Capturing the Essence of Healing: A Headshot Photo Session with Therapist Cristal
As a photographer, I've had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients, each with their unique stories and professions. Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing Cristal, a talented therapist located in Honolulu, Oahu with a warm and compassionate presence that shines through her work. Our photo session was a delightful journey into the world of capturing the essence of healing through imagery.
When Cristal reached out to me, it was evident that her enthusiasm for her profession was matched by her desire to convey her therapeutic approach through photography. We discussed her vision for the session, exploring how we could capture the essence of her healing work in a single headshot. Her commitment to helping others was inspiring, and I was eager to translate that into a compelling photograph.

Last month I collaborated with Jay Shidler and his team for a two day project.

They wanted the background to be their office setting and blurred out. As a former Shidler College of Business student, it was an honor to partner with their team. Everyone was super easy to work with and laid back. We had a great team and thanks to my lighting assistant with all the location changes and setups!
