Artistic Portraits for Teen Girl and Boy Models

I’ve had some great shoots lately, lots of super fun (and photogenic) teens. Loving the warm weather so that we can shoot outside and not worry about tight, tense shoulders from cold weather. (That’s actually the first place I see kids show the cold – their shoulders tense up and start moving towards their earlobes ;-).)

The nice weather also means we can get on the roof of my North Denver photo studio. It’s fun doing photography sessions on the roof because it gives us some wonderful and unique backgrounds for artistic portraits. Truly, how many people get a huge AC unit in the background, right?

Here are a couple recent model portfolio shoots, I love how these headshots turned out. Both these teenagers have such piercing, and expressive eyes. And they were super nice kids, too. I’ll def share some of their “smiley” images in the future.

If you are looking for modeling headshots for your teenager (or child), contact me for more info.

Broomfield, Colorado: Happy Mother's Day from Natascha Lee Studios

Happy Mother’s Day!

Since I’m spending the day with my children rather than on the computer  (but NOT gardening, thank you 4″ of Denver snow), I’m sharing my blog post from a previous Mother’s Day.

The kiddos are already climbing all over me, asking me to go build snowmen in the backyard. With “Real Carrots!”

Q: “What did one snowman say to the other?”

A; “Do you smell carrots?”

Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful Mammas out there!

Oh my, I just loved opening my email and seeing this note from Michelle.  Michelle, you totally made my day!

Best Bag Ever (Family Portraits in Red Rocks, Golden, Colorado)

CF card wallets and specially padded cases for our lenses. Basically anything that allows you to transport your stuff and access it easily while you are on the go.  I really believe that having just the right bag (from a functional perspective), with a few key/relevant items,  will make any endeavor easier. When I travel, about 20% of my suitcase has the various bags I think I might need at my destination. I was so thrilled a few years back when a friend of mine started working at Ebags. Yea, that’s what you call an obsession. And here is the story how I came to find my newest favorite bag: Last fall I had the honor to photograph Jennifer’s family. All my photography clients get detailed preparation tips, so she knew to bring a change of clothes, a few accessories for herself, and her son’s favorite sports balls. This is quite a bit of stuff, and you want an easy way to gather it together, carry it, and also easily access just what you want without digging through a dark bag.  They love Red Rocks, so that’s where we met for their family photo session. Unlike my Denver studio or a few favorite local parks, where I typically meet families for portraits, Red Rocks had us hiking very far from our cars.  Sounds like just the job for a good bag, right? 😉 As soon as she showed up with this Thirty One Gifts Large Utility Tote, I knew I HAD to get one (or two or three…well, Ok, I ordered four, but some of them in smaller sizes!) It comes in different colors, it’s $35, and you can personalize it with your name (for an additional fee.)  I use one for my newborn session props, and we use another as our pool bag. Click HERE to order your own. During the Month of May, you get to order a second one for $10.   Best Tote Bag Ever from 31 Gifts

3 Tips for Denver Kids Modeling Headshots – by Natascha Lee Studios

Are you looking for headshots of your child model, actor, gymnastics, dancer, or performer? Here are three tips for you.


Tip #1: Many people think you just need one or two images. Actually, you will need at least 9 images: 3 distinct outfits, then a headshot, a 3/4 and a full body of each outfit

Tip #2: Your portfolio images also should demonstrate a variety of expressions (your child’s “range”), but still be consistent in terms of showing your child’s unique personality.

Tip #3: It’s super important that your photographer is great with kids! Your child need to have FUN during her/his session.

Here is what a recent client said on my Facebook page:

Natascha, you are such a joy to work with! Mackenzie can’t wait to come back and bounce some more. We feel so fortunate to have had you do Mackenzie’s head shots! – Jennifer, Mackenzie’s Mom
