What is a Modern Portrait? | Buckley Portrait Photographer

What do you think of when someone says Studio Portrait? Walmart, JC Penny or Life Touch? Maybe even old black and white photos from an old time movie? How about something like this?

A Modern Portrait incorporates the good parts of a classic portrait. The posing is on point to ensure that you look your best. The connection is genuine, shows who you are and lets you shine. What might be new is in the styling. Some old portraits have backgrounds, props and styling (hair/makeup or clothing) that make it feel cheesy, or so dated. 

The Modern Portraits take your beauty, individual style and personality and accentuate what makes you you while also making you look and feel your best. A styling consultation is provided to help you make sure that you look exactly how you have always wanted. It is a portrait that you will want to display on your social media and in your home. Something that you will be proud of sharing. 

Think about all your favorite celebrities magazine covers. That is what we are doing in the Modern Portrait session! How would you like to be photographed? What is your dream photoshoot? Let me know in the comments. Lets start a conversation!
