We have exciting news from one of the organizations that we support.  Today is Valentine’s day, but in honor of 10 years of service for the people of Houston, the City and Mayor Sylvester Turner proclaimed February 14th as Generation One Day!

Since Generation One is entirely funded by donations and volunteers, it doesn’t have the budget to hire a professional team of photographers to come and take school photos for the students like the public or private schools.  To ensure that these kids get to have the same privileges, we donated outdoor photos and prints for all the kids last year so all the kids and their parents can enjoy school pictures just like any public or privately funded school.  Below are some highlights:

A few years ago, it was very popular for senior portraits to have a lot makeup, huge strip lashes, and editing that removes any kind of pores or texture from the skin. It was too much, and I’m very pleased that those trends are fading away.

Fueled by the #MeToo movement, young women are more empowered than ever. This past year, I’ve had more teens that no longer regularly wear makeup compared to previous years. Many of my seniors now go without foundation day to day. Most of them only pop on a bit of macara or liner, and they are good to go for school. It could be the seniors I attract, but I do think that across the board, there is a shift in perspective.

I have nothing but love for makeup, but I am also an advocate for young women being more raw and appreciating their God given natural beauty.

To sum it up, the huge shift in trends in senior portraits this year is “less is more.”

That means people prefer skin in photographs to look real, not blurred out or even too perfected. The hairstyles you see may be a little less big and more on the side of tousseled and effortless, or straight and pulled back. The other difference is opting out of false lashes all together or using only very natural strip lashes to add a little bit of volume.

This senior photoshoot with Emily is a prime example of how we’ve pulled back on the makeup, brought down the curls so they start lower rather than higher, and we opted for no lashes as we felt that fit Emily better. On the photography side, we did more lifestyle versus portrait photos because it captured Emily’s essence more accurately.

At LWP, we always strive to create shoots that mirror the energy and vibe of our clients. While we definitely still have a distinctive voice and style, you’ll see through our blog that we definitely tailor each shoot to fit our client’s needs.

Before you start wondering, let me just start by saying *THIS IS NOT A SENIOR SHOOT*. Parents of seniors, please don’t freak out. Your kid will not be photographed like this (unless he/she wants to be, and you consent.)

This photoshoot was born out of experimentation between the model (Brooke), makeup artist (Jackie), and I. We all love Japanese anime, so we wanted to create a shoot that has a cartoonish feel. The location itself is a run-down place I’ve been driving by for months. In fact, many people might even call it ugly, but it was important to me to create something interesting out of the ordinary, the forgotten, and the broken. I believe that if we can only change our perspective, then life can be more interesting and wonderful.

Since I photograph young women quite often, one of my main concerns as a photographer is bringing out the beauty of my clients in photos. To free myself from doing what I normally do, I intentionally did not photograph poses that were traditionally considered beautiful. Photography is my passion and hobby, but I do it for work.

To take a break from “work” but still do what I love, I have to photograph something different from what I normally do. So this shoot was my breath of fresh air, my vacation from normalcy, and I hope you enjoy it as much I loved shooting it.
