Eryn | Mikaela Joy: Savannah Lifestyle Photographer

It can be hard to get anything done with a new baby, but last week I was determined to get back behind the camera taking something other than baby pictures. So with my little man tied on to my back, I made my way to Forsyth Park to meet up with a gorgeous model named Eryn.

Eryn posses one of my favorite qualities in a model- she's up for anything.  She showed up with a smile on her face and a perfect outfit, despite the fact that I had only given her a day's notice.  More impressively, she was unphased by my little helper, laughing as he tried to flirt with her.

Since it was such an impromptu shoot (I seem to be developing a habit here), we decided to keep it carefree with a more candid feel.  These are my favorite types of shots because they really showcase the personality of the model.  When I think of Eryn I think of vintage glamour, and I feel like that's what we captured here.

You can find the rest of the photos from this shoot here.

Two For One Photo Shoot | Mikaela Joy: Savannah Lifestyle Photographer

Whenever I shoot with Sam (one of my best friends and my favorite model) we have a tendency to get a bit carried away. We get an idea in our heads, and then we get three more and then we spend most of a day shooting photos.

For that reason my portfolio has more images of Sam than anyone else and they are all a strange mismatch of different genres.

But we always have fun!

This shoot started out early in the morning with a very glam look (pictured above).  She put on a red dress and some makeup and we ventured out into the morning light for some portraits.

And then we got into the black paint and shadows.

This was where both of us got to really play with our creativity.  We worked together to make photos that really evoked emotion and were a step away from my normal type of work to add variety to both of our portfolios.

How did we do?
