad I got to play out part of my photo wish list. If you missed it you can view it here.

For the second part of our photo swap we decided to shoot at the train station in old town Claremont. It has beautiful architecture and texture and it was the perfect backdrop to use my framed black board. We were good girls and did not take the typical train track photos you see with people walking across them. Don’t get me wrong, we would have loved to take that typical photo, but we do not like fines. No, thank you. We ended the shoot right outside a little vintage store with the cutest display on the side of their store. The lighting was still harsh that day around 5:00 PM so the shade at this location was perfect to get up close and personal on Beka. I love, love taking up close head shots.

Luckily for me I get to shoot her again later this fall along with her husband, so this won’t be the last of Beka you see around here.

My favorite. Her eyes really do sparkle, no photoshop here.

Love the off shoulder, it is always lovely and complimentary on any woman.

I had so much fun with this! Can’t wait for my next photo project, gotta keep the creative juices flowing while they’re here.
