First thing first, I wish I was as cool as Harlan
He walked in and said ‘I want to take pictures with my sunglasses & a toothpick…and I brought my skeleton’
The vision was 100000% there
This shoot brought to life an idea I’ve been kicking around for a while…
What if we let the kid be the creative director?
They pick their favorite outfit, bring a few items they’re obsessed with right now and decide the poses & vibe
And I help them bring the vision to life
These little snapshots of who they are
Their imagination
Confidence
Playfulness
Kindness
& the things they think are the coooooolest things in the world…it all changes so quickly
It’s like trying to catch lightening in a bottle
Orrrrr maybe an 8x10 (sorry, I had to make the dad joke)
I had an absolute blast bringing Harlan’s vision to life and now I want to do a million more photoshoots like this
