When I started really trying to practice photography again after a decade + hiatus I did one or two shoots every Saturday for several months. Just with an open casting no size, age preference, just any women who would like a free portrait.
Personally I feel you can only learn something by repetitive practice. This exercise helped me allot. Actually each time I do a shoot I learn something new and will continue on with that.
Since it had been a few weeks I found a few models willing to come down to my studio this past Sunday to let me style and photograph them.

Arlondriah Lenya is a professional model and dancer/Actress and I loved the way she looked in my Dollybirds Collection. I LOVE shooting women with different styles in my wardrobe. I was excited to do kind of a late 60s vibe since that is what this collection is inspired by.

Christiana is from Detroit and moved out to Los Angeles a few years ago. She has lived all over Los Angeles since her arrival and has settled in Woodland Hills.

So in summation, I’ll be doing my portrait exercise again. I do not have time to shoot two girls a week though so it will be more like two girls a month. Anyone interested please email my assistant victoria@jessicalouise.com with link to your portfolios or social media, and available days and times.
Have a productive week everyone.
Lots of love,
