Every portrait session has its own story, and this one with a mother and her son was truly special. They came to me with unique goals—she wanted a polished, professional LinkedIn profile picture, while he was building his modeling portfolio with a mix of versatile headshots and creative branding images. Additionally, they requested a meaningful portrait of the two of them together, showcasing their bond.
We began the session in the studio, focusing on creating timeless and professional images. The mother’s radiant confidence and warmth shone through in her portraits, perfectly capturing the polished professionalism she was looking for. Meanwhile, her son was a natural in front of the camera, effortlessly transitioning from poised headshots to creative poses that highlighted his potential as a male model. The neutral studio backdrop allowed their personalities to shine, resulting in a series of clean, striking images.
For the final part of the session, we moved outdoors to capture the dynamic duo in a natural setting. The green pine trees provided a stunning backdrop for their mother-and-son portrait, where their connection and warmth were on full display. The outdoor shots added a layer of storytelling, with golden light and beautiful colors enhancing the candid, heartfelt vibe of their photos.
One of my favorite moments from the session was posing the mother resting her arms on her son’s shoulders. It was a simple yet powerful way to reflect the close bond they share and the pride she feels for her son.
The final collection of images included a mix of professional headshots, creative poses, and personal branding photos that both the mother and son loved. Their kind words after the session were truly humbling:
"Working with Dale was absolutely amazing! The experience was both personal and professional from start to finish. From our initial meeting to discuss packages, through the actual photo shoot, to reviewing and receiving the final photos, every step was fantastic. They have an incredible eye for detail and captured everything we envisioned. They made us feel at ease and were excellent at directing us for the best shots. The photos turned out stunning, and we couldn't be happier with the results. One of my favorite moments was when I was outdoors smiling, and they captured a candid shot of me—it perfectly reflected how I felt that day. I highly recommend Dale Steadman Portrait to anyone seeking a talented and professional photographer!"
