What an awesome shoot! Anna Marie Costello contacted Reseth Photography and I and wanted to book a combined creativity shoot. She was recently crowned Miss Oklahoma International and needed to updated her head shots and portfolio. I love doing combined creativity shoots because it gives me a chance to work with another outstanding photographer and give our clients something special. There is a philosophy that Reseth and I both believe in, "It's not how much you can add but rather what you can take away that makes a great image." Photography should be about the interaction between subject and photographer. It is about creating images that engage the viewer with emotion and substance. Whether it be through equipment, lighting, or post production, great photographs are about taking away all of the obstacles to reveal the personality and beauty of your subject. Anna Marie made that part of our job so easy. She is super fun, sweet, beautiful and has such a big personality there was no way that it could not come through in her photos. She represents our state very well and is an amazing role model to young women in Oklahoma and across America. I wish her all the best in the Miss International Pageant this July. She has my vote!
