Carlton | Highland Park Headshot Session

“I needed two things before I could schedule a shoot with you: a paycheck and a snazzy haircut.”

This was strange fall. Summer ran long and hard, giving us just a sliver of autumn before diving headlong into winter. So when Carlton scheduled his headshot session, I'm was grateful that we managed to photograph in those short weeks of fall.

Highland Park in Birmingham is always a sight. The neighborhood weaves itself around 3 parks and is outlined with historic homes and apartments. Its inhabitants are lively. On the sidewalks, you’ll often find folks walking their dogs (or pigs, as I once saw) and playing with kids in the open fields. It’s also a great place to photograph your headshots or portraits if you live in the Birmingham area.

Carlton has been a friend of years, and it seemed like years that we were trying to photograph these headshots. But like he said, once he secured a stellar haircut, he was ready for his close-up.

I am so happy with how these came out, and the colorful mosaic of autumn easily made this one of my favorite portrait sessions of 2019.

Carlton, thank you for a great sesssion!
